WILLING TO ARBITRATE

New York. Jan. 3.-COpies of tele-
grams between J. ]. Hannahan, grand
master of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Z. II. Hartman. in
reference to the strike of the fireme /
on the Atlantic system Of the Southern
Pacific company were given out today.
Mr.. Hannahan on January 1st. sus-
gested on arbitration of difficulties. but
he said that the firemen would insist
that third party should not be per-
mitted to influence of the company.
Mr.. Hannahan made reference to the
possibility Of an extension of the strike
to other parts of the Hartman system.
Mr.. Hartman in reply said the compa-
ny was not affected by outside influ-
ence in dealing with the firemen and
was willing to arbitrate but could no.
restore conditions existing prior to
May 1st without violating the agree
ment with the engineers.
Arbitration that does not settle the
relations between the engineers and

THE STANDARD OIL
MUST SlAN0 TRIAL
Charged With Profiting by Rebates.
Six or Eight Indictments Found
Intact.

Chicago, Jan. 3-Judge Lands, in the
United States district court here, today
overruled the demurrer of the Standard
Oil company to eight indictments pend
ing against that corporation. but sus-
tained the demurrer as to two other in
dictments because of technical defects.
These indictments" said the court.
"are for the alleged violation of sec
tion l of an act approved in 1905,
known as the Elkins law. The charge
is that the defendant obtained trans
portation for its property from var
ious railroad companies at rates less
than those named in the carriers pub
lished schedules"
The court overruled the defendants
contention that the Elkins law was en-
acted really to prohibit the employment
OF indirect methods to obtain prefer
ential rates. 1t was defendants con-
tention that it was not a violation OF
the law if the railway company, deal
ing directly with the shipper, cut a
rate.
The court overruled the defendants
claims that the provision OF the Elkins
law requiring the shippers to adhere to
published rates was void. as being
against the provision of the Interstate
commerce law which required carriers
to transport property for a reasonable
rate. All other contentious of the
Standards attorneys was denied.
