REFUSAL TO BUY Of TRUST
NOT SANCTIONED BY LAW
Opinion Given by Acting At
torney General Fowler in
War Department Case.

Secretary Dickinson has found that the
statutes will not permit him to refuse to
buy government supplies from trusts
where they happen to be the lowest bid
der. Almost q year ago the Secretary
issued an order directed against the
Standard Oil Company and particularly
against the Vacuum Oil Company, one OF
it's subsidiary concerns which does a
large amount of business with the War
Department, prohibiting purchases from
them on the ground that they had been
declared by the United States circuit
court of the eastern district of Missouri
to be parties to an unlawful trust and
monopoly.
Company Appeals.
From that order the Vacuum Oil Com
to the Department of Justice. which rem
dered a decision, through Acting Attorney
General Fowler, to the effect that the
statutes require the acceptance of the
lowest bid from any responsible concern.
So Secretary Dickinson has issued cir
cular resembling his order of prohibition
and holding that mo person or CORPORA
ton can be excluded from competition in
the sale Of supplies to the government
simply on the ground that such person
or corporation has been in courts, not
of final resort. adjudicated to be party
to an unlawful trust and monopoly"
Not Final Judgment.
In his opinion Acting Attorney Cen
eral Fowler says:
LAS l understand, the Vacuum Oil
Company has not been finally adjudged
to be party to combination in re-
straint of trade. but that from the de-
cree which was rendered to that eff
feet an appeal was taken. and the case
is still pending on this appeal. 1t is
not, therefore. necessary to express an
opinion upon what the status of the
company would be If the final decree
affirmed the adjudication Of the court
below"
