r.. ID. Parker. chief supervisor or
the oil and gas division OF the rail-

during the inquiry into this phase
or the problem.
Parker said he did not know who
fixed the price OF oil. He was asked
by Rep. Harry Graves OF George
town. II the major companies did
nc. follow suit In price reduc-
tons and raises. Parker answered
that when one company cut. the
others usually followed and that
when y raised the price, the same
condition prevailed.
Parker Quizzed
This might be a conclusion that
the price was fixed by concerted
action but I have no facts on which
to base the opinion" Parker said,
adding Ii had been reported 10 him
that much OF the oil In east Texas
was being bought by the majors on
contract from brokers and not on
a posted price.
Parker was quizzed at length con-
corning operations OF pipe line COM
panieS affiliated or owned by pro-
ducing and marketing companies.
Several of the major oil companies
make most or their earnings In pipe
line operations while showing "a loss

and Refining company as an ex-
ample. saying its report showed
earnings Of 10000. 900 on pipe line
operations and a loss OF $1,000, 900
on marketing operations.
Have Advantage
Companies owning their own
lines have a distinct advantage over
operators who have no t~ransporta-
tion medium, haven't they?"
Graves asked.
They have Parker replied.
He vas then asked how the pipe
line rates were set. Parker explain
