DEMO NOMINEES
MEET SATURDAY
Bearers of Democratic Standard Will
Pick Campaign Committee; Re-
pubIicans viii Be In Ses-
sion Friday.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 17.--Demo.
cratic state nominees, seeking cleo
tion in the November election, will
meet with State Chairman Ed M.
Semans Saturday afternoon at the
senate chamber of the capitol to pick
the democratic campaign committee,
Semans announced today
The republican executive commit
tee will meet tomorrow at state re.
publican headquarters to set a defi-
mite date for their platform conyen-
ton, tentatively announced for Aug.
26 or %, it was learned
These two party meetings will be
the official signal for the big race
terminating November z, general
election date.
Issues between democrats and re-
publicans began to form today and it
appeared that John Fields, republi-
can, and Jack Walton, democrat.
would stump the state with at least
one agreed statement--that plank
one of the Shawnee farmer-labor
platform, demanding prosecution Of
officials or private citizens implicated
in any tampering with the guaranty
fund of the state.
Walton's statement Of yesterday
which reiterated his stand on the
farmer labor platform and did not
mention the democratic platform,
held no further Interpretation today
other than Walton intends to suffer
no limitations he feels were imposed
by the democratic convention.
Paul Nesbitt, keynote speaker at
the convention and who is close to
Walton, said Walton's statement
means nothing else than that Walton
will take the democratic platform as
far as it goes.

DECLARES TRUST
FIXES OIL PRICES
Democratic Senator Says Worldwide
Monopoly Controls Crude OIL Sup
ply; Will Investigate Al
legged Workings.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Ramifica-
tions of an alleged gigantic oil mono
poly, extending throughout the world
will be probed by the senate commit
tee investigating high gasoline prices,
Senator Smith, South Carolina, rank
ing democrat declared today.
Charges have been brought before
members of the committee that three
monopolistic companies, with exten-
sive holdings in America, Mexico and
Europe, had acquired directly or in
directly, control of about three-fifths
of the worlds crude oil supply, ac-
cording to Smith.
With these vast holdings, the com
panies, through an alleged interlock-
ing arrangement are able to fix arbi-
trarily the price of gasoline, kero-
sene, fuel oil and all petroleum pro-
ducts it was said.
If the charges of gigantic mono
poly are sustained, a federal investi-
cation under the antitrust laws will
be demanded, Smith said.
In order that the charges may be
brought before the public, Smith said
that he would demand henceforth
that all witnesses before the commit
tee be sworn and all documents of
the involved companies be placed
open before American consumers. Oil
men who have appeared before the
committee thus far have not been
under oath.
The committee does not plan to
meet again for ten days, because
of pressing business in the senate,
valuable informating is being gath
cred by government experts, which,
it was declared, give weight to
charges of monopoly in the oil in
dustry.
while we cannot give out details"
Smith said, Eve have on hand infor-
nation which will produce some SEN
sational effects in the gasoline and
oil industry. 1t is about time the
American people knew the workings
of some of the large oil producing
companies, and we will bring out the
full information when the committee
hearings are resumed"
American companies are involved
in price fixing manipulations in Mex
Wilmer Carr, according to investi-
tion tothe committee. Crude oil
which brings about II cents per bar
rel in Mexico is sold in this country
for more than So per barrel, it was
stated. Transportation charges are
less than 81 per barrel.

Philadelphia. Aug. Delegates
OF hard coal miners aud operators
arrived here today for conference
which is expected to send 10000
anthracite workers back 10 the
mines.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers and his lieu.
tenants. meet with S. ID. Warriner
and Representatives OF hard coal
mine owners at 2 o'clock.
Cessation OF suspension. which be-
gan April I, was hoped for by both
sides. according TO their statements.
Miners spokesmon were quoted az
declaring tits all over" while War.
riner. speaking for the operators, as.
serted his side was ready for peace.
The soft coal settlement reached
by central competitive field owners
and workers at Cleveland, will have
great influence in effecting agree
ment here. II was believed.
The joint conference is the result
of an invitation extended to the
union leaders by S. ID. Warriner.
following a conference with Senator
Pepper, Pennsylvania, held last Sun.
day in the home of VIM. A. Glas-
gov, jr., counsel for the miners.
u Is pointed out that many of the
demands and counterdemands, which
appeared in the early meetings held
in New York, to be insolube obsta-
cles to hard coal peace, will disap-
pear at today's meeting. That there
is some basis in this is seen in tho
recent announcement by Warriner
that the operators would be willing
to take the men back at the old
wage. Lewis on behalf of the min
ers. withdrew the demand for
twenty per cent il rease in wages.

Message to Congress On
Walkout Plans.

Washington. Aug. II. - President
Harding has decided TO postpone his
message 10 congress on the rail strike
situation. pending the outcome OF
peace negotiations between the rail
executives and leaders of the non
striking labor organization which
opened In New York today
The president announced his inten
tion TO hold his message to congress
IN q telephone conversation with Sen.
ator Watson. indiana.
AS Il result. Il Is uncertain when
Harding viii 80 before congress. hut
h. probably will do 80 within a week.
The presidents action was taken
ns an Indication that he Is hopeful
some solution of the rail strike may
be reached at the New York meeting
and that the coal strike settlement
effected at Cleveland may be broad
eHed as the result OF the conference
OF anthracite operators and United
Mine Workers Chiefs opening in
Philadelphia today.
Officials were making no predic.
tions of an early end of the rail
strike, despite their hopeful atti.
tude. The presidents decision to
postpone his message came after
congressional advisers strongly
urged such a course, in the fear
that his recital of the governmental
moves to bring peace and the out
line of the positions taken by the
two factions might prove some hind
rance to the New York conference.
In the present situation with a
possible settlement pending the
president has naturally decided on
what measures he will suggest to
congress for ending the dispute
1t is known however, that when
he does address congress he will
make recommendation for legisla-
tion that will tend to prevent a re.
curronce of the disastrous rail and
coal strikes in the future.

tain to exist, despite the coal settle
ment and in this connection revival

Lever food and fuel control law may
be suggested.
Prompt action on the bill pending
in congress for a federal commission
to investigate the coal industry is
virtually certain to be asked, such
an agency having been asked by
both operators and miners.
