What reading level is The Making of America volume 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The interstate commerce act seems to have been observed by the Standard Oil company. "Little testimony, " says the industrial commission of 1900, "was brought forward to prove that it still actually receives lower rates for shipment over the same tracks than its competitors. " In the testimony before the commission, on this latter point, the opinion was ex- pressed by witnesses testifying in opposition to the Standard Oil company that direct discriminations and rebates are still received by the... Standard; but the evidence adduced in proof of this opinion was unsatisfactory, and was considered entirely inconclusive by the commission.
In other ways than by discriminations in actual rates the Standard Oil company, after 1887, secured special advantages in transportation. The shipments of oil from those localities which it chose for distributing points were so large that the freight rates for that locality were naturally most favorable to this chief commodity of shipment. Competitive points, points where several railroads compete, or where water transportation RISE OF THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY 193 competes with the railways, were generally fixed upon as dis- tributing centers.
