the reply of Frank b. Kellogg for the
government.
The hearing of the suit against the
Standard Oil attracted to the court
room lawyers and spectators from all
sections Of the country.
Members OF both houses of Congress
fOresoOk their respective chamb ers to
hear what was to be said in the re-
view of the decree of the circuit court
Of the United States for the eastern
district of Missouri, diSsolving the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey as a
conspiracy III restraint of trade and as
monopoly in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust act. The greater part
of Mr.. NIillburn's speech to the court
consisted OF q review of the growth of
the Standard Oil Co. with the object
Of lying the foundation for the con-
tentionS that the CORPORATIONS enter
ing INTO the reorganization of the
Standard Oil Co. Of New Jersey in
1899 were non competitive, because for
mary years they had been under
so-called common ownership. He de-
scribed the tremendous business of the
Standard Oil and explained now it
grew, according To his conception. He
said large factors in this growth We're
building pip" lines. (which everybody
had a right to build" as he described;
building refinerics and extension OF the
marketing facilities throughout this
country and the entire world.
We compete abroad with great cor
porations,' he said that are pro-
tected and shielded by their govern
ments ana compelled to combine 50
that they may be powerful We have
been able To met them, because of our

Toward the close of the day he Gu
tered upon Il discussion of the Shcr-
man antitrust act. He said that in
aSmuch as the circuit held that the
mere thought OF organization was a
conspiracy To monopoiZe and it did
not consider the alleged monorolistic
conduct. he felt embarrassment about
