ing ont the appropriations for claims.

ward clearing AVA the great appro-
priation bills which stand ahead of

finally disposed of. the contract school
item being modified so that Catholic

day. the senate declined, by a vote
of A to %. TO accept a conference re-
port recommending three battleships

ferees were instructed by unanimous

Washington. June Z. - Mr.. Morgan

ton Of his resolution calling on the

Stewart of Nevada for a tax of 10
cents per pound on wool was laid on
the table 80 to 81. Another amend

THE OIL INDUSTRY

Nothing New in the L cal Situation-The San
Francisco Outlook
There is nothing new in the oil situation.
Secretary Strasburg OF the oil exchange on
Saturday said that no marked improve
ment is anticipated until the present I'M
natural condition of affairs existing in San
Francisco is over and better prices prevail.
In the local mar ket there is no change.
The Standard people are doing nothing,
and will do nothing until their new tanks
are completed. Then, when prices pick up
in San Francisco SO as to leave margin of
profit, they will enter the field as buyers.
The sale of the plant of the Los Angeles
exchange in San Francisco. with the oil on
hand, to the Arctic Oh company of that
city, it is believed, will have good effect
on the market i'll that city. There is hardly
room for two companies to engage in the
retail trade, and now that the Los Angeles
exchange will contine itself strictly TO the
Wholesale business there will be better
feeling toward the Los Angeles oil. All the
manufacturing plants in San Francisco
using oil are greatly pleased with the re-
suits Os course 1t takes time to make the
change, but oil is gradually supplanting
coal, and the consumption is steadily in

shop" level Is the one that is next above
absolutely unsatisfied want, and it Is
altogether probable that until the peo-
gle of the "sweat shops" find some other
equally degraded industrial sphere,
they will suffer keenly from rigorous
enforcement of the law. The state can
prohibit the indulgence of certain ap-
petites by the people without causing
necessarily any large amount of suffer-
ing, though of course Inconvenience
and discomfort will ensue, but it can
not prohibit people adjusting them
selves to industrial conditions with out
compelling the people affected to feel
the pangs OF want.
The "sweat shop" is the fruit OF an
unnatural condition, and Its abolition
will no more better that condition than
the smashing of eggs will kill the fowl
that lays them. The only way to make
it, or anything like it, impossible, is to
enlarge the opportunities for labor 80
that the dernier resort of people who
have to labor to live will be something
higher and better.
