THE STANDARD OIL CASE.
TRUST LAWYERS CLAIM COMPE.
TITION WAS NOT STIFLED.
ROckefellers' Combine Declares Conn
panies 1t Absorbed Were Not Its
Rivals I'm Business.

Washington, March S.--Basing its
case largely on its claim that the cor
porations merged with the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey in 1899
were non-competing at that time. and
on the allegation that the interpreta-
ton given to the Sherman antitrust
law by the lower courts would strike
down organized business, the STAN
dard Oil Company today filed in the
Supreme Court of the United States
its brief against the dissolution. of that
organization.
This order of dissolution was pass
ed by the district court for the east
ern district of Missouri. Whether or
not the decree of dissolution shall
stand will come up on Monday for
oral argument in the Supreme Court.
Frank B. Kellogg is now in the city
putting the finishing touches to the
brief Of the government, while Attor-
ney General Wickersham is under
stood to be preparing an oral argu-
| ment of the case.
The brief for the Standard OIL
bears the names Of D. T. Watson,
John M. Freeman and Ernest c. Ir-
win.
The argument of counsel for the
Standard Oil in support of the con-
tention that the corporations whose
stocks were exchanged in 1899 for
stock in the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, were non-competitive. is
based on the assertion that they were
all owned at that time in the same
property on and by the same people
who owned the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey.
1t is claimed the method of organ
| ization in 1899 was dictated by econo-
mic reasons, and that the business
created by the individual defendants
John D. Rockefeller, William Kief
John O. Archbold, Oliver H. Payne
Henry M. Flagler, Charles M. Pratt
and Henry H. Rogers, was a lawful
one. the success of which, it is assert
ed, was the legitimate reward of what
Is described as unusual risk, energy
skill and plenty Of capital.
In summing up their brief, counsel
put their case this way:
"This group of men has done all
this: Have created property-have
| created wealth-have added to the
wealth Of our country and it's taxable
property; have done it with their own
means and skill and industry; work
ed at it from 1869 to 1910; risked
their fortunes in it's development. And
yet in 1910 court sitting in equity
struck their organization down. Not
because they were doing unlawful
things-but simply because they
made q mistake as to the method in
which they could the better hold their
| combined properties"
