commercial importance because OF
war damage and neglect.
The refineries stand on opposite
banks of the Moesi River. The
Japanese built two bridges across
the river and operated the plants
as single unit.
The most heavily damaged
partly because of the scorched
earth action which prevented the
japanese from using 1t for year
was the American-owned Soengei
Gerong plant of Standard Vacuum
The other is the Pladjoe plant OF
Royal Dutch Shell.

Palembang found the city guarded

troops Hunger is widespread in
the island.
The japanese said they kept the
refineries producing at from Is to
40 per cent of normal capacity de-
spite three major air raids.
The first raid, by American Super
Fortresses in August. 1914. was one
of the longest bombing missions Of
the war. The B-29s operated from
a specially-built field at Trincom-
alec, Ceylon.
Two heavy attacks also were
carried out by British carrier
based aircraft last January. ~
The japanese closed the twin
refinery on post-surrender orders
from Tokyo September S, reporting
the average crude oil production at
80, 900 barrels a day.
This compared with normal
prewar daily production of $1,000
barrels from the American-owned
plant and about $1,000 barrels from

be in management of the mines.
But Mr.. Lewis-in a telegram yes
terday to Ezra Van Horn of the
National Bituminous Negotiating
Committee of Cleveland-said this
about the mine owners refusal to
meet with him:
II fear greatly that your insolent
attitude viii have a highly pro-
vocative effect on the minds Of
your disappointed foremen and su-
pervisors.
We deplore these circumstances
and again ask you to join us in a
calm approach in joint conference
to a solution of the controversy"
BY mid-afternoon Mr.. knight
said he saw no chance of reaching
wide settlement yesterday. In
explaining why his union would be
willing to settle for less than the
original fiat 80 per cent demand, he
said:
I'VE prefer the 80 per cent method
of settling but will settle for IS
cents. We won't quarrel over the
method.
IF the dispute was settled on
basis of 80 per cent, this would be
an increase of 38.1 cents"
The strike of the oil workers had
spread to eight States when repre-
sentatives of the companies and
the union met in Chicago. They
made no progress. Then Mr.. Schwel-
lenbach called the conference here

the Labor Secretary-whom Presi-

Mr.. Knight said "the oil COM
panies and not the union have been
preventing supply of oil to essential
services and the Army and Navy.
He said he had ordered the unions
locals to make oil available for doc
tors nurses, hospitals, fire and police
departments, public transportation
and the armed forces.
William L. Knous, Colorado Su-
preme Court justice and chief Of the
Governments conciliation panel in
the oil dispute, said the Government
had no objection to settlement on an
individual company basis.
And Mr.. Schwellenbach told the
conference the meeting had not
been called for the purpose of set
ting a pattern for insisting upon a
system Of industry wide bargain
ing"
Stating that the whole Nation is
affected by an oil strike, he told
company and union men that II do
not approve" of the strikes and shut
downs which already have occurred
He said:
This isn't any time, during this
period of delicate balance, for labor
on the one hand to say we must do
this and we must do that and the
Government must do this or that
and it isn't any time, members of
industry, for you to be taking a
