The agreement between Gems. Per-

GASOLINE DEALERS SAY
PROFIT IS WIPED OUT
Supply Became Short in August,
1915, They Tell Federal
Trade Commission.

Efforts to find out the rea son for the
rapid rise in the price of gasoline in
the litter part of 1915 were made today
at the opening of the hearings by the
federal trade commission in connec-
tiol with its investigation into the price
increase. The hearing will continue this
afternoon and tomorrow.
The morning session was given over
principally to the testimony of the IN
dependent jobbers. the questioning be-
ing conducted principally by L. A Ha-
ney, the commissions economist. in
direct charge of the investigation.
Say Business Is, Improbable.
Much of the questioning sought to
bring out just when the price jump
came, and the reason for it. The job
bers testified that along, about the
middle of August the shortage in the
supply came. and it was difficult to get
gasoline. Since that time the busi-
ness has been unprofitable, they de-
clared.
Commissioner Hurley attempted to
find out the method of figuring profit
but in many instances there was diff
ference of opinion. Some charged in
terest on investment in the amount Of
gas in storage, while others did not.
In fact, there seemed to be lack of
uniformity in the cost keeping.
Along in the latter part of the year.
the jobbers testified, efforts were made
to get a supply from the Standard Oil
companies, but the efforts failed, the
Standard officials replying that they
needed their supply for their own Gus
toners.
Regarded as Feeler.
! c. L. Mcclure of st. Paul said that in
October Standard Oil agent came and
offered gas" Asked as to his thought
about this offer from the Standard.
which had been refusing sales. he ex-
pressed the belief that the agent was
being sent around to find out whether
the independents were feeling the
tightness of the gasoline situation and
whether they were getting it at low
price.
He said that the agent had only a
limited amount to offer, and at the
time il was quoted at price bit
high.
L. S. Nicholas of the Nicholas Oil
Company told the commission that II
was necessary for the independents to
follow the Standard Oil, no matter what
that company did.

PRECAUTlON OF ALLIES
is APPLIED TO GREECE
Ban on Passing of Supplies to Cen
trail Powers Through That
Country.

The changed attitude of the allies to-
ward Greece resulting from the Bull
garian entry into that country with
the necessity of adopting measures to
prevent military stores and supplies OF
other kinds from reaching the central
powers by that gateway, is reflected
in the announced intention to apply
to Greece the same precautionary
measures in connection with imports
and exports that are now in vogue in
the case of Sweden and other neutral
countries of northern Europe.
Today the British embassy. under in
structions from the foreign office, sent
a circular of instructions to all British
consular officers throughout the United
States. The circular is as follows:
Text of Instructions.
I'm response to inquiries ,-oI may
now inform applicants that the trade
department of the British embassy has
made arrangements to supply informa-
ton with REGARD to shipments to
Greece similar to that already fur
nished in the case of shipments to
Scandinavia.
Exporters in the United States who
desire to ascertain, before engaging
freight space, whether their proposed
consignments destined for Greece would
be regarded as unobjectionable and
genuinely for neutral consumption. may
apply for this Information to the trade
department of this embassy. and in sat
isfactory cases letters of assurance
would be issued, if desired. to facilitate
the passage of goods through the allied
naval patrols to their destination in
Greece"
