The Oil Trust Scrutiny Sparks Nationwide Interest
The United States seeks dissolution of Standard Oil in a civil suit filed in St Louis to strip the trust and block dividends to the parent company. If successful, the trust would be permanently dissolved in a landmark case watched across the country.

The outcome will shape treatment of similar organizations and is expected to command wide attention through the Supreme Court review. The Star opposes Gov.
