Aug. 5.—Significant revelations have been made public In a report submitted to President Roose velt by Herbert Knox Smith, commis sioner of corporation, concerning the operations of the Standard oil Coro- P< The present report sets forth tjis re sults of those methods and the effect they have had on the consumer of oil and on the profile of the Standard OH Company. Commissioner Smith says: •The following facts are proven: The Standard has not reduced margins dur ing the period In which It has been responsible for the prices of oil. DuV Ing the last eight years covered by this report (1898 to 1905) It has raised both prices and margins. Its domina tion has' not been acquired nr main tained by Its superior efficients-, but rather by unfair competition and meth ods economically and most unjustifi able. The Standard has superior effi ciency In running Its own business; It has an equal efllclency In destroying the business of competitors. It keeps for Itself the profits of the first nnd adds to these the monopoly profits in- cured by the second. Its profits are far above the highest possible standard of a reasonable commercial return, and have been steadily Increasing. Final ly, the history of the persistent use of the worst Industrial methods, the ex action of exorbitant prices from the consumer and the securing of exces sive profits for the small group of men who over a long series of years have thus dominated the business." In a few days another section of the report will be made public, setting forth the Importance of price discrimi nation In restraining the business of competitors and augmenting the prof its of the Standard.
