STANDARD OIL
COMP ANY GAINS
SWELL EACH YEAR
R ock eff eller Wealth
Multiplied Is Times
BY LELAND OLDS
Federated Press).

Once again the nnid-year dividend
discussion calls attention to the
enormous wealth Standard Oil has
poured into the Golfers of the multi
millionaire CLIQUE since the courts
dissolved the original trust under
the Sherman act in 1911. This
wealth is measured not only by the
total of S2.012.72S.422 in cash divi-
dends distributed from 1912 to June.
1928, but also by an expansion Of
more than S4,000.o00,0 900 in the
market value Of Standard Oil Sc
curities.
The expansion in market value is
little more than a capitalization Of
the increasing ability of the oil in
terests to profiteer at the expense
not only of the American people, but
of users of oil round the world.
Added to the cash dividends, it
brings the total wealth which Stand-N
ard Oil has grabbed for its owners in
the last Is years up to more than
sc, 0o0, 900, 900. This money was made
on investments with a market value
of 81 200, 548,4s5 in 1912.
Steady Increase.
There have been stock dividends
totalling s1.45O.s88.795 and stock
split-ups which do not alter the book
value of the outstanding securities.
But of greater Importance, although
less spectacular, has been the in
creasing amount the market is will
ing to paw for available stock in
whatever form offered. Thus $751;
3S3 shares of Standard Oil of New
Jersey, with a market value of 1915
a share, or a total of 1858, 768, 625
in 1912, have expanded to 24,317,219
shares, with a market value of
S42.75, worth a total of $1,039, 561,-
113 on July IT, 1928.
The Wall Street Journal also calls
attention to the days when John D.
Rockefeller purchased old Standard
Oil of New Jersey stock at less than
$500 share and people predicted he
would go broke if he kept up his
optimism.

Gambling by American
Legion Is Permitted

NEW ORLEANS, July 80 (FP).
Police stopped the roulette wheels
and other games of chance at the
Fourth of July festival of the

raise money for their sick fund. A
few hours later the order was coun-
fernandez and gambling went mer-
rily on. The Community Chest ap-
proved budget of $9,602.00 for the

POLAND WARNED
OF MANEUvERS
War Danger Turks in
Wilma Situation

BERLIN, August THE Ger
man foreign office sent note to
the Polish government today warn
ing them against the massing of
Polish troops on the Lithuanian
frontier.
With reports from Warsaw indie
ating that Poland is under a mill
tary rule with it's army holding
maneuvers and held in readiness for
field duty, massing of Pilsudski
legionnares, numbering 10000 SOL
diers, is scheduled for August IL at
Wilma, near the Lithuanian frontier
1t is believed that the antagonism
between Lithuania and Poland has
been fostered by Pilsudski's wilma
organ, Clos Prawdy, which has
published false reports of mobiliza-
ton of the Lithuanian army and
border clashes.

eight cases of peaches, 20 gallons of
coffee and 20 gallons of milk.
The following day, the police au'
thorities continued their starvation
policy, undoubtedly hoping thereby
to break the fighting determination
of the workers. The Workers In
ternational Relief again got into
action and sent several hundred
more sandwiches, coffee and fruit
to the imprisoned workers.
That night they were transferred
to the House of Correction where
they were given food" The Work
ers' international Relief, being in
formed that the food was not fit to
eat, again sent supplies to the
workers. This time, however, the
relief committee was barred, the ar
rested workers being compelled to
eat the garbage handed out or
starve. 1t is charged that those ar
rested on charges of robbery and
theft were given superior food in
the House of Correction that was
given to the arrested workers.
The Workers International Relief
intends to increase its relief work in
feeding the mass of strikers daily as
well as in being prepared for emer-
gencies such as Monday. Lack of
funds is making it difficult for the
relief committee to do all of the
necessary work that should be taken
care of.
Workers in all parts of the coun-
try are urged to rush funds to the

WOMEN ASSIST
! IN Mine RELIEF
Form Organization In
Many Cities
BY VERA RuCH

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 5.-The
miners wives who are appealing so
anxiously to the American working
class have not waited passively for
help to come from the outside. On
the contrary, the organized miners
wives have been extremely active in
relief work. While they cannot
even begin to fill the great need in
their villages, still their achieve
ments, considering the circum-
stances, are remarkable.
Anyone who knows the soft coal
region would not think it possible
to raise relief here. Company
towns where everyone is on strike,
ISOLATED by many miles from bigger
places where workers other than
miners live, towns far from rail
road line, bare little villages with
nothing but tho rows of miners
shacks, the union hall, a few littn
stores. But in these desolate mining
villages the women have managed
to do something.
Turtle Creek Tag Day.
The women of Renton and North
Bessemer are combining in a joint
tag day, in Turtle Creek and neigh
boring towns, for which they have
obtained permit. The North Bes-
semer women gave a picnic re-
Gently. They went out with empty
pocketbooks and came back with
s38. This was realized from the
admission fees and from. other
sources.
The women in Slickville take up
collections at their meetings. Each
member gives quarter. Here, they
have not been on strike so long,
and the quarter, with some sacri-
flee, can still be given.
Get Truckload of Food.
The women of Triadelphia, West
Virginia, went with a truck into the
eity Of Wheeling and came back
F'ith the truck loaded with food for
The strikers children's kitchen.
The methods of disposing relief
are just as varied In Bentleyville,
they take care of the sick out Of
their little fund, doctors bills, medi-
cine ard confinement cases. In
Lansing, Ohio, they recently shared
a great luxury among the members
"a sack of sugar for their coffee.
Some auxiliaries give relief money,
some give groceries, some take care
of only especially needy cases.
Work Progressing.
Women in many cities have or
ganized themselves into national
miners relief committees and send
what they collect through house to
house collections, picnics, tag days,
and entertainments of every vari-
ETY., to the central relief headquar-
tiers at Gil Penn Ave. Potatoes,
flour and other necessities are
bought in wholesale quantities and
sent to the mining camps.
