Standard Oil Trust Must Be Dissolved
The U S Supreme Court chief justice outlines the meaning of the Sherman anti trust law as applied to Standard Oil and explains that the Act aims to prevent undue restraints on trade and monopoly. The opinion finds that expanding the New Jersey company's stock and acquiring other firms created centralized control over petroleum and its products, constituting an unlawful restraint and attempt to monopolize. The ruling emphasizes the rule of reason in enforcing the statute and discusses remedies and the need to dissolve the trust to restore competition.

Supreme Court Reaffirms Sherman Act in Standard Oil Case
The 1906 suit in the Eastern District of Missouri sought to dissolve Standard Oil of New Jersey. The case tested the Sherman Act with extensive evidence of rebating and price cutting, resulting in a decree barring control by the New Jersey company over its subsidiaries and prohibiting intercompany dividends. The Supreme Court later heard the vast record in 1910–1911, with arguments by Attorney General Wickersham and defense counsel, weighing whether size alone justifies dissolution or if remedies at law suffice.
