Railway Man Talks Pipeline on a Right of Way
Kansas City March 15. Interstate Commerce Commission hearings on Kansas Oil Producers association charges of rate discrimination continued with J R Koontz of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe testifying about pipelines on the railroad right of way. He said Standard Oil lines run east of Sugar Creek to Illinois and west along Santa Fe rights of way. Kansas crude and fuel oil rates mirror Texas while other petroleum products are lower. Railroads defer to public sentiment and have not challenged the Kansas rate amid public unrest.
