OIL N En- ANX|OUSLY.
AW AIT De C|S| ON Of.
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

Oil men throughout the entire coun-
try are awaiting with intense inter-
est and anxiety the result Of the crit
icism made recently by Senator Owen
on the Federal Reserve Board power
and actions.
II IS known that the oil industry
suffers and will suffer more by de-
cisions made through the powers OF
control which the Federal Reserve
Board now possesses than will any
other industry in the commerce OF
the country.
According 70 Instructions which
the Board issued to the Federal Re-
serve Banks some time ago the credit
papers OF oil men are c,assed as NON
essential" and for that reason these
banks cannot honor them. Oil men are
now financing operations through
small loans made through their local
banks and through the exchange Of
credit among themselves, but, unless
the Federal Reserve Banks are permit
ted TO honor the credit papers Of
these men, operations in the fields
and refineries will be forced 10 cease
in many cases. within very short
time.
Even today, II is known fact that
the gasoline situation is very acute.
The demand is much greater than
the supply. Several western states
have been forced 10 limit the use OF
the fluid TO individuals. Present prices
rt gasoline are high. And this situa-
ton in the oil industry will become
more serious than ever unless the
Federal Reserve Board modiAes us de-
cisions in regard 10 the class oc oil
mems credit papers
