Injury to Independent Shippers.
Great injury has been inflicted by rail-
roads upon Independent shippers through
determinations in the distribution of tank
cars.
c) Open published rates from Whiting
into a large part of the United States have
given the Standard Oh Company an unfair
advantage OF from l to II cents per hun
dred pounds.
This discriminatory seriously limits indie
pendent refiners In some markets and shuts
them out completely from other markets.
1t is accomplished by the use OF commodity
rates-that is, rates which apply only to
pe troieum and its products-and by refusal
to prorate

making Is to more nearly equaIize COM

Summary of Report,

Explaining more in detail the results of
his investigation, Mr.. Garfield says:
1.-THE general result of the investigation
has been to disclose the existence of nu-
merous and fragrant determinations by the
railroads in behalf of the Standaa I'd OIL
Company and its affiliated corporations.
With comparatively few exceptions, mainly
of other large concerns in California, the
Standard has been the sole beneficiary of
such Determinations. In almost every sec
ton of the country that company has been
found to enjoy some unfair advantages over
its competitors, and some of the discrimina-
lions affect enormous areas.
DETERMINATIONS in the transportation OF
oil embraces variety of forms. the more
important of which may be classed under
the following heads:
Il. Secret and semi-secret rates
so. Determinations in the open arrange
ment Of rates.
''3. Determinations in classification and
rules of shipment.
II. Determinations in treatment of pri-
vate tank cars
Many of the secret rates discovered by
the bureau or corporations have applied
only shipments of oil wholly within single
states. The Standard OIL Company, which
controls refineries in twelve states, is obyi-
ously in position to make extensive use of
such Interstate rate, or. as they are ordi-
narily designated, state rates.
For the purpose of more effectively con-
cealfng the secret rates given to the Stand
ard Oil Company, railroads in several i'm
portant cases nave used peculiar methods
of billing and accounting
In some cases oil has been blind billed
that is to say, the waybills have been made
out showing as is the usual custom, any
freight rate or the amount Of freight
charges. In such instances the collection
of freight is ordinarily made not by the
local agent of the railroad. but through the
central office. by the presentation to the
Standard of summary bill showing the
amount of freight charges at the secret
rate. Local agents often do not know what
the actual rates used on blind bills are
An especially large number of secret rates
and rebates in the transportation of oil
was found In California. In all more than
eighty distinct violations of tariffs on oil
were discovered in this state. The total
concessions to shippers and consignees I'M
der these rates as compared with the pub
lie tariffs may be safely estimated at about
100000 per year, of which amount about
100000 went to the Standard.
Possibility of Further Discrimination.
