THE OIL PRODUCERS
See Trouble Ahead for Them in Mis-.
souri's Fight Against Standard.

Bartleyville, l. T., Jan. 2S.-Orders
have been received BY the Standard Oil
Co. that hereafter only third of the
mid-continent fields output would be
bought owing TO the fact that the
Standard will be prevented from
continuing as a buyer and transporter
of petroleum through the proceeding
instituted by Attorney General Hadley
Of Missouri. There is a production of
$4,000 barrels daily. The operators are
organizing to send a delegation to see
the Standards agents in Kansas City
since the enforcement of such an order
fo: long would soon mean the suspen-
Sion of activity. Falling they will go
to Mr.. Hadlcy to see IL he intends to
prevent the company from transporting
oil across Missouri.
The committee will tell him that il
the Standard is Ousted from Missouri
1t will shut off the market for petrole-
um products in this field because the
pipe line from the mid-continent fields
runs through Il portion of Missouri
Already the reduction by thirds of
the amount formerly taken by the
Standard has demoralized business and
there are fears that the Standard will
cease entirely to take oil during the
agitation.
