CHICAGO AUTO|STS
ASSURED GASOLINE
Strike of Filling Station At

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 9.-As Chicago's
public gasoline supply dwindled rap
idly and motorized vehicles deserted
the streets by the thousands. the first
strike of gasoline station attendants
of the automobile era was settled
today upon compromise basis.
The filing station men demanded
a $40 a month increase and got IS
added to their salary of $40. Case.
line tank wagon drivers, formerly
paid $175 month, got an increase Of
$3.50 month. They demanded SIS
raise and a weeks vacation with pay.
The agreement called for the i'm.
mediate return to work of all the en-
ployes. 1t will expire two years from
today.
1000 Filling Stations Closed.
The filling stations, approximately
2 900 Of them scattered over Chicago
and three adjoining counties. and 700
tank wagons were abandoned at noon
yesterday. Union officials climaxed
more than two weeks of negotiations
by calling out the attendants and
drivers for the Sinclair Oil Co. The
other companies, Standard Oil Of In
diana, Roxana, Texas, Apex and
nearly a score of lesser ones, imme-
diately countered by closing all their
stations and withdrawing their tank
wagons.
Today's settlement came quickly
once the union leaders and gasoline
company representatives got together.
The company men waited three hours
81,
before the union men appeared.
Within As minutes announcement Of
the agreement was made. The ground
work for the agreement was laid at
an eight-hour conference which ended
last midnight.

Relief for Director.

AS an example, consideration is now
being given to the establishment Of a
central checking of vouchers. AS 1t
Is now, the vouchers go first to the
auditor, where they receive a prelim-
mary audit, and are then sent out to
the IL institutions. This occasions
delay in payment, and in case Of err
ror or other question, an unwarranted
expenditure Of time on the part of in.
stitutional heads, whose time can bet
ter be spent in their professional
duties. The Bureau of Efficiency rec
ommends that these vouchers could be
checked in the central Office under a
central business manager. Such cen
trail checking Of vouchers Is done in
the school system. ard those who
have made a careful study say that
there is much greater reason with re.
gard to the II welfare institutions be-
cause of the greater variety of their
needs. The situation is also compare.
BILE to that in New York. where the
Bellevue and allied hospitals have a
common business management al
though they are widely scattered, and
yet their supply problem. as well as
all accounts, center in Bellevue. Such
policy leaves the institutional au
thorities freer to handle efficiently
and more promptly the highly pro
fessional and technical duties for
which they are peculiarly fitted,
A good business manager, as as

need is for business manager to han

There is a great deal used by these
institutions that Is not on the SEIZED
ules Of the general supply committee
and that should be bought collectively
for all Of these institutions by the
business manager. All acquisitions
should go through his Office for ap.
prevail. These problems, 1t is felt,
need a business manager rather than
a social worker in charge.
The Bureau Of Efficiency has re-
ported to the District Commissioners
on the complaint that there is now
lack Of control over property in these
institutions. The report shows that
for the most part there is not even
a running inventory and to a large
extent not even adequate inspection
Of the goods received. They are gen.
orally shipped on brands, whereas the
Bureau Of Efficiency says there should
be technical test on each delivery
as is done at Bellevue.
This lack of control over equip.
ment and property on hand is due to
the fact that at most of these insti.
tutions there isn't a staff sufficient to
handle such details. Institutional Off.
Gals are so engaged with their duties
in the care and handling of their in
mates and the daily routine of run.
ming their plants that they cannot
give proper attention to these admin
istrative matters. On the other hand
when these officials come to the Dis
trict Building frequently large part
Of their time Is taken up with chasing
through some requisition or in an
swering questions about a voucher
instead Of in professional conferences.
It is seen that all of such business
matters ought to be handled by a
central business manager located in
the District Building.

DEEM JOHNSON
CUSTER NEAR
Secret Meetings to Discuss
Ban Reportcd-Suspen-
sion CT Cobb Is Thorn

Chicago, May 17.--IP- "A Assertions
printed here that American League
club owners had been holding secret
meetings to discuss the activities Of
their president, Ban Johnson, were
confirmed today in part by one of
the club owners who said that one
meeting was held in New York at the
time reports were current that Mayor
Jimmy Walker had been mentioned
for the presidency at 100000 a year.
It was acknowledged that the club
owners discussed Johnson at that
meeting, but no information was
divulged concerning details of the
gathering, nor was anything forth
coming concerning the reputed offer
to Mayor Walker.
The Johnson status, since he was
granted "leave of absence to. regain
his. health" last January by the club
owners has furnished the theme for
many columns of sports page com
ment since the American League sea
son began, with Johnson evidently in
greatly improved health and as active
in league affairs as ever. His con
duet Of the executive affairs Of the
league escaped general notice until
he suspended Ty Cobb and AL SIM
mons, of, Philadelphia Athletics. 70,

The reports Of the 100000 offer

Dempsey, Richard disclosed, has
rejected Il proposal to fight Pauline
Uzcudun, the basque woodchopper'
around July /, because the former
champion feels he will not be in con-
dition by that time. He has definitely

Richard added that if Dempsey
fails to fulfill his present intention
to return to the ring, either Maloney
or Sharkey will be Gene Tunney's OPP
ponent in the next championship
match. The. title fight probably will
be held the last week in September.
Its site is yet uncertain but it is ex-

Bismarck Has Good Chance
Bismarck has good opportunity
to annex number of points in this
meet and, from all Indications. bet
ter it's record in the A. C.. meet last
Saturday. In the high jump, Loft
house took only second place in the
A. c. meet, with the high mark 5
feet PIG inches, while in the Capital
City meet he established a new rec
ord by jumping feet 6N inches. If
he is back in FORM, he should be
able to garner goodly number of
points for Bismarck in this event.
Wutzke took first in the mile at
Fargo and came in second in the half.
SO that chances for points, in these
events are excellent. Spriggs, in the
pole vault and possibly the high
jump, may place for points.
In the Slope meet, chances are also
good for Bismarck to place, although
the tracksters will meet formidable
opposition from Dickinson and some
of the other western towns.
