The former Standard subsidiaries may
follow the disclosures being brought out
in the hearing of the Standard Oil
Waters Pierce suit, now going on be-
fore Commissioner A. l.. Jacobs.
This course of procedure was threat

it charges represented the old Standard

gain control of the company
1T is astonishing that the govern
ment officials could be so easily taken
in as to believe there ever was such
lining as a dissolution" said this at

produced has shown that in every one
