GASOLINE DATA OUT TOO
SOON FROM REPORT
WASHINGTON, D. C.,—Officials
of the federal Irade commission were
i displeased to read in the papers Mon
! day morning a forecast of their pas
oline investigation report indicating
that the information disclosed by the
hearings would not warrant prosecu
tion of the oil men. They immedi
ately started to search to find out
where the information had “leaked,"
as the commission’s findings are sup
posed to be confidential until formal
ly made public.
Nobody in authority could be found
at the offices of the •commission who
would discuss the story further than
| to say that some of it was accurate
j and some of it inaccurate. It would
be several days before the report
would be transmitted to the Senate,
it was stated.
The story said that the commission
had concluded that gasoline could be
sold profitably at 17 cents a gallon,
but that while prices from 22 to 27
cents were unreasonable, they were
not in violation of any federal stat
utes. It stated also that the commis
sion had found that about 20 direct
ors control the various companies
j that sell gasoline.
Commissioners Hurley, Harris and
Rublee are out of the city.
