Oil Experts Forecast
Largest Gasoline
Stocks in History
Spring Storage TotoIs
Expected to Exceed
March, 1888, Peck
By SMITH REAVIS,
Press Business Writer.

ASSOCldtcu EiCSo odoASSS V'eAeSA'
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE biggest
supplies of gasoline in history were
forecast for March in oil circles to-
day.
Some experts expected spring
storage totals of motor fuel to mount
to around 95, 900 900 barrels, topping
the previous record high of $780,
600 barrels rung up in March, 1888.
Last fall the petroleum business
anticipated gasoline supplies OF
around 82,0OO00O barrels in March
this year, but already that mark has
been passed.
Latest figures show finished and
unfinished gasoline in storage tanks
at $1,000 900 barrels. contrasted with
s0.985, 900 a week earlier and 1885,
600 a year ago at this time.
The Jump of 1.0l7,000 barrels for
the opening week of 1910 was regis
tered despite a cut in gasoline pro-
duction of $4,000 barrels.
This is the time of year that gaso-
line production normally outruns
consumption, and stocks are built up
with the view they will be pared by
expanded automobile use during the
summer. Last year 10000, 900 barrels
were added to supplies in the first
quarter and in 1888 around 15,000,-
900.
Many Factors Blamed.
Add $4,000 900 or 10000 900 barrels
to present stocks of 100000 and
you will note possible March. 1910,
stocks In excess even of the 95000,-
900 barrels now being forecast.
The expanding of gasoline sup
plies is attributed to a variety OF
factors. Some of these are:
/. Increased refinery operations
because of demand for other prod
ucts of petroleum, including fuel
oil, which has boosted gasoline out
turn. (Gasoline is but one Of many
products of petroleum reflning)
Q. A month of cold, snappy
weather, which curtailed motor
travel somewhat. decreasing gaso-
line consumption.
To some degree the European war
has had its part in building of the
big domestic gasoline stocks. Re-
finery operations were held almost
at the high summer levels last fall
not only to prepare for wider con-
sumption of fuel oil but also to
turn out oil and gasoline for the
European trade But the gasoline
export business has been bad.
Military Orders Lag.
Orders for military gas from Eu-
ropean nations have not developed
on the scale first expected. More
over. the warfare on the seas
slowed movement of motor fuel con-
tracted for.
In addition, because of the ra-
tioning of gasoline for civilian use
abroad, European consumption &C
tually is declining. And oil COM
panies doing an export business
have lost the big "peacetime" mar
ket Europe afforded for the slough
ing off of excessive gasoline sup
plies here.

now. BY that time five, ten or fifteen
hour week will probably be necessary.
With machines eliminating $3.50 of
the labor cost of production, it seems
apparent that the shorter hours will
not solve the problem, but, that event
ually $3.50 of the people will be unem-
ployed. The later is probably looking
too far into the future. Most assured
ly there will have to be something
more adequate than a few dollars un-
employment insurance for a period of
l3 weeks per year.
With the mass production methods
we have, and surplus of everything
but a proper method Of distribution,
we, the workers, and even the inven
tors and employers who displace en-
ployes, know that all humanity is en-
titled to more equitable distribution
of the products of industry. This be-
ing agreed, why not labor, employers
and inventors get together and invent
the necessary machinery for adequate
distribution and security to all.
