Roosevelt Denounces Oil Rate Abuses Reported by Garfield
President Roosevelt transmits Garfield's inquiry on oil transportation rates and secret rebates. He urges stronger interstate commerce powers as the source notes Standard Oil enjoyed at least 750000 dollars yearly via secret rates and open-rate discrimination. The report details secret and open rate schemes, blind billing, and tank car practices across states, with railroads and Standard Oil benefiting. A related West Virginia suit accuses the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and Fairmont Coal Co. of discrimination and conspiracy to ruin a rival.
