Casper oil interests, COM
prising representatives of all
the leading companies of the
state in ali probability will be
called into convention in Cas-

to enter a protest from Wyoming
over the elimination OF petroleum
from tariff protected industries.
Arrangements for the convention
are now in the hands OF officers of
the chamber OF commerce and other
civic organizations here. 1t is prob.
able that the procedure of the SON
vention will follow on a similar line
to conventions of oil men being held
IN every producing district in the
country.
The necessity for protecting the
American market from Mexican fuel
will put up strongly to the congress.
sional representatives OF each of the
states affected.
As evidence Of the need for imme-
diate protection OF Americas oil in
dustry it was cited today by oil men
here that a new field was opened up
in Mexico recently and that the pro-
duction OF the first three weeks COM
pleted was sos, 200 daily. The con.
gested conditions of the petroleum
market and slight demand for refined
products was also cited as another
reason for the demand for protec-
