OPPOSE THIRTY PAYS BILL

In accordance with a recommended

the Commissioners viii report unfav-

il means cl.S10 DAYS in a year. an i'm
crease Of 7,270 days over the time
which may be allowed under the exist
ing law. In order that each man may
get thirty days in a year. without con-
sidering the number OF sick. there
would be a depletion Of the force of
an average OF sixty members or

WANT RATES FIXED ON OIL.
Remedy for Standards Abuses Not
Possible Now, However.

In the opinion Of Congressmen. the
arraignment of the Standard oil Com
pany in the report of the Interstate

tive Of its effect
The report Of Commissioner OF Cor
porations Garfield. -eariy in December,
contained some Of the charges now
hled. and prepared the public mind for
the present disclosures II was his
knowledge of the monopoly held by the
Standard in New England that induced
Senator Lodge TO offer his amendment

Interstate Commerce Commission the
right to prescribe just and reasonable
rates, regulations. and practices. That
is now the law. and it is up TO the In

Practically the only remedy suggest
ell by the commission to uproot exist

the government shall fix. in the first
instance. the rates and regulations for
the transportation Of oil.
This would require additional legis-
Iation, and in the present situation in

advance of from S 10 40 per cent, or an
average OF Is and a fraction.
As ! shall probably be forced TO accept
"a raise in my own salary" said Mr..
