Predicts a Famine Of Oil

Mexico City Oct An oil famine
along with great decrease in the
production Of Mexican petroleum was
forecast here today By j. A. Phelan'
representative OF the United States
shipping board, who has been conduct
ing an investigation in the Mexican
oil fields. He charges the world has
been deceived as to the real out
put Of the Tampico oil district.
wells go dry faster than new wells
are brought in said Mr.. Phelan.
The Mexican government states that
Mexico has a potential production OF
1000 900 barrels Of oil daily, but |
think the assertion IS not supported
b. facts fear crisis in the oil
supply. Figures given out for the
Tampico district mean little. The
August oil shipments were 100000
barrels, or $50 per cent more thar
August, 1913, and q per cent more
than July, 1920 Oil companies drew
upon their stored supply for these
ehipments and "pinched" wells tc
get ali available petroleum for ship
ment.

Tells About Natural Gas

Pitspurgh, Pa. Oct. THAT nat
ural gas supplies everywhere are d.
minishing, while the number OF con-
sumers is increasing, the cost OF
procuring the natural gas is six times
as great as It was q few years ago,
and the Union Gas company and sub
salaries has been short OF the supply
needed by 30 per cent for the last
three years was the testimony OF
Eugene P. whitcomb. president OF the
Union Gas company before Commits
sioner Levi Cooke. who is taking tes-
timony here for the United States
supreme court in connection with the
suit filed by Pennsylvania and Ohio
against West Virginia 10 prevent the
enforcement of the Steptoe act,
The law in question provides that
natural gas in West Virginia shall be
used only in West Virginia, thus
shutting off the supply now obtained
by Ohio and Pennsylvania. Senator
Fred o. Blue represented West Vir-
ginla, al the hearing while Attorney
Freeman r. Eagleson Of Columbus
Ohio, conducted the direct examination
Of Mr.. Whltcomb.
President W7hitcomb said that he
had no remedy to offer for present
conditions, If no new large sources
of gas supply are found, as natural
gas supply is beginning TO reach the
exhaustion point.
Pittsburgh and other communities
in western Pennsylvania are not the
only sections that would be menaced
II the provisions OF the Steptoe law
are carried out, It is claimed. Dayton,
Lancaster, Sugar Grove and other
points in Ohio also secured natural
gas from West Virginia, as well as a
number OF towns In Indiana.
