Seek Law To Place Com

san FRANCISCO, Sept. 16. U.P)
Two new factors entered the gas
oline situation today with result
that efforts by four major com
panies to stabilize prices by an in
crease OF one cent per gallon failed,
temporarily at least
Sterilization was attempted by
the Standard. Shell Union and
Richfield oil companies through an
increase of one cent per gallon in
price but overnight the following
comPlicating factors arose:
l. The government victory III
its suit to halt alleged price fix
ing among the major oil companies.
>. Opposition to the price in
crease by the members of the Re
tail Service Station Dealers Asso-
citation.
The association, a; meeting
Monday night, went on record as
opposed to the increase. Operators
Of station now owned or under con
tract to major companies declared
they win continue to sell for 20
cents.
Under the consent decree OBJ
tanned by the government from Is
major oil companies that were be
ing prosecuted, they cannot refuse
to sell gasoline to Il dealer, no mat
ter at what price he rctails it, nor
in any other way attempt 70 set
price level.
Meanwhile, three of the major
firms had not boosted their retail
price These arc Associated, Gener-
al and Texas Co. 1t was believed
that the Texas Company will not

two was believed likely.
Another important move taken by
the retail dealers was the decision
to circulate a petition among motor
lists which will ask the next state
legislature if it is possible legally
to enact law putting the oil com
panies under the jurisdiction of the
