Government Sues Du Pont Empire for Monopolistic Control
The 1949 civil suit seeks to dismantle a vast Du Pont family led monopoly linked to General Motors and U.S. Rubber. Willis Hotchkiss argues the trio Pierre Irenee and Lammot shaped a historic industrial power, asserting control via GM stock and firing a broad probe into plant work, profits, and future acquisitions.
