REPORT REGARDING
REDUCTION CRUDE OIL
PLACED BEFORE PRES.
(By Associated Press. }

Washington, May 4.-In response
to Senate resolution directing an
Investigation into the cause of a re-
duction in prices of crude oil IN
1914 in the Hoaldton, Okla, oil
field, sometimes called the Ardmore
field. report by the old Bureau of
Corporations vas laid today before
President Wilson. The report was
completed before the bureau vas
merged with the new Federal Trade
comnliSSi ION
The investigation revolved around
the charge that the Magnolia Pine
Line Co., having monopoly in
transportation Of oil in the Ardmore
field had arbitrarily reduced the
price of crude oil and had practiced
determinations.
In BRIEF" says the report, "the
conclusion OF the bureau is that re-
ductions in the price of Hoaldton
crude oil were mad because of the
discovery by the Magnolia Pipe Line
Company of its small gasoline and
kerosene content, and because the
lubricating values Of this crude oil
were not enough to warrant, under
existing conditions. its. use for. the
manufacture of lubricants.
The pipe line company, however,
does not appear to be without blame
for its failure to determine the true
character of the oil at an early date.
This would have saved much disap-
pointment to producers.
The bureau found no evidence of
any intent on the part of the pipe
hne company to discriminate be-
tween the different producers or
against the oil produced on Indian
allotments. The bureau did find
however, that at various periods
some producers may have been fav-
cred at the expense OF others. I'm
der the law the pipe line company
should either have taken the total
production or should have prorated
its purchases and equalized them
within 80 days. In the case of most
OF the producers temporary inequali-
ties were apparently corrected with
In the legal period. The unreliable
ity Of existing records relating to
production and unsettled question
as to what legally constitutes dis
elimination, preclude positive
statement in regard to the subject. :"
