Independent Oil Men
Advise Price Increase
To Meet War Demand
Association Head Says
Transportation Won't
End Shortage in East
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, June 49,
Heavy demands of war on the pc.
troleum industry and dwindling re.
serves have left the Nation facing
a debacle that will jeopardize the
var effort" President Frank But
tram of the Independent Petroleum
Association of America declared to-
day.
Asserting that there must be an
increase in the price of crude ia
spur the oil prospectors to 20 look
ing for new pools, Mr.. Buttram said
In prepared statement that "even
improved transportation cannot ease
the oil shortage in the East"
I'm the last year discoveries of
new fields represented only about
one-fifth OF the amount of oil we
consumed. We are facing a debacle
that will jeopardize the war effort.
There won't be enough oil this fall
to meet demands"
The petroleum industry war coun-
Gil reported in February, the IPAA
president said, that the maximum
efficient productive capacity from
all known United States fields was
$4,000 barrels a day less than the
average annual minimum essential
demands.
By the first quarter of 1914, he
estimated, demand will hit a peak
of 4,350,0O0 barrels daily. compared
with average daily production of
$4,000 barrels in April of this
year.
To meet this increased demand
of 100000 barrels daily, he esti-
mated it would be necessary to dis
cover new pools greater than all
those in Oklahoma. Only Texas
and California exceed this daily
production
Mr.. Buttram listed three factors
In maintaining production at a
maximum and in finding new oil
materials, manpower and money.
The most important of these now
Is money. The price of crude has
been kept at a depressed level for
years so that the oil producer is
unable to secure funds to expand
explorators effort . and to main
tain existing properties in efficient
operating conditions"

Guilty factory heads had In convinc
ing far-sighted workers they needed
glasses. Injuries from the failure
to protect properly the eyesight, irri-
tation and consequent loss of effec-
tiveness because glasses were not
worn, and bad accidents resulting
from faulty vision were factors af-
fecting production, Mr.. Bowman
said. AS a result, Secretary of Labor
Perkins Is behind the countrywide
tour wherein Mr.. Bowman is en-
deavorlng to stop unnecessary pro-
duction time losses by employees who
neglect using eye conserving aids.
An example of this, Mr.. Bowman
declared, was the tendency of work.
ers to discard goggles given to them
by employers. Using slides, he
showed how failure to wear goggles
resulted in accidents sometimes so
serious as to end in blindness for
the victim. He said 88 per cent of
the objections were not sound, but
frequently poorly fitting goggles or
those not fitted to the workers eyes
produced irritation so great as to
lmpel the wearer to throw them
away.
Mr.. Bowman, relating the spe-
clal problem to the general sub
1ect OF saving eyesight, said char

credulous workers. Approximately

Larger Pay Benefits
To Cheer Thousands
OF Army Families

Thanks to the combined efforts of
Congress and the Once Of Deepen
dency Benefits, more than half a
million children Of soldiers will be
better cared for this Christmas than
at any time since their fathers en-
tered the Army, it was announced
today.
Brig. Gen H. N. Gilbert, director
of the ODB, which administers
family allowances to dependents of
servicemen. reported that the 454,-
1888 accounts set up for Army wives
with children have been converted
from the old to the new larger pay
ments.
Under the old payments, a wife
with one child received s62 month
Under the new pay system, which
went into effect a month ago, 4 wife
with one child receives $50.
The job of converting family al
loWances to parents, brothers and
sisters OF servicemen is now unde,
way, Gen. Gilbert said. These
as well as allowances to divorced
wives, must be individually ad-
judicated.
i wish to commend the ODB en-
ployes,' said Gen. Gilbert. Many
OF them worked many extra hours
to accomplish this job of convert
ing active class A family allowance
accounts. I am sure they will all
feel a sense of satisfaction in know
ing that their efforts will mean a
merrier Christmas in thousands of
soldiers homes this year"
