3 CARS OF TRUSTS
OIL ARE REJECTED
Standard Oil Company Protests
Against Action by Mime
sofa Officials.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April %. - Con-
~sternation has been caused among the
western representatives of the Stand
ard Oil company by the rejection OF
three cars of Oil shipped into Mime
apolis within the last week.
The company has protested against
the states test as Incorrect and UNI
necessarily severe and has SEM one
of its experts from Chicago to dem
onstrate it's contention.
So far az is known this Is the first
case in which a quantity of oil has
been condemned by the Minnesota in
spection department. The cars were
inspected at Window. Westbrook and
Cokato, and are now being held at
those points. w Of the cars We're
inspected by the same man and the
third by another man, but in all three
cases the result of the test was the
same and the inspection reports were
verified by w. E. McEwen, hisf cs
h department.
The ground upon which the oil was
condemned was that under the fire
test 1t would ignite at a temperature
OF 1T degrees, whereas the law re-
quires that 1T shall stand a test Of 100
degrees.
This is the first oil that 1 have re-
jected," said w. E. McEwen, chief oil
inspector, discussing his action, "for
l did not k to take any radical ac-
ton which was new in the office, and
heretofore the samples ave never
been more than a shade short of grade.
I knew it had not been customary to
throw out oil that would run close to
the required grade, and I followed the
same policy. But in this instance the
Oil falls three degrees short of the
required test. and | can see no way
but to reject it.
The company contends that our test
is wrong and has tried to demonstrate
this with an appliance that viii test
only a ~teaspoonful of oil at a time. Our
law requires that we shall test with
a half-pint and our appliances of that
capacity show the oil to be off grade.
We viii consider u own appliances
standard, at least until the
can show that it is wrong"
Heretofore the inspection of oil in
Minnesota has been regarded by the
companies as more or less of a joke.
No gravity test, for quality, is required
by the law, and the fire test has not
been conducted very rigidly.
