ers' college are building an organi-
zation to give better drama to Amer

Gas Convention
Ends In UprOar;
No Cut In Price
by United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, July 2S.-A national
convention of independent oil men,
refiners and distributors called to
lower gasoline prices ended in an
uproar without accomplishing ITS
purpose Friday. Adjournment was
proclaimed amid 81 near riot.
l.. V. Nichols, president Of the
National Petroleum Marketers' as
sociation who called the convention
and presided as chairman was boo
ed and hissed by producers ard
refiners opposingt his plan for a
four cent a gallon decrease.
After Is hours of heated debate
the only action taken by the con-
ference was adopt ion of resolu-
tion providing far an @investiga-
tion into the cost of finding, prod
ucing, and marketing petroleum
products.
Distributors said they were earn
ing a ten cent prdfit on gasoline,
due to tremendous oyer-production
and quantities of gasoline in stor-
age. They charged that refiners,
trying to unload their over-produc'
tion were selling gasoline to DIS
tributer competitor four to six cents
lower, who, in turn, sold It lower
than the accredited distributor.
They argued that if the price was
reduced the public would benefit,
| the profit margin would be mar
rowed and competitors would tbe
unable to undersell them.
Refiners stated that price re-
| duction now would demoralize the
industry. They declared that the
over-production would be consumed
in sixty days and ii prices were
lowered now they would then ad-
vance severa lcents above the
; present level.
