Major oil companies reduced
prices of crude oil 20 cents bar
rel last week. Railroad commits
sion ordered Wells in Teras closed
for IS days in effort to stabilize
prices and further shutdown in
other States 1Das decided on yes
terday at meeting in Oklahoma
City.
By the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 10
More than half the countrys crude
oil supply was cut off today as three
States took the lead in a fight
against threatened collapse OF the
industry's price structure.
Following an historic meeting of
the Oil Compact Commission yes
terday, New Mexico and Oklahoma
joined with Texas to close down
las 200 wells producing more than 81
per cent of the country's output.
Today, at the recommendation of
Gov. Payne Rather. the Kansas Cor
poration Commission ordered that
States 1928 flush and stripper oil
wells shut down at noon for period
of Is days.
Crude oil prices began to topple
last week as the Sinclair Prairie Co.
posted a general 20-cent-per-barrel
cut and some of the smaller COM
panies followed suit
A collapse of the whole structure
began when the Humble Oil &, Re-
f1ning Co. reduced prices from S to
80 cents a barrel in Texas.
The ultimate effect of the shut
downs on the price of gasoline was
uppermost in the minds of the Ma
tion's motorists. Some oil men pre-
dicted an early increase.
Officials of the cooperating States
banked on a depletion of crude
stocks to force the price of oil back
up to ST barrel.
Observers were not able to deter
mine at once how many employees
would be affected, since many were
being given vacations with pay,
some half-time pay. Many firms
said they would have their men
clean up and recondition properties
during the period.
First Shutdown Attempt.
1t was the first shutdown of the
midcontinent area ever attempted
on such a wide scale Only certain
fields have been closed in the past.
The oil compact itself took no di-
rect part in the shutdown maneu-
vers. Representatives met for two
hours yesterday and then announced
each State would handle its own
particular problem in its particular
way"
Gov Leon C. Phillips Immediately
announced the 15-day shutdown of
Oklahoma's wells at am. today,
and a few hours later Gov. John E.
Miles of New Mexico said he would
issue a 15-day closing proclamation
today.
Gov. Earl K. Long was consider
ing a Today close-in of Louisiana S
wells. He wired the compact COM
mission:
Were willing to do what we can
to help.
States represented at the confer
ence produce 77.44 per cent of the
Nations oil.
Accuses Standard Oil.
AS the shutdown orders were be-
ing issued, Jerry Sadler, Texas rail-
road commissioner, charged that
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey was
operating in Texas in violation OF
antitrust laws and asked Attorney
General Gerald c. Mann to investi-
gate. Sadler turned over to Mann
a photostatic copy of what he said
was a contract between the Stand
