In bis first brief as solicitor, general of tho United States, John W. iJavis vigorously assails the prelimin ary injunction issued on the ground of uncoiiHltutlonallty by the commerce court, nguinst th'i order of the Inter state Com m 'rc Commission, directing pipe lines to file rate tariffs a. com mon carriers. Control of plie line by large In terests w ith ower to cotnp l small producers to sell their oil or wells to pipe line owners at the lattur's price, Is the source of a monopoly, whlis congress aimed to stride by oiienlng the pi pa lines to the reasonable and eqiiltuhltt use of all, contends the soli cltor general. "It Is indisputably clear." ho con tinues, "that the evil aimed at by con gress In making plpa Hues common carriers was the monopoly of the oil business by the Standard Oil com pany, a monoiHily largniy, If not chief ly. due lo tbe ownership or control by that, corporation of BO per'cent of th? pipe lln '8." "It Is Idle to suggest," argued Mr. Davis, "that Individual well owners or refiners ought to build pipe lines of their own. Every fnrmr might equal ly as well construct a railroad and ev ery cottage have Its private gns plant" The pipe lines against which the proceedings are directed are the Stan 1 arj OH company, Standard Oil com pany of Iiulslana, the Ohio Oil com pany, the Prairie Oil and Gas com pany, the Uncle Sam Oil company and Robert 1).
