TRUST INVESTIGATION RESUMED.
A MONTREAL OIL DEALER ON THE STAND
ARD COMPANYs OPERATIONS

Washington. Nov. 1o-The Industrial Commission
this afternoon listened to the testimony OF Andrew
b Gall OF Montreal. dealer In petroleum prouucts'
Mr. Calls statement dealt almost entirely %th the
OPERATIONS OF the Standard OIL Company In Canada
He said that the company has a monopoly OF inc
oil refining business In the Dominion and that II Is
impossIble TO purchase from II unless the purchaser
agrees TO buy all his goods from the Stanoaro re-
hners. He complained especially OF the 1re'sh'
rates which, he said. are extremely discrimnatVe
against American oils lie gave Instances In when
only u cents a hundred was charged on Canadian
oil from Montreal to st. Johns whereas "A cents
was charged on the American product. The through
rate on oil from American points had also been al
most doubled in the last year. the entire increase
being on the Canadian end Of the roads. He also
said the present duty on American oil imported
into Canada cents a gallon. He hoped. how
ever. that this duty would be lowered. Mr. Gall
also said the Standard people were In the habit
of sending men into the yards OF opposition COM
panies and taking out samples.
Then the Standard OIL Company practically runs
your country-its railroads and It's Government"
suggested Mr.. Livingston.
1T certainly controls roads," replied the wilt
ness, but would not say much concerning the
Government"
He was satisfied that the policy OF the railroads
not the result of policy OF retaliation on the
part of the Canadian Government against the
United States.
He said that there were nine refneries In Canada
before the combination effected, but that most
OF them had been demolished One owner OF re-
fnery had told him that he had received se5,"o
for a plant that was not worth more than $4,000
This consolidation had been effected In 1898. and
since then the price OF oil haa advanced tro M
the Standard Company received rebates from the
railroads, but did have proof that such was
the case. He thought the company had made I'M
mense profits in Canada within the last three
months and said the Standard people preferred
handling the Canadian product there because 1t
was more profitable than the American.
The Commission spent the forenoon In executive
session considering a statement which George Rice
OF Ohio had submitted at the request Of the Com
mission forecastng what he expected TO say on
the stand. This statement. 1t is said was severe
in its reflections railroads. the Standard OIL Com
pany the Interstate Commerce Commission, and
also on other Government officials. The Commits
sion finally directed Mr.. Rice to eliminate certain
portions OF his testimony. and he probably will go
the stand tomorrow.
