Mr.. Davis said that tho Standard
company had been able to come into the
control OF most OF the producing area
and this was accomplished through CO.
operating companies. He said that as a

pany to charge up It's losses of oil by
fire. leakage. etc. in any given district
to the purchasers In that district, dis
t,lbut,ng the loss among them, He also
said that the Standard company had
such close relations with the railroad
companies and so completely controlled
the markets as To rondor II almost i'm
practicable for any other refiner to en-
ter upon the manufacture OF such bip
products as lubricatiuR oil.
