Bruce, S0n-in-L-aW
Of Andrew Mellon,
Gets Another Job

WASHINGTON, (FP) July IL
Government employees should become
son-in-laws of Secretary of the Urea
sury Mellon in addition to picking
senators for fathers, if they want to
get ahead in Uncle Sans service.
Young David K. E. Bruce did both.
Late in 1925, at the ripe age of 81,
he decided to enter government serv-
ice. Son of Senator Bruce of Mary
land, Coolidge Democrat, he was
able to get into the state department
where within a few months he was
elevated to one of the prize berths of
the foreign service as attache in the
American embassy at Rome. Find
ing the salary of $1,000 insufficient,
he formed an alliance with Americas
third wealthiest family by marrying
Ailsa Mellon last year.
Now the youthful diplomat is to be
shot up in the service to the post Of
secretary of the International Radio
telegraph Conference, to be held in
Washington beginning October a. He
has formally asked to be relieved of
his Roman post, where his duties
have been SO light that he has been
able to while away most of his time
on the Riviera. This summer Bruce
will cruise the Mediterranean on Mel
Ions private yacht.
Bruce will transfer his allegiance
from Secretary of State Kellogg to
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover, who
is running the International Tele-
graph Conference on behalf of Radio
Corporations fight against European
and Latin America ideas that the
public and not private monopolies,
should control the air. Hoover, who
has seized position of governmental
overseer of the radio, is chairman Of
the American delegation.

the two "Amerikanka" (American)
mines, to be constructed with the as
sistance Of six American mining en-
gineers. Machinery and equipment
to the value of S325,000 will be

COrnan-AmeriCan
Trust Organized
To Foster Trade

The steady penetration of American
capital into postwar Germany and
the Central European States is evil
denced by the announcement today
of the proposed organization of the
International Germanic Trust Com
pany, under the banking laws of the
State of New York, with offices at
26 Broadway, on the ground floor of
the Standard Oil Building.
According to Mr.. Aron, Chairman
of the Executive Committee Of the Or
ganization Committee, "the trust
company will have and develop rela-
tions both with Americans of German
descend throughout this country, and
with business and banking institu-
tions in Germany. 1t is the intention
of the company to stress particularly
the development of its foreign and
trust departments, and to provide an
effective fiscal agency in the expected
liquidation Of German properties and
trusts still in Government custody"
Mr. Aron, who expects to go abroad
this month to establish a branch Of
flee of the trust company in Berlin,
expresses the belief of the organizers
of the new bank that ''the formation
of the international Germanic Trust
Company will accomplish much in
uniting effectively American and
German capital resources in the de-
velopment of financial and COM
mercial relations between the two
countries"
The authorized capitalization will
consist of 10000 shares, with CAPT
tai of s3,000,000 and a surplus Of ST.
100000.

Russian Oil Firms
Cut Gasoline Price
In English Markets
BY TOM BARKER.

LONDON, July II. - Car owners in
Great Britain are on velvet. After
being mulcted for decade of large
sums by a combine consisting prin-
cipally of the subsidiaries of the
Royal Dutch Shell Oil Co. and Stan
dard Oil Co., price war has arisen
by the entrance on the market of the
Russian Oil Products, Ltd, who are
now sole sellers of Soviet gasoline.
Some time ago the Russians were
compelled to sell their oil in bulk to
the two large concerns at prices far
below the prevailing world rate
Royal Dutch lost much property in
Russia by the naturalization de-
crees, but during the difficult posi-
ton of the Bolshevists the company
purchased-at its own price-half a
million tons of oil This they sold re-
tail at prices verging on so cents a
g'9lon to British car owners.
Since the Russians entered the field
themselves, they have led a price cut
ting war which has practically halved
the price Of gas to the consumer. The
combine firms have subsidized the
Rothermere press, especially the
Daily Mail--a paper which outdoes
Hearst in bowling for blood and for
clearing out the reds"
This campaign of the Mail does not
preclude it at the same time solicit
ing advertising from Russian oil pro-
ducts.
Two other anti-Soviet oil combines
are the Association of British Credi-
interested solely in oil--and the
Hands Off Britain Campaign led by
fascist demagogue named Locker
Lampson.
Despite all the noise, Soviet oil
sales have increased 100 per cent
within one year The opposition
seems to defeat its purpose, as Rus
sian oil is distinctly better than its
competitors.
Viscount Bearsted, chairman Of
Shell directors, at company meet
ing in June denounced Soviet gaso-
line as "stolen" oil. The directors of
r. o. P. laugh at his lordship and say
that il it is "stolen" then Viseount
Bearsted's firm when buying Soviet
oil three years ago was an accessory
after the fact, in short a fence"
Bearsted's firm paid little item of
rs per cent dividend for the past year,
tax free.

associates including his son, have
sailed for the Soviet Union, where
they will prepare plans for the sink
ing of a number of mine shafts by
latest American methods, and for the
construction of auxiliary methods,
and for the construction of auxiliary
buildings, in the coal fields of the
Donetz Basin. Mr.. Garcia's firm is
the third American firm to sign with
the Donugol Coal Trust during the
past few months to assist in the
modernization of the Donugol mines.
Mr.. Garcia and associates win
spend three months in the Soviet
designing, writing specifications and
making estimates for a complete
mining plant, to be operated by the
Donugol Coal Trust In particular
they will design sldphoist mine of
the American type.
Ten new coal shafts with a COM
bined capacity Of 100000 metric
tons are being sunk in the Donetz
Basin this year and sixteen more will
be put under construction in 1928.

The Dnieper Power Plant.

work on the Dnieper river power
project, which will be the largest
hydro-electric development in Eu-
rope, has been started. Seven hun
bred workmen were put to work on
construction early in May, and this
force will be increased to 5000 by
midsummer. Col. Hugh L. Cooper,
the builder of Muscle Shoals, who is
chief consulting engineer for the
Dnieper project, is on the ground.
Two "a yard steam shovels for ex-
cavation work in connection with the
Dnieper plant have been ordered from

American orders in prospect include
complete equipment for a sawmill,

Expel saIesmen,s Union.

Following orders from President
Green Of the American Federation Of
Labor, the local Bakery Salesmen's
union has been expelled from the
Central Labor Council here.
This action follows a demand Of
the Transfers International Union
that the Statesmen should affiliate tc
it. In 1915 at the A. F. of L. con-
vention in San Francisco the Team
sters were given jurisdiction over this
craft and Seattle and Tacoma are the
only cities where this ruling had not
been put into effect.
The Salesmen's union here has
adopted resolution declaring its in
tention to retain its connection with
the Bakers International and urging
unions to support its position at the
A. F. of L. convention this year at
Los Angeles. It is pointed out that
they enjoy better conditions than
other bakery statesmen due to the fact
that their union contract is negotia-
ted and signed at the same time as
that of the bakers. The advantages
of industrial unionism is exemplified
in their case.
Local business ag ents of the
Machinists and the Transfers unions
are trying to increase the member
ship of their respective unions at the
expense of the Street Railwaymen's
union. The first named organization
is trying to enroll the shop employees
and the latter is going after the
drivers Of the municipal auto buses
which act as feeders to the city
owned street car system. The street
car men are protesting at this at
tempted hi-jacking Of their members
and the workers involved are turn
ing deaf ear to the proffers made
them.
Several progressive members of
Carpenters Union 131 were rather
surprised on the eve of a recent cleo
ton to find that though they had
been nominated for office their names
had been left off the ballot. These
members are making point of this
unfairness Of their officials in an ef-
fort to organize to GUST their reac-
tionary representatives.
