Branded Petrol Reaches
1876 Cents a Gallon,
Unbranded 14.5.
FEUD LASTED 6 WEEKS
AND Crippled 18 STATES
Old Margin Of Dealer Profit Re-
Saskatchewan descent Price
Not Expected.

Motorists who failed to fill their
tanks to capacity yesterday have
waited a day too long.
Branded straight" gasoline ad-
vanced 4 cents with the opening of
business today to price of 15.5
cents per gallon. Distributors of I'M
branded gas delayed for several hours
to advance their prices, remaining at
los cents for straight" fuel until
noon. Then their prices also went
up cents to las, cent below the
prices Of their larger competitors.
The new prices have put an end to
the six weeks feud that began with
gasoline selling at 1853 cents. It was
the most protracted fight of its kind
washington has seen since the petro-
leum code was put into effect. The
battle front likewise set a record, ex-
tending into 18 Eastern and South
eastern States.
Organization Gets Results.
Settlement of the local price stu
alton was attributed to the recently
organized Associated Service Stations
Of Branded Petroleum Products who
found themselves caught between the
large chain companies and the deal
ers in unbranded gas. These two fac
lions waged the war, but the inde-
pendent dealers not a party to the
warfare had to cut their prices to
meet the reductions or close shop.
Meanwhile, they saw their margin
of profit reduced l cent by the dis
tributors from whom they purchased
their products. The advance of 4
cents today will restore the old
margin.
The Standard Oil Co. announced
that it does not anticipate any i'm
mediate return to the 'pre-war" price
Of 1853 cents. This was attributed to
the presence of an oversupply of
gasoline in the East.

RELIEF WORKERS
FOR CENTER HIT
Taxpayers and Contractors
Groups Protest Aliens
Proposal.

Commissioner Aliens proposal that
relief labor be employed on con-
struction of the Municipal Center
under an arrangement to have con-
struction handled by the District En-
gineer Department was attacked today
by two Washington organizations.
Protests came from the Washington
Taxpayers Protective Association and
the Associated General Contractors of
America, Inc. Both held that expert
ence shows greater efficiency is
achieved by awarding such work
under contract to private firms.
The taxpayers association also
urged that steps be taken to assure
the employment of bona fide WASH
ington labor on the $4,000, 900 sewage
disposal plant at Blue Plains, D. C.
A letter from the association, drafted
by Rufus S. Lusk, secretary, urged
that the contractors be held reSpon-
sible to employ men who have been
residents here for at least two years.
Oath Would Be Required.
He suggested that the men be re-
quired to state under oath that they
are bona fide residents.
Protesting against the plan to en-
ploy relief labor on the Municipal
Center, Lusk declared such a plan
may cost more since it is the expe-
rience from time immemorial that
the Government cannot do things as
cheaply as private contractors" He
argued also that the plan to use re-
lief labor would prove an incentive
to those in need of work to join the
relief army"
What the men have been doing who
get the jobs makes no difference" he
added. IF they are local men, and
we believe that they should be,
whether on relief or not, the relief
rolls should be reduced in proportion
to the number of new jobs.
Important Purpose.
"Since Washington taxpayers are
helping to support the 10000 on relief
and are paying for the labor on the
sewer plant, it would be defeating an
important purpose in providing funds
for its erection if the work is done by
outsiders"
The Associated General Contractors,
in a letter from Edward j. Harding,
manager, approved the campaign to
start construction of the Municipal
Center, but said the body was I'M
equivocally opposed to having the prof.
ect handled by the District Engineer
Department.
He argued that experience showed
contracts awarded under competitive
bidding makes for the greatest econ
omy; that if the construction industry
is to be denied its customary place sit
must fail to function as a medium for
national recovery, and that the limit
ing of employment on the project to
washington residents and from relief
rolls may be accomplished by means
of specifications.

New York, Dec. 13-(P)-There is a
strong probability that the current
major league baseball meeting may
wind up Thursday night without a
single major deal to put an edge on
the otherwise dull and lifeless pro-

This unheard of situation developed

the bag, with the Giants sending a
young pitcher and wad of cash to
Philadelphia in return for George
Davis, all outfielder for whom Bill
Terry has cried since the day he sent
him away; the Phillies for their part
were to turn the cash and Catcher Al
Todd over to the Pirates in exchange
for Lloyd Waner and Earl Grace, a

fielder to replace Waner. tried to
