OF protecting the independent oil pro-
ducers of tho United States against
what he described as n MONOPOLY by

Dutch Shell Oil companies.
Renewing his charge of a . An
gust that the Standard. Dohcny and
Royal Shell companies were seeking

that tho Standard and Doheny com
panies had acquired the Tea Pot
Dome. in Wyoming, and other valu.
able holdings in California and that
the Standard Of Indiana had acquired
30 per cent of the stock OF the Mid
west Refinery company.
The Oklahoma senator also as.
serted that during the past year

lists did succeed in purchasing the
holdings OF a greet many independ.

same time protect the thousands OF

Mr.. Hsrreld said the fact that the
