Discrimination By Act Of Congress
August 25, 1906
The Standard Oil System businessman heads to the entrance of the Grand Frank and Rebate R.R. He is labelled “A Common Carrier - By act of Congress.” He carries a Free R.R. ticket in his hat, and walks by a sign reading “N.B. Common Carriers may grant free transportation to Common Carriers - Act of Congress”
A man with a coal hod, representing competing business interests, stands aside.

By one possible interpretation of the new Railroad Rate law, any employee of Standard Oil could ride railroads for free.
