Texas National Guard troops leave East Texas oil field
Tyler Texas dispatch says Texas National Guard troops evacuated the East Texas Oil field after a one month occupation to enforce controlled production. They entered August 17 1931 under Gov Ross S Sterling and left with three injunction suits filed in U S District Court challenging the proration orders by the Texas Railroad Commission. The commission halted flows from over 9000 wells until January 1 to gauge pressure under a new proration schedule considering per well allowance acreage and bottom hole pressure. The move follows U S Supreme Court ruling that Sterling exceeded authority in sending troops to enforce proration by force.
