Industry with Government represent

carly IN February. Secretary of the
Interior Hubert Work, whose recon-

board be created was acted upon by
the President a month ago, has been
chosen as chairman Of the board.
Other members are Secretary OF War

Secretary Work made public a
statement today in which he said
that the oil industry must largely
determine its own future. adding
that when its welfare is SO closely
linked with the industrial prosperity
of the whole people, government and
business might very properly join
forces in working out this problem
III practical conservation" The
potential oil supply of this country,
he said, has been estimated 10 be
about nine billion barrels, of which
fully 50,o00-o00 barrels were taken
from the ground during 1924.
Studies OF Government experts
have developed, Secretary Work said,
that so per cent OF the oil now an
naily produced comes from new fields,
and generally half OF the total pro
duction from any field is produced
within the first two years. which
would seem to imply that N any oil
companies should fail over a period
OF two years to find, at home or
abroad. new production to Offset our
depletion, an oil famine would re
suit" The industrial structure of tin
Nation, he added, would be paralyZed
by an oil famine.
The hoard. Mr.. Work said, IS fully
in accord with the President that
"the problem os future shortage in
fuel and lubricating oil, not 10 men
tion gasoline, must be avoided. or our
manufacturing productivity will be
curtailed to an extent not easily calcu-
lated
The forthcoming conference, 20 in
clude most of the leaders in the oil
industry, viii be asked to help the
Government. and also the industry IT
self. that both may be benefited. The
new board wants the oil producing
concerns TO contribute TO a lasting
policy that would eliminate the pres
ent wastage, assure greater efficiency
in use OF oil products, and AFFORD bet

feel that tho public welfare would

Therefore, the number OF tags sold

The inspector further expressed th4
belief that the local oil companie1

The language stricken from the bill

strued as depriving any officer of the

right to pay and allowances while
serving ON such duty as the Presl-
dent may direct in the coordination

Immediately after the action in the

At the Same time the Senate ap-
propriations committee voted against
