New York, Nov. 21.-Mortimer r.
Elliott, general counsel for the STAN
dard Oil Company said today. in
commenting for the first time on the
decision against the company handed
down yesterday by the United States
Circuit Court at st. Paul:
have seen what purports to be
the text Of the decree handed down
by the United States Circuit court
yesterday. The company will take an
appeal Immediately to the United
states Supreme Court and will cheer
FULLY abide by the verdict of the
highest court in the land, whatever
that may be.
Argument in this case began last
April, and We are glad to have reach
ed an opinion. do not mean that we
are pleased with the opinion, but that
we are glad to get it. whatever it's
nature.
The decree does not order a disso-
luton of the Standard Oil Company.
That is a misunderstanding. What
the decree orders, as I now under
standr is that the company shall dis
tribute among its stockholders. of
whom there are approximately 5000.
its holdings in the stock of subsidiary
companies. This distribution, I fur-
ther understand. is ordered to be eff
fected on a pro rata basis of appor.
tionment. That is to say, the heav-
lest holders of Standard Oil stock
would receive a proportionate num-
Der of shares in the stock OF subsi-
diary companies"
Mr.. Elliott was asked what course.
the company would adopt if the YER
dict of the lower court should be M
held in the higher court
That" he said, fs.something
shall be better prepared to discuss
when 1 have seen the opinion by
which the United States Circuit Court
justifies its decree"
