NRA OIL CODE FAILS TO ORDER PRICE FIXING Major Companies Program Also Hit in Decision Against Licensing. BY MARSHALL M NEIL Timn sp-rial W riter WASHINGTON. Aug. I.—The oil states may produce as much oil as j they care to under the petroleum production code drafted by NRA. But the federal government, protecting all states, will step in and telll them how much they can send across thenr borders. These states will learn from an unbiased federal agency the facts regarding national production and consumption. They may be guided by them or not. If they produce more oil than they can consume at home or export under federal regulation, they will be permitted to "stew in their own oil.” j Thus Hugh Johnson, recovery administrator. explained the production code to sweltering oil men gathered in the ornate flag-draped United States Chamber of Commerce auditorium. Oil Men to Talk Tonight Tonight the oil men will be , given a chance to talk; to protest 1 or acclaim the NRA plan for regu- ' lating their industry. The NRA oil code was a blow to the program of the American Petroleum Institute, which is dominated by the major companies, for I it contained no provisions for price fixing or licensing, those items that Harrv Sinclair is reported to have wanted so badly. It does not provide for regulation ,of petroleum production from above, from Washington, except where oil enters into interstate j commerce. It does not require that 1 the wildcatter in Texas, Oklahoma ! or California has to come to Washington and say, “Please, Mr. President, may I dig a well?” , Lease System Is Considered And of particular importance to motorists everywhere it is silent on i the -lease and agency" system i whereby major companies control filling stations to the detriment, so they claim, of the independent producers, refiners and marketers. But General Johnson explained this: The case for ahd against the j "lease and agency” system is before I the federal trade commission. The j President will ask that a report be made within thirty days. If the trade commission finds the system is an unfair trade practice, it will be outlawed without NRA stepping in. If it approves the system, the oil code drafters may decide on their 1 own whether to include any menI tion of it. Forty-Hour Week Provided As to labor, the code carries out the agreement reported last week: For reduction, refining, drilling and pipe line operations, fortyhour week for clerical employes and i thirty-six hours for others, with the right to work a maximum of forty hours per week for any sixweek period within any twenty-six-week period, but not more than eight hours a day. Minimum rates of pay have a regional spread of ! from 45 to 55 cents per hour.
