LAW HELD UP.
Legislature Appears to Have
Played into Hands of Standard
Oil Trust.

Charlotte Chronicle.
Whether or not the Legislature
so intended, it appears to have
played into the hands of the
Standard Oil Trust in the passage
of the State oil inspection law.
One of the provisions of the law
is that "oil stored in the State
prior to July l is not compelled
to pay the tax of half cent a
gallon or be inspected" The
Red c Company, of Baltimore,
claims that this clause works
a discrimination, in that the
Standard is the only company
that has tanks in this State suf-
ficient for the storage of any
large quantity of oil, and further,
that the clause compelling oil
companies to inform the Board
of Agriculture of shipments into
the State simply serves to inform
the Standard Company of the in
dependent companies business.
The Standard has been tanking
up the State on non-inspected oil.
In view of these conditions, the
Red C has applied for an injunc.
ton and has secured it. The Red
C, in it's sworn declaration in its
bill of equity. declares that the
North Carolina inspection law,
which went into effect July l,
operates unequally and to the pre-
judice Of complainant and other
independent oil companies, anC
in favor Of the Standard Oil Com.
pany," and on the presentation
Of these facts, Judge Pritchard
has issued an injunction forbid
ding the State Board of Agricul
ture and the Commissioner Of
Agriculture from enforcing the
law. A hearing is ordered be-
fore Judge Connor at Raleigh
August 2. The serious part OF
this business is that if the in
junction is made permanent, al
the oil inspectors who worked 81
hard for their jobs, will be pu
out of commission. 1t will no
matter much, one way or thu
other, to the Standard. Nothing
ever hurts that trust.
