Miss Coulson came across the By the Associated Press. i NEW YORK, June 27.—Wall Street, still buzzing with excited discussion of the drastic code which the oil incustry adopted under the national industrial Tecovery act, views it as a triumph for | the “little fellow.” [ Representatives of important oil in- terests are astonished at the dramatic manner in which regulations were adopted, which, they say. largely em- body the views cf the “small man.” as distinct from the large companies. Expected to Get Sanction. The code is in the hands of Hugh S. Johnson, administrator of _industrial Tecovery, and is expected to receive his sanction soon It is designed to elim- inate price-cutting methods The meeting which adopted the code was originally called by C. E. Arnott. head of the Socony Vacuum Co. He acted as chairman of a committee ap- pointed by the American Petroleum In- stitute to “obtain the views” of mar- keters. The response was so overwhelming, executives say, and the demand for immediate action so insistent that the giant companies—vastly outnumbered in voting power—were forced into line. Rebellion of Small Men. What happened back of the scenes, Just disclosed here, constitutes a story of the rebellion of the small business man against price-cutting by large competitors, which, it was contended, made profitable operations impossible. Leader of the forces for wholesale re- form was Barney Majewski, president of the Deep Rock Oil Co. of Chicago, hitherto a somewhat obscure figure. His thundering argument routed the | suave legal talent of the industry’s large units. It was Majewski and his followers, officials say, who forced the inclusion of the price-fixing rule, number 34. Price-Fixing Rule. i “What is true of selling crude petro- Jeum below the cost of production,” says this rule, “is also true of selling the refined products thereof below cost; and the President is requested, upon the recommendation of the Emergency Na- tional Committee, to establish from time to time minimum and maximum prices for motor fuel and any other products of petroleum, the prices of which the committee decides should be fixed for the different localities of the United States in relation to such base points as the committee may indicate; | and the President is also requested, upon the recommendation of the Emer- gency National Committee, to establish such margins between delivered cargo or tank car prices on the one hand and | tank wagon and consumer prices on the other hand as may seem just and equitable.” Certain interests believe an attempt will still be made to modify the price- fixing regulations, but ultimate opera- tion of the code in its present form is generally expected.
