last become so fierce that his house had
been compelled to 20 out of business.
Mr.. Davis was followed by Mr.. T. q.
Westgate, an oil refner at Titusyille,
Pa. Among other companies in which
he is interested is the Pure Oil COM
pany He said that i'll both New York
and Philadelphia the Standard COM
pany mad reduced the price of oil imme-
diately upon his company entering the
field, and that owing to this reduction
oils We're now Icing sold i'll both mar
kets at prices which render the business
Improbable. Mr.. Davis related some
Of the particulars of his competition
with the Standard company, saying
that the Standard managers kept a
strict account OF all the oil sent out by
rivals. His company was i'll the habit
Of protecting customers where neces-
sary.
His general policy was to try to get
only a small percentage of the business
i'll each place, and he had found that so
long as he pursued this plan prices could
be held up, but that if he endeavored to
increase the quantity prices were imme-
diately reduced with the intention of
driving him out of the field. Mr.. West
gate had no doubt that the Standard
company knew each morning just what
his shipments had been the day before.
He could not say that the railroads sup
piled The information, but he knew that
it did not go from his Own Office. He
also told of instances i'll which the
Standard company had made sefforts to
entice his men from him and also of
threats i'll cases where the competition
was sharper than the Standard COM
pany enjoyed.
Mr.. Westgate said the railroads had
been very careful about giving rebates
since the interstate commerce laws en-
actment, but he was satisfied they
favoredsthe Standard company by un-
derbilling, and he cited instances con-
vincing witness that there was an un-
derstanding between the railroad COM
panies and the Standard, By this and
changes i'll freight rates so as to suit the
purposes of, the Standard and injure its
rivals the field Of Independent opera
tors was being steadily reduced Rail
roads did not seek the trade of the inde-
pendent companies which, if favored as
the Standard was, could prosecute a
fiercer competition.

RAILROADS AID TRUST.
Witnesses SO Charged Before
Industrial Commission.
DAVIS ATTACHED THE STANDARD.
The Ohio Producer and Retiner Made
Some Strong Charges-Oil Refiner West
gate of Titusville, Pa, Told of His Ex-
pcrience In Competing For Business.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Ex-State Sen
ator Theodore L. Davis of Ohio, both Il
producer and a refiner of petroleum,
located ut Marietta, gave testimony be-
fore the industrial commission which
dealt with the operations of the Stand
ard Oil trust and the Argand Oil conf
pany. He complained of the discrimin
ations Of the railroad companies, s'..-ing
that the managers of some of the roads
We're interested i'll rival companies and
the other companies We're So favored
that his company had been compelled to
| suspend business. This discrimination
was also practi"ed by the pipe lines
against producers VINO did not control
these lines. In such cases they We're
also unable Ia secure falr rates from rail
roads, forcing the conclusion that the
railroad companies were concerned for
the success of pipe lines.
MT. Davis s;lld Iii;;:t the Standard COM
pany had been able to come into the con-
troll OF most of the producing area and this
was accomplished through cooperating
companies. He said that as refner he
had purchased conside. lie oil from the
Standard company ana that it was the
custom Of tile Standard company. 10
charge up its losses of oil by fire, leak
age, etc, III any given district to the
purchasers Ill that district, distributing
the loss among them. He also said that
the Standard company had such close
relations with the railroad companies
and 50 completely controlled the mar
kets as to render it almost impracticable
for any other Iefiner to enter upon the
manufacture of such bi-products as
lnb icatiHg oil.
! lie stated that on one occasion Il ship
ping clerk OF his firm had been ap-
p:odched by the Standard company and
offered money for information as to The
b.:siness OF the concern. This scheme
had failed, owing to the fidelity of the
| clerk, but the firm became satisfied
that the Standard company had i'll
formation of every barrel shipped by
! his house.
Every shipment was followed up and
the conslgnees approached with offers
of oil at lower rates. The competitors
also resorted to duplicating his brands
and sending out under them inferior
articles of oil. The competition had at

