creases in the prices of gasoline
which were recently reduced, loom
ed today with a meeting of the board
of directors of the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana, called to con-
slider the action of Governor w. H.
McMaster of South Dakota in rails
ing gasoline prices in that state
from 16 cents to 20 cents, effective
Saturday.
The whole gasoline price question
revolves about the South Dakota sit
uation just as it did when the orig
lnal reduction made on Monday was
followed by cuts in price in all parts
of the country, in the opinion of Col.
r. w. Stewart, chairman of the di-
rectorate. He declared the action of
the South Dakota executive proved
the contention of the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana that conse-
quences had not been considered nor
expert advice asked when the gov
ernor cut prices from 26 to 16 cents.
He intimated that the company may
take advantage of Governor Nc
Masters action, which came after !
conference with independent pro-
ducers yesterday, and set prices
higher than 20 cents.

Meantime, the name Of a certain
