Washington, D. G.. The Standard
OIL Company Of New Jersey and it's
nineteen subsidiary corporations
were declared Monday by the SUI
preme Court of the United States to
be a conspiracy and combination in
restraint of trade. 1t also was held
to be monopolizing interstate COM
merce in violation of the Sherman
Antitrust Law The dissolution of
the combination was ordered to take
place within six months.
Thus ended the tremendous strug-
gle of years on the part Of the gov
eminent to put down by authority Of
law a combination which, it claim
ed, was a menace to the Industrial
and economic advancement Of the en-
tire country
At the same time the court inter
preted the Sherman Antitrust Law
SO as to limit its application to acts
of undue restraint of trade and
not every restraint OF trade. 1t
was on this point that the only dis
cordant note was heard in the court.
Justice Harlan dissented, claiming
that cases already decided by the
court had determined once for all
that the word undue" or 'unrea-
sonable," or similar words, were not
in the statute. He declared that the
reasoning of the court in arriving at
its finding was in effect legislation
which belonged in every instance to
Congress and not to the courts.
Their Prayers Answered.
Ever since the decree in this case
in the lower court, the United States
Circuit Court for the Eastern district
of Missouri, was announced, hope
has been expressed by the business
world" that the, law would be modi-
| fed so as not to interfere with what
was designated as honest business.
That section of the opinion calling
for the use Of the ''rule of reason
in applying the law is regarded in
many quarters as an answer to the
prayers OF the business world.
The opinion of the court was an
| nounced by Chief Justice White. In
printed form it contained more than
/ 10000 words. For nearly an hour
the Chief Justice discussed the case
from the bench, going over most of
the points in the printed opinion, but
not once referring to it in order to
refresh his memory Before him sat

sion of the court. a
