report of Commissioner OF Corpora
tions Garfield regarding the Stand
ard Oil company and its relations with
railways of which a synopsis was sent
10 congress May 4, was made public
today. 1t was delivered to congress
with formal letter of transmittal
from the president without comment.
The document consists of 500 print
ed pages-about a quarter OF a mil
lion words-and presents in detail
evidence of rebat1ng and secret rat
ing by which, among otner means,
the Standard Oil company was en-
abled TO crush competition and pile

iginal summary. II takes up every
point they make and presents addi-
tional evidence tending to make the
case against the Standard even
stronger than originally.
