CUTS IN GAS DUE
 ID OVER SUPPLY
Oil Companies Explain RedQc'
 tiOn as Natural

New York. Aug. 2i R-The "bootlegger" has entered the gaso- line business as factor in automo- bile feul prices.
 Eastern oil companies. In explain ing gasoline price reductions re- vealed today that so-called boot leggers" in the trade were under selling the regular dealers and con- tributing 10 the general price re- auctions.
 Their activities thus far are upon a small scale. The principal reason for the price war" in the east and recent reductions Is a Tremendous overproduction," coupled with the important fact that Europe is buy ing less gasoline from American concerns, according to the oil au- thorities
 Department of Commerce Figures
 Department of commerce figures tend to support this contention. For the first six months of this year, b,202,3S1.919 gallons of gasoline were produced. The consumption was 4,240,O02,o42 gallons: the amount exported 650,497,SSl gal Ions and the amount imported S4,- SSS,059 gallons. The total stocks in storage totaled 5o6,2so,555 gallons
 There are two classes of bootleg gers in the gasoline trade. The first class are called "crackers'. These increase the volume of ordinary gas by heating 1t to certain tem- perature at which point the mixture is broken down or "cracked,' The process increases the volume but makes the gasoline inferior.
 The second class are branded as plain "gyps." By "skimmins" a mixture of gasoline and kerosene from crude oil they get great deal of volume cheaply. These concerns operate when the crude oil prices are comparatively low and the prices of gasoline at the refinery high.
 Then, when there Is an unusually "nide spread" between prices at the refinery and prices, at the tank wag- or,s, a third class of temporary con cerns springs up. These buy al the refinery and sell direct to retail deal CTS under the market tank wagon pllce.
 Asked regarding price fixing, the officials pointed out that this was impossible because of competition and because the production cannot be controlled,
 The pumping of oil at the wells cannot be stopped without serious loss, 1t vas said and so production continues at an increasing rate de- spite the fluctuations of the demand, If ono concern should stop the flow of oil for a period, rival concern, pumping from adjacent oil lands but from the same oil "pool' under around would secure the major DOT tion of the oil in that section,
 With the flow of oil continuing unbroken. the storage tanks at the refneries soon become filled, and the gasoline must be dumped some where. Price reductions must tol- low to enable the rehneIleS to lui II ever their stock.
 Sometimes it is the independent jobber that leads the way in price reductions, the officials said. Occa sionally ons of the larger companies overloaded because their export business has fallen off (which Is a factor in present reductions) reduc- ed the price,
 As rule because of the keen competition, a pfice reduction by one concern forces other oil com penies to meet the reduction'
