Oil Men Object To
Government Control

erS ever held IN the Hld-cohtlheH'
field was held at Tulsa Monday,
with prominent men of the indus
try present from all parts of the
fields.
Following a number OF commit
tee meetings and a general execu-
tive meeting in the afternoon, the
convention went on record as ia
voring a "hands Off policy by the
government with reference to the
industry. Lengthy resolutions
dealing with price regulation were
adopted in the afternoon and re-
leased for publication, but later
withdrawn from the press in toto.
Monday night another executive
session was held and for several
hours the delegates wrangled back
and forth, without apparently
reaching decision. At midnight
they were still in session without
any prospect of an early adjourn
ment.
Plans for preventing waste and
regulating prices SO as to torestall
any government attempt to take
over the industry were the princi-
pal points under discussion.
The proposition to eliminate pay
ment of premiums aroused heated
discussion and there was variety
of opinion as to the wisdom OF such
step.
1t was conceded on all sides that
unless definite program for pro-
ducers and refiners is agreed upon
at this conference the last chance
OF the oil men to stall OF govern
ment control will have slipped by
so everyone seemed determined to
remain on the OBJ until they reach
ed an agreement.
