...Spain's most lucrative foreign producer, Samuel Bronston, the government has gone even farther. Once so overextended that he couldn't pay his tab at Madrid's Castellana Hilton, Bronston has been bailed out with an official two-year moratorium on his debts, plus a fat crude-oil import license. Of course, Bronston has of late been cranking out some patriotic Spanish shorts as a sort...
John D. to break up in 1911. Jersey Standard has 200 affiliate companies in 100 nations, produces one of every six barrels of world oil. Humble Oil, its biggest affiliate and the source of 40% of Jersey's profits, produces 8% of all U.S. crude oil and natural gas, sells 13% of the nation's petroleum products.

One Manhattan legislator reported being offered a campaign contribution and the payment of a primary fight should he switch his allegiance to Steingut. A New York City reformer shifted his support after an organized series of telephone...
