Obey Oklahoma Order, But
Legality Is Doubted in
Area Affected.
By the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY. July 23.—011
operators In the Seminole field of Okla
homa were reported today to be ob
serving a temporary order of the State
Corporation Commission prohibiting
drilling and shooting of wells in cer
tain parts of the field, although sharp
difference of opinion as to the legality
; of the commission’s action had devel
i oped.
C. C. Childers, member of the com
mission, announced he would not sign
the order, issued last Thursday by the
two other commissioners, Fred Cap
shaw, chairman, and Frank Carter.
Van Avoid Waste.
Childers declared he did not believe
the commission should take any action
as long as operators could handle,
! without waste, all of the oil produced
in the field, which is producing about
one-fifth of the total output of the
. Nation.
No efforts had been made to test the
authority of the commission, although
a protest had been filed by the Gypsy
Oil Co., declaring the order uncon
stitutional.
The attitude of authorities and oil
interests seemed to be that the order,
returnable August 5, was temporary
and that it would stand until perma
nent regulations are attempted.
Experts Testify.
Oil experts testified before the com
mission that excessive production in
the Seminole field had upset market
conditions and that waste was prob
able, unless some means were used to
force all of the operators there to
abide by a decision of 17 companies to
limit the output.
