Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Louis R. Glavis (left), director of investigation for the Department of the Interior, as well as for the Civil Works Administration and Publiv Works Administration, is photographed with U.S. Attorney Peirson Hall. Glavis's visit to Los Angeles coincided with increasing indictments relating to accusations that various major oil corporations had violated the National Petroleum Administration's code of fair competition. The government contended, via the offices of Attorney Peirson Hall, that major oil companies such as Shell and Standard oil had planned to create price-cutting wars, cut wages and reduce employment.
