by Thomas l.. Hisgen, president of the
Independent Petroleum Makers Asso-

president of the Four Brothers Inde-

Hisgen said the actions would be
brought under section Of the Sher-

Standard Oil Company stands convict

ANY person who shall be injured
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.
fendant resides or is found without
respect to the amount in the contro-

damages by bim sustained and the
cost of suit, including a reasonable at
torney's fee"
It's a little more than an eye for

see, explained Hr. EIsgen.
Specifically the Standard Oil Com

the price OF crude oil in certain parts
of the country. notable in Oklahoma
According to the independents, it is
section I OF the Sherman act that the
trusts have most feared, because after
a trust has beco found guilty about all
