OIL TRUST DENIES
VIOLATION OF LAW
Files Brief in Opposition to Gov
ernment's Suit Aiming at
Its Dissolution
Contends Corporations Merged
With New Jersey Company
Were N0nc0mpeting

WASHINGTON, March S.-Basing its
porations merged with the Standard
oil company of New Jersey in 1899
were noncompeting at that time, and
on the allegation that the interpreta-
tion given to the Sherman antitrust
law by the lower court would strike
down organized business, the Standard
oil company today filed in the supreme
court OF the United States it's brief
against the dissolution OF that organi-
zation
This dissolution was ordered by the
circuit court of the United States for
petition fled by the government in
1906. Whether the decree of dissolu-
tion shall stand will come up Monday
for oral argument.
Frank b. Kellogg is now putting the
finishing touches on the brief of the
government, while Attorney General
Wickersham is understood to be pre-
pairing an oral argument of the case.
The brief for the STANDARD Oil" bears
the names of D. T. Watson, John M.
Freeman and Ernest C. Irwin.
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 noncompetitors, is
based on~the assertion that they were
all owned at that time in the same
proportion and by the same people
who owned the Standard oil company
of New Jersey.

TO the fact that the walkout covers the
entire I4O square miles of territory
embraced ia the city of Philadelphia,
Except in certain sections like Ken

ters, manufacturing establishments are
pretty well scattered. Some employ
ers, TOO, for business reasons do not
wish to give an accurate statement OF
the number of men idle.
The textile and the building trades
are the most seriously affected. Prac-
ticsliy all the big building operations
in town are tied up.
There appeared to be more cars in
service today than at any time since
the railway strike started.

leaders that he will arrange to have
