700 PER CENT NOT ENOUGH
H. C. Pierce Didn't Manage Oil
Co. Effectively. Witness SAYS.
THEY PICKED COL. STEWART
S. o. Named Officers of the Sub.
sidiary Companies, J. A..
Moffett Testifies.

James A. Moffe,t cold a good many
times Yesterday why he had picked Colonel
Robert NJ Stewart to head the Waters
Fierce OH Company Moffett owned a share
and a fraction Of stock in the company. he
said, and he didn't think Henry CLAY Pierce
was managing the property effectively SO
he talked Il over with Mr.. Archbold. y. NJ.
Pratt. A. G. Bedford and Walter G. Teagle.
all his fellow directors In the Standard OIL
Company OF New Jersey, Of which he IS
Etce-presldent, and all. like him, stockhold-
ers In the Waters Pierce company. ana
they agreed that Colonel Stewart who had
been counsel for the Standard Oil Company
81 Indiana. should have the job
In behalf Of the Waters Pierce telers
who refused to count the proxies for
Stewart Samuel Untermyer asked him:
And II Mr.. Stewart got control Of tho
management you'd expect him TO compete
with the Standard on"
Ia expect him TO conduct HIS business
for his stockholders"
Earlier in the day Mr.. Tntermyer had
asked him:
Did YOU know how many millions tn"
Standard OF Of New Jersey got out o.
the Pierce company und"r the
management Of Mr. Pierco-did YOU know
II was as much rs 100000 in one YEAR,
II did not" replied tho witness II
thought il was sc.So0Oo0"
That was 7nO per cent on It's capitallzs-
ton Of sO00n0-pretty good, wasn't it, re-
torted Uutermver.
In his attempt TO prove that the Standard
oil Company Of New Jersey was trying
10 control the Waters Pierce company
through Stewart. IN violation Of the Su-
preme Courts dissolution decree. Mr.. Tn
tcrmyer sought 10 show. as he had the DAY
before that the Standard OIL and It's former
subsidiaries still in reality acted as one.
He brought out, for instance that the
Standard OIL Company Of New Jersey had
not extended the territory In which ii mar
keted its product. though capable of doing
so. and that the New York company still
marketed the product of the New Jersey
company. though never on a commission
basis, as formerly.
Mr. Mofett denied generally and in detail
that the Standard OIL Company OF New
Jersey and It's former subsidiaries worked
together since dissolution. although the day
before he had testified that ne and other
Standard officers had met frequently nj
No % Broadway and practically appointed
the officers OF the various ex-subsidiaries.
The hearing which was conducted IN
Samuel Untermyer's office before commis-
sioner. was adjourned sine die.
