corporation as an illegal combination and
monopoly In restraint Of interstate COM

That since 1893 the affairs Of all these
companies have been managed by the prn-
epal company as the business Of a single
person, so as to fix for them the price
OF crude oil, the rates for transportation
and the selling prices of its products.
That the par value of the combined
capital stock in 1899 was about 100000
900, and that in 1903 It was $50, 100000.
