The Gas Situation.

If the Oklahoma Natural Gas
Company has made a move to Sc
cure a supply of gas from the Fox
field no one here seems to be aware
of it. If some such move is not
made it is altogether probable that
Tulsa, Guthrie, Oklahoma City and
such other cities as are depending
on the Oklahoma natural for their
fuel supply will experience a worse
condition in this respect than they
did last winter The coal supply
will be heavily drawn on for war
needs and transportation lines will
in all probability. be tide up with
other business than hauling coal
to relieve the shortage of gas.

Premium System to Stand.

A. c. Bedford, chairman of the
National Petroleum War Service
committee, has recommended to Di-
rector M. l.. Rcqua that certain
premiums above the posted prices
of crude oil stand This applies TO
the Appalachian, mid-continent and
Gulf coast fields will be made
now.
The committee recommended the
large purchasing companies in the
Appalachian and mId-continent di-
visions continue to purchase crude
oil at their posted market price, and
that all other purchasers who now
pay a premium" which in the APP
palachian district shall not exceed
10 cents a barrel and in the mid
continent field shall be as follows:
For Gushing crude maximum
price of IS cents barrel; for Gar
Der and all Billings crude maxi
mum premium of 81 for Kay coun-
ty crude a maximum premium Of
90 cents; for Healdton crude y
maximum premium of 80 cents.
For all other crudes for the mid
continent division, including Kan
sas, Oklahoma and northern Tex
as, a maximum premium not to ex-
ceed Is cents barrel would be
permitted with the strict under
standing that in no district in which
premiums are being paid of less
than Is cents per barrel will the oil
administration permit the paying OF
a higher premium than now is in
effect.
The committee also recommend
ed that no oil buyer be permitted
to take away from any other buyer
such runs OF oil as the latter has
been receiving without first getting
the consent of the oil administra-
tion to the transfer. This does not ,
apply, Mr.. Bedford explained, to :
production owned or produced by =
purchasing companies. c
The committee explained that its r
recommendation are not TO affect Z
existing contracts, except those
contracts which have been made
recently and which Mr.. Requa feels r
are contrary to the policy outlined S
in his letter Of May Il last. Par =
ties to such contracts may be re-
quested to resclnd them.

At no time has he or his friends been willing
