Supreme Court Upholds Texas Anti-Trust Ruling Waters-Pierce case
The U S Supreme Court handed down an opinion sustaining Texas court decisions in waters and Pierce Oil Co V Texas anti trust statutes of 1899 and 1895. The ruling focused on contracts forcing exclusive purchases and price controls, tying Waters-Pierce to the Standard Oil trust. Justice McKenna delivered the opinion. The case arose from Waters-Pierce operating in Texas since 1898 under Missouri incorporation and challenged forfeiture of business privileges. The court limited review to the local commerce contracts and did not broadly discuss trusts. The decision affirmed state sanctions and rejected Waters-Pierce contentions.
