THE PRICE OF GASOLINE
TO REMAIN UP Is PREDICTEp.

Confirming the recently published
survey of the fuel oil situation in Cal
ifornia by the California Chamber of
Commerce, in which it was asserted
that the supply is not adequate to the
steady demand, representatives of the
Standard Union, Associated and Shell
Oil Companies announce that indica-
tions point to an increase rather than
decrease in prices, according to ad-
vices received in this state. There is
likelihood of drop in the present
quotation in the Bay district of twen-
ty seven cents gallon for gasoline or
in Reno of thirty-five cents it was de-
clared.
Fuel oil per barrel OF the rnfner es
around the bay is $2,3a. with s245 at
local tanks, and $50 delivered. There
has been a big falling off of fuel oil
shipments from other fields 10 this
state, 1t is declared; also of sh pments
of gasoline, both due to the spirited
demand elsewhere in the United Stat
es.
Relative to the alleged fuel scarcity
the big companies are not only refus-
ing new contracts, bnt are declining
to renew present contracts as they
expire. This is particularly true of
the large contracts for the supply of
thousands of barrels of oil to the
great railroads like the Canadian and
Northern Pacific.
The gasoline supply for automobiles
has passed the acute stage for this
season of the year. but the pricee
shows no signs of dropping. Because
of the general demand for the pro-
duct. California is>forced to depend
largely upon its own supply, according
to the representatives. While several
large shipments were negotiated from
| Southwestern oil fields during the
summer shortage. 1t is declared that
the importation ceased almost imme-
diately. At that time it was said that
prices were advanced as a result of
the mixture of the more expensive
gasoline with the California product.
Since then. the oil companies assert,
the growing demand has maintained
the increased.

PRICES AND STARS

At last prices have reached the
stars! Astrologers find in the plan
cts hope Tor the long-desired reduc-
tion of costs, and tendency toward
simplicity The latest reading is di-
rected particularly toward feminine
fr.volties, but there is more than an
indication that male and female are
both to share In chastened atti.
tude toward wearing apparel and vain
show. One horoscope says:
During this planetary direction,
there should be an access of simple
ity and frankness. The stars sup
posed to influence the feminine mind
toward truth are held to cause the
expression of change in dress and
habits. For this reason the end of
the vogue fer eXtrayagant attire and
cosmetics Is believed to be near"
There are many indications which
point toward the fact that the peak
of extravaganza has been passed The
attitude Of the naughty sales.person
is a good sign. No longer is the hum.

o4.ooo HOMES WAITING

I NThere are not less than $4,000
abandoned farmhouses in this coun-
try, and still the populace in the cit
les struggles with the rent profiteers
and crowds into small and unsatisfac-
tory living quarters.
There must be some among these
unhappily situated city-dwellers who
could, if they would, seek out some of
the abandoned farmhouses, and make
them habitable, reclaiming at least
little of the farm land, and living
more healthily and happily than ever
before. In many cases it might be
necessary for the father to keep at
his work in town, going out to the
country only for week-ends or even
not as often as that But the story of
all pioneering is the story of separa-
ton and hardship. II it meant better
health for children, better food at
less cost because most of it was pro-
duced in the home garden and chick
en- yard, and ultimately paying
farm, why should it not be worth the
effort?

would result from cheaper rent and
lower clothing bills should provide
railway fare or trusty flivver in
which to go back and forth.

and kind where there Is room for
privacy and the development of oiigi.

Why do rot more people go back?
There are $4,000 homes waiting.

BUSINESS METHODS

The refusal of the railroad labor
board to deal with the OUTLAW" strik-
ers establishes business-like policy
in the governments attitude toward
labor, and helps to make labor itself
more business-like.
To deal with the strikers alone
would not only have condoned their
offense but would have invited chaos
in labor relations where order and
system are needed more urgently
than in any other department of
American life.
The strikers were rebels against
their own labor organization, disobey
ing the officers they themselves had
chosen, and ignoring contracts made
by those officers in their name. They
struck in disregard of public rights
and national law. They ignored the
orderly procedure by which it had
been arranged that cases like theirs
should be adjusted. Their strike was
not a final. desperate effort resorted
TO after all other means had failed.
They had not even presented definite
claims to their employers or the gov
ernment. They struck first in spir
II OF blind discomfort and formulated
their demands afterward.
No institution can get anywhere by
that sort of procedure. Organized
labor today must, above all things,
become businesslike. 1t has suffered
much and failed much because of its
failure, for various reasons,1 to live
up to its contracts. In so doing, il
has undermined it's own cardinal prin-
ciple of collective bargaining. Meth
er private employers nor government
can make bargains with labor un-
ions unless there is a reasonable as
surance of the unions keeping their
bargains.
To that end, tits necessary that la
Dor should have not only thorough
organization but thorough discipline.
The railroad labor board, therefore,
in refusing to deal with group of
rebelliOus and contract-breaking EN-.
ployes, has performed service for
union labor. a

MIGRATORY BIRD LAW VALID

great many persons will rejoice
over the fact that the supreme court

state of Missouri as unconstitutional
and interfering with the states SOW.

rights. 81 silFses,i a,i' 80 ,-.i',ss ~"
The supreme court held that the
protection of migratory birds is a
matter of national interest and that
none of the birds lived permanently
in any one~state.s TheFdestruction of
these birds would soon result in in.
creased destruction of the food crops,
trees and plant life OF the whole
country, for the birds more than pay
for their own board and lodging by
devouring insect pests harmful to
plants.
hTe treaty specifies certain closed
| seasons and other forms of protection
| for these wandering creatures of the
air. Killing, capturing or selling any
of the birds is prohibited, except
where government regulation raises
tho ban
1t would be comparatively simple
matter to reduce the number of these
migratory birds If a time ever came
when there were too many of them.
1t would be impossible, however, to
restore any species which had been
wiped out by Indifferent and ruthless
sportsmen, hunting for the mere sake
