missioner r. A. Anthony. This will be
the last hearing conducted In st. Louis
until after the Supreme Court has de-

companies to produce their books or
make their officers testify.
William A. Morgan, former manager
of the Standard Oil Company at Seda-
liza, Missouri, testifying. said that the
Standard OIL Company issued orders
to Its agents to undersell competitors
at all hazards. He asserted that upon
one occasion he was supplied with
false gauges to be used in the attempt
to drive the enemy from the field"
Morgan's testimony created a sensa-
tion and the Standard Oil attorneys of.
Morgan testified that he went into
the employ of the Standard Oil Com.

Soon after he was made resident man

ters at Sedala. In his jurisdiction was
included Randolph, Sheridan, Howard,
Cooper and Benton counties. He was
not permitted to sell oil outside of this
territory.
His reports were sent to G.. w. Mayer

our enemy and destroy our competi-

dered to sell all goods possible--to cut
prices wherever necessary. The Wa
ters-Pierce company sold within eight
cen miles Of Sedalia, and | was not al

Mr.. Morgan was then asked to tell II

by the Standard besides cutting prices
to get business or kill of competition.
He said that the company supplied him
with barrel gauges by which he was
enabled to show that competitor

When Commissioner Garfield went
TO the Chicago packers and asked
permission 10 inspect their books. the
condition was made that no informa.
tion he might obtain therefrom would
be used In court proceedings against

stated. and the packers allowed him

Now, II is announced, the results OF
his study have been turned over TO
the government department Of justice

the packers.
Commissioner Garfield would not

The Journal has no concern for the
packers, except as they are citizens
OF Chicago. II II can be proved that
they are guilty of engaging In . con.
splracy In restraint OF trade. they
ought to be punished.
But their guilt. II they are guilty
