car and coach oil , and Mr. Kellogg
said he would show that It controlled
97 per cent of the business.

railway department of the Galena Sig
nal Oil company , was the first witness
called. He said that the only com
panies he knew which sold lubricating
oils to raihoads were the Galena Sig
nal Oil company and the Waters-
Pierce Oil company.
The Waters-Pierce company , he
testified , obtains its oil from the Ga
lena Signal Oil company , which In
turn secures Its suppiy Irom the
Standard Oil company at the same
price as it is sold to the railroads
The Galena Signal Oil company gets
no refund.
Mr. Kellogg then road a letter from
Charles Miller , president of the Ga
lena Signal Oil company , written on
