JAS. X. G<ARtlElD IL ton of the inter
state commerce law, and others, whether
technically Illegal or not, had the same
effect on competitors. On some State
business secret rates were applied by

ingeniously applied to new conditions of
trade and so large in amount as to make
it certain that they were due to concert

The Standard Oil Company gets secret

Published tariffs from y to 2715 cents
lower from Standard refineries than from
those of the independents.
Oil is from to . cents a gallon higher

Points from RoOsevelt,s Message.

S@A'S AAOAAA GOOOSGN6lL MeSSaGe.
President Roosevelts recommendations
to Congress, based on the Garfield oil re.
port, are, in brief, as follows:
A law should be passed regarding oil sim
mar TO that putting alcohol used ia arts
ana manufactures on the free list
Fee to oil or coal lands held by the gov
eminent should be kept by the govern
ment.
Railroads should be permitted to unite for
protection to themselves and the public as
against the power of great corporations
Examiners under the direction of the in
terstate commerce commission should ex-
anime the affairs of a railroad as thoroughly
as bank examiners investigate banks
The commission should have affirmative
power making its decisions take effect at
once, subject only to such action by the
court as is demanded by the constitution"
The proper play for individual initiative
can only be secured by such government
supervision as will curb these monopolies
which crush out all individual initiative"
Commissioner Garfied's report finds that
both secret and open rebates to the Stand.
ard OIL Company have existed all over the
country. The determinations by secret tar
IFS alone have aggregated ST50,000 year.

Their Services Under a New
Agreement.

Members of the Plumbers union say the
figures given as to Increased wnges de-

inally asked for only 90 cents an hour or
$3.50 day. They are now receiving 20
cents an hour or. 81 day They say en-
ployers offered to Compromise at 56h cents
an hour or $3.50. instead of $3.50 as cited,
provided they were allowed to hire and
use apprentices as they desired, but this
was rejected by the conference committee
of the union. The matter now is in statu
quo but both sides are hopeful of reaching
an amicable settlement before May l. The
union men say they would not be satisfied
with $3.50 a day, because three years ago
they were entitled to a raise which they
didn't get. Now they think they should
receive this increase with more add ed.
There is said to be no contention over the
open shop. The last agreement, which
expired year ago, permits the boss
plumbers to hire whom they please regard
less of union Affiliations and the plumbers
profess to be willing to continue this ar
rangement.
