Does Business With Rail-
roads is Revealed.

Exacts Higher Price for Lubricating
Oil Than Other Company is
Willing to Sell For. !

New York, Oct THE difficulties of
the New York Lubricating Oil company
in its fight with the Standard Oil for
the business of lubricating the rail-
roads of the country received an airing
today when Philip Harrison, president
Of the former company, was on the
stand in the governments suit against
the Standard. He said his company
contracted with the Louisville & Nash
vile road to supply its lubricating oil
in 1905, but when the contract expired
President Smith of that road refused TO
renew it or give a reason.
Other Companies. Too.
Mr.. Kellogg then placed in evidence
the statement of the Galena Signal Oil
company a subsidiary of the Standard
company, saying the l.. & n. made a
contract with this company for oil at
higher price than was paid the New
York concern. 1t was intimated the
road was forced to make a contract be-
cause the Standard was shipping much
oil over that line Mr. Harrison told of
similar experiences with the Central of
Georgia company.

dent when the Hartweg came near. but
