LABOR ISSUE FACED
IN OIL REF|NER|ES
New Code Fails to Eliminate
Friction Between Large
i and Small Firms.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
TULSA, Okla, August 26.-The oil
industry was busy today with unaccus-
toned duties and new problems, but
found time to watch with keen inter-
est for prospective changes In the
newly signed oil code.
New duties relate chiefly to labor
adjustments brought about by the code,
directly or indirectly, and include the
vexing union question, which Is grow
ing constantly.
RefiuerS Of the Midcontinent have
grown to wonder just which plant will
be selected next for attention by Or
ganizers Of labor. Workers Of three
plants at Okmulgee, Okla, were COM
bined in one union that received its
charter earlier this week.
Companies Surprised.
Decisions on how to meet this al
tered situation have been sketchy and
the companies by surprise. Taking
! advantage of optional provisions for
forming unions, labor leaders are al
legged by refiners to have misled work.
erS into believing unions are necessary
to carry out the Governments wishes.
The subject is growing in importance
daily and executives make no attempt
to minimize the delicacy Of the situa-
ton.
The oil business never has had labor
troubles in its quarters Of a CEN
| tury Of open-shop operation" the head
of one Tulsa firm said. I'VE have
successfully avoided trouble SO f.r but
we cannot know when another organ
izer may come along and spread his
propaganda. While unions are all
pie hi in thnip r,ln Nd %IA t~t.%
time, we cannot see the need of con-
fusing our workers and voluntarily
vesting increased power in the labor
organizations.
How greatly the oil code is changed
before it becomes effective September
2 is conceded to rest largely upon the
selected personnel of the Co-ordinating
Committee Of is that will supervise its
operation.
Price Clause Fought.
A committee stacked" with either
the majors or Independents would make
only for additional friction between
the two factions, while equal repre-
sentation by both crowds would leave
little hope for compromise on such
| vexing questions as price regulation.
Few believe the price clause will last
as written. 1t would base the price of
crude oil IN fixed ratio to the refinery
price of gasoline.
Independents in this area are up in
arms against the present wording,
which would give the more intricate
refining professors a clean advantage
in revenue over the small plant oper-
ator. The refiners using cracking proc
esses obtain from 10 to 35 per cent
more gasoline from their crude. and
gasoline of a higher Octane rating
with consequent greater revenue. as
far as cost of crude to the refiners
is concerned.
Another clause in the code would
prohibit integrated firms from oper-
ating one division at loss to anothers
gain. for income tax evasion purposes,
but there is nothing said about The
operation of all plants at a temporary
loss by well-financed companies to
squeeze" less well provided firms into
forced bankruptcy.

PLANS READY ON
BASIN

Sketches for a naval testing
basin, to be built near Washing
ton by the Navy Department, will
be presented to the Commission of
Fine Arts at it's meetings october
6 and z. It is proposed to locate
the basin near the Capital and
make its facilities available for
shippers of the country. It will
supercede the present one at the
Navy Yard.
The commission also will con-
slider plans for completion of
the Mall, 100000 having been
allocated for the project from the
Public Works Administration
fund.
Completion of. the Mall will
mean restoration of the central
axis of the Plan of L'Enfant of
1892 and, to a great extent, COM
pletion of the central composition
Of the plan of Washington.
Other problems to be presented
the commission will be considera-
tion of the type of bridge to re-
place, the old Chain Bridge; land
scape treatment of the grounds
of the Public Health Service
Building at Nineteenth Street and
Constitution Avenue, and details
of the approved design for the
proposed court building of the
Municipal Center.

