HOT OX OIL TEUSFS TBAI (Continued from first Page.). s le'U-Vi employed on the New York Central Railroad, a wen as on many other railroads. 111 such a fashion to amount to thwarting the purpose . of the Jaw, although the form 01 we law may be complied with. A v - it ! unfortunately not true that the Standard Oil Company In the only , great corporation whlcn in tne-immediate past haa beneBted, and U at this : moment benefitlnga.ln wholly lmprop v r faahlon ty an elaborate aerlee of . rate discriminations wnicn permit u is nrot both at the expense f It rival and of the general public. The . , Attorney General report to me that ; the Investigation now going on ai to ;,tbe shipment by the sugar trust - over the trunk lines running; out of , JMew'Tork city tends to ahow that the " v Z ur trurt rarely If ever paya the lawful rate for transportation, and la -. thus imnrooerly. and proba-bly un . ' lawfully, favored at the expense of Ita ' competitor and tne general puono, The argument Is sometimes ad- V vanced against conferring upon some governmental body -the power -of u '' pervlhlon and control over Inter-State - commerce, that no not tena to wea en Individual Initiative., Investlga. ' tlons such a this conclusively dl ' Drove any such allegation. On the contrary the proper play for Individ '., ual initiative can onty be secured by ' Z uch governmental supervision a Will - - , curb mo monopolies wnicn crum 7 v out all Individual Initiative. The ' ' railroad ltelf cannot without uch . . . government aid protect the Intercut 1 of Its own stockholders as against one of these great corporation loosely ',.''? known a trust. '. i: In the effort to prevent the rall . s, roads from uniting for Improper pu" poses we have very unwisely prohlb ?',',lted them from uniting for i -. proper : purposes; that la, for -purposes of protection to them j Z selves and to the general .pub , : .j lie a against the power of the great ' corporation. They shoold certainly . be given power thus to unite on con-"T- ajltlons laid down by CongresK. such condition to include the specific ap- ' proval of the Inter-State commerce , commlsMlon of sny agreement to v. v which the railroad may come. In addition to yil the government must Interfere thrOugh i( agent to deprive ; ' the railroad of the ability to make to the big corporation the concessions , -' which othcrwlae It I powerless to re-fuse. RECOMMENDS POWER EXAMI.N ATlON. The government should have pow er by Ita agents to examine into the conduct of the railway that Is, the examiners under the direction of the nter-fUate commerce commission should be able to examine a thor- ughly. into "the affairs of thn rail- , roads a. bank examiner now examine 'Into the affair ot banks. It Is Imposaible to work a material improvement In conditions such as above described merely through the Instrumentality of a law suit. A law suit Is often s necessary method; but .by Itself It Is an utterly Inadequate .'method. What 1 needed la the conferring upon the com mission of ample affirmative " power, so conferred as W make ; its decisions take effect at once, sub ject only to such action by the court as Is -demanded by the constitution. ' The .court have the power to, and wllr undoubtedly. Interfere If the ac tion of the commission should be come in effect confiscatory of tbe property of an Individual or corpora tion, or If the commission should un dertake to do anything beyond the authority conferred upon It by the law under which It Is acting. I am well aware that within the limits thus 'set the commission may at times be . guilty of Injustice; but far grosser and far, more frequent Injustice, and : Injustice of a much more aerlou kind, now result and must a! way re sult from the failure to give the com mission ample power to act promptly and effectively within these broad limits. Though not bearing upon the ques tion of railroad ratea. there are two measure consideration of which Is Imperatively augseated by the sub mission of this report. The Standard OH Company has, largely by unfair or unlawful methods, crushed out Home competition. It I highly de sirable that an element of comple tion should be Introduced by the pas age of some such law as that which has already pasaed the Hoiia. put- ting alcohol uced in the arts and mnn- Ulacturea upon the fn-. Ut. Fur thermore, the time has come when no oil or cos I lands held by the gov ernment, either upon the public do main proper or In territory owned by the Indian tribe, should be alienated The fee to su h lund should be kept In the United Htate government whether or not the profit arising from It sre to be given to any Indian tribe, and the lands should b leased only on such terms and for such periods as will enable the govern ment to keep entire control thereof.

