Standard Oil Fight Moves Through Missouri Courts
In Jefferson City the Missouri Supreme Court considers Commissioner Anthony’s report on the ouster suit by the State against Standard Oil, Waters-Pierce, and Republic Oil. The commissioner finds evidence of a 1901 agreement to fix prices, control trade, and stifle competition, giving the trio 40 percent of Missouri’s oil business and misleading the public about corporate separation. The court may affirm or remand for further action, potentially stripping franchises from Waters-Pierce and Standard Oil subsidiaries.
