SUIT AGAINST
OIL COMPANIES
TO BE DROPPED
Master in Chancery Decides
Charges Of Violating Law
(. Are Not Justified

Chicago, Dec. 6.-(AP)-Charges
of violating the Sherman antitrust
law, contained in a federal suit
against the Standard Oil company
and SO other oil Companies, are not
justified and the suit should be
dropped. master in chancery has
recommended to the United States
circuit court of appeals. The suit
was filed three years ago by the
United States department + agri-
culture.
Charles Martindale, the master,
reported there was no evidence Of q
conspiracy in restraint Of trade,
maintenance OF . monopoly, price
fixing. or pooling Of patent rights.
His findings were announced last
night after two years Of testimony
taking and a year in preparing his
38O-pagc report.
Beside the Standard Oil companies
of Indiana, New Jersey, Kentucky.
Kansas. Louisiana, New York, Cali
fornia, and Ohio, the defendants in
cluded the Standard Development
company, the Texas company, the
Sun Oil company, the Skelly Oil
company, the Waite Phillips COM
pany, the Magnolia Petroleum COM
pany, the White Eagle Oil company,
and the Roxona Petroleum corpora
ton.
The master said he found no evil
dence that the defending companies
procured patents to further q con-
spiracy and to "freeze out" compet-
itors, as charged by the govern.
ment. Competition, he said, is &C.
tual and genuine, and the marketing
rivalry keen.

Republicans Meet to
Pick Convention City

Washington, Dec. 6.-.(AP)--The
fight in the Republican national
committee against Chairman Butler
because he declared publicly that he
favored Kansas City for the next
national convention broke out today
Is the committee men began to hear
formal arguments from a dozen
cities seeking the convention.
Two committee men issued state
ments to the effect that it was not
in the province of the chairman to
attempt to swing the convention to
any one city, while headquarters of
Cleveland, Chicago, San Francisco
and other cities in the race expressed
surprise and anger that the chair
man had not remained neutral.
Harrison Garnett, committee man
for North Dakota, an advocate Of
Detroit for the convention, declared
that it was not necessary for any
committee man to follow the sug-
gestion Of Butler and that he was
greatly displeased that the chairman
had shown . preference. James E.
Davidson, national committee man
for Michigan, asserted that Buffers
statement was provoking"
