The patrol Attorney General' Mitchell Hits at Standard-Vacuum Merger in Anti-Trust Action. SPEEDY TRIAL PLANNED Government Sees Conspiracy in Plans for Second Biggest Petroleum Concern. St. Louis, March 24. Suit waa filed In Federal Court today by the Department of Justice asking that tho proposed $900,000,000 mer ger of the Standard Oil Co.

of New York and the Vacuum Oil Inc; be declared Illegal. The suit charged the merger would violate an anti-trust decree handed down 19 years ago, that vlr tually dissolved what was known as the Standard Oil "Empire. Had Threatened Action fho legal action begun today fol lowed announcement, on Feb. 24 by Attorney General Mitchell that he had decided on such a test case after attorneys for the two companies had asked for an expression of views of the department as to legality of the merger. Merger of the two companies would create a new company to be known as the General Petroleum which would be second in size among the oil companies only to the Standard Oil Co.

of New Jersey.

Government's Brief The Government's brief asserts that under terms of the decree In the original case. In which the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey was split into separate corporations, the court held that these defendants had been en gaged in conspiracy in restraint of trade.

The Government asks that the contract for the proposed merger be de. dared In violation of the decree and tfhat the two companies Involved, with sill their employes, be enjoined from proceeding further with the merger. It Is the Intention of the Government to bring the case to speedy trial as soon as the defendants have filed their answer. The Government's petition alleged that the merger would violate the dissolution decree, aBked that contracts In connection with the plan be declared null and void, that both companies be enjoined from calling meetings of stockholders to vote on the merger, and that costs of the present legal action be paid by the defendants. The dissolution decree of 1911 climaxed a series of legal moves that started when Theodore Roosevelt, as President, began his "trust-busting campaign.

Three Circuit Court judges handed down the decree which enjoined and prohibited officers and directors of Standard Oil from entering any com blnations In restraint of trade. More than 40 oil refining and pipe line companies were named, and among the Individual defendants were such figures In the oil world as John D. and William Rockefeller, Henry M. Flagler and John D. Archbold.

Up to that time the two companies figuring In the present ckst were subsidiaries of the Standard Oil of New Jersey; which was dissolved by this decree. a on Is Survivor Tells Story i Stanley Flelss, II, the only survlv-1 EnOUgh Vl Cl fl C6 tO Indict ng member of the family, told his tory to police today, apparently not et realizing that the boarder, whom he had called "good friend, had aused the death of hla entire tarn- I The special Grand Jury which has Stanley said he slept In the been Investigating the loss of 11 lives iltchen, his mother and father and in a flro at the Manhattan studio of he other children in the small tlv- the I'nthe Film Co. lust December, to-ng room of the story and a half day found the evidence Insufficient Iwelllng.
