DISCOVERIES DURING INVESTIGATION Commissioner of Corporations Tells What he Found out During the Past Yenr—Railroads CanceNed all Secret Rates—To Make Spe- cial Reports on Other Industries Washington, Dec, 10.—The annual report of Commissioner of Corpora- tions James R. Garfield made public Sunday devoted special attention to the investigation of the transportation of oil and the operations of the Stan- dard Oil company. “During the investigation of the oil industry,” said the report, “it was dis- covered that a very widespread sys- tem of railway discriminationss exist- ed in favor of the Standard Oil com- pany affecting a very large proportion of the country and resulting substan- tially in giving to the Standard Oil company an overwhelming advantage in the transportation in almost all sec- tions of the country; that this system had been in existence for a number of years and that largely by virtue of it the Staudard had been able to re- strict or eliminate competition through- out many parts of the country and thereafter veap the benefits of mono- poly. These railway discriminations took various forms often very ingen- fous in their naturesand so skillfully concealed that their existence was very rarely suspected even by the ac- tive competitiors of the Standard, al- though such competitors knew that in general they were doing business at a disadvantage.” During the fiscal year indictments containing 8,193 counts were returned by the various grand juries as the re- sult of this investigation. “A most striking and important re- sult immediately followed the investi- gation of the bureau; the railroads cancelled substantially all the secret rates, illegal or improper discrimina- tions and in many cases the discrim- inations in open rates. The shippers of oil advise the bureau that for the first time in many years they are now rapidly obtaining equality of treatment from the transportation companies. “Work on the other phases of the oil industry and the investigations of the tobacco, steel, sugar and coal in- dustries are well advanced, special re- ports thereon will be made in due course. An inquiry into canal and water transportation has been started. Commissioner Garfield urges again the necessity for the establishment of federal inspection and supervision of the greater industrial corporations en- gaged in interstate and foreign com- merce. He says it will not interfere with the power and authority of the states over the corporations created under state laws and it is not ap in- of efficient publicity for the tion of corporate abuses, WORR =o! STANDARD BEGINS FIGHT. Has Entered a Demurrer to Federal Indictments at Chiengo—Clatms Elkins Law Was Repealed. Chicago, Dec, 10.—The fight, of the Standard Oi] company against the ten indictments against the Standard Oil company of Indiana which were returned August 29 was commenced Monday in the United States district court before Judge Landis, The in: dictments contain 6,418 counts and the Standard Oil] company has en- tered a demurrer. It is upon the lat- ter that the proceedings of Monday were based. The attorneys for the standard Oil company contended in support of their demurrer that Section 10 of the rate law passed by congress June 29 repeals the Elkins law under which the government is bringing the action aga’nst the company, and that the indictments are not sufficiently speci- fic because they do not comprehend all of the elements in the case. The contention that the Elkins law is repealed by the rate law and that the offenses alleged cannot therefore be punished under the former act was contradicted by United States Dis- trict Attorney Sims who declared that Section 13 of the revised statutes covers the case, in that it states that the repeal of an old statute does not condone prior offenses unless the re- pealing act so specifies in particular.
