STANDARD OIL BEATEN
U.S. Supreme Court Decides
Against the Giant Corporation.
Court Holds That the Company Is a
Conspiracy In Restraint of Trade
and a Monopoly In Contravention of
the 8herman Anti-Trust Law Is
Given Six Months to Separate Itself
Into 33 Constituent Parts.
Washington, May 16. The supreme
court of the United Statea yesterday
ordered the dlbsolutlon of the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey. In
connection with this decree it also
handed down Us Interpretation of tho
Sherman anti-trust lnw, long awaited
by an anxious business world.
In this, the first of Its big decisions
In the anti-trust cases, the court holds
the Standard Oil company Is a 'con
spiracy in rpRraint of trade and a
monopoly In contravention of the
Sherman anti-trust law. Thus, after
a fight of many years In which every
obstacle known to the legal profession
has been Interposal, the federal gov
ernment has finally succeeded In Its
effort to compel this giant corporation
to cast off its holding company and
again to separate Itself Into Its 33 con
stituent parts.
Circuit Court's Decree Modified.
To accomplish this gigantic under
taking the court sots a period of six
months. This Is an extension of five
months over the time allotted In the
dissolution decree of the lower court.
The decree of the circuit court was
modfted by the supreme court In only
one other particular. The supreme
court orders that the Standard Oil
company and Its- subsidiaries shall not
b" excluded from Interstate commerce
pending the putting its house in or
der. The decision of the court in regard
to the general Interpretation of the
Sherman anti-trust law was awaited
with greater anxiety by the business
world than the finding of fact In the
Standard Oil case. The court holds
that It is necesrary to distinguish be
tween "reasonable" and "unreasona
ble" restraint of trade as covered by
the Sherman anti-trust law.
The effect of the decision as viewed
by distinguished lawyers, Is to Insert
the world "unreasonable" Into the gen
oral prohibition In the Sherman anti
trust law against combinations In re
straint of trade. The supreme court
has thus eliminated the uncertainty
with which all business combinations
regarded the Snerman anti-trust law,
and in the future It will be up to the
government to draw the line between
good and bad trusts.
Application of AntlTrust Law.
The antl-trurt law as construed by
tho court does not apply to all com
binations, contracts . or acts In . re
straint of trade, but only to those who
are shown to be unreasonable and in
which the Intent to form an unlawful
conspiracy or monopoly can bo proved
or inferred. The decision of the court
and Its general effect w.-w legarded
In Washington as distinctly reassuring
to buwlnes.s.
The decision of the court was read
by Chief Justice White. It wns unani
mous with the exception of Associate
Justice Harlan's dissent. Justice Har
lan's wordis were marked by biting
sarcasm. He contended the court had
not gone far enough, and he objected
particularly to the words of the chief
justice in construing the scopo and
purpose of the autl-trust act. He de
clared that the court had rendered an
opinion that reversed an unbroken
line of decisions for 15 years past. He
criticized the corporation lawyers
who. falling to got an amendment o
law through congress, came to the
United States courts for relief. He
added with manifest sarcasm that it
was becoming fashionable to amend
the constitution and the federal stat
utes by judicial constructions.
It was the Interpretation of the
Sherman law so as to apply only to
unreasonable combinations to which
Associate Justice Harlan objected so
vigorously.
Attorney General Greatly Pleased.
Attorney General Wickersham and
other officers of the administration do
not, however, share the gloom that
seemed to enshroud Associate Justice
Harlan. The attorney general and
Frank B. Kellogg, who wns special
counsel for the government In the
preparation and trial of the case, de
clared themselves greatly pleased over
the decision. The attorney genoral,
fn a public statement holds that sub-stantlnlly-every
proposition contended
for by the government was affirmed by
the supreme conrt. The attorney gen
eral acknowledges that his office will
now be restricted In bringing actions
under the Sherman law to combina
tions which are unreasonably or un
duly restraining Interstate trade or
commerce. .
