BOLSHEVISM AND OIL
Russia Could Furnish Half Worlds
Supply of Crude Fluid

st. Louis, Sept 21,-Bolshevism in
Russia has curtailed the worlds sup
ply of oil. according to delegates to
a conference of the petroleum section
of the American institute of mining
and metallurgy, which opened here
today.
A paper prepared by Beeby Thomp-
son, geologist Of London. was read
in which the author declared Russia
contained vast oil wealth but de-
velopment of which has been pre-
vented by industrial conditions there.
From 1898 to 1901, the paper said,
the Baku fields produced about half
of the worlds oil supply. The pre-war
cost of digging a well 1900 feet deep
the paper added, was about $1,000.
