put Brun at I, great disadvantage in COM
peting with shipments from Oil City and
Franklin. which he described as Standard

Boltz testified he did not charge that a
deliberate effort had been made by the
carriers to favor Standard Oil interests.
Il am merely trying to show. he in
sisted. that a horizontal > per cent m
crease has not been made and that GER

variations from that increase would have
the effect of discriminating against GER

told Examiner Gerry ii appeared there
was an "inadvertence' in that particular
which he hoped to be able to explain
later.
Boltz insisted that so lar as the oil
interests were concerned, no increase in
rates should be made. He said the
Standard Oil Company fixed the market
price Of refinery products, and While
that company enjoyed cheaper methods
of handling oil from the wells. the in
depe ndent refiners must bear an increase
in rates.
Statement for the Railways.
Charles S. Patterson, general counsel
for the Pennsylvania railroad, made
statement for all the railroads interested,
saving they expected to present sup
Elementary evidence in support of the
advance as the hearing proceeded. That
brought out a protest from c. d. Cham
berlain of Cleveland attorney for the
National Petroleum Association whS con-
tended that the shippers had been given
to understand that the railroads had
closed their case. He stipulated that
while the shippers We're willing to pro-
ceed under such an arrangement. they
reserved the right to make other formal
protest.
Robert S. Pew. president of the Sun Oil
Company of Toledo, Ohio, was the first
witness for the petroleum shippers. He
testified that the Increases proposed in
petroleum tariffs filed by the railroads
We're in many instances. actually greater
than per cent and that to allow them
would be to grant to the Standard Oil
Company an advantage over inpeden-
dents. because the STANDARD was ship
ping oil through its own pipe lines to
hotly competitive districts.
Prepared With Detailed Evidence.
Headed by Louis d. Brandes of Bos-
ton, as counsel for the commission, the
shippers lawyers were prepared to pre-
sent detailed evidence against the pro-
posed increase. Todays hearing was
devoted to Shipments of petroleum, and

classes, such as iron and steel. lumber
and coal, each principal subject will have

scented by a battery of lawyers prepared
