Antimacassars Were Ads.

'"This is an antimacassar," said an
antiquary. cit is hundred years old
and very valuable on account of the
quaint designs of it's embroidery. Some
day shall sell it to a millionaire. Yes,
some day this antimacassar will adorn
a millionaire's parlor, figuring there as
an antique object Of art, and that will
be as though spittoon Of today should
figure as an object of art in some aes-
thetic lady's drawing room in 3OOO."
He laid the antimacassar, a kind Of
tidy, in a sandalwood box. Then he
went on:
'The words derivation shows the
things use - anti, against; macassar,
hair oil. The antimacassar was spread
on chair backs to protect them from
tie oil in peoples hair. Everybody
used Rowlands macassar oil on his
locks in those Gays. The name given
to the tidy, or chair shield, was a free
advertisement for Rowland as excel
lent as it was unique"
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1906-05-11

oil is " cent GAL L. and that the
price of such oil is from 2 to 5 cents
J. gallon higher in non-competitive dis
tricts than in those which are
competitive, which shows, he says,
that the profits are exorbitant in non
competitive fields. The facts, he
says, regarding freight rates have been
obtained by the examination of rail
road records, and that the only road
refusing access to its state business
records is the New York Central He
also says that the Standard Oil stated
at the outset that it was not now, nor
had been in recent years, receiving any
rebates.
Then he asserts that the Standard Oil
'has habitually received from the rail
roads, and is now receiving. secret
rates and other unjust and illegal dis
criminatio TONS" and that during 1904 its
profits were about $75O,OOO from that
source.
Garfield also says that the Standard
Oil is receiving unjust Determinations
in open rates and that ''if an unfair
discrimination be obtained by one ship
per through a device which in itself is
seemingly not prohibited by law that
fact shows that the law is defective
and should be strengthened; it does not
show that the discrimination is proper
or Must"

SOME STATEMENTS OF FACT
Summary of the Cases Where Sinful
ness Is Alleged.

ness Is Alleged.
The following are some of the cases
cited:
For about ten years the New Eng
land territory has been in control Of
the Standard Oil company by reason
Of the refusal of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford road and of the
Boston and Maine road, on all but a
few divisions, to prO-rate-i. e., to jon
in through rateS-On oil shipped from
west of the Hudson river, and by means
of the adjustment of published rates,
These roads pro-rate on all other COM
modjties.
The Standard Oil company has been
able to absolutely control for many
years the sale of oil in the northeas tern
part of New York and in a portion of
Vermont by means of secret rates from
it's refneries at Clean and Rochester.
By unfair manipulation the Standard
gets rates of Is to p cents per 100
pounds, while independents have to pay
from 33 to so cents.
The Standard Oil company has main
tanned absolute control of almost the
whole section of the country south Of
the Ohio river and east of the MisSis-
sippi by means of secret rates and
open determinations in rates from
Whiting, Ind. This is done by means
of d secret combination with the c.. and
e. l., the |. c. and the Southern rail
ways Standard pays 1912 cents per 100
pounds, competitors 471s cents, the pub
lished rate being A cents, to Birmfng-
ham, Ala.
The Standard Oil company has for
at least ten years shipped oil from
Whiting to East st. Louis, ILL.,, at
rate of or 6A cents on three of the
five railroads running between those
places. while the only duly published
rate ON all roads has been Is cents
during all that period.
Garfield then says that "most of the
secret rates, and some of the open dis
examinations discovered by the bureau
were abolished by the railroads short
ly after such discovery" He gives
eight of the most important changes,
uCNittI I1iS liIdC thCy dIC luC ICSulL VI
his investigation, but that the wide
spread dissemination in open rates still
leaves the independent oil men in seri-
GUS disadvantage.
He closes by declaring that if the
rates cited are legal the law is a sham.
He says that one glaring defect in the
law has been shown, and that is the
method of filing and publishing tar
ifs, in that although tariff or rate
has been fled with the commission in
compliance with the terms of the law
none but the favored shipper may know
of its existence, and he recommends
that radical change be made in this
matter

In THE SOFT COAL FIELDS
Herman Justi's View of the Situation
Call on the President.

Chicago, May Z. Herman JUST,
commissioner of the Illinois coal OPP
orators, said after receiving the news
of the settlement of the coal troubles
in the east: Conditions in the east
and the west are very different. The
demands Of the anthracite miners
which have just been abandoned by
them are for things which the miners
in the bituminous fields have been Ell,
joying for a long time. The eastern
miners did not ask for single thing
that the western miners have not al
ready had. The scale of 1903 in the
west means a 5 per cent. increase OF
wages. This cannot be granted out
here, for the reason that there has
been a steady decrease in the selling
price of bituminOuS COAL
The soft coal operators are planning
a campaign to force the president Of
the United States to intervene. A call
has been issued for a convention Of
bitnminous ''stand-pat" operators to
meet here Wednesday. 1t is proposed
to again call on the president to use
his influence to have the bituminous
questions arbitrated, and to this end it
is proposed to try and induce soft coal
consumers to write to the president
urging him to take action in the time
Indicated

A Dogs Yawn.

