War Plans May Have Boosted Gas and Oil Here
In Philadelphia on July 20, a legislative investigating committee heard testimony that Europe war preparations raised gas and oil prices in Pennsylvania. William D. Anderson of Atlantic Refining reported a roughly 40 percent rise in exports, mainly to Italy, Germany, and Spain, causing tanker shortages. Charles Finley of the State Revenue Department said W. P. Taylor of the Associated Petroleum Industries invited him to a conference about price postings. Taylor denied inviting Finley for cocktails and denied coordinating anti-regulation bulletins. Finley asserted the industry resisted state regulation, while Taylor claimed no difference between oil and other industries on regulation. John McComb cited a newspaper editorial supporting similar arguments.
