Monster Oil Interests
in Practical Combine.

LONDON, JULY 3G.-In its issue Of
this morning the Daily Mail declares
there is no longer any doubt that
the three monster oil interests Of
Rockefeller, Rothchild and Nobel. have
entered into working agreement
Thus says the paper without any
publicity, the greatest trust the world
has ever seen sprung into being
This combina ton. says the paper,
has been hinted at in messages from
Batoun and Moscow, and it has been
more clearly shown in the offers made
to Russian oil exporters by represen-
tatiyes of the Nobel and Rothchild's
interests for the. absorption of the
whole of their output. The exporters
have been b;dden TO sell through the
agencies of these interests at a price
arranged by them or to fight
the combined forces of the
three oil giants This offer was made
openly. and with the idea of main
tanning prices and it has been re-
fused, the Russian exporters pro-
ceeding to fight. 1t was doubtless this
combine. continues the Daily Mail,
which induced the Russian Govern
ment to issue invitations to an anti
trust conference. The spokesman Of
the great combines declares it means
10 fight to the death and that the
independent exporters cannot hope to
win.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 9.-Repre-
sentative James Hay is in Washington
for few days, and while here Will at

dcnartments. The special object Of Mr..
IIav,s visit to Washington was TO start

health for some months, to Wyoming,
where he will spend some time on cat

Western climate.
Mr. Hay would have nothing 10 say in
regard to the reported disagreement be
tween himself and Representative Swan

Speakership of the House, should the
Democrats win this election. Mr.. Swan
son has for some time had his eye On the
