when the time came to buy they re
graded the same oil in a lower classifi.
cation. There we're other ipiustices
that aroused intense Indignation
tion among the producers, but the
worst blow was yet to fall. AS snon
as the Standard had completed Its
conduits it could transport its oil
Without shipping by rail. This the
independent dealer could not do. 1t
was then that the railways advanced
the rates from 10 cents to II cents per
100 pounds. In addition to this, the
railways arbitrarily ruled that a gal
lon should be held to u instead OF
4 pounds. The effect was to rais> the
cost OF shipping Car of oil to Kansas
City and o hcr river markets from S45
to S9S. The further effect was to
prevent the producers from shipping
their oil and they were compelled to
accept Standard Oil prices at the
wells. The most remarkable fact in
this connection is that the four rail
ways involved, the Santa Fe, the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Frisco aad the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, absolutely
went out Of the lucrative business OF
transporting oil and they did this
simply because the Standard had SO
commanded.
Speaking to this correspondent, ].
M. Parker, secretary OF the State Oil
Producers association. said; III the
railways would give us the original
rate Of 10 cents per 100 pounds, or s45
a car, we could ship all of our oil to
Kansas City and other points and it
would give us 81 per barrel at the
well. 1t would give the railways 100
carloads of freight every day. But
the Standard Oil company tells the
railroads to dcsist from hauling any
oil whatever, and by an exorbitant
rate forcing us to sell to the Stand
ard, the only market In the fields, at
price Of ~ cents barrel. which,
under the compulsory rates demanded
from the railways by the trust, nets
the producer cents more than If he
had used the railways"
Mr.. Gallagher adds: "While the
men who are attacking Standard Oil
realize the great pewer OF this corpo-
ration they express confidence that
Kansas will yet be able to gain the
mastery
