DISSOLUTION CASE TAKEN UP IN
SUPREME COURT THIS AFTER
NOON ON APPEAL FROM THE
y. s. CIRCUIT COURT.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 11-Th,
final fight Of Standard Oil" for it's ex
istence under the present organiza
ton is expected to begin late today il
the supreme court. The argument IL
the tobacco dissolution suit is ex
pected to be concluded before court ad
journs this afternoon and the Stan
dard Oil defense will then be pre-
sented.
The suit under the Sherman anti

organization was instituted in 1906 ir
the circuit court of the United States

The proceedings were begun by the de
partment Of justice in the name Of the
United States against ia corporations
and seven individuals.
The principal corporation was the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
From 1882 to the present time this
company is said othave operated re-
fineries itself, but in 1899 its stock
was increased to $100,0O0,000 so as to
enable 1t to acquire the stock of nine
teen other companies, which IN turn
owned a large number of companies,
concerned in the oil business The
Standard OIL company of New Jersey
was designated as holding company
and is similar to the American To-
bacco company the organization OF
which was considered by the court dur
ing the last few days.
Lower Court Found Monopoly.
The four judges in the circuit court
found that the Standard Oil was an H.
legal combination in restraint OF inter-
state commerce and was also monop-
olizing the oil trade. A decree was en-
tered enjoining. the holding company
from exercising any control over the
subsidiary companies, and enjoining
the subsidiary companies from paying
any dividends to the holding company.
All were enjoined from engaging in in.
terstate commerce until the illegal
combination was discontinued.
The court also found that the Stand
ard Oil:
Produced more than 1-1O OF the
crude oil obtained in this country.
Owned and operated more than 1-2
Of all the tank cars used to distribute
It's products.
Manufactured more than "a Of all
the crude oil refined in the United
States.
