Secret Rate Files Show Oil Tariff Favoritism by Vermont Railroad
Testimony in government case against Standard Oil reveals a long standing secret rate scheme by the Central Vermont Railway to move oil cheaply for the rival. Officials described special pricing to Burlington and other New England towns, with higher rates charged to independents, and destroyed correspondence hindering full disclosure. Other witnesses noted price manipulation and distribution controls within the Powder Trust, with officers admitting price divisions and a sales board guiding rates. The hearing resumes in Wilmington, Del. next week.
