New York. Sept., 22. Archbold, the
vice-president of the Standard Oil, to
day issued a statement denying the

,'"'" e rererred bitterly to
the business men as being "held up"
' b? a'esged lavr makers. He was Im
pelled to make a statement by the pro
Rosevelt statement made public last
night in which the Standard is clearly
referred to as endeavoring to defeat
the policies of the Roosevelt adminls
tratlon. Archbold referred to the Jealousy
of little merchants in their attitude
toward their larger rivals. . He said
the little merchant may violate the
law with his big rival, though the law
violated is probably a dead letter, but
the attention of the public will be
drawn to the action of the big mer
chants by the press, with the result
that "business men are held up by al
leged lawmakers without enough sense
been duly submitted to
fellow law-
makers."
