Opinion
No. 7351.
May 22, 1934.
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Texas; Randolph Bryant, Judge.
Chas. I. Francis, Sp. Asst. to Atty. Gen., John F. Davis, of Washington, D.C., S.D. Bennett, U.S. Atty., of Beaumont, Tex., and Douglas Arant, Sp. Asst. to Atty. Gen., for appellants.
F.W. Fischer, of Tyler, Tex., for appellees.
Before BRYAN, FOSTER, and SIBLEY, Circuit Judges.
This case was tried in the District Court and in this court along with that of Ryan v. Amazon Petroleum Corporation et al., 71 F.2d 1, the appeal in which has just been disposed of. The cases are similar except that this embraces among its complainants certain refiners of oil who ship some of their products in interstate commerce and who attack also Regulation V of the Secretary of the Interior which provides for reports to be made by refiners. The present decree enjoined the enforcement of that Regulation also. What was said by us in the opinion in the case of Amazon Petroleum Corporation applies here, and for the reasons there set forth we reverse the decree in this case and remand the cause with direction to dismiss the bill.
