APPEAL TO THE JoBBERs

Appeal was made today to the oil

Willard Hotel, to join with the refiners
in seeking to have Congress compel
the railroads of the country to furnish

secretary and general counsel OF the
National Petroleum Association. re-
viewed the tank car situation of the
country, coming down to the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the Muir case. which said that
Congress has not specifically said that
the railroads should do this. He said
that the refiners have a billion dollars
of capital tied up in tank cars for the
transportation of their products. This
service. be said, should rightly be FUR
nished by the railroads as transporta- :

Arbitrary Price Fixing Charged.

The Sherman law prohibits price fix
ing or price agreement, and yet, with
out gainsaying, there is no question
that prices for many of the petro-
leum products are fixed by arbitrary
methods. The price on certain COM
modities advances today. and within
twenty-four hours. usually all prices
on similar goods of competitors al
vance. If a decline takes place the
same thing is true in reverse order.
There is no price fixing by agreement
in this condition, but the price is def
nitely fixed by an arbitrary power
which can be used. and very often is
used. to stif1e. curtail and to demoralize
competitors.

cars. He asked for the support or the
jobbers in this movement.

Kerosene Carburetor Discussed.
Wonderful changes will be seen in
the oil business within the next year
as a result of the development of the
kerosene carburetor, which permits the
use of kerosene as substitute Tor
gasoline in internal combustion en-
gfnes as found in automobiles, accord
ing to E. E. Grant of Chicago, Ill, who
spoke last night at the meeting OF
the gasoline relief committee at the
New willard.
Mr.. Grant said that in his official
capacity he had visited several plants
where such carburetors were being de-
veloped and he named two such which
had received the sanction of the com
mittee. He said his investigation had
determined that the kerosene carburetor
is an assured success. The success,
he said, will take the oil business out
of the realm of speculation and put it
on a sound basis, where it should have
been years ago. but hadn't been be-
cause of the fact that enough uses
for it had not developed
He said there was no more odor from
the use of kerosene than from the use
Of gasoline. no smoke and no more
carbon deposits in the engine than
would be found from the use of
gasoline. In some instances. it is
claimed. he said, that more mileage per
gallon may be obtained from kerosene
than from gasoline.
