ARRAIeNs STANDARD OIL.
Interstate Commerce Commissions
Report to Congress.

Washington.-The Interstate Com
merce Commission sent to Congress a
report of the Investigations made by
1t under the Tillman-Gillespie resolu-
tions concerning the relations of COM
mon carriers by rail to the produc-
ton and distribution of oil. The re-
port covers the distribution of petro-
leum and its products east of the Mis-
sissippi river, and, incidentally, the
Kansas and Texas fields.
In its report the commission says
"The Standard Oil Company largely
monopolizes the handling of petroleum
from the mouth of the well until it is
sold to the retailer, and sometimes to
the consumer, and, under ordinary cir
cumstances, its margin of profit is
very large.
"The ruin of it's competitors has
been distinct part of the policy of
the Standard Oil Company in the past,
Systematically and persistently pur-
sued.
when competition was destroyed
It advanced or restored former prices.
The Standard has sold different grades
of oil at different prices from the same
barrel. 1t Las paid employees of indie
pendent oil companies for information
as to the business of those competi-
torS, ana mas pald employees Oh lnuuS-
trial companies to secure the adoption
of its oil in preference of that of its
competitors. 1t has followed every
barrel of independent oil to destina

has tampered with the oil inspectors
of different states.
"The Standard buys advertising

fills, not with advertisements, but
with reading matter. prepared by
agents kept for that purpose, and paid
for at advertising rates, as ordinary
news. The assumption is that this
literature furnishes many of the ideas
touching the great benefits conferred
upon the public by the Standard Oil
Company.
1.-The evidence shows little basis for
the contention that the enormous divi-
dends of the Standard Oil Company
are the legitimate result of its econom-
les. Except for its pipe lines, the
Standard has but little legitimate ad-

CHILD LABOR LAW.
Occasions Lively Discussion in United
States Senate.

Washington. - Senator Beveridge
Monday resumed his speech in behalf
of the measure prohibiting interstate
commerce in articles which are the
product of child labor. Mr.. Beveridge
stated that three-fourths of the cotton
factories of the South were opposing
the bill, that the railroads of the
South were opposing it and that the
coal mine operators of the South were
opposing it. He said he would set
forth evidence of these conditions in
the form of affidavits.
Senator Tillman acknowledged the
great evil of child labor in his state,
but he believed the question one for
state rather than federal control. Add
ing to the difficulty in his state, he
said, was the northern millionaire,
who invested his money in cotton mills
and then influenced the Legislature
against child labor laws.
THE senator is to a certain extent
right" interrupted Senator Gallinger.
There is northern money in South
Carolina and God help South Carolina
If there was nos northern money
there"