Sir; I have the honor to auburn the part of the report on th oil n duatry whkh has to do with tha sub Ject of transportation and frela-ht . rates. House resolution No. 49, ruu(..,l February li, lnoi, directed particu lar attention to the condition of tin, ' Kansas oil field. The study of the ull Industry hlch had thurtiioforo been made by the Ijurcau showed that -a special report upon tho con dition In tho Kansas tw.tj ould not be advisable. A report on any spe cial field would of iicHity bu un ',, fair to both tho producer end tha '. refiners, for the reason ihat the pure ly local conditions do not by any means determine the price of either crude oil or It product or afford ,. a proper basl or understanding the , condition of the industry. Therefore, - a general, and ,very extensive lnvet. gallon ha beefii conducted, covering : the following subjects: ' I. Crude oil production In the X United State and IU relation . to the ..world's supply; tbe price and math- ds of purchase. " f. The use, development and con trol of pipe line. . . I."

' ., I hsve personally visited nearly all of the great fields and have been In communication, - either personally 'or through tbe agent of the Bureau! with many hundred producers and practk aiiy the refiners and trsn. roriatlon akencies engaged In the dl ributioa of lt A special agent of the Bureau was sent to Europe to rudy aCfirt hnd the condition In foreign producing field and flietrlbut-. fng market. The fart obtained ave In every feasible way been rer- ifled by examination of the original sources of Information.; j r ; by far the greater part of the ma terial necessary for the completion of .the entire report has .been -col lected. The preliminary study ot.thls material showed that the most impor tant sabjeci-a 'transportation, v be cause the cost of transportation l i ve,ry large percentage of , the total coat to the consumer of the finished product, and hence a moat Impor win mvw tu vwiiifol(vfu; '" ' The control of tha Btandard .Oil Company ever the entire oil Industry la so great a to require-a special study of its relations to transportation companies. ; -y: . X therefore first' submit the accom paying report upon . the subject of railway transportation and freight rates. As It neceiuuirlly cover many details, I beg to Invite your attention to the following summary of Its more prominent features. , The manufacture of refined oil. commonly known as . kerosene, - Is about f 6,000,900 barrels annually, of which the Standard Oil Company di rectly and Indirectly Controls 22,000,- 000. It also, controls approximately the same proportion of the other fin ished product of petroleum. . - The refineries owned or controlled by the Standard OH Company ; are located near New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore). Chicago, Kansas City, In western New York and Pennsylvania. In West Virginia, Ohio, Kansas. Col orado, California and Texas, ita larg est refineries are located at the great center of distribution, which are con- i nected by pip lines with the crude- oil fields. ' The refined proilutc are carried by rail and water. The Inde pendent refineries that Is, those not owned or controlled by the Btandard Oil Company ere located with a very few exception, at or near the crude-oil Melds. This difference of lo cation, as will be seen later. Is of Importance. The Htandard claims that' the lo cation of Its refineries and the uae of pipe lines are natural advantages to which It Is Justly entitled by reaaon of the energy and foresight of Its managorn. While In a measurs that is true, it musf not be forgotten that' these advantage were In part obtaln er by me-ans of unfair competitive methods atcr years of fierce Indus trial strife. Ul'KClAL, AGREEMENTS. Ths development of the pipe-line system by the Standard Oil Company was the result of special agreement with railroad companies. Further more, those so-called natural advan tages have been and are being great ly Increased by. discrimination in freight rates, both published and se cret, Inter-Stater and State,- which