years ago. we have been prepared at

Mr.. Rockefeller said another risk
was the peculiar construction Of re-
fining machinery, which could be used
for no other purpose. One could never
tell when he would awake and find
the crude oil supply exhausted.
Mr.. Kellogg then asked Mr.. Rookie
Teller about the Standard Oil agree
ment with the Pennsylvania railroad
in 1877, in which the Pennsylvania
agreed to par back 10 per cent Of the
freight rates which the Standard paid.
The witness said this agreement fol
lowed the rate war between the
Northern and the Southern lines, and
that there was an agreement where
by he was to equalize the amount OF
freight distributed between the diff
ferent roads.
Mr.. Kellogg read the agreement
which showed that it provided that
the Standard Oil Co., was to ship 2,
100000 barrels of oil year. When the
government counsel asked If the other
railroads besides the Pennsylvania
made like agreement for q 10 pei
cent rebate, Mr.. Rockefeller referred
him to the men who conducted the
negotiations.
