Washington, Nov. 15.-Attorney General
Moody today, acting through the resident
United States district attorney instituted
proceedings against the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey under the Sher-
man antitrust act by filing In the United
States circuit court at st. Louis a petit
tion in equity against it and its 20 con-
stituent corporations and partnerships
and seven individual defendants asking
that the combination be declared unlaw-
full and in the future enjoined from en-
tering into any contract or combination in
restraint OF trade, etc.
The following statement was prepared
and made public by Attorney General
Moody today:
MIR. MooDYs STATEMENT.
I'm June last by direction OF the presi-
dent, Messrs. Kellogg and Morrison
were appointed special assistant attor-
the Attorney General Purdy TO make an
investigation OF the relations OF the
Standard OIL company of New Jersey to
the business OF refining, transporting.
distributing and selling oil throughout
the United States; to ascertain all the
facts and report whether or not in their
opinion there has been violation of the
Sherman antitrust law by the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey or the per-
sons or corporations associated with or
managing IL. The counsel have completed
that duty and the report Of their investi-
cation has received careful consideration
by the president and his cabinet
"The information available to the de-
partment tends to show that the vari-
Gus corporations and limited partner
ships under the control. in the man
ner hereinafter stated, OF tho Standard
oil company of New Jersey produce.
transport and sell about 80 per cent.
of the refined oil produced, transport
ed and sold in the United states for do
nestle use and about the sane proper
tion of refined oil exported from the
United States.
That this share OF the business has
been procured by course OF action
which, beginning i'm 1870, has con-
tinued under the direction OF the same
persons. in the main, down to the pres
ent time.
That these persons now surviving
are John ID. Rockefeller, william
Rockefeller. Henry II. Rogers, Henry
NJ. Flagler, John II. Archbold, oliver III.
Payne and ChaEles NJ. Pratt.
THAT the design throughout of the
persons having control or the enter
prise has been to suppress competition
in the production, transportation and
sale OF refined oil and to obtain, as far
as possible, a monopoly therein.
That between 1870 and 1882 the de-
sign was effected through agreements
made between many persons and cor
porations engaged in this business and
that i'm 1882 the result aimed at was
made more certain by vesting i'm nine
trustees Qncludng five Of the above
named persons) sufficient stock In the
80 corporations concerned to enable the
trustees TO control their operations in
such a way that competition between
them was suppressed.
THAT this plan was acted upon until
1t was declared unlawful by the su-
preme court OF Ohio in an action

feat for governor and predicted higher

served them.

20 ALLEVIATE popular support aud has done
many things which have raised MN hlgher
I'm public estimation.
II believe that Col Colts claims VIII be
considered favorably by a majority OF the
Republicans elected TO the next general
assembly and that he will be the caucus
choice for senator.
IL expect 10 see Senator Wetmore pun
out OF the race when he discovers that
Col Colt is !n the lead; and he may get
some other dignified and honorable post
that a society man may fill acceptably,
while he relnquishes I'm favor of busi-
ness man the business position he now
holds at Washington.
There isn't the slightest chance of
any desertion OF Col. Colt by any Repub-
lican. II he should be the caucus nominee;
and there will be caucus. You may de-
pend upon that"
Col Goddard's supporters still believe
that he stands an excellent chance Of rep
resenting the state in the United States
senate. They claim that there are men
who have been elected as Wetmore men
who will vote for Col Goddard as second
choice, and will refuse 10 vote for Col.
Colt under any circumstances.
col Goddard was selected as the nom
inee of the Lincoln party" said one OF
these men. after the state had been ran
sacked as with a fine tooth comb in order
10 ascert tain what man could be found
who represented the highest type of citi-
zenship and would make the most repre-
sentative candidate for the position.
Prom this list was excluded no man
who had any claims that deserved con-
sideration: and after eliminating all the
others only Col Goddard remained.
HE could have gone out and bought
enough assemblymen to elect him beyond
peradventure OF doubt but he remained
on the high plane he has occupied all his
life and said. in effect, that he would con-
tribute sufficiently for legitimate cam
paign expenses, but not one cent 10 cor
rupt or debauch the states electorate
THE response has been about as en-
phatic a popular Endorsement as could
well be expected under our rotten bor-
ough system OF representation. Men who
represent about three -fourths OF the pop
ulation are pledged TO and will vote for
him; and we by no means despair Of his
election"

RAILWAY OFFICERS
HAVE NEW PLAN
TO AVERT TROUBLE

Chicago, Nov. 15.-Fearing that the
present agitation for increased wages has
reached a point where 1T threatens the
successful operation OF railroads, the eX-
ecut;ve officials OF all lines west OF Chi
cago have decided TO ask the interstate
commerce commission to become board
of arbitration for the settlement OF all
disputes between the employees and the
railways.
Prominent Eastern railroad men have
been consulted on the subject also. The
scheme has not yet reached the point or
organizing a committee TO make such
request OF the commission, but the plan
has received general approval.
The question which led TO the arbitra-
ton scheme is the concerted demand
which has been made by the engineers OF
q roads for an increase in wages aver
aging from u 10 10 per cent. This demand
has been coupled with the condition that
the roads involved cannot deal with their
men separately, but that an answer must
be made i'm "A wholesale fashion.
Among the railroad officials who are
favoring the commission plan are Pres-
dent +. A. Delano of the Wabash Vice
President w. A. Gardner of the North
