If the resolution of the jam and pre-
serve makers of the country to refuse
to buy sugar until its price is lowered

see the season s fruit crop go to waste,
but the present price of sugar would
put the jams and jellies containing it
beyond the reach of many.

Washington, June l9.-The call
ing of a conference Of the feading
oil refinors and of representatives.
of the principal fuel oil using in
dustries as means of working out
some distribution plan that would
insure a reasonable supply of oil,
was suggested today by Secretary
of Commerce Alexander in a letter
TO Senator Phelan of California.
Senator Phelan in letter 20
the the commerce secretary calling
attention to reports of an acute oil
situation on the Pacific coast, urged
an embargo on oil to relieve the
American market.
Secretary Alexander, in reply,
said that until formal procla ma
ton of peace the president had au-
thority TO restrict the export of
commodities, an embargo to relieve
the Pacific coast situation would
have to be applied under the law,
TO all American ports. An oil ex-
port embargo, Mr.. Alexander fur
ther asserted. would result in gem
eral injury to American prestige in
foreign countries The best solu-
ton, he declared, would be con-
ference between refiners and in
dustrial consumers.
mir. Alexander said exports of
oil from the San Francisco district
for the first four months of 1920.
amounted to 100,000,O00 gallons as
compared with 145,00O.o goo gallons
for the entire year 1913. Senator
Phelan in statement tonight said
these figures tended to sustain
