The IVpart- ment of Commerce and Labor has Issued a reply to the formal statement to tha public by tbe Standard Oil company in rjrard to tba fine assessed by Judge Landis. The reply Is. In part, as follow s: On Augut t. 1T. at Chicago, tha Standard Oil company of Indiana was firwd :.:40 for the vioistlon cf ths Eikins anti-rebate law. ibis was tha so-called "Alton case" Vartoua state ments have since appeared, and tbe particu lar signed bv the pre-Jdent of that com pany, James A Moffett, others in tr.a pul.lic press, and also a series cf confi dential "trade letters." sll endeavoring tn throw doubt on the legality and equity of that conviolion. Tbe report of the commissioner cf cor porations on tbe transportation of petro leum, published In May. i'K on whirn this and all ether pendina rebate indict ments of the Standard exoept one t were based, et forth In detail the deliberate. l"ng-c-cntinu-d conduct on the part cf the FtatvJsrd in violating tbe anti-rebit laws. But these raoent statements Lava made it necessary to show once more that the transactions which form the hsn of this conviction at Chicago were such as struck at the very life and spirit of 'he Klkins anti-rebate law and cf the policy of congress In forbidding unfairness as between shippers. The question In this case was one of a published iX-cent rate to East St Louis, aa against a eeret C-oent rat. The oil shipments involved in this so called "Alton" conviction started from Whiting, lnd th great refinery cf the Standard war Chicago, and were delivered at St Louis. Mo, w at East St. Louis. 1.1, Just across the river from St- Louis, bv tbe Chicago s Alton railroad. Thy covered a "-period from September 1, lrltl, to March 1. !. The law requlrs that all lnterestata railway rates be filed with the Interstate Commerce commission. Lur!ng this en tire time there wsa on file with the Inter state Commerce commission a Joint "tar iff"' or rate aheet to which the Alti road was a partv. showlns that the rate cn fifth-class frelrht from Whiting and Chicago to East St Louis waa la cents per hundred pounds. Fifth-class freigM Includes petroleum oil. This Joint tariff w as a large printed document distributed to many shippers cf all aorta of freight I sed Only by Standard. miring the time so stated 1.461 csrs of oil were carried from Whiting, lnd. to East St Louis over the Alton road for the Standard Oil company at the rat of i cents per hundred pounds. Just one third of the said published rate. This rr .-tn-t c-rnt rate had been used bv the Standard Oil company, and by nof one else, for many years prior to this period U waa not filed with the Inter state Commerce commission, and was ab solutely secret and unknown to inde pendent oil refiners or to shippers gen erally. ... The said statement cf James A. MotT ett uses the following remarkable lan guage : "It mtist be borne In mind that there is no question of rebate or discrimination in this tan." Whether it was a "rebate- or not is a mere question of word. Apparently the position of Mr. Moffetl is that if ha had actuailr . paid I lie Alloa IS cents per HK pounds and received back U rents, so as to make a net. rata of cema. this would bava been a "re bate," But that, beeaus the lawful rate was IS cents and his company paid only C. and tha balance til cents) never phyK-aily passed beck and forth between his company and the Alton rail road, although the result waa exactly tha same.' it waa not a "rebala." This state ment it simply an evasion. The other proposition of Mr. Moffett is that there -was no discrlminstion In this case." Apparently his position Is that, because no one else is known to have paid the published It-cent rate lrora Whiting to JJast St. Louis wlale his com pany was paying cents, ineretore there was no discrlminstion. On the con trary, this very situation proves that not otily wss tbere diacrimlnation. but that this disctlrmnation had worked out its logical result, so that no one else could ship at IS cents in competition with the Standard'e -cent rate. Precisely this, and other secret discriminations In shipments from Whiting, produoed that con plete state cf monopoly in the vicinity of Cfck-ago which tbe Standard ow calmly designates as "absence of dis crimination." Stamdard's Chief Defease. But the chief ground tipon whicn the Standard defends itse-lf is the eo-caJled "Oikago and Eastern Illinois rale." Tb claira it that wr.Ue the ahipmenta of oil were going on at cents over the Alton railroad tbere existed at the same time over tba Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad a rate of - cents front Whiting to East St. Louis. Tbe Standard claims that this - cent rats was a legal rate, and ' that therefore, inasmuch aa the Standard could i Visve ahioned all its oil at this sJleeed I legal rate over the Chicago and Eastern ' the f alsificstion of aeoounta ta make tiiern t The Mutter of a state camp was considered Illinois.

These facts of themselves refute com pletely tbe attempted Justification of the Alton rate by means of tb Chicago A Eastern Illinois f--oenl rate, snd show that one was aa secret as tbe other. But still more significant was l be con duct of the railroads and the Standard in ths manner of handling the -cet rate over both railroads. The Standard claims that there was nothing aocret about the rate But every waybill for oil shipped over tbe Alton under thia rata was faisely biiied" that la. toe waybills showed on their face a rate of 1 cema. with the freight charge in each case computed on the waybill at If. at rate, althougn the actual freight charge collated from the Standard was at the rat of cents. la the conteni poraneoua shipments of tbe Standard over the Chicago Eas-.em Illinois road every waybill for such shipments was disguised by another scheme, to-wit, by being " blind billed" thst is. no rate at an was tered on tbe wsybnll until tbe said waybill reached the general oroces cf the rai.roaa.
