are supposed to have lost their lives,

likely, that some of the remaining en-
tombed miners will be rescued alive.
The explosion was of terrific force,
and shattered glass in windows a mile

Ida M. Tarbell's Summary of Standard
Oil Methods.

Miss Tarbell, whose criminal his
tory Of the Standard Oil company
has been published as serial in
McClure's Magazine, has summar-
lied her conclusions for the Chicago
Examiner and briefly stated, they
are as follows:
l. ] believe that the Standard
Oil Company is today. and that it
has been for thirty years, a con-
spiracy in restraint of trade.
2. I believe that the Standard
Oil Company today levies, and that
it has for thirty years levied, an UNI
just tax on the people of this coun-
try.
3. I believe that the Standard
Oil Company is to day, and that il
has been for thirty years, menace
to the free development of American
commerce
believe that the Standard Oil
Company is conspiracy in re.
straint Of trade, because for thirty
years it has tried stealthily, deliber-
ately and persistently either to ruin
or to force into combination with it.
self every Independent refner who
attempted to make oil. 1t has ac-
complished this.
ITS METHODS.
First. By entering into unjust
contracts with railroads to prevent
Independents from getting the same
rates Of transportation that it en-
joyed.
Second. By preventing indie
pendents from getting the raw
product to refine.
Third. By preventing indepen.
dents from getting cars in which tc
ship oil, either crude or refined.
Fourth. By delaying shipments
if cars were secured.
Fifth. By spying on shipments
tracking them to the buyers and
bribing or frightening them into
countermanding their orders.
Sixth. By waging relentless wal
on persons who dared sell indepen-
dent oil, often selling oil far below
cost until opponents were ruined
and then putting up prices higher
than ever, making the consumer
pay the cost of its unjust fight.
These charges are all supported
by documents, and they are MOI
matters Of past history.
