EAST TEAS OPERATORS SHUT DOWN W1IIS Kilgore, Aug, clamped the lid on America's most productive oil field today without resilience. Operators of approximately 1,600 oil and wells in the vast East Texas oil field voluntarily ceased operations as Governor shut-down order was made known to them. Brig Gen. Jacob F. Wolters, in command of 800 Guardsmen camped in the area said his men would spread through the area tomorrow and establish permanent posts Gen.

Wolters Informed Governor Sterling that the move to halt waste of natural resources and end production was progressing smoothly. Operators throughout the area were falling in line with the! Governor's plan and awaiting developments. a difficult situation. Martial law became effective at 6 a. m.

today. Guardsmen were loaded into motor buses at Tyler early this morning and moved to Kilgore, Gladewater, Overton and other strategic points. Average daily production in the East Texas field has climbed as high as 750,000 barrels daily recently. Producers exerted every effort to their wells at capacity in the brief period before the new conservation law would curtail production. General Wolters is a general attorney for the Texas Corporation in private life.

Wolters for the purpo.se of outlining the situation and requesting obedience.

Reports indicated that the Humble Ol Refning Company, which controls 16 per cent of the 2,815 square-mile field; The Texas Company; Sinclair Oil and aGs Company, which has been accused of being one of the worst violators of the ration orders; The Shell Company and the Weaver-Crim interests, had completely shut down their wells. A number of producers, under contract to supply large amounts of oil, asked that written copies of the shut-down order be given them for protection. Their request was granted. The shutdown is throwing many workers out of employment. Most of the men affected are transients who will be in serious financial straits.

Citizens of Kilogore and neighboring towns expressed anxiety as to how they would meet the unemployment situation. Men not engaged in producing operators were not affected by the shutdown. Men employed in producing are being laid off in nearly every instance. Tidal Oil Company officials announced that employes would be retained, but they have a relatively small number of men. Approximately 10.000 oil field workers have been employed laborers in the entire East Texas field.

In commenting on his move today, Governor Sterling said he would lift martial law as soon as it was prudent to do so. He explained that would not be until the railroad commission meets Aug. 25 and issues a new proration order under the conservation bill passed by the Legislature last week, Due to the fact that 10 notice must be given before the railroad meeting, that body will be unable to gainer before Aug 25. The Governor pointed out that the shutdown in Texas and Oklahoma would take about 1. 000,000 barrels of oil from the rdarket daily He said that much of the oil was purchased at high prices and that the companies would not use it until prices rise.

With increased prices, the revenue will increase be- The pipe storage was 49.403 barrels, daily average runs of 14 lines 446.150 barrels. Dailyaverage consumption of the 11 East Texas refineries was 40,541 barrels. The shutdown order will not interfere with pipe line operators or the transfer of oil by rail. The East Texas Held last week was 738.000 barrels, considered an all time record. At Longview in a meeting with operators General Wolters stood with folded arms and delivered a terse ultimatum that unless all production ceases by noon tomorrow the jail for those who realize WoHers told about 50 operators "what a job it will be, but we are going to put it over.

Governor Sterling had no doubt about the shut down bringing an increase in the crude oil price in the Mid-Continent area. Many oil operators heartily agreed with him in this. Others were not certain what the effect would be. Among the State legislators a strong sentiment in favor of the action seemed to predominate Representative Pat Adams of Jasper said the move was necessary untij the new conservation law can be put into effect Sinclair would drain thousands of barrels of oil from the field within the next 10 days if allowed to do he said. is one of the best moves the Governor has Representative Bailey Hardy of Brackenridge criticized the Governor, saying Sterling had let the matter hang fire while the Legislature was in session Hardy said the Governor appeared to be trying to do with military force what the people, through Legislature, denied him the right to do Representative La.
