Studying Standard Oil Case.

In the Standard Oil case the Attorney
General is continuing his study of the re-
port of Charles B. Morrison and Oliver T..
Pagan, the government attorneys who in
vestigated the question. whether the de-
cree of dissolution is being violated. A
conclusion has not yet been reached. The
oil interests maintain they are complying
with the decree.
While the governments bill in the oil
case and the Supreme Courts decision
were sweeping in character. the Attorney
General, before taking any further action
in the courts, must decide whether the
decree properly interpreted the Supreme
Courts decision, which was designed to
compel competition. Unfair competitive
methods are said to have been eliminated
and the question is, are the disintegrated
companies competing or are they fixing
the high price of oil?

Subject of Complaint.

While the Supreme Court decided both
cases, the decree in neither case reached
the highest tribunal. Attorney General
McReynolds' principal complaint against
the DEGREES revolves about the pro rata
distribution of stock among the same
stockholders who controlled the original
combinations. He has pointed out that
the Supreme Court. in the Union Pacific
antitrust case, decided that such dis
tribution was not a real dissolution of
a trust under the Sherman law.

In Charge of the Work.

Miss Ellen Hope Wilson. in direct
charge of the work of the various NUM-
cipal Fairgrounds. is taking a deep in
terest in the Belmont project, and Mrs.
Mary c. Hunt has been detailed to the
estate to look after the children who
gather there to play. A croquet ground
has been opened, and in the near future
it is proposed to esta blish a tennis court.
Miss Wilson and Mrs. Hunt have been
planning to start sewing classes among
the girls at the various city Fairgrounds,
and Mrs. Hunt is. to start such a class
at Belmont in the near future. Other
plans are also being considered for max
ing the children of the neighborhood
happy at Belmont.
The work of interesting the children in
the estate and of getting them to go
there in their idle hours to spend their
time under proper supervision is being
carried forward carefully, and already a
large group have come to look upon the
place as their own.
Up to the present only very small
part of the large estate has been put to
use in this way. There are more than
10000 square feet of space in the estate
Mr.. Wardman has also placed the lower
floor of the mansion at the disposal of

independents File Digest.

| F. H. Levy, who represented the in
dependents when they unsuocessfully
sought to intervene before the final en-
try of the decree, has filed with the de-
partment digest of the situation and
an argument In favor of the legality Of
| the proposed law. This is now under
consideration. The Attorney General is
expected to give his opinion on the bill
! to the Senate committee on judiciary, to
which the Cummins bill has been re-
ferred.
Some intricate questions of law, Off
Gals of the Department of Justice point
out are involved in the CummnS meas
ure. The government, under the present
statute had sixty days in which to ap-
peal to the Supreme Court from the New
York courts decree dissolving the to-
bacco trust, but former Attorney General
Wickersham agreed to the decree and did
not appeal
1t has been suggested that since the
government did not avail itself of the
right to appeal within the time limit the
tobacco interests were entitled to regard
the decree as a final determination of the
issues and the government should not at
tempt to undo it after the expiration of
nearly two years. However, the Attor-
ney General, who regards the decree as
mere subterfuge," is giving the Cummins
bill consideration as a possible way to
cure alleged on-competitive evils

Questions Affecting Standard
Oil and Tobacco Companies
Before Attorney General.

Attorney General McReynolds is still
considering the dissolutions of the Stand
ard Oil and tobacco trusts to determine
whether further steps should be taken
by the federal government to promote
real and free competition. which, it is
alleged. does not exist in these indus
tries under present conditions, despite
the DEGREES of dissolution.
In the tobacco case the Attorney Gen
eral is giving serious thought to the bill
introduced by Senator Cummins direct
ing the Department of Justice to appeal
to the Supreme Court from the decree
of dissolution entered by the circuit court
for the southern district of New York
November 16 1911, and also authorizing
Independent tobacco manufacturers and
others to intervene in the case to object
to the decree.
