verdict in favor of defendant. Ewing
sued for $1,000 damages, claiming he
was poisoned while in the EMPLOY of
the defendant and engaged in cutting

cutting the weeds. Il
The sensation of the trial was the
testimony Of Ed. LIBBY, for the de-

testimony practically took the bottom

STANDARD OIL COMBINE

dependent oil to its destination Its
agents are instructed to secure custo'
mers at any sacrifice.
1T has tempered with the oil inspec'
tors in different states. The laws OF
several states concerning the inspec'
ton OF oil are singularly defective.
and this has been turned to profit by
the Standard.
1.-THE Standard buys advertising
space in many newspapers which 1t
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.
1T has used such purchased or In
dependentlY organized companies to
kill off oh5petitors by such companies
reducing prices. -
THE operation of such fake indie.
pendent concerns has been one OF its
most effective means Of destroying
competition.
The Standard has hahitually reduced
the price against it's competitors in
d particular locality while maintaining
its prices at other places. When COM
