More than 500 police were on duty
in San Francisco, Oakland and Ala

before the plants were to have open

taken to avert violence but there
was no cali for police. The plant
workers made no attempt TO pass
tho picket lines.
The procedure at Bethlehem ship
building Corps San Francisco plant
was typical. The plant holds $780,
100000 in defense work. Most Of
the 1000 men employed there ap-
peared outside the plant before
starting time. Picket lines massed
in front of the man gates with
police standing by. The workers
gathered in little groups, talked a
while among themselves and then
dispersed.
AT Moore Drydocka in Oakland,
second largest operation affected,
the management announced that no
one would be permitted to enter
the plant during the strike. At the

LOS ANGELES, May II. CUP)-
The oil producers agency of Cali
fornia today reported that a sur
vey indicates representative oil
companies operating in several
fields and districts OF the state"
are operating at an average loss of
S.l38 per barrel. The agency's re-
port asked higher prices for the
oil producer.
Results of the survey made of
production costs and crude oil prices
for the past year were being mailed
today to more than 1000 California
operators, including all the pur-
chasing companies.
The report said that the pro-
ducers have been operating at a
loss ever since the price reduc-
ton of Feb. l, 1910, and still are
operating at a loss despite last
months rise in prices.
THE producer" SAID the report,
is facing still higher costs in every
element of his business-for sup
plies, for general costs, and for
taxes-all of which must be PAID
for out of his only income, the
selling price of the oil he produces.
1t is essential, therefore, that he
receive still higher prices for his
OIL"
The report said further that the
average California refinery is oper-
ating at loss.
"A recent test, mace dp OF SAM
piles of "a crudes from II fields in
the Los Angeles basin and San
Joaquin Valley shows that there
is an average refinery loss of two
cents per barrel, the average posted
price being 81 cents pc, barrel, and
the average refinery net return
being 95 cents per BARREL" the re-
port said. 1T is imperative, there
fore, that prices fol refined prod
uctS also increase"

emily casting her diplomatic weight
against Britain in Iraq caused some
concern.
The full significance of Russia S
move in Iraq was not clear but it
seemed obviously timed to give NOR
al support to the Iraqi regime of
pro-Nazi Premier Rashid Ali AL
Gallant who has risen against the
British in this vital sector.
FRIENDLY" GESTURE
The Russian announcement, as
circulated by the Official Tass news
agency, said that Russia had given
diplomatic recognition TO RaShid s
regime and agreed to an exchange
OF diplomatic missions.
Russia's step contrasted sharply
with that of Iran Persia which
was reported in British sources to
have declined to give its support
to Rashid Turkey also has been
holding more or less aloof from;
RaShid as has Saudi Arabia while
the pro- British regime in Trans
Jordania has been cooperating with
the British in their efforts to re-
gain control of Iraq.
Even Germany does not at tbs
moment have diplomatic relations
