JULIAN BATTLES
PROBATION RULE

Former Coast Operator

BY FRANK o. HALL

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Aug
| 90. (UPI-C. c. Julian. of "Julial
Pete fame on the Pacific Coast,
continued his battle today against
| Oklahoma oil PROBATION rules as 4
"mattcr of principlc' and to pro
vide "full dinner pail for more
oil field workers.
| Julian won the first phase Of his
| fight against the oil curb late yes
tcrday when the state supreme court
granted him a temporary writ or
prohibition restraining the corpora

will be held then by the court.
Today his two gushcrs i'll the

Julian, in commenting on the pro
ration fight, lamented the hardships
of the oil field workers and sail
that if more could be provided with
full dinner pals, cit would be a
sOlace to our community.
If the corporation commission $
yroration orders were declared void
it would provide labor for more men
and give the independent producer
in the Midcontincnt area an oppor-
tunitv to dispose of his crude oil
in competition with the oil now
cling imported by ma or companies,
Julian said.
Many Workers Idle
In reviewing his past experiences,
Julian, who came to the Oklahoma
City field with the express intention
of staging a comeback in the oil in
Gustrv after the Julian company in
California had become involved in
legal difficulties. said he had never
seen the time ''when so many oil
field laborcrs have been out of
work.
From nv personal knowledge
this condition can only be attributed
TO the fact that major companies can
better fatten their treasures by I'M
porting an over necessary supply OF
crude from foreign countries rather
than absorbing the local produc-
tiou,' he commented.
"Whilc the influence | can bring
to bear is limited, | feel that prece-
