PARTY VOTE TOGETHER
IN GERMANY.

BERLIN-The governments plan
to GUST the Standard Oil Co. from
Germany and establish a state mono
poly in it's place is not working out
exactly to the desires of the capital
list class in Germany. The socialist
party and the Catholic party who to-

Reichstag, have united upon the prop
osition that they will not vote for the
bill unless the government agrees to
reduce the price of oil and also that
the government will guarantee a suf-
ficient supply of oil to meet the needs
of the people.
The capitalist proposition was to
make the oil business a producer of
revenue for the government to aid
in an extravagant army any navy pro-