Bratt Rum Plan for D. C..
Doomed, Says Britten

The plan to model the District
liquor control laws along the lines
Of the Bratt control system of
Sweden today stirred Representa-
tive Britten, wet Illinois Republi-
can, to predict doom for such a
proposal if it ever reached Con-
gress. He declared:
"Any un American system
which cOmpeIs the purchase Of
q meal in order to get a drink
will be emphatically rejected by
Congress-"
SUGGESTED BY DATA
Mr.. Britten's remarks were oc-
casioned by submission to Sena-
tor King, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, yesterday Of
data on the Bratt control system,
as we'll as plan by Rufus S..
Lusk, executive vice commander
of the Crusaders.
The Representative explained
that he was looking for ratifica-
tion of prohibition repeal early in
December, and that he does not
feel that a Christmas shopper
should be forced to buy a meal
just to get "bracer." He added:
"Any system which will make
a drink expensive will immedi-
ateIy set up speakeasieS and
boOtlegging facilities which
have been the curse of prOhibi-
tiOn.
FORESEES REJECTION
eff Corporation Counsel Will
liam w. Bride is buSying him"
self with a liquor control law
patterned after the Bratt Sys-
tenn, he might as well stop now,
for Congress will reject that
plan"
Meanwhile, illness of Senator
William H. King of Utah, chair
man of the District Committee,
caused postponement until Mon
day of a scheduled conference
with Bride on a proposed liquor
control act.
Bride Makes Reply
Bride, in response to Britten'S
statement, said:
81 am not an advocate of any
particular system of liquor con-
troll in the District. My duty is
merely to be prepared to advise
those who will determine the
question as to the merits and
objections of each system. I
am, therefore, studying the
various plans solely for that
purpose. When the study is
completed, the facts assembled.

RATES RISE
IN NEW ZONES

Taxicab patrons in the outlying
zones will begin paying an in.
creased fare after midnight to.
night.
The new rates were filed yester.
day with the Public Utilities Com
mission by operators of a dozen
major cab firms here, in addition
to a number of independents.
The new arrangement was ef-
fected by cutting the downtown
zone into two smaller zones. The
rate for the narrowed first zone
will remain at 20 cents, while the
charge for the second will be 80
cents.
In other words, patrons who
ride to the outlying sections of
what is now Zone l will pay 80
cents after today, instead of the
20-cent fare now charged.
The other zones, now the second
and third, will become the third
and fourth, respectively. Charges
will be so cents for the third and
10 cents for the fourth.
The fare for any trip which
does not necessitate the crossing
of a zone line will be 20 cents.
Crossing one of the outlying zone
boundaries will add 20 cents to
the bill, while crossing the first
zone boundary will add a 10-cent
charge.

GAS VALUATION
HEARINGS OFF

Hearings on the valuation of
properties of the washington and
Georgetown Gas Light Companies,
slated to begin Monday before the
Public Utilities Commission, have
been postponed indefinitely.
Announcement Of the delay is
contained in notice sent out to-
day by the commission to inter
ested parties, adding that two
weeks notice will be given before
resumption of the hearings.
No reason was given for the
postponement, but it is believed
to be due to the vacancy on the
Commission caused by the resig-
nation of Maj. Gen. Mason M.
Patrick, chairman. No appoint
ment has been made to fill this
vacancy and it is believed the
hearings will not be started until
someone is named to the post.
The hearings we're scheduled to
begin January l of this year, but
have been four times postponed
previous to the present delay.
The other postponements were to
give accountants for the company
time to complete compilation Of
data for the hearings.

PAGEANT Halls
TOBACCO CROP

LAPLATA, Md, Sept. 30.-A
gay party of Elizabethan charac.
ters appeared here yesterday
afternoon and helped Charles
county farmers pay tribute to the
tobacco plant.
Good Queen Bess ruled the
pageant in person, and Sir Walter
Raleigh again smoked the peace
pipe with friendly Indians.
And then, Sir John Hawkins,
portrayed by a descendent, Hol-
lins Hawkins, joined the assem-.
blage with a cargo of African
slaves. Hollins Hawkins was wont
to tell of his famous forebear.
He said:
He was contemporary with
Sir Francis Drake, and, like
him, 1 guess, he was pirate"
Governor Ritchie appeared at
the festival, and at the end of it
he congratulated the farmers on
their crop.
The pageant, THE Magic
Weed" was written by Mrs. Kath.
leen Read Coontz, who wrote sew
eral numbers for the Washington
Bicentennial.

PAYDAY DOUBTS
FELT BY 2,200

The 1900 temporary clerks
handling the cotton reduction pro-
gram for the agricultural adjust
ment administration are no longer
in doubt as to whether they will
be off tomorrow. but there is still
much uncertainty about the arri-
val of payday.
For the past two paydays, the
temporary workers have not re-
ceived their checks for three or
four days after all other local
Government employees have been
paid. There is consequently much
guessing in the south building Of
the Department of Agriculture as
to whether the ghost will walk
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
Tomorrow the cotton workers
will be off, although for several
weeks they were forced to work
every day, including Sunday.
