Between Subsidiaries May
Start New Investigation.

New York, Sept. 24.-Samuel Inter
myer, counsel for the Waters-Pierce
interests in the litigation with the
Standard Oil company, was not at his
office today when the hearings We're
resumed and it was understood that he
had gone to Washington for a confer
ence with government officials, rela-
tive to the possibility of reopening the
dissolution case against the Standard
OIL Dispatches from Wash
ington said that the government was
Closely watching the situation.
Mr.. Untermyer has sought to show
in his recent cross-examination of wit
nesses that the Standard Oil company
still dominated its former subsidiaries.
AS he is also counsel for the govern
ment in the so-called money trust in
ve%stigation, however, it is possible he
had been summoned to Washington for
a conference concerning that matter.
What They Admit.
At hearings of the Waters-Pierce
Standard Oil case before Commissioners
A. L. Jacobs. at No. 81 Wall street, Of
ficers of Standard Oil companies or
subsidiaries have made the following
admissions:
There is no real competition among
the former Standard Oil branches, al
though each is now supposedly I'm
dependent"
The Standard Oil company of New
York sells no oil in New Jersey, not
even in Jersey City or Hoboken. 1t
leaves hat business to the Standard
Oil of New Jersey, it's COM
petitor.''
The Standard Oil company of New
York and Ohio, though they have re-
1neries at Buffalo and Cleveland, make
no bid for the oil trade of the great
lakes, They leave that to the Standard
Oil company of Indiana, on the Amer
lean side, and to the Imperial Oil COM
pany Ga New Jersey subsidiary on the
Canadian side.
York, in order to sell candles and wax
in New Jersey, sells them, not to job
bers or consumers, but to its com
petitor," the Standard Oil company Of
New Jersey.
Big Loan Not Secured.
The Standard Oil of Louisi-
ana, which obtained 5000, 900 without
any security whatever from the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey before
the dissolution of the trust, retains that
money, and it is still unsecured.
The Standard Oil company of New
York, which owns a large fleet of light
ers in New York harbor, is perfectly
willing to charter them to %independ-
ents"-but never could spare the
boats
The directors of the Standard Oil
company of New York do not remem-
Der" how or why they We're elected.
They simply went upstairs in No. 26
Broadway and came down with new
honors.
The officers of pipe line companies
which carry the Standards crude oil
supply are former clerks, former sec
retaries, even former mechanics, who
do not attend directors meetings, but
remain at their old posts, though their
companies are now independents" One
man became president of four such
companies within two hours. He
didn't know" and never heard why.
The officers and principal stockhold-
ers of both New York and New Jersey
Standard Oil companies lake luncheon
together every noon at No. 26 Broad
way, just as they did for Is years be-
fore the trust was ordered by the gov
to dissolve.
