.DO[[AR-A-BARRE[
OIL IS OBJECTIVE
Industry's Planning Commit
tee Seeking Price at
Second Session.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Dollar-a-barrel oil, at least, was stili
the objective Of the industry's Planning
Committee today at the second day of
its meeting.
There were possibilities the formula
for arriving ut the price might be
changed
Most Of the representatives felt their
recommendation to Secretary Ickes
should not put the price to the public
much higher at this time
ALLEGATION Not Determined,
While no figure on ALLEGATION OF pro-
duction had been determined, approxi-
mately 2,250, 900 barrels annually may
be recommended. The difficulties Of
allocating production quotas to the
different States were getting attention,
along with price, since the Oil code goes
into effect tomorrow
Meeting for the first time yeste. day,
members of the Planning and Co-ordin-
ating Committee moved swiftly to have
their plan ready by tomorrow. Before
them were the basic topics of how
far the Government should go imme-
QlaCely IN nXlng prices, ana the all0-
cation of national production to meet
the national demand so uncertainty re-
sulting from unchecked flow of crude
to market could be ended.
A base price of between S and 8
cents gallon for gasoline at whole
sale at the refinery, against which the
cost of q barrel of crude oil would be
pegged under the codes price section,
was said reliably to be in prospect.
Some Favor Delay.
Whether It would be recommended
at once or q few days would elapse in
which production control machinery
could be set up formed one Of the
questions the committee had before 1t,
with some favoring delay.
The present price of gasoline at re-
fnery. that would form the base. runs
around Az cents, indicating that set
ting the base proposed might cause re-
tail gasoline prices to be advanced I
cent or a cent and half to help meet
increased costs Of supplies to dis
tributors.
Under the code. a barrel of crude
oil of q set quality t236-369 mid-con-
tinent gravity shall sell at 185 times
the price Cf gallon of gasoline of
fixed quality t60-64 octane rating,
with President Roosevelt authorized to
fix the base price Of the gasoline for
test period.

busiest of all the squads working under
the supervision Of Inspector Frank S.

During the last fiscal year, for in
stance, Mansfield. Cox and Schreyer
closed 705 cases-an average Of just a
shade less than two a day. In addition,
the detectives investigated an inestim-
able number Of other cases, which. for
one reason or another. they were un-
able to mark off as closed"
Although the squad handled all kinds
of cases, those involving non-support
outnumbered all the others by margin
OF almost 2-to-1. Non-support cases
totaled 103. while the next highest clas-
sification-bad checks-numbered only

member of the New York State Indus
trial Commission.
Senators do not wish to have an
open break with President Roosevelt
over patronage In view of the present
popularity of the President it behooves
them to stick to him. Furthermore,
most of the Democratic Senators sin
cerely wish to go along with the
President. So for the time being, no
matter how provoked, individual Semi
tors are holding their peace.
Want More Consideration.
They are irritated because Repub-
licans are being retained in offices.
some of them important ones. by de-
partment heads and being appointed
by heads of new agencies. But more
particularly are they disgusted because
they have been ignored, or given the
most perfunctory notice that appoint
merits in their States are about to be
made. They maintain that they are
the men who have to uph<,sa the ad-
ministrations hands. who is&ve to pass
the laws demanded by the President
and who have to lead the campaigno
for Democratic victories in their States.
They insist that more consideration is
due them.
The two Democratic Senators from
Tennessee recently evolved a plan to
remove a possible political firebrand
with a view to coming elections Of
Governor of that State. They decided
L, H. Pope, who ran as an independent
candidate for Governor when he failed
to be nominated at the Democratic prl-
mary, should have job in the Gov
ernment service This might Keep him
out of the race for Governor in 1884.
But up to date it appears that the
appointing powers have not yet fallen
in with this plan. The doors have not
been closed, however, and Mr.. Pope
may return.
Walsh Also Irritated.
The case Of Senator David I. Walsh
of Massachusetts,, dominating figure in
the Democratic party in the Bay State,
differs somewhat from that of his sem
atorial colleagues in connection with
patronage Senator Walsh was an
ardent supporter Of al Smith at the
Chicago Democratic National Conven-
ton and before that. The Roosevelt
Democrats in Massachusetts,. although
showed under in the primaries by the
Smith Democrats, are getting some OF
the plums. The Presidents son, James
Roosevelt, is the patronage dispenser
apparently in Massachusetts,. Senator
Walsh has made no public comment
whatever.. on the situation. He is max
ing no bteak now with the President
But any one who believes that the Sem
ator from Massachusetts is not irri-
tated is sadly mistaken.
Postmaster General Farley and his
aides are doing their best with the
patronage mess. They are endeavoring
to get things Strengthened out and to
pacify the Senators. He has had to
take care of men who were "F. R. B. c."
for Roosevelt before Chicago. But he
has explained clearly his ideas of Fed
eral patronage and how it should be
handled in magazine article Of his own.

That may not be evident for q while,
but you will see confirmation Of 1t when
the price of coal starts going up.
Economists inside believe 1t Is a good
compromise They realize that the
price of soft coal may go very high.
That may encourage the use of substi-
tutes.
However. 1t seems to be the only
chance Of saving the industry 1t is
in bad way. Few mines are operat-
ing at profit Most are kept going
only because it Is cheaper to run them
and lose little money than to close
them and lose q lot.
Deteri0rate Rapidly.
Once a mine is left idle. 1t deteri-
featuring plant. That deterioration
angle is connected with the labor phase
Of it.
Widespread strikes now would be
doubly harmful. The mines would be
unable to care for demand while en-
tering upon their big season Of the
year. Also their veins would gather
costly moss.
Lewis has been signing miners right
and left. The estimate of SO per cent
probably Is much too high. However
If 1t is only 10 per cent it means the
United Mine Workers organization has
been revived as powerful unit after
being dead for years.
Money Made on Gold Edict.
A lot Of money was made in the
stock market out Of the Presidents gold
mining concession
Those in the know here expected it
six weeks ago. Since then gold stocks
have been a hot tip.
Some who bought earlier got cold
feet recently and sold out. However
they made money because all the stocks

The following communique was
issued after the conversations:
after a full and exhaustive ex.
change of ideas on the general
situation, the ministers examined
the project for understanding of
larger political questions, put for
ward by Premier Mussolini, with
the object of securing the collab-
Grafton of the four big western
powers in an effort to promote,
in the spirit of the Kellogg pact
and mo force, a declaration of a
long period of peace in Europe
and the world"
Prime Minister Macdonald later
told the United Press: 81 am glad
to have spent this weekend with
Premier Mussolini with such good
results"
Mussolini said the principles
enunciated in his pact coincide
with the general lines of the Mac
Donald plan. The first portion o.
the Mussolini plan outlines tn
principle of the Kellogg pact bu
offers also additional sanctions, OF
penalties, to be taken in case dis
agreement in the future is likely
| to lead to armed conflict.
