CLEVELAND, Dec. 28.-The or
ganized oil industry today declared
war on gasoline "bootleggers' who
are estimated to earn $50,000,O00 an
nually through evasion of state
gasoline tax laws.
Local and interstate committees
will be organized to combat the &C
tivities of this new racket, an
nounced w. T. Holiday, president
of the Standard Oil Company Of
Ohio, and vice-president OF the
American Petroleum Institute, in
charge of the marketing division.
The new type of bootleggers de-
rives enormous revenues, Holiday
said, by abusing refund and exemp-
ton privileges, adulterating motor
fuel with nontaXable products,
trucking across state lines, diverting
ostensible out-of state shipments to
same state and through false bills
of lading, false tax returns and
dummy" sales corporations.
