Washington. March 11-Prices Of
gasoline throughout the United
States run parallel to the price Of
crude Oil, it was shown here today
from a study of government data as
the Department of Justice got well
into its investigation of refiners, an
investigation ordered by President
Coolidge.
From 1920 to 1928 crude oil prices
declined. Gasoline prices did like
wise, according to data collected by
the U. S. Department of Labor. From
1916 to 1920 prices of both commo-
dities rose together.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1924-03-12

The price of gasoline, however,
seems not to have risen as fast as
that of crude oil. Yet oil represents
at least seventy-five per cent. of the
wholesale price of gasoline. accord
ing to a study of the entire refining
industry made by the Census Bureau.
Despite the charges against them.
the refiners. it would appear, have
passed on to the consuming public q
large proportion of the profits ac-
cruing from more efficient methods of
refining.
Throughout 1923, the price of
crude oil averaged $50 per cent,
above the price level OF 1913. the
official data reveal. Yet the gaso-
line price level of 1923 was twenty
three per cent. above that OF the pre-
war year.

ANOTHER ROW HALTS
WORK ON TUTS TOMB

Cairo. Egypt, Mar. 1.-THE negoti-
atoms for a peaceful solution of the
controversy over the tomb of Tut
ankh- Amen collapsed today, and it is
understood the Egyptian government
has withdrawn its offer of a new
concession to the Countess of Car
narvon to carry on the work in the
tomb begun by her late husband.
The breaking off of negotiations
was due to a remark in court last
night by the lawyer representing the
Carnarvon trustees. The lawyer, in
referring to the action of the minister
of public work in closing the tomb at
Luxor, referred to the the Egyptian
ministers as bandits.
