Washington, June 25.-In a gigan.
tic effort to break the alleged control
of the Standard Oil company over
gasoline and Oil prices in the United
States, the federal government today
charged 80 of the country's great oil
companies with violation of the
Sherman antitrust law and asked the
district court at Chicago to enjoin
them from further violations.
The suits were filed under the d.
rection Of Attorney General Harlan
F.. Stone on the basis of an investi-
cation conducted by the federal trade
commission.
The litigation thus started by the
government is regarded by officials
of the Department Of Justice as
among the most important that has
been undertaken during the past
quarter of century.
Standard Oil Named
The companies named in the bill
include the Standard Oil Of Indiana,
Standard of New Jersey. Standard of
California, Standard OF Kansas,
Standard of Louisiana, Standard OF
New York, Standard of Ohio. the
Texas company, the American Refin.
ing company. the Aetna Refining
company and 20 other great oil COM
panies.
In explanation of the government S
legal assault on the various Standard
Oil companies. which were dissolved
several years ago by the United States
courts, the Department OF Justice is
sued the following official statement:
I'm bringing this suit Attorney
General Stone. charging that all
these great companies have combined
to control the production of gasoline
by a pooling of associated patent
rights in violation of the Sherman
antitrust act, names as the primary
defendant in the conspiracy TO or
ganize and maintain the unlawful
combination. the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana. Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, Standard Devel-
opment company, Texas company and
the Gasoline Products company.
I'm substance. the petition filed by
the attorney general alleges that, due
to the increased demand for gasoline
resulting from the great increase IN
the use of automobiles. manufacture
ers of gasoline now utilize processes
for cracking gasoline which increases
the yield from given amount Of
stock from so to 100 per cent over
the old methods of distllaton The
process is described as the subjecting
of the residue after distillation to
high temperatures and super -atmo-
spheric pressure that effects the de-
composition of molecules of the
heavier hydrocarbons. gas, oil and so
forth. into the molecules of the lighter
hydrocarbons known as gasoline.
Patents Pooled, Claim.
THE attorney general charges
that the disclosure Of this process
was made in patents issued 60 years
ago. and long since expired. and that
