Discrimination in Sale of Gasoline Charged in Suit Spillman Renews Fight on Oil Companies in Amended Petition Filed « Here. An amended petition in the suit filed last February by the state against - 15 gasoline and oil companies, was filed Thursday in district court by Attorney General Spillman. District Judge Hastings Issued a l temporary restraining order and com manded the defendants to appear in court July 1 to show cause why an injunction should not issue. The suit is. in most respects, like the one filed in Fehfuary, charging conspiracy to fix prices. But this one goes further and attempts to adjust the difference in price of gasoline now existing in various points outside of Omaha. The petition charge* Ghat the al I ~ " - leged conspiracy sought not only to fix a price at which the defendants would sell gasoline, but also the price at which gasoline should be sold by other retailers purchasing from the defendants. It charges that they would refuse to sell gasoline and other products to retailers unless the retailers would agree to sell at the price fixed. If the retailer obtained a supply elsewhere and sought to cut the price, the petition charges, "the defendants would drive out of business such re tailer by offering for sale and selling, in the immediate vicinity of said re tailer's place of business, gasoline and such other products at a price below that at which such retailer was sell ing, and at a price below the fatr market value of such products and at a price below the prices at which defendants themselves were and would be then selling such products at other points or places under like conditions." This section is founded on the "mystery station,” which opened a few weeks ago at Sixteenth and Izard streets and undersold the Elrod cut price filling station across the street. The editor of the Silver Creek Sand admits that he just loves to preach peace—until he loses his temper.
