Repayment waa afterward made to ablppet by tbe New York line. Tbe law of that State forbid railroad from combining lo raise freight, but tbe opinion waa legally expressed that hla (Wataon') oompany could oontract eep- arately with each road. Tbe South Im provement Company controlled transporta tion ty rail from the oil regions, aod would have received drawbacks ou all oil abipped by any ooe' If part of tbe producer btd gave In the balance would have been forced in. He thought tbe arrangement would bare benefited producer aod refiner, but not consumer. Tbe company contemplated pnrcbaaing all tbe refineries and controlling tba export trade. No definite proviaioo wa made for the dispoaal of tbe cootemplat ed aix mllliona profit on drawback. He pro. duced evidence of the cancellation of the contract with tbe railroad, and also read tbe contract themselves. These show that the railroads agreed to aidin all legal ways to break down any competition witb tbe South Improvement Company. .With eact company there wa an agreement that the South Improvement Company should bave tbe privilege of suspending all shipment for not longer than ooe week at a lime, and not oftener than once la sixty day. Tbe railroads agreed to pay to tbe South Im provement Company the tame drawback and rebate on oil (hipped by any other par- tiea tban eald company that tbey allowed that company, charging aucb outside par tie ald full rate.
