 New Fuel War Looms

Attempt to negotiate an inn provement in working conditions were discussed at meeting of the Standard oil company employees with officials of the company at the South Fifth street plant office this morning. It is understood that the station attendants who were at the pumps during this mornings meet ing will be in session this after noon. The Democrat has learned that there was q substantial wage cut given all employees at stations and drivers about three weeks ago and that the Waterbury attendants through their spokesmen were rep- resented at meeting in Hartford yesterday. Today's meeting with all employees was called with the completion of the session in Hart ford.
 Wynn Mearle, supervisor of the Waterbury district declined to issue a formal statement on this mor- ning's meeting, but said that the gathering was one of regular pro- cedure for the purpose of straight ening out any difficulties that may have arisen amongs the men, and for the improvement of the com pany's facilities.
 However, 1t is known that all Socony stations must show an in- creased business during the next twelve months and the gross re- ceipts must be greater than those of other companies or the commits sion paid the attendants will be forfeited. The action Is believed to be the beginning of a ifew3i war among the retailers of motor fuel that may eclipse the price war that waged last fall. and in which all companies were implicated.