Did you ever see a dog cape? For
thoroughness and entire absence of af-
fectatiOn and mock sbamefacedness
there is nothing like it. When he gapes
he doesn't screw his face into all sorts
Of unnatural shapes in an endeavor to
keep his mouth shut with his jaws
wide open. Neither does he put his
paw up to his face in an apologize
way while gaping in ambush, as it
were. No. When he gapes he is per
fectly willing that the whole world
shall come to the show. He braces
himself firmly on his fore feet, stretches
out his neck, depresses his head, and
his jaws open with graceful modera-
ton. At first it is but an exaggerated
grin, but when the cape Is apparently
accomplished the dog turns out his
elbows, opens his jaws another forty
five degrees, swallows an imaginary
bone by sudden and convulsive move
ment, curls up his tongue like the petal
Of a tiger lily and shuts his jaws to-
gether with a snap. Then he assumes
a grave and contented visage, as is
eminently becoming to one who has
performed a duty successfully and con-
scientiously.- Weekly.

Reply Of Standard Oil.

New York, May 7.-President Roose-
velt's message and Commissioner Gar
fields report had the unexpected eff
feet of stinging the Standard Oil Of
ficials to a quick and sarcastic reply.
Henry III. Rogers and John d. Arch
bold gave to the public a remarkable
statement, sarcastic in it's reference to
the president and blunt in it's criticism
of Mr.. Garfield. In opening its state
ment the oil magnates say:
lone does not care to handy words
with the president of the United States.
1t is not easy to differentiate between
Mr.. Roosevelt, the president, and Mr..
Roosevelt, the individual. He has given
us his advice most generously on every
subject from the size of our families
to the mistakes of federal judges, and
some error is inevitable now and then
to the most conservative man under
such circumstances
Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Archbold deny
the Standard Oil company has received
or is receiving rebates from the rail
road companies. They say if the rail
roads have violated the interstate COM
MERGE law it is none of Mr.. Garfield
business. They ask why the inter-
state commerce commission has not
prosecuted the violators of the law.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1906-05-11
OTHER SCHEMES UNEARTHED
Refusal to Probate Is One-Argument
for Regulation of Rates.

He says that the refusal of certain
New England railways to pro-rate pro-
duces the same effect of unfair advan-
tage to the Standard and costs New
England consumers 100000 year
more or less, and that similar condi-
tons exist in the west and southwest,
all of which emphasizes the necessity
for the government to attend to the
rate-making itself. Another scheme,
the president says, is to evade the law
by treating as state commerce what is
really Il part OF Interstate commerce,
a device he charges to the New York
Central railway.
The president says that the Standard
Oil company is unfortunately" not the
only great corporation which is profit
ing by unfair methods, and names the
sugar trust us another He then
goes into an argument in favor of rate
legislation, declaring that the only way
to secure Individual Initiative is for
the government to curb mOnOpOlie>,
which crush out the individual. He
says we have unWiSely prohibited the
railways from uniting for proper PUP
poses, and that poWer-to unite to pro-
tect themselves and the public from
the great rpOratiOns-should be Civ,
en- them under government regulation.
He argues that the government
should have rs much control over rail
ways as it has over national banks. and
says that-"It is impossible to work a
material Improvement in conditions
such as abOvedeScribed merely through
the inStrumcntality of a lawsuit. A
lawsuit is often a necessary method:
but by itself it is an utterly inadequate
method. What is needed is the con
ferring upon the commission of ample
affirmative power, so conferred as to
make it's decisions take effect at once
subject only to such action by the
court as is demanded by the constitu-
ton"
He closes with the recommendation
that to supply competition to the
Standard Oil company alcohol to be
used in the arts be made free of duty,
and that the title to Oil and coal lands
in the governments possession now
should be made inalienable

Scranton, Pa, May 7.-Nothing has
developed to disturb the general belief
that a strike of the anthracite mine
workers had been averted. There seems
to be every assurance that the sub
scale committee of the organization.
which went to New York this morning
will be assured by the latter that there
will be no discrimination shown in
case the men are ordered back to
work, and that the term the agreement
is to last will be readily agreed upon.
Miners Give Up the Conflict.
This satisfactory state of affairs is
the result of the advice of John Mitch
ell to the sub-scale committee of the
y. M. W., and of that committee to
the convention held here that the first
proposition made by the OperatOrs-a
continuation of the award Of the an

cept as to the term for which it shall
continue. This is to be mutually
agreed upon Dy The SuD-Scdle commit
tee and the operators. The action Of
the convention was unanimous, and a
request was telegraphed Geo. +. Baer
for a conference, which Baer agreed
to, and suggested this afternoon, at
New York. as the time and place. The
U. M. w. also agreed to this, and

Garfield on the subject of freight III as
in connection with the oil indus r.
President Roosevelt sent message Il
congress which makes divers and s,!!l-
dry charges of law-breaking agai.:: +
the Standard Oil company. and calls
attention to the developments Of the "
port as Being specially important II
view Of the railway rate leg sla+i Il
now before congress. He says that =
'"rhe report shows that the StanGar
Oil company has benefited enormously
up almost to the present moment by Sc
cret rates, many of these secret rat ,
being clearly unlawful. This beneti
amounts to at least three-Quarte:s CT
a million year. This three-quaItcr
OF million represents the profit that
the Standard Oil company obtains at
theeeXpense of the railroads.; but OF
course the ultimate result is that it OIL
tains much larger profit at the eX-
penSe of the public" He adds thu t
most of these rebates have recently
been done away with. which fact he
declares Il confession that they Were
wrong, but were persisted in until eX
posed.
Thepresidcnt promises to have pro G.
cutions instituted, but says it is i'm
pOrtant that Senator Knox's bill to
correct Judge Humphreys interpreter
ton of the immunity law be passed
He then proceeds to say that the Stan :
ard Oil has prOfited immensely by open
rates so arranged as to give that com
pany an overwhelming advantage over
independent competitors. and says it is
mot possible to put into figures the ex-
act amount of the Standards profits
Through the gross favoritism shown
it by the railways in connection with
the open rates.
