TRUST AND ROADS
IN PLOT, IS CHARGE
National Petroleum Association Accuses
Standard Oil Company and
Carriers

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 21.--A
series of hearings was begun before the
interstate commerce commission today i'll
volving the freight rates on petroleum
and it's products, particularly in the terri
tory of the Central Freight ASSOCIATION.
The allegation is made by the complain
ants that they are Disseminated against
in rates given them by the carriers i'll
favor of the Standard Oil company. 1t
is further charged that whenever the
railroads come into competition with Wa
ter carriers they give reduced rates, but
if their competitor is a pipe line owned
and controlled by the Standard Oil com
pany the rates are increased to point
where they become unjust and dlscrlml-
natOry.
Case Against Milwaukee Road.
The complainant in each case heard
today was the National Petroleum as
ISOLATION of Cleveland. The cases which
came on for hearing today were against
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railway company and others, alleging I'M
reasonable rates ON petroleum from Chi
cage, Peoria and Milwaukee to st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth. The rate fixed
by the railroads of 20 cents 100 pounds
was declared to be unreasonable and dis
criminatory In another case against the
petroleum of y cents a hundred pounds
from the same points to Omaha, Sioux
City and Sioux Fails also vas attacked.
In the third case, against the Ann Arbor
railroad and about fifty other carrier
lines in the Central Freight association
territory, the allegation made was that
the rates on petroleum were unjust and
discriminatory; that they were merely
arbitrary; that they were unfair and not
uniform: and that they gave an undue
advantage to the Standard Oil company.
Chamberlain Charges Plot
When the cases were called today,
Chairman Knapp and Commissioners
Clements, Prouty,, Cockrill and Lane
were on the bench. In the absence of
President Wall and Traffic Manager
Boltz, of the National Petroleum asso-
citation, it was decided to take up the
Ann Arbo1 railroad case first. &. -.
Chamberlain, secretary and general
counsel of the association, explained the
monopoizat ton of the Ohio and Pennsyl
yania oil business by the Standard Oil
company and declared that the rates
quoted his association by the carriers
showed collision between them and the
Standard Oil company and a determln-
alton to destroy competition
Rail Counsel Astonished
W. J. Calhoun of counsel for the de-
PENDANT lines expressed astonishment at
some of the statements made by Mr..
Chamberlain and asserted that he was
prepared to show that the rates were
fair and just and uniform. That it was
the purpose of the carriers to make the
rates uniform, if in the judgment of the
commission, they were not SO already.
