WANT EXTRA SESSION.
Ohio Standard Oil Men Desire to Have
Laws Changed to Suit
CLEVELAND, June 13. The Leader
today says:
An extra session of the Ohio Legisla
ture is asked by the independent oil
men of the state. A formal request for
the issuance of a special call is being
prepared for Governor Pattison, while
letters bearing upon the subject are to
be sent out from Cleveland to every
member of the legislature.
Should the special session be called,
the Independent Oil men will urge the
amendment of two laws which they
deem necessary to insure them fair play
as against the Standard Oil Company.
The first is the anti-discrimination law
now in operation in Kansas and Iowa.
The second is the maximum freight law,
which has enabled the independent oper
ators in Kansas to obtain equal rates
from the railroads thus placing them on
the same competitive basis as the vast
combine. ' '
