Oil Octopus Robs Americans to Keep European Victims
Washington Aug 14 The Corporations Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith released a new section of his Roosevelt era report accusing Standard Oil of protecting its world monopoly by price discrimination. He says American prices rose where monopoly exists and fell where competition bites, with vast foreign exports masking U.S. consumer costs. The study cites railroad rebates, local price variation, and lubricants contracts as methods enabling price manipulation and suppression of rivals. It also notes extensive European sales and domestic pricing disparities that undermine fair competition.
