d-rd Practically Controlled the Mar
ket for Oil in This Country.
Washington, May 2O.-That the his
tory and present operation of the
Standard Oil interest shows through
out the past thirty-five years a sub
stantial monopolization of the petro-
.leum industry of the country, a DELHI
crate destruction of competition and
a consequent control Of that industry
by less than a dozen men, who have
reaped enormous profits therefrom,"
largely through abuse of transporta-
ton facilities, is charged in report
Just submitted to President Roosevelt
by Commissioner Of Corporations Her
bert Knox Smith. Part l of the re-
port has Just been made public and
other parts will follow. Certain in
formation acquired is withheld for the
present, in accordance with instruc-
lions OF the president who feels that
their publication might interfere with
the prosecution of the governments
suits pending against the Standard
OIL company and its subsidiary COM
pAnies.
The report contains the net results
OF a study Of the petroleum business
during the year 1904. II is the first
orncial statement of the operations and
methods OF the Standard OIL company
by which, the report states, through
SseRndalous railway discrimination"
and other unlawful devices, they have
aecuTed and maintained an exclusive
domination of the petroleum indus
cry"
1t is stated that in 1904 the Stan.
dEfd and affiliated concerns, refined
over "a per cent OF the crude oil run
through refineries produced more
than So per cent of the country's total
output Of illuminating oil; maintained
= similar proportion Of the export
trade in Illuminating Oil; and trans
ported through pipelines nearly nine
tenths OF the crude oil Of the older
helds and 80 per cent Of the crude oil
d the mid-continent field"
The report points out that the mo-
nopoly enjoyed by the company does
not rest on the ownership of the
source Of the oil supply, which
amounts to about only one-sixth of the
total, but that it's growth and pres
ent power rests primarily on the con-
troll OF the transportation facilities"
After the railroad rebate was aban-
doned the company, the report con-
unues, the company was able to "es-
tablish a system of secret or open dis
examinations of rates in its favor
throughout practically the entire coun-
try. Having established its monop-
oily of the pipeline business, the COM
pany substantially refuses to act as
common carrier" II is shown that
the Standard controls not only the
wholesale, but also the retail trade in
OIL
In conclusion the report says it is
apparent that the dominating position
Of the Standard Oil company in the oil
business has largely been secured by
the abuse of transportation facilities,
hrst. by fragrant Determinations OBJ
tanned from railroads; second, by a
refusal to operate its pipeline system
30 as to extend to Independent inter
ests the benefits to which they were
both morally and legally entitled,
while at the same time the Standard
has prevented such independent inter
eats from constructing lines Of their
own

ASSESSMENT CUT
To Three Per Cent. by International
typographical Union.

The following circular from
headquarters of the International
Typographical union to the mem
bership is self explanatory:
''At the regular daily meeting Of
the executive council, held on
January 2l. 1907, the council after
a thorough canvass of the eight
hour situation as now existing,
reached the conclusion that another
reduction in the assessment is
possible.
Therefore, Beginning with the
week of February 80, 1907, and
thereafter until further notice, the
assessment will be Three per cent
of all moneys earned.
AS to any further reduction in
the assessment, that may not be
possible for some time to come.
Should the book and job business
continue to improve, and the mem
bership generally maintain the ag-
grcssivc label campaign now under
way, thus diverting to union Offices
vast volume of work, then further
reduction i'll, or the wiping out of;
the assessment altogether may be
brought about.
The council is determined, how
ever, to continue an assessment lust
so long as may be necessary to pro
tect our members still on the strike
rolls, or to protect the International
Typographical Union from further
assault from unfair employers, and
also to adequately finance the cam
paiSh that will be continued until
oiiicess now opposing us are in the
eight-hOur cOulmn.
We will not barter our principles
for an eight-hour day. We are
against the open shop.

STILL EATING CROW
Are the P1ute Papers Who Pronounced
Labor's Campaign Failure.

Two years ago there came to Con
SresS from Iowa a young man who.
on his arrival in Washington.
quickly 2llicd himself with the la,
Dor movement. Although elected
as Republican,, where labor was
concerned he WAS its friend, not
withstanding the influences which
surrounded him by those who
sought to antagnonizc the efforts
of organized labor.
His fealty to Columbia Lodge of
MachlnlSts was so pronounced that
the machinistS adopted him as one
OF their own. During the last
campaign strenuous efforts were put
forth by Columbia Lodge in his be-
half. Thousand of pieces of lit
elature Hooded his district. every
labor organization in his district
was appealed to by No. Ia. with
the result that his majority of l2S
of two years ago was increased to
l 900 this year.
Columbia Lodge hasjust received
IL letter from the Hon. Albert Daw-
son, wherein he acknowledged that
