No Monopoly In Oil “I am told that the Standard Oil Company has practically al! the refineries. Is this true?” a correspondent asks the Oil and Gas Journal. Reply is made in issue cf June 19, as follows: “it certainly is not. In the first place when you mention the Standard Oil Company you are speaking of several companies which, since the dissolution decree United States Supreme Court of 1911, are as separate in their ownership and control as any of the several thousand oil companies which operate in the United States. “No company bearing the name of ‘Standard’ including its subsidiary organizations has more than 11 refineries in the United States. There are several of the so called ‘independent’ companies which’have from 5 to 9 refineries. According to the Oil and Gas Journal’s compilation of May 1, there are 574 refineries in tne United States of which 382 were operating on that date. Os this number only 39 belong to the several Standard Oil Companies and their subsidiary organizations. Thus you see that approximately only 1 out of 15 refineries belong to the Standard Companies ” The Standard Oil Companies loom much larger in the public mind than is warranted by the percentage of their refineries as compared with all other oil companies. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has but six refineries — Whiting, Indiana; Sugar Creek, Missouri; Wood River, Illinois; Casper, Wyoming; Greybull, Wyoming: and Laramie, Wyoming. The oil industry of today is of such vast proportions as almost to defy figures. Perhaps that is why it appeals so strongly to the imagination. As the oil industry is organized today, a monopoly in oil, whether crude or refined, is beyond possibility. The industry is too enormous for dictation by any one company or any group of companies. It is too big and too varied for “understandings”. It is too big for anything but the keenest sort of competition, and for the winning and holding of business through service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is strictly a competitive organization of service. That it is able to compete profitably with other oil companies is due solely to its initiative in invention and processes, and to its superior oil'n?<^u.

with tho lain. Mr. Stephenson is a member of tho Washington staff of The American Press. He formerly was assistant sporting editor of The Indianapolis Star.

"The contest was staged in Potomac Park, near the White House. The President and Mrs. Coolidge heard about the game and decided it would bo good fun. They watched three innings of the comedy of errors. wild pitches and passed balls. They grinned broadly at the misplays. There was no good ones to applaud. ‘ But the newspapermen and photographers didn't mind it a bit because the President laughed nt their burlesque performance on the diamond. They voted him a good sport for attending the game. They felt rewarded, too, for sore arms and sunburned faces when the President obligingly consented to pose with them for a group photograph. The President left at the end of the third inning with the score something like 14 to 4 in favor of tl: > newspaper men. The final score is unknown. “Attending the game called to the President's mind his baseball experiences when he was a Vermont farmer lad. Neighbor boys were so scarce in the hills that usually only enough players were availabe to play three-o-cat,” a batter, catcher and pitcher with each payer taking his turn at one of these positions. He played on a “nine” later when he attended an academy before entering Amherst College.”
