Investigation Begins Into Oil Freight Rates Across Kansas
A three member Interstate Commerce Commission panel opens hearings in Kansas City to probe railroad freight charges on oil sent from Kansas to neighboring states. Independent producers claim Standard Oil ties inflate rates, citing examples where跨 state moves cost far more than intrastate moves. Attorneys for independents, led by F S Monnett and J I Marchand, present data on discrepancies between state and federal tariff structures.
