The Other Side

The other side OF the contest was sun :
married. by John q. Johnson, in the
closing argument in the case. He de-
clared that the country did not suffer by
the mere largensss Of the corporation
but profted. For the alleged sins that
the corporation had committed. he
argued. there existed an adequate
remedy at law and therefore it was not
necessary for equity to step in to dissolve
the corporation. He denied that rebates
were being accepted by the corporation
now, or that it was cutting prices or
organizing secret concerns, and chsrac-
terized the Governments references to
them in the past as necessary TO "give
the proper color and raise the proper
amount OF indignation in the case. He
declared that the Standard Oil organi-
cation Was the result Of orderly growth.
LET the channels Of be
open for all who may desire to enter -
said he in closing, "whether with an
ocean steamer or with dugout, with
Rockefeller wealth or with nsught but
their brains and their hands, unfettered
by their " improper restraints. and
uninteriered with by the abuses Of others.
and all will have been done that is wise.
Beyond that lies the antagonism Of ir-
resistible economic necessity, and danger
Of disaster, the length and the breadth
Of which no man can foretell."

which applied to monopolizing. The
Standard Oil had argued that there
coulo be no additional restraint o. q

Standard Oil Company Of New Jersey
was owned by 9 common body OF

To Remedy Situation
The Court then proceeded to evolve

tered q decree. epjoiDing the Standard

cising any control, by reason Of its

these subsidiary companies from paying

pany Of New Jersey. 1t put provision
in the decree to enjoin any possible
