Al the afternoon session Mr.. Monnett said in reply
20 a question from Commissioner Kennedy that he
old not wish to discuss the charge that tho Stand
arr OH Company had been guilty of attempts at
bribery TO prevent judicial investigation. as that
mater was at present under investigation by the
ONO supreme Court. He could however. testify
that the company had secured the services of rail-
road agents all over the country to report the
movements OF rivals and no knew Of one instance
IN which the clerk Of n rival concern had been en-
ployed TO supply the details of his employers oper-
ations to the Standard company. The company
also had It's "buzZards' everywhere. These were
9pponted to follow the wagons of rivals and secure
data, on which the company could operate. When
rivals were driven out OF field by reducing rates
the prices Immediately went up. He did not agree
with the statement that the Standard company
was entitled to credit for the reduction OF the

failed to treat all with equal fairness.
