I HAjN FRANCISCO, Juno 14 P An Immediate reduction of three I cents In gasoline prices at pumps In California, Oregon, Washington, I Nevada and Hawaii, was announc- , eel today by three major oil com Panics In what wiw generally re- garded as inception of a gasoline price war. Reduction of gasoline prices from 20 to 17 cents by the Texas company was followed by the Standard Oil and Klchftcld com panies in the Bay region. A similar reduction in other Pacific coast territory was also authorized by the parent firms. Two other large oil companies were expected to meet tho cut Sunday. The reduction to retailers from refineries look the form of a di rect cut in the wholesale rate in stead of a rebate as in former price wars. KxcesB stocks on hand at refineries and sporadic price cutting by independent dealers on the Pacific coast was given as tho reason for the Texas company's action. Kollowing tho announcement yesterday by the Texaco OH com-, pnny that it had lowered Its gaso line price t'0 220 per gallon, It was not long until other companies in Medford followed tho load. The price cut 1m general the length of the coast and does not Involve any local situation, being governed principally by tho law of supply and demand.

If returns tries to get across with n few bot tles under his rain coat,"sald Col.; PIckert today, "hut that Is an en tirely different proposition from the smuggling of thousands of cass a month." Col. PIckert isn't sure yet whe ther it Is a pormancnt peace or an enforced armistice in the liquor war zone. "Of course.' he said, "wo don't know whether they are going to reform or try something else. "There were at least 10,000 men In the rum running racket. " tho collector declared In answer . to a question, "and T should way that at least 0.000 of them lived on the U, S. side of tho border." Three weeks ago these men were, engaged, so far as their starting point, Canada, was concerned. In n perfectly legitimate business. They registered their whisky, wine, beer and gin for export with tho Canad ian government.. Their activities tho Canadian side of tho bojZiv. wore open and above-hoard. Amer ican customs officers stood on their own side, of the river and watched their movements. It was only when the runners' boats cross ed the imaginary line In the mid dle of the river that they were forced to play hide and seek with the officers a game In which tho stakes were largo and the hazards great. "During .the Inst month of su?h operations' thw ' runners Tegistorud' 3 5,600 cases of whisky for export and got Into tlje United States wi;h a great deal of it. This was the low mark of the industry. In Mnv, 1020, before tho customs blockade was so well organized nnd before tho threat of Canadian interference loomed, 118.000 cases wcro ship ped. "It's all different now," said Coi. PIckert. "There are other tilings t-j look after now, liquor Is contra band, like narcotics and aliens. We still have tho aliens as a big prob lem. There are thousand of them In Canada waiting for a chance P sneak In. Then there Is regular commercial smuggling of furs and other articles to be combatted." STATE BY INSPECTORS CORVALM8, Or..
