zone OF the kindliest men 1 have
ever known"
This was part of the benediction
pronounced upon the character of
George e. Oberholtzer, who was
buried from his home, $500 Univer-
sity Ave, this afternoon. The Rev.
c, II. Winders of the Northwood
Christian Church paid tribute to the
devotion to his family which had
characterized the dead man, the IA
Their of Madge Oberholtzer, for
whose murder d. C. Stephenson is
serving a life term in the Indiana
State Prison.
The Rev. J. B. Rosemurgy, pastor
of the Irvington M. E. Church also
took part in the service. Neither
minister made specific reference to
the daughter or the tragedy that
preceded her death.
Mrs. Oberholtzer, in a nervous
state, bordering on collapse, heard
the services from an upstairs room.
The large bay-windowed second
parlor where Mr.. Oberholtzer's
casket rested was a bower of floral
offerings-many sent by those who
have sympathiZed with the Ober-
hotter family, but had no personal
acquaintance, as we'll as from
numberless friends and neighbors.
The burial was in Memorial Park
Cemetery, where Mr.. Oberholtzer,
now lies beside Madge, his only
daughter.

OPTIMISM RIPE
FOR SOLUTION
I OF MINE CRISIS
Prospects Brighten With
Strip Coal Conference
Thursday.

BIZ United Press
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April A.
The coal mining situation in Indiana
presented a brighter outlook today
than atrany time since the suspen-
sion vent into effect last Friday with
the Termination of the Jacksonville
agreement.
Optimism is rife that the confer
ence of strip operators and repre-
sentatives of District IL United Mine
Workers Of America Thursday, will
end the suspension in that branch of
the States coal mining industry.
Strip mining represents around 20
per cent Of the States coal mining
industry.
Have Point
Cause for the optimistic outlook
in regard to the strip mining in
dustry is that they havs real
negotiable point with the mine
workers organization.
Strip mine operators, by contract,
nav time and g. half for overtime
and double time for holiday work,
while operators of deep mines pay
according to the miners regular
scale.
Miners in strip mines would like
their number Of holidays increased
to the number in deep mines, it is
understood.
It is not believed the matter of
wages will be a large factor in the
negotiations.
Penna Ill
Proposal of the district United
Mine Workers organization to the
Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators
Association, operators Of deep mines,
for a conference will be considered
when Phil Penna, secretary of the
operators, RECEIVERS from illness.
Independent mines continue to
sign with the mine workers organ
ization to continue work under the
old Jacksonville agreement pending
settlement, according to Harvey
Cartwright, district mine worker
president. The number that has
signed up Is not yet available.

PRICE FIXING ON
OIL CHARGED IN
FEDERAL BRIEFS
Concludes PreIiminarieS in
Monopoly Litigation of
Three Years Standing.

The United States Government to-
day concluded written preliminaries
in its three-year-old suit against the
Standard Oil Companies of Indiana
and New Jersey, the Texaco Com
pany, the Gasoline products Com
pany as primary" defendants and
forty-seven other oil refining con-
Germs, charging attempts to monopo-
lie petroleum cracking" processes
to produce gasoline.
The Government, in it's 6O0-page
brief, contends the refineries have a
price-fixing agreement among them
selves and that a system of licens-
ing exclusive use of the Cracking
process among themselves is in vio-
iation Of the Sherman antitrust law.
Hearing May 16.
Attorney Charles Martindale, In
dianapolis, has acted as master of
chancery in the case since April,
1929
Printed evidence submitted by
counsel for the defendants covers
ten thousand printed pages.
Argument will be heard before
Martindale in Federal Court, May 16.
Following the hearing Martindale
will submit a written report of his
findings to the Federal Circuit Court
Of Appeals, Chicago, for final dispo-
sition.
A formidable array of nationally
known legal talent will participate in
the hearing. Among approximately
fifty defense attorneys will be John
w. Davis, one-time Democratic presi-
Dental candidate, who will represent
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey.
Sargent May Appear
John G. Sargent, United States
attorney general, has participated i'll
the case and may appear.
The license agreements attacked
by the Government include some 200
alleged patents owned by the pri-
mary defendants in the suit and
EARNED OUT. to the smaller re-
fineries.
The oil companies contend that
the combination is justified under
the patents issued by the Govern
ment and that the licensing system
was necessary to prevent possible
infringement litigation.
The Government points out that
heavy royalties are imposed on So
called Independent reflners, the
amount of which is determined by
agreement.
This constitutes an agreement to
fixe prices, it is contended, a prac-
tice recently condemned by the SUI
preme Court.

ground that If she is martyred the

leader to succeed the. late Debs and
Miss Whitney will become their can

Sinclair's letter is similar to those

made to undergo the laws even
