Statement in Rebuttal of Commis
sioner Garfield '* Charge*.
1h» detailed reply of the Standard oil Com
pany, to th» chaises against it contained in the
recent report of the Commissioner of Corpora
tions, which was transmitted to Congress by the
President In a special message on May 4, was
made public yesterday afternoon.
Promptly following: the publication of the mes
sage and report. It will be remembered, a state
ment was issued by M. P. Elliott, general solici
tor of the Standard Oil Company, and one by
H. H. Rogers and John D. Archbold. and it was
then announced that a comprehensive response
to the charges would be given out later, in tho
form of a communication from the directors to
the stockholders. That statement, which has
been issued as a pamphlet of a little over nine
p&f os. makes no reference to the subject matter
of the President's message, but confines Itself to
traversing certain of the charges made by Com
missioner Gar field, which are taken up one by
one and discussed with varying fulness.
Summing up the subject, the statement says
that it has not been shown that the Standard
Oil Company has in about fifteen years received
* single rebate on its interstate shipments.
The statement is. in part, as follows:
It must be borne In mind that when shipments
aye made between two points located in different
States or territories, such shipments are Interstate
and th« rates thereon are within the jurisdiction of
the federal authorities. Shipments which are made
between two points within the same state or terri
tory are state or lntra*tate shipments, and the
rates thereon do not come within the Jurisdiction
cf the federal authorities.
Mr. Garfleld opens his detailed Instances with
the alleged refusal of the New York. New Haven
& Hartford Railroad and the Boston & Maine Rail
road to prorate on oiL the Inference being that
this gave an undue advantage to the Standard be
cause the latter reached coast points in New Eng
land by water, and distributed oil thence by rail to
the interior.
'; was pointed out to the Commissioner that
competitors distributed oil in the same way from
Bridgeport. Conn., enjoying exactly the Fame rates
to points on the New Haven system a? those paid
by the Standard from Wilson's Point. Norwalk.
Conn., to the same stations, and that the same was
true as to the rates given to a competitor at Bev
erly. Mass.. as compared with the rates given to
the Standard Oil Company at East Boston, Mass.
Corroborative of the foregoing. President C. 8.
Mellen of the New York. New Haven & Hartford
road has stated that "there are others operating
Upon our lines with the Standard Oil Company un
der the same circumstances and conditions." Presi
dent Lucius Tutttle of the Boston & Maine Rail
road says: "No man can say with the slightest
semblance of truth that the Boston & Maine has
ever shown any discrimination between the Stand
ard Oil Company and any other oil producers."
THE RATES FROM OLEAN.
Under the head of "The Rates From Olean*
the report says that the Vacuum Oil Company
has refineries at Olean and Rochester, and that
the rate of nine cents a barrel was put in as a
"between refinery rate" and has been in force
for a great many years. It quotes the explana
tion heretofore made on this subject by Vice
president Thayer of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, and adds:
While the commissioner dwells with emphasis
tpon the low rate of nine cents between Olean and
Rochester, he makes no mention of. a tariff of
which *he has knowledge, showing a rate of nine
cents a barrel on crude oil and ten cents on refined
0.l »rom Freemansburg. Perm.. to New York Har
bor, a distance of but little less than that between
O.€ n and Rochester, the rates from Freemansbure
being used entirely by competitors of the Standard.

charges that owing to a certain "virtually secret"

Standard enjoyed lower rates than competing ship

*>; a tariff filed with the Interstate Commerce Com-
Wsslon. but as far back as 1859 was applied to a
shipment made by a competitor of the Standard.
Taking up "Shipments lr.to the South." the re
port cays:
Mr. Garfleld charges that the Standard Oil Com
pany has maintained "absolute control" of the
eecuon of country south of the Ohio River and
ea-t of the Mississippi through "secret- rates and
or*r. d;6 ?rlminations from Whiting. Ind.
The charge covers many rate points. First comes
that as to the oil entering the South through
what is termed the Grand Junction. Term. com-
Wnatton. For years and by way of both the n
ifZl S entral , and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
railroads running south from Chicago the rate on
refined oil from Whiting. Ind.. to Grand Junction.
Term.. was 13 cents per 100 pounds, and this rate
was covered by published tariffs filed with the in
terstate Commerce Commission. The latter fact
j.lr. Garfleld has omitted to state In his report
The Southern Railway had a tariff also published'
arc filed with the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion naming rates from Evansvllle. Ind via
Orand Junction. Term.. to a great many points
t.iroagh the South. . . . These rates have been
In force since 183*. and collections have always
fceen made from the Standard Oil Company at the
net figures, no rebates or secret settlements being
lnrclvcd. ... The use of the Grand Junction
route was simply an incident in the distribution
c a psrt of a very large tonnage into the South.
■ • - So far as the rates from Whiting to Evans
*U» are concerned, the fact la that these rates
were openly quoted by the railroads and were in
*. er^i many year* The Standard had
rnthJng to do with the railroads' method of manl
• ftK ns ; I «' simply paid the rates quoted to It
without rebate or secret settlement of any kind.
RATE TO EAST ST. LOUIS.
Mr. Garfleld complains of the application of a
rate, of six cents per 10" pounds on oil from Whit
ir.g. Ind.. to East St. Louis. 111., claiming that it
2" wih 8 ? 1 ,'? te a ? d *, nat ln the matter of
aray-feiutag by the railroads, manipulation was
resorted to with the knowledge of the Standard
£».l officials ... . For several years the three
roads (the Burlington, the Alton and the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois) applied the six cent rate from
whiting under their widely known rule under-
Btoo4 by every carload shipper In Chicago and
vicinity, viz.: that Chicago rates would apply to
Ud from all points within the switching limits.
A. number of these points are Just across the
border in Indiana and are the seat of important

