OIL TRADEABROAD.
Archbold Says Standard Ex
ports Bulk of llluminant.
Witness Declares Present Combination
Made It Possible to Successfully
Compete With Four Hundrea For.
elgn Companies.
The development of the Stand
nrd Oil company' trade in foreign
Ileitis as a subject of evldonce in
the government's suit nt New York to
dissolve the oil combination gave
John D. Archbold, vice president, an
opportunity as a wltneBB to spread
upon the records some Interesting fea
tures of the Standard's business In
foreign countries. Of the total amount
of Illuminating oil refined by the
Standard In 1906, Mr. Archbold stated
that 63 per cent was sold abroad Ex
port figures of other years further
'showed that the Standard exported
the major bulk of its illuminating oil.
The lino of testimony with regard to
the Immense foreign trade Indicates
that ono of the defenses of the Stand
ard is that the present combination
makes It possible to obtain this for
eign trade, which the company will
endeavor to show brings a trade bal
ance in favor of the United States.
This business, Mr, Archbold went on
to say, was secured In the face of
competition of 400 foreign companies.
Mr. Archbold said that products of
the Standard reach every part of the
world and further declared that It
was the aim of the company to reach
direct every consumer In the far east,
us In this country.
Testimony was given by Mr. Arch
bold that during the period of the
Standard' OH trust the trustees poured
millions of the company's earnings
back Into the conBtrucUon of new re
fineries and pipe lines.
MAY SUBPOENA TARIFF CRITICS.
Ways and Means Committee Will Ap
peal to Congress.
Determined to bring before ll those
xvho have criticised the hearings
at Washington on the proposed
revision of the tariff, nnd satls'tled
that there Is much" important informa
tion to be obtained before the fram
ing of an impartial tariff bill can be
undertaken, the ways and means com
mittee of the house will request con
gress to authorize it to subpoena wit
nesses to appear at later hearings ,
While the committee has been hold
Ing sessions which have lasted late
in the night, much time has been
wasted and too frequently but one side
of the question iias been presented.
J. W. Van Cleave, president of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
and' C II. Miles, chairman of the tariff
committee of tke same organization,
have frequently attacked the methods
used by the committee.
Chairman Payne has strongly re
sented the attacks and the request to
congress for the right to subpoena
witnesses Is understood to be directed
mainly at Van Cleave and Miles, who
have not appeared despite special invl
tations. The wish of the committee
to get at the facts with regard to tar
iff revision has been reiterated by
Chairman Pojae for the "standpat
ters," by Champ Clark for the minor
ity members, and by several Republic
an members who are understood to
lepresent the views of President Elect
Taft. The desire for authority to sub
poena witnesses and to bold as many
bearjngs as will be found necessary
is theiefore practically unanimous.
During the progrees of the hearings
It has become evident that the vari
ous factions In the house aie united
on the one proposition to pass a bill
that will embody a thorough and Im
partial revision of the present tariff
law. It will also Include a careful re
adjustment of the wording and pro
visions In order to eliminate any pos
sibility of misinterpretation by the
courts 1 there Is any opposition to a
thorough revision, it Is believed I
will develop after the bill has parsed
the house and reaches the senate

Justice Holmes announced the deci
