Standard Oil Monopoly Brief Filed in Suit to Dissolve NJ Company
Special Assistant Kellogg filed a 1400 page brief in the circuit court as the government seeks to dissolve Standard Oil of New Jersey for alleged Sherman Act violations. The filing outlines a three period conspiracy from 1870 onward and claims Standard Oil controlled 85 to 90 percent of US petroleum trade, using rebates, secret information, and railroad ties to suppress competition. It argues the company earned about a billion dollars in 27 years with a small initial investment and held dominant control of pipe lines and rail transportation, pressuring independents and inflating retailer prices.
