NEW YORK. October 3-That the
Galena Signal Oil Company, a sub
ssldiary OF the Standard OIL Company,
controls % per cent. of the lubrica-
ting oil business with the railroads of
the United States. and that the prices
for It's products are not uniform with
all railroads was written in the re-
cords Of, to-day,s hearing of the
Federal suit. against the social led Oil
Trust. c. C. Steinbrenner, an ac-
5countant for the Galena Company. told
in detail how contracts were made
with railroads whereby they were
guaranteed a maximum cost for the lu-
brication Of the road, based on mileage
for engines and cars, and when the
maximum cost was found at the end
of certain periods to fall short of the
standard invoiced price which all rail-
roads paid when they received the oil,
the Galena Company made refund
of the difference.
From statements complied from the
Galena Company's books, Mr.. Kellogg
was able to- show that in some cases
the amount of the refund was nearly
SO per cent. Of the invoice price. Mr.
Stelnbrenners testified that the lubrl-
eating oil furnished to the Pennsyl-
