STANDARD OIL PIRACY
EXPOSED AT TRIAL

CLEVELAND, March est was
great game of commercial piracy
in the old days when the Standard
Oil buccaneers were unhampered
by antitrust laws and flew the
black flag of competition crushing
with impunity.
The story told by Lewis Emery
jr., of Bradford, Pa, in the Stan
dard Oil Co. inquiry before Com
missioner Franklin Ferris in the
United States circuit court fairly
made the. spectators sit up and
gasp.
Emery is an Independent oil OPP
orator. He has fought the Standard
for more than 80 years. The trust
forced him to sell two refineries
at ia sacrifice and almost captured
his pipe line. For months the rival
forces faced each other in camp
and slept on their arms.
His first refinery was in Oil City
Pa. Then there were about rs oil
refineries In Erie, and 60 in Pitts
burg. All were Independent. Then
the trust got busy, effected an
agreement with the railroads, and
rates Immediately went up so pei
cent. The small concerns were
forced to the wall.
The trust plan was to buy UP
these weakened plants and disman
tie them. The Emery plant at Oil
City was the last to surrender. The
trust finally bought 1t at bargain
in 1876. In 1879 he built a refinery
in Philadelphia. Crude oil was
bought from the New York fields
the National Transit Co, a trust
concern, and some came from his
own wells in private pipe line.
The National Transit Co.'S supply
became SO poor that he Cancelled
his contract Then the railroads
failed to deliver promptly. Cars
were delayed a month in transit
Finally no cars could be obtained
The pipe line supply was made
quate, and in 1887 the plant. which
cost $3.50 900, was sold to the Stan
dard for s275,000.
Then the independents built a
line to Pittsburg. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Co. refused to let 1t cross
its right of way. In the end the
Standard gobbled this also.
Later Emery built his refinery a,
Bradford. TO insure an oil supply
and for an outlet to the coast, he
built the United States Pipe Line
Co.'S line. There was long fight

Team WORK Between

said that IL the Main av. clothiers
fail to prosecute, they will be tax

He admitted, however, that yes
terday the cases were postponed
until April Is on the receipt of in
formation that the city council was
going to repeal the closing ordi-
nance. In the event this Is done
costs will be footed by the city.
However, this will have nothing
to do with the prosecution of the
state cases against theater men,

| Again he won in the courts. Stan
dard agents bought strips of land
across the route of the line and de-
layed the work. At Hancock, N.
Y, they were prevented from cross.
ing the Delaware river A trainload
of armed men and two train
wreckers prevented the laying OF
the line under the Erie tracks. For
three months the armed forces lay
In camp and occasionally clashed.
The men had two brass cannons
with which to shoot holes in the
pipe. A change of route gave them
outlet
For six months the forces fought
at Washington, N. j., where EN-
cry sought to cross the Lackawan-
ma tracks. Many heads were broken
and a force of militia was sent to
the scene. The Standard forces
hurled hot Goals and hot water on
the independent workmen, but
we're routed when it came to actual
blows.
Finally Emery reached the At
lantic coast, but the Standard went
into the New Jersey courts, with
the result that the lines had to be
! removed from that state within six
! months. The line was built then
into Philadelphia. Three indepen-
dent refineries were being furnish
ed crude oil by this pipe line, but
the trust bought them out.
Then a market for the oil was
found in Germany. Emery built
$4,000 worth Of tanks in Hamburg.
The trust cut oil prices in Ham
burg territory, but Emery went di-
| rect to the German government
and the lid was put on the trust

special Correspondence to The Pres

special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-An
interesting feature of Campaign
Manager Hitchcock's statement
that Taft was certain of 552 votes
at the Chicago convention, was the
fact that he did not include in this
claim the state of Alabama, Geor-
gia and South Carolina.
Taft's opponents have contended
right along that he was depending
upon the south to nominate him.
They have raised a row over the
activity of federal Office holders,
and have declared that If the South
should nominate Taft 1t might
cause the Republicans to lose the
election. Now it appears from
Hitchcock's statement. that he is
not depending much on the South.
On this showing Taft requires the
vote of only few southern states,
together with his following in other
parts of the country to insure his
election.
In emitting these states from his
list Hitchcock of course did not
conceie them to the presidential
combine. He simply admitted them
to be doubtful and the fight for
their control will continue to the
end.
Alabama is doubtful because
there are two republican organiza-
tons there. The opposition to Taft
appears to have an advantage be-
cause of the fact that they have
been recognized by the state cleo
ton officials as the legal republican
party. Georgia and South Carolina
