Disappearing 9000-Barrel Oil Shipment in Standard Case
The article recounts a 9000 barrel crude oil shipment from Western Pennsylvania to New York that vanished en route, fueling arguments that Standard Oil’s pipe lines cannot operate as common carriers. Engineer Forrest M. Townes testified on shipment limits and contamination risks, while Kellogg pressed for broader shipping rights. A heated cross examination involved Professor Joseph French Johnson over price comparisons, with both lawyers later striking the exchange from the record as the hearing resumes.
