Baker Points Oil Loopholes
Former secretary of war Newton D. Baker told an oil code hearing that the proposed code would let large oil firms use the lease and agency system to dodge minimum wage and maximum hours rules. Texas AG James V. Allred announced investigations into reports that West Texas pools paid about 40 percent less for oil than similar quality from other fields, affecting state university and public school system revenues. He named Humble, Royal Dutch Shell, Gulf Oil, and Texas Oil Co as major buyers alleged to set lower prices despite higher transport costs.
