Blow is Aimed at STANDARD
Oil by the Ohio State
Authorities.
PIPE LINE is ATTACKED
Claimed That BY Its Use Company
CompeIs Independents to Sell
to 1t.

Findlay, Ohio. Nov. 23.-Anothel
phase in the Standard Oil fight devel
Oped last evening when Judge Silas e
Hurin granted writ of alternative
mandamus against the Buckeye Pipe
Line company. The action was begun
by Attorney General Ellis to compel
the pipe line company to transport oil
through its pipe lines for every one
and not to discriminate.
The case the state thinks is by far
the most important yet brought against
the Standard Oil trust or the companies
composing the trust. Attorneys for the
state claim that if the Buckeye Pipe
Line company is compelled TO live up
to its charter as common carriers the
big stick of the Standard will be taken
away and its power gone forever.
Compelled to Sell.
BY the use of the Buckeye Pipe Line
company, it is claimed. the Standard
compels nearly every producer to sell
the oil to it. as the Buckeye has the
largest, if not practically the only.
transportation facilities available for
the average producer.
The petition alleges that the Buck
eye company. which is a part of the
Standard Oil trust. charges rate of POI
cents barrel for transportation, but
that the Standard pays nothing the
charges being made at such high rate
as to keep those on the outside from
seeking to run their oil through the
Buckeye pipes.
Traces History.
The petition traces the history of the
Buckeye company since its inception,
in 1886. 1t alleges that its president is
H. II. Rogers of 2G Broadway, New
ork, who also is a trustee in the
