STANDARD OIL co LAYS SOME
BLAME ON THE WAR

Washington, Aug. 2e.-As result
of the war the Standard Oil Co. is
only able to buy 25 per cent of the
production of independent operators,
James K. Jones, attorney for the
Standard Oil Co., informed senate
committee today.
Jones was protesting against an
investigation proposed under the
Chiffon resolution. This resolution
demanded inquiry why the Standard
Oil Co. had refused to purchase all
the production of the Independents
and was only buying about 25 per
cent of the total output. The reso-
luton intimated that it was the pur-
pose of the Standard Oil Co. through
its control of the pipe line facilities
to force the Independents to sell out.

trouble. An investigation was begun

Judge Gemmill also took a hand in

for Dennis P Foley, Joe Schmidt and

charged with signing bonds in excess
of their assets.

hard enough, but is no whirlwind
otherwise. McDonough, who was
with, the Feds last. season, acted like
ballplayer. Killifer, is star, but he
must first be landed.
The pitching staff is the strongest
point of the whole team.
Two positions in the infieId, third

places appear a trifle weak.

Wickland during the short while he

an excellent record with several

the legality of the reserve clause will

If the reserve clause is knocked out
the Feds will make offers to any
players they want, whether under
contract or not, and a fine little row
will ensue, the players securing fat
contracts for a term of years.
This warfare will result in the
recognition of the Feds within short
time, and they will be admitted to
organized ball if they want to come
in. Then the players viii have their
salaries chopped when time comes to
sign new contracts.
But the terms will not be lower
than those they are at present signed
for. Any way this mess develops, the
players will get the benefits, and some
