Since the meeting of the directors
Of the Quaker Oil d Gas co. in Tulsa
a few days ago, no new developments
have arisen in the Quaker-Carter OH
company controversy regarding the
sale of g. 55,000-barrel tanks of
Gushing oil. At the meeting of the
directors w G. Mcbride promised that
a statement setting forth the position
OF the Quaker would be forthcoming
in a few days, but so far nothing has
been given out.
It is expected that attorneys for the
quaker company, the producing sub
sidiary of the Pure Oil company, will
file their answer in a few days in the
federal court at MuskOgec where the
Carter company filed suit to make
the Quaker complete their sale con-
tract and got a temporary Injunction
preventing the quaker from dispOsing
of the Oil
The contract for the sale of his
oil was made at the market price
when the market was so cents a bar
rel. allowing 25 cents a barrel for
steel tankage. At this price the deal
involved about $3,4OO,OOO. Since the
deal was made the market has ad-
NanCed 90 cents per barrel If the
Quaker oil company wins the suit
and then dispose of this oil at the
market price of the present time they
will profit S6S5,900 more than they
would should they be forced to COM
pote the sale to the Carter people
The Carter company will profit the
same amount which represents the
difference between the old price and
the present market
On this hangs the CruX Of the en-
tire situation. While the petition Of
the Garter company sets out that the
reason for the failure to complete the
deal was a difference in gauging the
tanks, it is generally known that an
offer of a higher price to the Quaker
company is responsible for the Htiga-
ton
It-is reported that the deal with the
Carter company was made by certain
officials of the Quaker company with
out the explicit consent of the board
of directors and that some Of the di-
rectoTs baked on the price believ-
ing the oil should have brought bet
ter than the market
II is generally believed here that
some sort of an agreement will be
reached out Of court, as to fight the
matter through the courts would
mean that the oil would be tied up for
years and neither side would get the
benefit of It. At all events it has
IItStIltu pilN VI Illt iliOSl interesting
sides of the oil business ever brought
to the attention of the public.
A part of the petition filed by the
Carter company in the federal dis
trict court at Muskogee follows:
That on the first day Of October,
1915, a contract was entered into be-
tween the complainant and the de-
fendant, copy of which is herein at
tached marked as Exhibit \, and re-
ferred to as part of this bill Of COM
plant.
That by the terms Of said contract
II Is provided:
