Standard Oil Denies Trust Status in Ohio Charter Case
In Columbus July 12 the Standard Oil Company filed in the Supreme Court an answer to Attorney General Watsons suit to revoke its charter. The company admits only formation and capital facts, denies being party to any trust or supplemental agreements, and asserts its management by a stockholder elected board. It denies transferring assets to trustees and asserts trustees do not control the company. It argues directors are elected by stockholders and stock is issued to holders. It also raises statutes of limitation, asserting stockholder actions were taken in their individual capacity and not as corporate acts, and that any such actions occurred more than a year before the petition filing, potentially barring the suit.
