Suit Aims at Standard Oil over Boys' Club Contest
The federal government filed suit in the DC Supreme Court seeking an injunction against Standard Oil Company of New Jersey for alleged code violations tied to a boys' club contest. The complaint says coupons were distributed through stations to children who then handed them to adults for prizes. The action, led by Secretary Ickes, notes the company refused to discontinue after requests and advertised the contest via radio. Conducted in DC and multiple states, the suit alleges the code and National Industrial Recovery Act were disobeyed in interstate commerce in petroleum products.
