STANDARD.
Injured Parties Will Bring Action u
Decision Ordering Dissolution
Is Upheld.

Springfield, Massachusetts,. - Five
or six hundred suits against the Stand
ard Oil Company, involving claims for
damages of $250,000 or more, will be
filed if the circuit court decision order
ing the dissolution of the big monopoly
is upheld" was the statement made
by Thomas l.. Hisgen, president of the
ciatioi of the United States, and also
president of the Four Brothers indie
pendent Oil Company, the most ag-
gressive competitor of the Standard
Oil Company in the East.
Hisgen said the actions would be
brought under section of the Sher-
man antitrust law, under which the
Standard Oil Company stands convict
ed, which is as follows:
"Any person who shall be injured
In his business or property by any
other person or corporation by reason
of anything forbidden or declared to
be unlawful by this act, may sue there
for in any circuit court of the United
States in the district in which the de-
PENDANT resides or is found without
respect to the amount in the contro-
versy, and shall recover threefold the
damages by him sustained and the
cost of suit, including a reasonable at
torneys fee"
It's little more than an eye for
an eye and tooth for a tooth you
see" ayn1ainod Hr LJicOop
Specifically the Standard Oil Com
pany will be charged with depressing
the price of crude oil in certain parts
of the country, notable in Oklahoma"
According to the Independents, it is
section of the Sherman act that the
trusts have most feared, because after
trust has been found guilty about all
that an injured Iarty hos to 70 is to
prove damages.
