NO PROSECUTIONS LIKELY
Evidence Understood to Have
Failed to Justify Charges

Gasolene consumers need not look
for relief at the hands OF the Govern
xnent from the present high prices OF
the product. unless something In aid

the proposed establishment of stand

10 possible 10 will be made this month
hut there are intimation 1t will wait

Good reason exists for the belief 1t
will be a disappointment to those inde-
pendent oil people and others who have
hoped the Government was going to get
after the subsidiaries of the Standard
Oil group with a sharp stick and set
prosecutions In motion.
Far from this, 1t is said the report
will fail to hold the Standard OIL ele-
OF things to such an extent as to jus
ttfy prosecution.
No Prosecutions Expected.
Moreover, the report of the trade COM
mission will not result in the Depart
ment Of Justice undertaking prosecu-
tons, according to statements of persons
well informed today.
The expectation in some quarters
has been that the various subsidiaries
of Standard Oil, concerns having COM
mon stockholders, would be found by
the trade commission in a combine plot
ting to hold up the public for higher
prices. But II Is understood the COM
mission has failed to develop such evil
dence.
The reason for the long delay in the
report Is that the Department of Jus
toe has taken a hand in the scanning of
the report. 1t has not desired repor:
