named, it being the opinion general
Nv that this would have the effect
OF better attendance than II all meet

The concensus OF opinion among
the salesmanagers was that there has
been lack of cooperation as TO
methods of marketing in the past,
which the organization hopes to
overcome, and 1t was the firm belief
Of those present that this association
will mean greater efficiency and
larger profits to the midcontinent re-
fining industry. II was also felt that
prices Of petroleum products have
been ruinously low, and the best
method to cure this condition was
for the greater diffusion of informa-

Sitting Steady in the Boat

The Midcontinent' Oil & Gas as
sociation's committee on conserva-
ton and conciliation desires to call
the attention OF the oil producing
fraternity TO certain salient features
OF the present situation with the
purpose of clearing the atmosphere
OF any erroneous Impressions that
may be prevalent. This committee
has now functioned for two weeks
and desires to express It's gratifica-
ton and appreciation of cooperation
II has received. This co-operationhas
been furnished in equal degree by
the larger and smaller operators.
All factiops, IL il may be said that
there are factions in the oil in
dustTy, have a disposition to seek
the advice OF the committee and be
governed accordingly. There have
beeu no rank violations OF the plan
promulgated on February "a and in
the few instances where wells
drilled in were not offset there were
certain eXtenuating circumstances
In a business 80 hazardous. sensitive
and complicated as the oil produc-
ing business no set and rigid rules
will work successfully without some
sacrifice on the part OF many and
perhaps dire injury to Few. The
committee in the plan was given
the right under paragraph "F' to
grant relief in cases of particular
hardships. but II has only been
called upon to exercise this juris-
dic,lon in one or two cases. On the
whole the committee feels that this
is the greatest and most successful
cooperative movement ever staged
or carried out by the oil producing
N industry in the United States.
The committee wishes to empha-
size al this time the necessity for
continuing the curtailment OF drill
ing operations for such length of
time as the development may indi-
cate 10 be necessary. The situation,

was generally realized. Certain