j he magnl11cent %NlNaf OF true De-
mOcracy. which gave birth TO the
Chicago platform. must be contlnu-
ed. The working masses will sup
port the Democratic party in fight
against trusts, franchise steals and
special privileges. They will sup
port the Democratic party in fight
against militarism and world con-
quest. But the day has gone by
when they will blindly support and
yield allegiance to leaders whom
they cannot trust. 1t would seem
as though opposition to bossism was
useless judging by the result of the
recent Republican convention, but
that convention did not in any sense
represent the people; least of all
wage working people.
In the Summit County Republican
convention representative laboring
men who We're named to go as dele
gates to the State convention We're
simply ignored and ground up by the
Machine. The Republican party has
no use for the labor element except
on election day to have them march
up to the polls. like regular soldiers,
stepping to the music of Hanna's
band, to put in their little vote for
your Uncle Marks choice. This is
the simple truth which all the pratt
tie about prosperity and protection
to working men cannot hide. The
! hrazen cheek of the Hanna-Cox gang
in putting an antitrust plank
in their platform can only
be compared to that of a foot-pad
who would offer TO escort one through
dark alley. The remark of Mayor
Jones of Toledo. when asked wheth-
er he would run independently for
Governor, Il might. some time. if
there was occasion. ] don't see the
occasion for it right away"-simply
means that if the Democratic party
fails in its duty as to candidates and
platform, the occasion will have
come. The Democratic party is
solemnly pledged and ii is being led
by men who will carry out the
pledges. Let no man be nominated
for Governor who must be adjusted
to the platform; no man for Attor-
ney General who is an ingram cor
poration advocate, and no man for
Supreme Court Judge who believes
only in government by Injunction" :"
Labor's demands are not unreason-
able. The abolition of the prison
contract system, for instance. The
passage and enforcement, where they
now exist, of eight-hour laws for all
persons engaged on public work done
directly or by contractors and sub
contractors, would only be giving
equal rights to all public employees,
for what official or even clerk is re-
quired to work more than eight
hours? Public ownership of public
utilities has already been advocated
in part by the Democratic party.
The Initiative and Referendum was
demanded by the last State conven-
tion of the Democrats of Ohio. La
Dor has been pegging away at thest
things in an impractical way for
years and though 1.-the constant
dropping of water will wear away
the hardest stone;" it will take
sledge-hammer blows to batter down
the rocks of bossism. 0. s.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
On the Duty of the Democratic Convention
No Bossism.
No B0ssism.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
The attitude of the Democratic
party, as shown by its latest declar-
alton of principles. the Chicago
platform. is very fair to labor, both
organized and unorganized. That
platform demands the passage of
''such laws as may be necessary to
protect labor in all its rights. SpecI-
fically, it demands the passage OF a
law to secure arbitration of differ
ences between employers engaged in
interstate commerce and their en-
ployes. 1t denounces government
by injunction as new and highly
dangerous form of oppression by
which federal judges, in contempt of
the laws of states and the rights of
citizens, become at once Legislators,
Judges and executioners." And 1t
approves Legislation providing for
trials by jury in certain cases of con-
tempt.
|, Relying upon that declaration of
the Democratic party, viz. I'VE de-
mand the passage of such laws as
may be necessary to protect labor in
all its rights" labor has right to
ask and to expect that specific de-
mands for such legislation as labor
through its organizations desires
will be Incorporated in future Demo-
cratic platforms. And labor has
moreover right to ask and to e1-
pect that laboring men, who have a
real and sincere sympathy excited by
practical knowledge of the condi-
tions of the masses, shall be chosen
in part to carry out the declarations
of the platform. Whatever may be
said of the character of Senator Quay
of Pennsylvania, he told the truth
once when he said that 1.-The people
most deserving of representation and
most in need of legislative protection
are the farmers, the small store
keepers, the artisans and the lab
orers.n
Democrats, if you ardently desire
the carrying out of Democratic
principles, go as the senator says he
does Into the barricades with the
bourgeoise and the men in blouses.
Consult with them, place upon them
a part of the burden and responsible
ity of government, and you will have
"a government of the people, by the
people and for the people, in fact as
well as in name. Labor has surely
learned the folly of expecting any
legislation, or action to enforce legis-
lation in its interest from the Repub-
ican party. Labor has seen one OF
it's favorite measures (the eight
hour law strangled recently in the
Republican senate; it has seen under
q Republican Administration the
upbuilding and multiplication of
trusts, which play with the
people as cat plays with a
mouse. It sees even now Republi-
can conventions declaring against
trusts but endorsing the Admins
tration and standing by the policies
which built them up.
1t sees a Republican Adninistra-
ton engaging the people in war of
conquest, attempting to commit
them to a policy of imperialism, with
its attendant. evil, militarism, while
claiming monopoly on patriotism.

noNoRs FOR SUMMIT COUNTY.

The announcement is made in our
news columns to-day that Akron s
distinguished lawyer and citizen,
Hon. c. R. Grant, will be candi-
date before the Democratic State
Convention for the nomination for
Justice of the Supreme Court.
For several months Judge Grant
has been urged by his friends here
and elsewhere throughout the State
to allow his name to go before the
convention. 1t was understood sew
eral weeks ago that he had yielded
TO the advice of his friends, but the
first public announcement of his can
didacy was made today.
Several days ago a local paper an
nounced that Mayor w. E. Young
would be candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Attorney Gem
eral. In an interview, published
elsewhere, the Mayor defines his
position in the matter.
OF course Summit county cannot
get two places upon the State ticket.
The DEMOCRAT is satisfied, from its
interview with Mayor Young, that
he is not an avowed candidate for
Attorney General and will not oppose
Judge Grant in obtaining the
honor of a nomination for Supreme
Judge.
