SAYS MR. VEIT
Denies That the Standard Oil
Subsidiaries Are Working
as One Corporation.
Now York, October 14.—In answer
to tlio Accusation made that the
Standard Oil with interlocking direc
tories, consultations, confidential
plans and exchange of views among
the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
and its former subsidiaries compris
ing the oil trust, which the federal
court ordered dissolved, have been
abolished utterly, according to the tos
timony of Itichard C. Veit, secretary
of the Standard Oil Co. of New
York. Mr. Veit while on the stand
Saturday, in the hearing before a
referee of a phase of the Standard
Oil-Water-Pierce litigation originalng
in Missouri.
"Prior to the dissolution of the
trust last December," Mr. Veit said,
"the officers of Standard Oil subsi
diaries conferred with ine and the
managers of other subsidiary compa
nies. 1 also conferred with manag
ers regarding the situation. Since
the dissolution this has been stopped!
absolutely."
"Do any officers or employes of the,
Standard Oil Co. of New York confer (
with officers or employes of other |
former trust subsidiaries?" Mr. Veiti
vas asked
"No," he replied, "my company de-j
pends entirely on itself. Every for
mer subsidiary is working absoluttely
independant of every present subsi
diary."
"How many stockholders has the
New York company?"
"About 6,000; and the list is chang
ing every day."
Since the dissolution, Mr. Veit add
ed, both the New York and New Jer
sey companies have begun the con
struction of fleets of oil schooners to
compete for trade. Six vessels were
already under construction by the
New York company, he said; the
New Jersey company was building a
fleet In Germany.
