Old records cleared in oil gage in Texas suits
The Texas attorney general announced the settlement of about 102 million in oil suits, clearing records for Standard Oil and its Texas units. The Union Pacific plan includes a stock trusteeship to remove suspicion of Standard Oil ownership in Magnolia and Corsicana. The compromise absolves past actions before 1909 while allowing continued operation of Magnolia under new arrangements.
