CRIMINAL ACTION
NOT DECIDED YET
Another Member Shows His
Ignorance of the Real
Condition.

WASHINGTON. April 15.-Depart-
ment Of justice officials declined to-
day to discuss whether the inNestiga-
ton into the rise of gasoline prices
mad reached stage where criminal
indictments were being considered.
1t was staed at the department.
however. that agents still were gath
ering information and that the nature
bf prosecutions II any. would be de-
i, cided by the result of the investiga-
tion.
The gasoline agitation came up
again in congress today when Rep
resentative Howard of Georgia urged
house committee to report favor
ably his bill to declare an embargo on
all crude oil products including gas
oline until fair and equitable price
has been restored in this country.
Explanation of the increased cost
of gasoline was found in the Standard
Oil company's control of pipe lines
rather than in the increased exporta-
ijons caused by the war, ne contend
,'Sd. He offered statistics to show that
the total increased consumption in
tk.s country and abroad during the
Last year was only seven per cent
more than the increased production
while prices had advanced 10 per
cent.
IL THESE CouultiOUS tNlSl as you
say they do" Representative Adam
son inquired, why doesn't the de-
partment of justice get after some of
these fellows and put them in Jail ?"
The department is investigating" >"
MIR. Howard replied. And they can
find the facts and figures just as |
have stated them"
Mr.. Howard gave figures to show
the profit on a barrel of crude oil
products costing originally $155,
piped from Pittsburgh TO Atlanta
would be fifty cents after all expenses
were paid.
'"And we must remember" he said,
THAT the Standard gets all the profits
that accrue from refining and ship
ping. which ! have charged to ex-
penses.'
Shipments abroad are falling off
every day and yet the Standard Oil
trust desires to continue to make us
pay war prices. | insist that the Euro
pean war is being used only as an ex-
use for extracting an eXorbitant
profit from the American people"
No one appeared to oppse the bill
and Mr.. Howard was his only wit
ness. The committee took no action.
