WASHINGTON. rec. 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

This remarkable admission by Mr. Moffett
aiiowa the general value of Iris defense. He
further adir.Hted that LIS -wtatenaenf waa
largely prepared by his attorney, Mr. llonu
Rosenthal.
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.
