THE GIANT MONOPOLY.
INTERESTING TESTIMONY BEFORE
THE MANUFACTURES COMMITTEE.

How the Standard OH Company Was En-,
abled by Freight Determinations Go
Squeeze Its Opponents - City Oficials
Under Monetary Influence.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Harlow Dow,
Of Memphis, testified before the house
manufactures committee that he was a
dealer in oil for persons in opposition to
the Standard company. He stated that
he was forced topay the Chesapeake, Ohio
and Southwestern railroad irst-class
rates on every barrel of oil shipped in
less than car load lots. The Standard
company was charged only foulth-class
rates. Witness complained of this to
the road, but received nc redress, There
had been scarcely any change since the
passage of the Interstate commerce law.
The roads-the Illinois Central, Louis
vile and Nashville, and the Chesapeake,
Ohio and Southwestern-stin practiced
determinations against the opponents of
the Standard Oil company.
C. b. Matthews, of Buffalo, said he
was in opposition to the Standard; that
his refinery had made about z, 900 barrels
per week, and went on to show how the
business had been ruined by the methods
of the Standard. Witness said he had
been a party to the criminal prosecution
of Messrs. Archibald, Rogers, McGregor
and the Everest Bros, five officers of the
Standard Oil company, for conspiring to
destroy the business of Witness company
by bribing an employe to blow up the
stills, etc. The Everest Bros. had been
convicted a year ago, and were now
awaiting sentence. Witness said the
Standard company vas interested in the
Colgate Soap company and the Chesa-
brough company, the manufacturers of
yaselfne. His company had tried to get
the franchise for supplying natural gas
ia Buffalo, but it was secured by the
Standard, who had a great influence
with the city officers. He was told that
his company would have to pay $50, 600
for the franchise. The Buffalo authori-
ties were under a monetary influence.
Malcom Lloyd, of Philadelphia, who
last week testified that he had received
rebates on oil shipments from the Penn
sylvania railroad, WAS recalled and said
he would ask to be excused from giving
the amounts of rebates; that he consid-
cred this purely private, and the infor-
nation might influence certain suits
which he understood were to be brought
against the railroad company by other
parties. On being pressed by Gowen he
said he would deny the information un-
less forced by the committe.
J. L. Dtckey, of the Western and At
lanta road, running between Chattanooga
and Atlanta, was put on the witness
stand and stated that his road had given
Mr.. Rea a rate of S35 per car on barreled
oil from Chattanooga to Atlanta as part
OF a through rate, but that under an
agreement with other lines he was
Obliged to return to the regular pub
lished agreed rates of $50 per car, At
that time the Standard Oil company got
O rate Of s22. so per car on tank cars, but
that was on actual through shipments
from Cincinnati to Atlanta, on which the
road simply got its share OF. through
rates.
