BY Associated Press.


Washington, March S.-Basing its
case largely on the claim that the cor
porations merged with the Standard
Oil of New Jersey in '99 were. non
competing at that time, and on the
allegation that the Interpretation Civ
en- the Sherman antitrust law by the
lower court would strike down an or
ganized business. the Standaru Oil
Company today filed in tgSa& Snpreme
court of the United States its pfief
against the dissolution of the corpora
ton. The dissolution was ordered by
the United States circuit court of the
Eastern District of Missouri as the
result of petition of the government
filed in 1906. Whether the decree will
stand will be argued Monday
The issue, according to the brief,
is the charge that the seven indiyidu-
al defendants. John d. Rockefeller,
William Rockefeller. John D. Arch
bold, Oliver H. Payne, Henry NJ. Flag
Ter, Charles NJ. Pratt and Henry H.
Rogers, combined and conspired and
continued to combine and conspire at
the time the petition was filed, to re-
strain interstate trade in oil and 10
gain a monopoly ,of it.

Morse is not the squealing kind

thought he was going to talk they
would not be so backward in giving
him their aid added Mr.. Reid.
According to him, the fifteen-year-

COTTON MILLS CLOSE.
.>>>>>~><~>~~>,

Announcement Of the decision of a
great majority of the hosiery plants TO
shut down until Monday was the most
important step in the strike situation
today. The announcement was coupled
with the statement that II employees or
the hosiery plants affected did not re-
turn to work by then the mills might
remain closed until fall. About 10000
hands are affected by the announce.
ment.
While accessions to the strikers
ranks are reported today, including
the walk-out of a few men from the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, there
were many reports of strikers returning
10 work. The manufacturers declare
that union men are disappointed over
the failure of the general strike to
force the Rapid Transit Company to
arbitrate and are returning to work
Union leaders deny this. Several meet
ings were held this afternoon, when
speakers urged union men to stand by
the strike.
The Philadelphia brewers issued a
statement in which confidence is ex-
pressed in their workmen to stick to
their jobs. Owing to the strike, work
on the baseball park of the National
League has stopped and officials of the
club appealed to the laborers this af-
terRoon, saying that unless the work
is finished by April 18th the club will
be badly handicapped.
TO END CONFLICT.
All Philadelphia hopes that the city
wide movement begun yesterday by
the United Business Mems Union to
bring to an end the great labor conflict
that has kept the City of Brotherly
Love" in a turmoil for more than two
weeks, will meet with greater success
than the effort made last week by the
same body. This organization asked
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany and Mayor Reyburn to arbitrate
the differences existing between the
company and the men, but was given
no satisfaction.
The association, which includes
every business man of any standing in
Philadelphia, will now enlarge the
movement by taking in other crganiza-
tions that stand for the progress OF
the city. Thus reinforced, the men,
bers expect to make a united endeavor
in the interest of peace and general
welfare.
Business, especially in the central
part of the city, has suffered to an eX-
tent not known in years, and it is
feared that the heavy spring and
Easter trade will be seriously disturbed
Il an end is not soon brought to the
sndutrial war.
