HARDING'S POLY ONOIL CHALLENGED “BY INDEPENDENT YS Charged With Reversing == Roosevelt, Who Broke Up Lease Evils. (Spectal to the Evening World.) WASHINGTON, D. C., May 12— ith the opponents of the Tea Pot me Oil investigation trying to de- lay the starting of the Congressional juiry, additional interest was cre- to-day by statements contained In a formal protest filed with the nate by the Natonal Association of Independent Oll Producers, The In- Mepéendent producers of eight States We joined “in the challenge to the jew policy of the administration on he ‘national resources and ask for full and complete probe of all the ‘Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Pennayl- vania and Wyoming. The associa- tion is composed of practically all independent producers and prospec- tors and includes virtually all United States oll companies not subsidiaries of Standard Oll. The objections of the independent producers is on three grounds 1. Against the policy of the Secre- tary of the Interjor and the Secretary of the Navy in opening the naval re- serves at this time for exploitation, 2, Against the method of leasing public land without competitive bid- ding, a8 exemplified in the recent con- tract entered into (Teapot Dorhe) be- tween Secretary Fall of the Interior and Secretary Denby of the Navy and private interests, 8. Against the policy of any depart- ment of the’ Government of the United States entering into a contract of any character whatsoever, whether competitive or not, which would tend to continue or perpetuate a monopo- listic control of the oil industry of the United States or create a monopoly of the sale of fuel oll and refined oil to the navy or uny other department of the Government. Some of the reasons which the in- dependent oll producers cite as the basis of their protests are “There exists no emergency or cessity which would warrant the opening of the naval reserves for ex- ploitation at thix time in order that the navy might be supplied with the various grades of oil required by it, ne- 1 tar ip years and there fs an abundant supply.”’ The Independent Assocation, in its protest, reviews the old fight to pre- vent monopolistic grabbing of oil re- * in Indian lands, and shows der Roosevelt, the policy wax adopte executive order, of limit. ing individual leases to a maximum of 4,800 ac land, thus protecting small producers, and cites the single exception in the Osage Nation, by which all leases were to be granted to the highest bidder at publi¢ sale, Un- der the amendment {t 1s shown that In recent weeks the sum of $2,600,000 was paid for a single lease of 820 acres, with a continued royalty of one-sixth gross production, The pur- pose in citing this example Is to show the effort of an alleged monopoly to stifle competition. The question is asked, Can there be one pdlicy of public good applied to one reserve and a different policy to another? The Secretary of the In- terior is now in the position of hav- ing one policy in Wyoming and an- other in Oklahoma with reference to Indian lands.” The protest ts filed by W. H. Gray, President of the National Association of Independent Ol Producers, with the statement that he had been em- powered to appoint a committee to aid the Senate Committee on Public Lands to investigate public leases, The investigation ordered by the La Follette resolution has not yet be- EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1922." ator Shortridge, Republican, of Call- fornia, and Myers, Democrat, of Montana ortridge fs an Adminis- tration porter of* dyed-in-the- wool vari The committee did not approve the sub-committee ar- range nd some of its members to Insist om @ full com- hearing. —~<—____.

More than 1,000 Brooklynites were marooned on Williamsburg Bridge last night between 5.30 and 6 o'clock, when a Third Avenue surface car was derailed at a point above Ridge Street and fourteen heavily laden cars of the same line lined up behind tt, Fire followed the derailment, caused by torn insulation on @ feed wire, and for another thirty minutes trains of Broadway-Jamaica and the Metro- Politan Ridgewood lines were out of service, Bergt.

The two policemen found excited and angry passengers pouring from cars to the bridge structure, having compelled conductors to open the doors. Curran and Leslie ordered the pas- sengers to form in line two abreast and marched them in military forma- tion to the Manhattan exit, where they were met by Sergt. Herving. Many were indignant at having been paraded to Manhattan when they wished to go to Brookiyn and de- manded explanations. Herving mount- ®d a granite block at the base of a bridge pillar and cupping his hands made a speech. He sald: / “|the B. R.
