L. l.. MARCEL. head of White Eagle
Oil, back from western tour. A
part of the large increase in sales of
all the western oil companies in re-
cent months is due to the coal strike,
which has compelled the use of oil as
fuel. Many western railroads have
changed their locomotives from coal
burners to oil burners, Mr.. MARCEL
says, and they have found oil much
cleaner and more economical A re-
cent test showed that a locomotive
burning oil can run $50 miles without
being stopped and cleaned. The
average coal burning locomotive
must be cleaned after running about
