 Of Trade at Fort Worth

Fort Worth, Tex. April 19 Rl- Delegates to the first annual con- rention of the Independent Petro- leum Association of America were working today on a program seeking tariff on oil and plans for a domestic campaign against foreign importers.
 Preliminaries were put behind yesterday at a meeting of directors and officers of the association with officers and directors of affiliated state associations, in preparation for Eopenins today of the convention proper.
 Directors of the association voted unanimously to postpone action on q legislative program which would effect further operation until after the amount of oil imported had been reduced to it's 1928 level or until a tariff of s1 barrel on crude and 50 per cent ad valorem on refined products had been made effective.
 Speaking of curtailment laws pro- posed, Wirt Franklin of Ardmore, Okla. president of the independents, said If the powers that be want re- duction let them put their own house in order by curtailing imports
