Standard Oil Trust Targeted in US Suit in St Louis
The Department of Justice filed in US circuit court for dissolution of the Standard Oil trust and a perpetual injunction to bar 70 subsidiaries from paying dividends to the parent company. The petition traces a three-phase conspiracy from 1870 to the present, detailing holding structures, rate manipulation, and pipeline controls across multiple states including New Jersey New York Pennsylvania Ohio and Illinois. It alleges Rockefeller and associates dominated the oil business through trust agreements and the current holding company, with claims of monopolistic practices and discriminatory contracts.
