History of oil trust in detail and monopoly charges
Attorneys for the United States urge a federal circuit court to revoke the charter of Blanderd Oil Company and dissolve Standard Oil. The brief traces the trust's rise, alleging unfair competition, price cutting, rebates, secret information from bribed railway workers, and domination of US petroleum markets. It claims Standard Oil controls 5–90 percent of business, 97 percent of railroad lubrication via Galena Signal Oil, and enormous profits, with high railroad pricing and restricted output for independents. The document spans about 200 pages and seeks dissolution of Standard Oil.
