     This day in legal history entry for today: on this day in 1911, #SCOTUS ordered the dissolution of Standard Oil pursuant to the Sherman Act, holding that SO’s monopoly “unduly” restrained trade. The ruling resulted in breaking Standard Oil up into 34 independent companies. These companies became known as the "baby Standards." The breakup aimed to promote competition and prevent the concentration of economic power.

     They have since merged back down in to 4.
