The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-03-06

AS leaders discussed possibili-
ties of early adjournment, the
general idea is that action will be
limited to the remaining appro-
priation bills, the measure to pro-
vide road aid authorizations for
the next two years, to amend the
National Labor Relations Act
and a conference report on the
Wheeler-Lea transportation bill.
This is the talk at present, but
the probability is that other items
will be included, and if we are
to judge by the past, adjourn
ment will be later than now
hoped for.

judgment for 1900, only to have
the case sent back by the state

LOTS OF GASOLINE
 BURNED up IN '39

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Consump- tion of gasoline and other motor fuels in the United States reached @ new record high in 19339, total ing 552,000,00O barrels compared with 522o00,00O barrels in 1888 and 5l9,OO0,O0O in 1937.
 Profits of major oil refining com panies failed to follow consumption upward, however, as overproduction brought weakness in the price of gasoline
