Denunciation of Standard Oil Monopoly Urged by FTC
Washington July 13 A federal trade commission report to Congress denounces Standard Oil policy of maintaining a gasoline monopoly in the United States. It urges immediate legislation to prevent interlocking stock ownership among Standard Oil concerns and notes the interlocking holdings have created a nationwide monopoly despite Sherman act interpretations. The Rocky Mountain district illustrates-wide margins between wholesale and retail prices, yet no conspiracy to fix prices was found. The FTC says existing law cannot remedy the issue and calls for new legislation. This report will be considered by the Senate committee investigating high gasoline prices.