The New York Edison Com
pany supplies light for every
thing, from the great illuminat
ed signs up and down Broadway
to the one-candle-power night
light in a sick room. It supplies
power that whirls the great
printing presses in Newspaper
Row or revolves an electric fan to
keep the sick room cool. It lights
the whole city with the same
ease that it lights a single
light. It whirls a million
wheels with the same
ease that it turns one.
This wonderful service is at the immediate dis
posal of any Manhattanite for any purpose, at a
cost much less than he probably supposes. The
New York Edison rates are the lowest of any of
the world's great cities.

East St. Louis roads hauling the traffic did not
reach Whiting, and that the cars were switched
to them by a Chicago switching road. AH the
Standard Oil Company knows of this transaction
Is that it delivered cars to the switching road at
Whiting, consigned to East St. Louis, and that the
carrying roads collected freight from the Standard
Oil Company at the regular rate of six cents per
109 pounds. There was no secrecy about it.
While dwelling upon what he considers a low
rate used by the Standard from Whiting to East
St Louis Mr. Garfleld fails to mention that in
1896 and later, the same rate on oil was in force
by the Illinois Central from Kankakee. 111., to oast
St Louis, for the benefit of a plant located at
Kankakee and in which the Standard Oil Company
was in no way interested. The same road made a
rate for the same shipper of one and one half
cents per 100 pounds from Kankakee to Chicago,
a distance of fifty-six miles.
In this section cf the report the only reference
to Kansas Is that there are seme "unfair open
rates'— a matter too vague to answer, and the
statement that "a more important discrimination
lies In the arbitrary weights fixed by the railroads
on crude and fuel oil. As known to every shipper
of oil in the United States, It has been the general
custom of the railroads to assess the weights of
all the liquid products of petroleum at an esti
mated average of six and four-tenths pounds a
gallon, and It ie so expressed in the tariffs. Every
refiner in the United States makes interstate ship
ments under these conditions. An exception, how
ever to this general rule was made by the roads
running out of Kansas. ... On the theory that
crude oil was not Included in the general average
of six and four-tenths pounds, the Kansas rail
roads applied a weight of seven and four-tenths
pounds to crude oil. The Standard Oil Company,
as explained to Mr. Garfleld, objected to the ad
vanced weight en crude oil. but Its objection was
unheeded by the railroads, and yet, notwithstand
ing the foregoing explanation, the commissioner
includes the Kansas weight rule In the list of
things making for favoritism from the railroads
to the Standard Oil Company.
In California the commissioner charges that re
bates as well as discriminations by secret rates
have been given on oil. This refers to state rates
not within the Jurisdiction of the federal authori
ties. Here it is no question of the Standard Oil
Company alone, but of many producers and con
sumers of oil. y \iy~~- '],
There is no law in California requiring- the rail
roads to file tariffs. When, therefore, the problem
was presented of hauling a new and large produc
tion of oil. used to a large extent for fuel, they
quoted rates to shippers according to the condi
tions existing from time to time. . . . There
was not the slightest favoritism shown the Stand
ard. . . . Mr. Garfield mentions certain Cali
fornia state rates used "In connection with inter
state shipments." In reply it may be said that
where the state rates were used from any point in
California in connection with interstate rates frcm
some other point In California to a point in Ari
zona It was necessary, because no through rates
were In force from the point of shipment to desti
nation. ... w
The large Bums >f money which Mr. Garfleld
sets down as one year's "savings" to the Standard
through the operation of certain freight rates
sums which the President aggregates as 1750,000
could only have been arrived at by theorizing.
If the claim of Commissioner Garfleld waa true
that the Standard Is favored by open rates, It
would Involve not only collusion between the rail
roads and the Standard Oil Company, but collusion
by the railroads with each other. It would also
invol\-e the consent of a railroad not reaching
Whiting. Ind., for example, to the establishment of
rates out of that point which would be Injurious
to business out of another point at which the con
senting railroad wa* receiving traffic. To bring
about such an arrangement would be impossible.
After an investigation of shipments during a
period of about fifteen years over more than two
hundred thousand miles of railway the commis
sioner is not able to show that the Standard Oil
Company received a, single rebate on its interstate
shipments. He has only been able to call atten
tion to a few instances In which the rate situa
tion In his opinion required explanation. This ex
planation was freely given, and. we believe, would
be satisfactory to any mar. familiar with trans
portation problems. ;
