Charged Thst Standard Oil interests Get Better Rates. KANSAS CITY.‘ Mo. March 12.»— Actlng upon resolutions passed by both houses of Congress. three mem- bers of the Inter-state CommerceCom- mission began an investigation here into charges made by independent pro. ducerc of Kansas that the railways of Kansas discriminate to favor of the Standard Oil Company in the matter of oil rates outside that state. The railroads involved are the Santa Fe. the Missouri Pacific. the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, the St. Louis and San Francisco. the Rock island. the Union Pacific, the Kansas City South- ern and the Burlington. ‘ The members of the inter-state Com- merce Commission who will make the investigailon are Francis M. Cockroll. Judson C. Clements and Charles- A. Prouty. John T. Marchsnd was pre- sent today as the attorney for the commission. Frank 8. Monett, ton merly attorney-general of Ohio and Clifford Theme, of Washington, lows. were present so counsel for the Inde- pendent groducers. The railroads in- terested ad representatives at the its vestigaticn and there were several In- interested spectators. Among the lat ter was C. I). Chamberlain. of Clevev land, Ohio, secretary of the National Petroleum Association, comprising in» dependent companion of Pennsylvania and Ohio. The iiiiliulion for the investigation begun today was started some time ago. when Clifford Thoma. acting up' on behalf of the Kansas Oil Producers‘ Association, ed with Commissioner mirnold at sshington. s statement in whi instances of alleged discrim- ination against the independents In the matter of rates ware made.

In event of the Board falling to reach an agreement upon any grievance it was proposed that the Board then select an arbitra- tor to whom the grievance would be submitted for a prompt decision. The demands also provided that each employs be given an itemized pay statement. at least one day before pay- day. that a, discharged employs have the right to present his grievances in the s e manner as provided for In the case of other grievances, that no person be refused employment or in any other way discriminated against on account of membership in any labor organization, that the companies col- lect from each employs such amounts as might be levied by their organisa- tions monih‘y, the amount than coilec, ed in be turned ovor to an authorised committee at the axillary. that all em- ployee who are mull-ed in.work a safety lamp shouidrcc’eiwi 10 per cent. extra in addition to the regular wages or prices, and that the violnion of any provisio is of the agreement, either by the em loycrs or the employee, should not invalidate anyof its provisions.
