 BY BIC OPERATORS
Senator Curtis Charges That Government Control De-
 mand Is Result

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Powerful financial interests in Wall street are juggling o,, prices In "one of the most whole sale stock jobbing cam paigns In history" Senator Curtis, republican of Kansas, charged In a statement.
 The demad for government control of the oil industry, such as is pro- posed by Senator LaFollette. Is strengthened by the market raid of big operators. he believes.
 When the present series of price slashes began, 1t was said in Wall street that the big oil interests were starting war to force the smaller in dependents to the wall. Senator Curtis haee received many com plaints from small oil men in Kan sas and Oklahoma regarding Wall street manipulation.
 Curtis said It Is being openely charged that "the son of a very wealthy oil man" has been one of those behind the present situation.
 Certain stock jCbbers have been systematically placed in possession of advance information regarding the reductions to be made in the price crude and refined oil" Curtis said. Instead of one cut In crude oil prices to meet changed conditions Tn the idnustry, there were many cuts so timed as tL aid in stock market operations, and 1t is alleged that advance information was re- ceived by several brokerage firms
 ''The result has been disastrous to thousands of people without tusti- ficatIon other than the desire of a few. men to wiring illegitimate profits thrtu ugh what Is described as one of the most wholesale stock jobbing in history. If the petro leum industry is to be subjected to the whims of stock market operators some means must. be found to stop such practices"
