been trying to rejuvenate the indus
try by limiting production through
the establishment of production al
lowables for the various states. Sew
eral of the independent producers
have refused to abide by his edicts,
however, bectuse they maintain he
had no authority for making them
and because they contend they gave
the larger companies an unfair adj
vantage in the trade. The oil pro-
duced above the alloWables He has
termed hot OIL" and he has eX-
pressed his views Of those who
pump it in no uncertain terms.
In his Dallas address he re-
ferred to them as a contemplate
and lawless minority" as incapable
even of ordinarily decent behavior, "
as stealing their neighborS' oil, as
those who have been engaged in
the crooked business of dealing in
hot oil" and as being engaged in
this rotten hot oil game"
ME- lCKES took occasion also 10
Iva cast reflection on the state of
Texas, where, he claimed, most Of
the trouble with hot oil" producers
exists. In one part of his address
he referred to it as "the land of
alibis." In another he termed it
his empire which calls itself
state"
From there he went into the sub
ject of filling stations, which he
called on one occasion "greaSing
palaces" an don another 'lubrica-
ton emporiumS." At the rate filling
stations are being built" he said, ''it
might be well to adopt the NEGRO
polls type of architecture in antici-
patton of the day, shortly to come,
when groups of filling stations will
be in very truth cities of the dead"
For several months after Secre-
tary Ickes became administrator the
larger companies worked along with
him They thought, evidently, that
he would be able to control the Sit

refused to give him the power he
demanded, deciding, rather, to con-
duct an investigation of its own, and
when, more recently, the govern
ment declined to go through with a
case in the United States supreme
court which would test his author
ity, they withdrew their support,
and, according to latest reports, are
demading interstate compacts.
r ACHING the support now Of al
l. most the entire industry, the
administration is in a rather tough
spot. He would welcome, no doubt,
a chance to retire from the situa-
ton, for it has involved great deal
of work, an OVERLOOKING measure of
grief, plenty of abuse and but little
or not credit. But if he did aban-
don the fight at this time he would
be regarded as a failure, in all prob
ability. He has demonstrated that
he is a warrior of no mean ability,
but yesterdays speech, many people
feel, indicated that he has begun to
crack under the strain.
