SHARE IN MANAGEMENT
URGED FOR EMPLOYEES
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fEcSS'
The Russell Sage Foundation declares
in a report on 10000 coal mine dlspuIes YES
in the last 80 years that neither tne
economic problem of the industry nor
the dissension in the Miners Union
could be dealt with effectively until
miners and operators were so organized
as to function together in the conslo-
Grafton of their joint interests.
so long as a large part OF the IN
dustry remains disorganized in It's hu-
man relations, there can be little CO.
operation in the elimination OF waste
and in the conservation of coal" the
report said. Strained relations between
miners and operators were due, 1t as
serted to the fact that the world out
put Of coal exceeds the demand Tor
the product.
Miners and mine owners must find
a way to adjust their differences In the
light Of their responsibility to the con-
sumner" it declared.
Recommendation that the miners be
given share in the management OF
mines in regard to their working con-
ditions" on the ground that it will pro-
duce "a freer, more satisfied and more
efficient body of workers" was made.
It added the worker wanted protection
against unjust discharge or indiscrim-
mate assignment to bad working places
and considered them as important as
higher wages.
Some miners were said to feel that
union officials surrendered their cases
to ingratiate themselves with the opera
tors. but the foundation noted that
while this suspicion might be berne out
In rare cases, it seemed unwarranted
generally. The report denied basis for
statements made by some operators that
many miners initiate disputes because
they had nothing to lose, but possibly
something to gain.

BALTIMORE SAVINGS
INTEREST REDUCED
Lower Yield on Securities Results
in Action by Banks, Says
Newcomer.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, June 3.-Effective yes
terday the 20 banks and trust compa-
MES OF the Baltimore Clearing House
reduced interest on savings accounts
from 4 to az per cent.
The reduction was brought about by
a reduced yield OF securities in which
the banks surplus funds have been in
vested, according to Waldo F. Newcomer
president of the clearing house
Newcomer AYERS that during the past
year interest rates have fallen to such
yielding SO much lower rates than
heretofore there is an actual loss on 4
per cent money.
Therefore, the banks have felt they
had before them only the choice OF de-
clining to accept savings accounts or
reducing the rate. and it was thought
to be in the interest of the public, and
also the banks themselves. to be frank
to continue to accept savings deposits
and give them the same careful atten-
ton. But this carried with it the neces-
sity for reduction of the rate Of
interest"
Putting the question UP to the clear
ing house members, no opposition was
encountered, said Newcomer.
While the move will affect all banks
clearing through the association, there
are several private and mutual institu-
tons which will continue present rates.
Heads of the larger of these organiZa
lions say they anticipate no reduction
for the present.

OIL MERGER TALK
REVIVED IN Street
Dropping of Vacuum Suit by
Government PIeases Pc
troIeum Interests. 8
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW York, June 3.-At a time when
Nationwide price slashing is adding
to the woes OF the oil industry, and
when crude oil in the mid-continent
area is at the lowest levels for the last
nine years. the announcement that the
Government has dropped its fight on
the projected merger of the Standard
Oh Co. of New York and the Vacuum
Oil Co. was greeted with expressions
of qualification today both by petro-
leum interests and financial circles here.
The decision Of the Department Of
Justice opens the way TO the union of
two OF the principal units of the old
Standard Oil Co.. which dissolved in
1911, and naturally encourages other
mergers Of oil companies. Wall Street.
however, entertains no hopes that a
flood Of Oil mergers will follow imme-
diately.
Merger talk was revived today, with
emphasis on the point that CONSOLE
dation Of Standard Oil of New jersey
with Standard of California is now a
possibility, but in this connection it Is
observed that Jersey Standard has
enough surplus oil on its hands with
out taking on more through such an al
lance. There have also been reports
LildG oldIlUdIQ Vi OIllO NIllO I'll
Co. might unite, but the present is
hardly an suspicious time for this or
other mergers. It will be recalled that
the Vacuum. New York Standard mer-
ger plan was initiated more than a
year ago. in February, 1880. It's terms
will now undoubtedly be revised. in view
OF the change in the relative price
levels OF the two stocks since that time.
What is chiefly occupying the at
tention Of the petroleum industry today
Is not mergers, but overproduction and
price cutting. The price structure in
the oil industry has practically COL
lapsed under the influence of flush
production. The American Petroleum
Institute reported today that the new
East Texas field has again taken lead
ership in swelling crude oil production.
In the week ended May 80 this area
increased its daily average output
ALSO barrels over the preceding week
to a total Of $50 900 barrels. However,
the net increase for the country in
the week has held to $4,000 barrels. as
both Oklahoma and California made
slight cuts in production.

NEW YORK. June 3.-The fog that
blanketed the opening Of the Curb Ex-
change today, as a result Of the many
unfavorable overnight newt develop
ments. lifted as the session progressed
because of a series of constructive hap
penings.
Following the reduction Of margin re-
ouirements by banks, came rumorS of a
concerted bull drive and unconfirmed
reports Of efforts at banking support,
not entirely borne out by tn: tape, to
dislodge some short stop-loss orders.
Vacuum Oil was the outstanding fea-
ture, as it rose about IL points. ALUMNI
mum Co. Of America. on a relatively
large volume for that stock, advanced
about Is points in the late afternoon.
A scramble of shorts to cover their
commitments In American Superpower
was shown by the appearance Of several
big blocks at rising quotations.
Electric Bond g. Share was up about
points and Cities Service was up
nearly 1. The rise in the latter bene-
fitted its subsidiaries, such as Indian
Territory Illuminating, Arkansas Nat
ural Gas and Ohio Public Service, all
OF which had been weak in midafter-
noon.
Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania tried to
emulate that other Mellon issue,
Aluminium Co. of America by the
rapidity of its recovery. Divers other
issues joined in the rally. which closed
many of the active shares at their best
levels of the day.

STEAM MOST IMPORTANT
IN POWER PRODUCTION
BY the Associated Press.

Assistant Secretary Of Commerce
Klein said that in the actual produc-
ton of electric power, steam els a more
important factor than water and will
continue so until the discovery of some
new method of utilizing natural energy.
The building of dams, reservoirs
and pipe lines seems more interesting
than the setting up OF a factory. full
of furnaces, boilers and steam tur-
bines." he said. Yet there is hardly
water-power project that does not
require for its economical operation the
construction beside it Of a steam
plant"
Mr.. Klein explained that the tech
nology of steam power had been max
ing rapid strides in the last 20 years.
Steam power generation was compare
lively expensive 20 years ago, when the
most efficient plants could get no more
than Is per cent efficiency from their
fuel-that is, IS per cent Of the energy
in each pound of coal burned was lost
before the power became available. 1t
has always been more expensive to de-
velop a water-power system than to
set up steam plant. A water-power
system, including transmission, may
cost between 5000 and $500 per horse
power Of capecity. but steam-turbine
plant, which can be located at the cen
power transmission Is required, will cost
not more than 500 per horsepower.
Once In operation, however, hydro
electric plant cost less to operate than
q steam plant Of the same capacity"
