An important meeting of the Com
mercial club directors was held this
morning in the club rooms. The prin-
c'pal matter under discussion was
the question of relieving the fuel and
food shortage sufferers in the north
ern half Of the state. The advisable
ity Of asking the Great Northern to
run special trains out of this city to
the north and northwest with necessi-
ties of life for the sufferers in those
sections of the state was taken up
resulting finally in the appointment
OF a committee to go to the officials
OF the road to see what can be done
along this line. The present time is
one most crucial in the history of
the state. as continued storms will
mean heavy loss of life. In any case
the people should be placed beyond
the pale of danger.
The directors also preached the
Commercial club secretaryship but
reached no definite decision. A COM
mittee was selected to carry the mat
ter to its final conclusion.

STANDARD OIL
DENIES GUILT
Issues Pamphlet Declaring Trial
Judge Unfair-Socialistic Out
cry Blamed.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The d.
rectors of the Standard Oil company
have issued pamphlet to the en-
ployes and stockholders of the COM
pany relative to the fine of 1920
900 imposed on the Indiana corpora
ton.
A noteworthy feature of the PAM
phlet is the company's declaration of
absolute innocence as to any wrong
doing in the cases lately instituted
against it. and particularly SO in the
Chicago & Alton case.
| If the fine of $29, 100000 in the
| Alton case is allowed to stand, the
company says, it will be compelled
to pay fifty times the value of every
carload of oil carried over the Alton
road in two years at an open scent
rate. rate used over three COM
Ipeting railroads for ten or fourteen
years.
The trial Judge; the pamphlet says
refused to allow proof that the g.
| cent rate was a legal rate The
| judge insisted that Is cents was the
| only legal rate for oil. Nobody had
| ever paid Is cents, and it was sworn
that this rate did not apply to oil.
ITO higher conrts,' the pamphlet
| continues, we must look for that
calm judgment which will rescue the
rights of citizens from the field of
public clamor and from the domain
of vindictive politics
| So persistent and adroit has the
warfare been waged, with the over
| powering authority of the federal
administration, against the Standard
| Oil company that it has been difficult
, to get "a fair hearing before the pub
| lie or in a large part of the press,
| the latter being swayed alike by the
socalistic cutlery from below and
the political pressure from above.
