Oil Trusts Monopolized Rail Lubricants, Kellogg Claims
In New York on October 2 the federal dissolution suit against Standard Oil Co of New Jersey resumed. Frank Kellogg argued indicting the Galena Signal Oil Co and Waters-Pierce Oil Co for monopolizing railroad lubricants, charging excessive prices and discrimination against certain railroads.
