Railway Committee of the Privy Council
Parte de Local History Collection
Article on the prices of oil rates and monopolies in regards to train service. The article mainly references the United States, yet the rate fluctuation greatly affected Canadian trains and oil service in the early 1900s.
"The Railway Committee of the Privy Council has come to the conclusion that the railways which have been discriminating in freight rates in favor of the Standard Oil Trust must lower the rates charged other American oil companies. This is a move in the right direction and it is hoped that now the octopus will be shorn of the power it has possessed for the past year to victimize the people of this country in the price of so important an article as oil, which is universally used. If this decision of the Railway Committee is an earnest of the intention of the Government to look after the people's interests it will give the whole country the highest degree of satisfaction."
