Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supreme Court of the United States, October Term, 1910: Standard Oil Company of New Jersey Et Al., Appellants, Against United States of America, Appellee, on Reargument of the Appeal From the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern Division of the Eastern District of Missouri Then the bill goes on, having through those allegations sought to establish that a combination in restraint of trade was the result, to allege various illegal means pursued through these years to effect a monopolization of the oil business, the control of pipe-lines, restrictive agreements, railroad rebates and discriminations, unfair competition - all of which are set out at great length - with the result, as the bill charges, that from ninety to ninety-five per cent. Of this busi ness from 1882 down to the time of the filing of the bill was acquired, an incident of which was the control of prices, and very large profits. Now, that is the case that is made by the bill. I will only add that, according to its allegations, in 1882, when the Standard Oil trust was formed, what were assembled were a mass of independent, competing companies, and that it was those companies - and others that had been added - that in 1899 were subjected to the control of the Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey. Answers were filed, and an enormous mass of testimony was taken but the great organic facts, counsel should be able to state so that the Court can compre hend them without any particular reference to the record, because they are not in dispute; and if I and my opponents do not fall into extravagance of statement or figurative lan guage, we should be able to make them clear to the Court.