give the Standard monopolistic con trol In the greater portion of the coun try, and which so limit competition ( a- t0 practlcaly prevent the exten- sloti of the business of any Indepen dent to a point which even remote ly endanger the supremancy of the standard. An Immediate result of this de limitation of the Competitive area Is shown by the prices of ordinary Il luminating oil throughout the coun try. After deducting the freight rate the price of such oil I usually from 2 cents tu S cents a gallon higher in the noncompetitive than in the com petitive fields. A reasonable profit up on refined oil ia about one-half a cent per gallon. It I clear that ex orbitant profit are obtained In the noncompetitive field. This monopo listic control extend from the well of the producer to the door step of the consumer. The facts regarding freight ratea hav been obtained by the examina tion of thousand of entries upon rail road record a With but a single Im portant exception, railroad companies have, upon application of the Bureau of Corporations, given access to rec ord of both State - and Inter-State business. Tho New York Central Company refused for Itself and Its affiliated lines to give access to rec ords or Htate rate. At the begin ning of this Investigation the officials of the Standard Oil Company stated that that company had not obtained In recent years and was not now ob taining any rebate or other transpor tation dlmrlmlnatlon as agatnat Its competitor. They Invited the moat careful investlKatlon of the subjejet. Upon the request of Ita attorney, all the cBaentlal fact discovered by this itureau were presented to the company at the close of the Investi gation, and un exhaustive statement relating thereto was made by It chief iramc oriicer. There waa no denial of the facts found, but explanations of particular situations were offered, nnd It wa urged that the fact did not show any violation by the Stan dard of the letter or spirit of the Inter-State commerce law. A most careful review of the fact and the explanations leads to the following conclusion: The Standard OH Company haa habitually received from the railroads, and Is now receiving, secret rate and other unjust and Illegal discrim inations. During 1 004 the Standard saved about three-quarters of a million dol lars through the Hccret rates dlcov irod by ths Bureau, nnd of course there may bo other secret rates which the Uuroau ha not discovered. This amount represents the difference be tween the open rates and tha rates actually paid. Many of these dis criminations were clearly in viola tion of the InU-r-SUte commerce law, and others, whether technically 'Ma gal or not, had tho same effect up on competttora. On some Slate busi ness secret rates were applied by means of rebates. These discrimination have been so long oontlnued, so socret. so Ingeni ously applied to new conditions of trade, and so large In amount a to make It certain that they were due to concerted action by the Standard and the railroads. Th Standard Oil Company I ro-t-flvlnB unjust discrimination In open raw-. -i Ths published rale from the lead ing Htandard shipping point are rel atively much lower than rate from th shipping point of Its competl tors. .The advantage to the Standi ard over It competitors from such open discriminations Is enormous, probably a important a that ob tained ihrouih the secret rate. If an unfair discrimination be 'ok. talnsd by one shipper through a de vice Which In It.elf Is seemingly not prohibited by law, that fact" shows that the law I defective and should be strengthened: It does not show just th d,m:r,m,nal,on.,B.Ir?),rfor The following are a few of the' most Important discrimination " and the method by which they wreob. talned" .I); For .about (en years the New England territory hss.b-en In con. trol tt the Ptandsrd Oil Company by reasonof th refusal of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road and of the, Boston" and Maine road, on , all Utt't few divisions, to pro ratVe,, to Join in through rates on oil snipped from west of the Hud.

