Oil Case Has Interest at Supreme Court Hearing
The Supreme Court hears final arguments in the Standard Oil and tobacco cases as government and industry representatives fill the courtroom. John G Milburn, for Standard Oil, watches whether the company can remain intact amid the government’s Sherman Act challenge. The lengthy Standard Oil suit began in 1906 in Missouri, alleging a holding company controlled 65 firms, which owned 114 more, and seeking dissolution for restraint of interstate commerce and monopolization. The appeal followed a circuit court decree dissolving the organization.
