I WAR IN
OIL INDUSTRY
CUT ON GASOLINE TO s.S CENTS
BY STANDARD Is SERIOUS
BLOW TO THE INDEpEND-

Tulsa Okla.-Practically every in
dependent refinery in Oklahoma and
Kansas was represented at a meet
ing here of the Western Petroleum
Refiners for the purpose of taking
some action upon the price cutting
move of the Standard Oil Company,
which by some of the independents IS
regarded as a declaration of war.
Twice this week the Standard Oil
Company has cut gasoline until it is
now quoted in Kansas City at SIS
cents a gallon. Independent refiners
say it is impossible for them to meet
the cuts and operate their plants at a
profit, and further they say the enor-
nous increase in demand for gasoline
as the result of the war in Europe
would legitimately warrant an in
crease instead of n decrease in price
They decided to stand pat as an or
ganlzation on their quoted prices.
Independent refiuers are in COM

field. including the Gushing field
with twenty-four large plants in op-

LIQUOR CAN GO
TO "DRY" STATES
U. s. SUPREME COURT HOLDS TT
MAY BE SENT FOR USE BY
INDIVIDUALS.

Washington, d.. C.-By a decision
involving the Webb-kenyon law the
Supreme court of the United States
paved h way for the reopening of
the struggle in congress to prevent
the interstate shipment of intoxicant
liquor.
The court held that the shipment
(of liquor to a person in dry territory
for his individual consumption was
mot a violation of the Webb-kenyon
law.
The dfys have held that the law
vas intended to prevent the ship
ment of liquor into dry territory. ir-
respective of the purpose for which
~ was intended. either for sale or
personal consumption.
Means FIGHT for Prohibition.
Undoubtedly the effect OF the de-
sision today will make the Prohibit
Gonists more active in their efforts
" obtain national prohibition and
less active in pushing propaganda
TOR statewide prohibition.
The courts decision was that the
Webh-kenyon law designed to pro-
hibit interstate shipments of liquor
into dry territory does not apply to
such shipments unless the state into
Nhich the shipment is made has a
Jaw making it a crime for a person
to drink liquor Or to have it in his
possession. Few states have such
laws.
