OKLAHO M PLANS TO
BOOST OIL PRICES

Tulsa. Okla. Dec. 27.-Through
one of the most gigantic schemes ever
undertaken in the crude oil industry
In this country, the independent oil
operators and small producing con-
Germs Of the Mid-Continent oil field
hope to force the price Of Oklahoma
crude oil. now bringing but so cents
barrel. up to - cents barrel Of
more The plan. which has had no
publicity and which is decidedly novel
in it's character will involve an enor-
nous amount OF capital and the CO.
operation Of strong competitor Of
the Standard oil company.
The proposal to fix the price OF
Oklahoma crude oil at Is cents a
barrel al the wells. the price TO be
agreed upon by large number OF
the operators who will enter an
agreement to sell their production at
nothing less than - cents a barrel
for given period of time. The per
iod has not been decided upon as yet.
The aim will be TO control $4,000 10
80. 900 barrels daily production I'M
der this agreement.
When this arrangement is perfect
ed II will be- taken TO some strong
foreign company. probably the Roya!
nutch-Shell, and that company inNi'-
ed to enter the field as a competitor
OF the Standard oil company. taking
as a basis of operations the agree
nent above referred to. This would
assure the competing concern OF
- 900 to $4,000 barrels daily pro-
duction. and would necessitate the
building OF a pipe line to tidcwater.
The nearest point At which facilities
for ocean shipments could be secured
would be the Gulf OF Mexico.
The matter Is now under serious
consideration and is being extensively
canvassed among the prominent OPP
orators Many OF them are taking a
very favorable view Of II. and the
man at the head of 1t has ability,
courage and experience to carry II
through Il is believed the scheme
is now far enough advanced that II is
assured Of being a reality in the very
near future, In which event the oil
industry OF Oklahoma will be reyo-
/ lutioni7ed The increasing of the
price of oklahoma crude oil to -
cents barrel would mean abou,

Oklahoma oil producers. figured on
