Commissioner Garfield Touches
Up the Standard Oil Company

| Washington. Dec 10.-The annual
report of Commissioner Of Corpora-
tions James r. Garfield, made public
today devotes special attention to the
investigations of the transportation Of
oil and the operations of the Standard
| Oil Co.
During the investigation of the oil
industry" says the report, 'it was dis
covered that very widespread system
of railway determinations existed in
favor of the Standard Oil Co., affect
ing very large proportion of the
country and resulting substantially in
giving to the Standard Oil Co. an over
whelming advantage in transportation
in almost all sections of the country,
that this SYSTEM had been in existence
for number of years, and that largely
by virtue of 1t the Standard had been
able to restrict or eliminate competi-
tion throughout many parts of the
country and thereafter reap the bene-.
fits of monopoly. These railway dis
ordinations took various forms, often
very ingenious in their nature, and so
skillfully concealed their existence was
very rarely suspected even by the active
competitors Of the Standard, although
such competitors knew that in general
they We're doing business at a disad-
vantage.
"A most striking and important re-
suit Immediately followed the investi-
cation of the bureau: the railroads
cancelled substantially all the secret
rates. illegal or improper discrimina-
tions, and in many cases the discrimi-
nations in open rates. The shippers
of oil advise the bureau that for the
first time in many years they are now
rapidly obtaining equality Of treatment
from the transportation companies.
Work on the other phases of the oil
industry and the Investigations OF the
tobacco, steel, sugar, and coal indus
tries are well advanced; special reports
thereon will be made in due course.
An inquiry into canal and water trans
portation has been started,
Commissioners Garfield urges again
the necessity for the establishment of
federal inspection and supervision Of
the greater industrial corporations en-
gagged in interstate and foreign COM
merce He says 1T will not interfere
with the power and authority Of the
states over the corporations created
under state law, and Is not an invas-
ion of private rights. but merely will |
restore individual responsibility and
prevent the corporations from being
the hiding place Of the irresponsible, |
