West Indies Oil Cuts
Into Foreign Markets
For u. 5. Exports
Refineries at Curacao
And Arubu Forced to
Seek Outlets
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Mines reported
yesterday that Curacao and Aruba
ref1neries were cutting deeply into
United States petroleum export
markets in Europe.
Continental Europe, officials said,
took only "a per cent of total United
States exports in 1896, compared
with 40 per cent in 1929, despite a
40 per cent increase in European
mineral oils consumption.
This decline, they said, was Cue
in large measure to a partial re-
placement by exports from these
two small islands lying of the
Venezuelan coast in the Netherland
West Indies.
THE change in the tariff policy
of the United States in 1892" the
report said, may be fairly said to
have accelerated this tendency.
In the face of excise duties which
virtually eliminated imports of gaso-
line into continental United States
and materially reduced imports of
fuel oil for internal consumption, "
the report continued, "the only al
ternatives for the reflneries of Cura-
Gao and Aruba were to curtail op-
erations or to seek new markets
for their products

j. 4. W. Convention
Called 10 Decide
Martins 5 Status
Opposition Boord Acts
For Showdown at
Union Heads Invitation

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Jan. 18.-The rank
and file will act as judge and jury
in settling the long and torrid fac
tional fight among the officers of
the United Auto Workers Union.
The huge c. I. o. unit, which
claims a membership of nearly 400,-
900, prepared formal notices today
calling locals to special conven-
tion to decide, principally, the status
of President Homer Martin.
The convention, by declaration of
the unions anti-Martin Executive
Board yesterday, will open in Cleve-
land on March 20. continuing in
definitely until business is COM
pleted."
The board announced today its
Endorsement of Mr.. Martins negotia-
tions with the Ford Motor Co., which
previously had been a source of
criticism of the youthful union
leader.
George F.. Adde's. secretary-treas-
urer of the U. A. w. and a leader of
the anti-Martin group, said:
Members of the International
Executive Board have gone over the
Ford situation as reported by Presi-
dent Martin and are authorizing
him and instructing him to proceed,
with hope that a proper settlement
will be brought about which will
restore to hundreds of Ford workers
the jobs to which they are entitled :"
The board had charged that Mr.
Martin was concealing from other
U. A. w. officials his dealings with
the Ford company, only major nom
unionized automobile firm.
Long awaited as the Showdown"
to test Mr.. Martins power, the
convention will elect international
officers and board members and
make such constitutional changes
as 1t deems necessary"
Martin Invites Test.
Mr.. Martin. fought for months
by board rivals who have branded
him a dictator" has invited the
rank and file to say whether they
want me as president"
In accepting his challenge to
leave all issues to convention, the
board conceded Mr.. Martin q point
but only on its own terms. He
sought the convention for Detroit
The board set it for Cleveland, con-
sidered less of a Martin stronghold
Again, Martin proposal that
representation in the convention be
determined on the basis of per cap
ita taxes paid by March l was turned
down. The board named December
81, 1898 as that deadline date. Mr..
Martin had recommended April l
as the convention date.
Fail to Answer Point.
The board gave no answer to Mr..
Martins recommendation for ap-
pointment of a siX-man impartial,
non-factional' committee to name
credentials and other committees.
Mr.. Martin proposed that he, as
president, name three members and
the board the other three.
Since the board opened its current
sessions last week it has divested
Mr.. Martin of editorial supervision
of the unions weekly newspaper
and reinstated officers of q Detroit
local suspended by him.

Steel Industry
Is Expecting Boost
From Railroads
Trade Estimates Orders
For Rails Will Double
Last Year
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s-The Iron
Age said today the steel trade esti-
mated railroad orders for rails this
year would approximate 100000
tons, double the amount rolled last
year.
Iron and steel sales generally to
the railroads, the trade publication
reported, are expected to exceed the
1888 figure by at least so per cent.
Among rail orders coming into
the market it cited Union Pacific
ALLEGATIONS for upward of 100000
tons of rails and accessories, 1000
to 1000 box cars and a small amount
of passenger equipment, all in the
inquiry stage.
40 Locomotives Planned.
Southern Pacific, it noted, plans
to buy 40 locomotives in addition to
5000 tons of rails. The Missouri
Pacific was mentioned as likely to
come into the market with sizable
orders for rails and other equip
ment.
"Other than railroad prospects,"
contlnued the review, many of
which will not materialize in mill
rollings for some weeks at least, steel
demand is not gathering much
fresh momentum.
Points to improvement.
However. the general trend of
new projects is pointing to more
marked improvement at some future
date, possibly in February.
THE automobile industry is buy
ing hand-to-mouth, carefully watch
ing its production schedules so that
assemblies will not outrun retail
sales. Large purchases are not ex-
pected before early February, when
the spring outlook for car sales will
be clearer"
The periodical placed steel in
got production for the week at
SO per cent of capacity, slight
increase over the preceding week.
The Iron Age composite scrap
steel price was raised to SIS, its
1888 peak, by disappearance of the
$3.50 minimum at Chicago, where
a fiat quotation of $14 prevails.

Fast and Slow Skids
Offer Two Sets
Of Problems
Quick Turn Of Wheel
To Right Necessary
To Correct Latter

1t Is an interesting commentary
on safety that after all these years
Of driving cars motordom is Just
coming around to drawing a distinc-
ton between the fast skid and the
slow skid. Since skidding in its
various varieties can fall into either
the slow or fast group the automo-
bile operator is faced with the prob
lem Of meeting just about twice the
number of skids he has previously
been considering.
While slow skid gives the driver
more opportunity to decide the type
Of trouble he faces and to select
the proper remedy, 1t usually comes
on him unawares and he may be
well along to the danger point be-
fore he has a chance to act. A fast
skid may startle the driver by its
suddenness, but at least he knows
