Standard Oil Defends Tariff Practices In Government Suit
The Standard Oil Company issued a statement defending its tariffs amid a government suit now heard in Chicago. Exhibits from E Felton of the freight dept challenge government figures, noting differing rates between routes and citing nine cent rates tied to Pure Oil and other comparisons. Officials argue the alleged domination in tank cars is overstated, and rail freight shares show Standard Oil’s role shrinking since 1899 though still sizable.

Jerome Reasons Against Westchester Trial in Thaw Case

He disputes Mills’s decision to try the case locally, argues the writ of habeas corpus, and notes the need for Matteawan and Dowling orders to be executed by the superintendent.