The Standard ia entitled to the ad vantage of it' water shipping points in reaching New England,- but that advantage, was 1 greatly and unfairly Increased when the railroads,: by re fusing to prorate, virtually kept' in denpendent refiner from using all rail routes. The refusal to prorate increased the rail rates from the. West from S to 10 ', cents per hundred pounds, ' These tallroads do ' prorate on all other " com module; their re fusal to do so .In the case of oil amounted to lrnpdrrng a substantial tax on all consumer In the region they cover,' and la also a heavy discrlm tnatlon against the smaller refiners. m The Standard Oil Company haa been able to absolutely control for many year the sale of oil In the northeastern part of New York and In a portion of Vermont by means of secret rates from Its refineries at Olean and Rochester. ! . ; v PENNSYLVANIA'S RATE. - The Pennsylvania Railroad ' haa given the Standard a rate of 9 cents barrel from Olean, "N. . Y..J to Ro chester, while - the Independent re- finerle situated In territory adjacent to oiean were given a rate of 18 cents barrel. By means of this -cent rate, in combination with a rate from Rochester to Norwood. N. Y.. virtu ally .secret and very low rate front Norwood; N. Y to Burlington, and secret local' rates therefrom the Standard has been able to supply cen trai ana northern Vermont with oil at a rate of from IS to 11 cents per hundred pounds, whereas no In dependent refiner could reach that territory from western Pennsylvania save by a rate verylng from It to SO centa per hundred pound. i he saving to the Standard dur- ng 104 by the secret rate from Olean to Rochester alone was $11S, 00 0. This and other lee important rates from Olean were unknown to the Independent refiners, and were not published on the ground that they were wholly State rate; yet In fact they were ued for oil consigned to points beyond the State boundary of New York. Furthermore, all the shipments -from Olean on these se cret rates were blind-billed i. e the rates were not shown on the way bills. 3) The Btandard Oil Company has maintained absolute control of al most the whole section of the country south of the Ohio liver and east of the Mississippi by mean of secret fate and open discrimination la ratea from "Whiting. Ind. For example.- the published tariff rati, from Whiting, Ind., the great western refinery of the Standard, to Birmingham, Ala:, was 44 cents per hundred pounds. For at least ten years the Stsndard, by means of secret combination of rate by way i of Grand Junction, Tenn., over the llneg of the Chicago and Eastern Il linois, the Illinois Central, and the Southern Railway, has shipped 611 to Birmingham for 24 cents. The To ledo competitor, no farther distant, had to pay 47 H cents. A great area In the South haa been reached by this tame secret compi natlon at ratea averaging one-fourth loss than the published rates. The total savlrfg to the Standard on these ratea has been about 170,000 per year. Again, the open rate from Whit ing to Kvanavlllc, Ind., ha been for many years 11 cents. The Standard has for about ten years shipped oil to Kvansville for local use and for many points beyond In the Southeast at so-called State rates of t cents and 8 cents. The freight paid by the Standard In this case haa been about $10,000 per year less than the open rate. -i- The rate to this same territory from the Independent refining points at Toledo and Cleveland were from 8 to 28 cents per hundred pounds, or from Vi to 1 H cents a gallon high er lhan the rate received by the Bund ard. ,..:''' The records of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad Company show plainly that these Orand Junc tion and Kvansville rate .were In tended to be secret, were given for the sole benefit of the Standard, and were handled as secret ratea with the knowledge of Standard official. (4) The Standard Oil Company haa for at least ten year shipped oil from Whiting to Kast St. Louis, 111., at a rate of I or 1 14 cent on three of the five railroads running between those plnces, while the only duly published rate on all roads has been 18 cents during sll that period. The saving to the Standard amounted to about $240,000 in 1904. For many year East St. Louis haa been the gateway for oil shipments by the Standard Into the Southweat. The rates from the .Independent re fining points of Ohio to East St. Loul have been about 1$ cents higher than the rate from Whiting, whereas, on other commodities of similar grade these points pay only about I cents more than Whiting. Whiting t located In Indiana, about two mile from the Illinois line. Kast St. Iouis Is In Illinois, Just across (.the river from Ht. IO u Is. The secret low rte were given by the Chlcsgo, Burlington and Qulnry and Alton, and'Chlrngo and Eastern Illinois rail roads. They were not published, on the ground that they were State rates, in dealing with these rates, one of the roads the Chicago and Alton falsely waybllled the freight at 18 cents, and collected from the Stand ard cents. The Chicago and East ern Illinois blind-billed at the.l-cent rale, but' it was none the less secret.'!

The Associated Oil Company, the union Oil Company, and- some consumers of oil also received-rebates and se cret rates, but the 'Standard appar ently received as much as all other Interests combined. On shipments to Arlsona, rebates on State ratea were received by. the Standard In connec tion with Inter-State shipments; this virtually was a rebate on inter-State business. Owing to the tact that tu el oil Is extensively sold under con tract on the Pacific coast, rate dis criminations obtained by a few fav ored; shipper have enabled them to monopolise markets ror long perioas.
