Meanwhile the Federal Government did not raise a finger against the Murray order in Oklahoma, but, instead, pointed one of scorn and reproach at Texas and its unregulated oil production. The new East Texas field was bringing in close to 600.000 bbl. per day. Operators there were selling their product at 10? and 15? per bbl., so low that Oklahoma refiners could buy and transport it to their plants at less than the local price (50?) which Governor Murray's order was designed to double.
