BY MARK SULLIVAN. Next Wednesday there will come to a head in Washington one of the ! most important situations bearing upon the future course of bushiess and The officlals of the American Petrol- | eum Institute, comprising nearly .all | the important oil producers in the! United States, are coming to find out, In effect, what will be the attitude of the Government toward an agrees ment they made last week to restrain production. The agreement is, in sub- stance, not to take any more oil out of the ground in 1929 than they took in 1928. ‘The member of the Government upon whom lies the immediate responsibility |for an answer is Secretary of the In- |terior Wilbur, The Interior Depart- ment has custody of most Government oil matters and the Secretary of the Interior is chairmen of the Federal Oil - Conservation Board. The other members are the Secretaries of. War, Navy and Commerce. Secretary Wilbur, in anticipation of the meeting Wednesday, has turned the fundamental question involved over to Attorney General Mitchell. Mr. Mitch- ell has been asked to give an official opinion as to whether the agreement proposed by the oil producers is con- trary to the basic Sherman anti-trust act “and its supplement, the Clayton jact. What Mr. Mitchell will do will be to examine the proposed agreement | and decide whether it violates the which are as foliows: “Every contract combination, in form of trust or otherwise, or- conspir- acy, in restraint of trade or commerce « « is hereby declared illegal.” Decision to Govern Future. | ‘Whether the language of the agree- | ment is contrary to the language of the | anti-trust act is a’purely legal question. | If Mr. Mitchell says “Yes, it is a vio- | lation,” then, obviously, the agreement falls. No group of business men would go on in violation of law, and no ad- ministration could afford to let 'them. There would remain, however, the quite different matter of policy. As a| matter of policy, the Government long has favored conservation of oil, and! there can be no doubt that this agree- ment is, among other things, an act| of conservation. Competition in the | procuction of ofl does lead to deplorable waste of a precious natural resource. present methods of capturing our ofl | deposits are wasteful to an alarming | degree.” Persons with no financial in- | terest in oil, such as geologists and'! { bers will be flown during the remainder anti-trust act, the essential Words Of | mmme [G_STAR, WASHINGTON, D...C > anti-trust staute %-e count of this distinction.

Plugs ! From the viewpoint of public opinion into your light as a whole, and of politics, however, socket. . there are two diffculties, ‘The anti- S trust law is one the statute books and ought not to be violated. In.the second place, it will be assumed that the pro- posed limitation of production probably will lead to the consuming public pay- ing a higher price for oil and gasoline than it.otherwise would. This will be | anticipated, even though the oil pro- | { ducers carefully abstain, as it can be (] . assumed they will abstain, from any agreement to raise or fix prices. * Price Wars Detrimental. Under- the extreme competitive con- !dition now existing -in ojl production, ;pnu-cuttlng wars take place. While these wars last, the public often gets its -oil and'gas at less ‘than cost. Re- cently, in such a price-cutting war in California, gesoline was sold to' con- sumers at 8 cents’a gallon; plus the tax of 3 cents. This abnormal advan- tage to the public is temporary, and | from the permanent point of view is a disadvantage, because waste necessarily leads to an earller diminution of the ! natural supply and fo a period of ex- | cessively high prices. Everybody concerned in the confer- ence at Washington on Wednesday is | aware of the -conflicting ‘principles in- volved, and of the difficulty of the prob- | lem. The oil producers have been care- ’Iul to avoid the spirit of conspiracy. j They have kept the Federal Govern- ment and the Stste governments in- formed of each move.
