Far West Depicting
Gas and Oil Rapidly
In Refinery Strike
By the Assoeioted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-Far
Western States were rapidly depict
ing gasoline and fuel oil supplies
today, with no predictable end in
sight to the CIO oil workers strike.
There arose the danger Of huge crop
losses II the motor transportation
system is crippled.
Holiday drivers, buzZing up and
down the highways, were . critical
problem, and oil companies were
urging prompt resort to voluntary
rationing so available fuel oils could
be allocated to where they are most
vitality needed.
There was run on gasoline sta
tions throughout the West, private
automobile owners rushing to f1ll
their tanks and, in many instances,
buying extra gasoline for home
storage cans. This boarding was
regarded as a dangerous drain on
dwindling reserves and, as the San
Francisco fire marshal pointed,
fire hazard.
Gov. Earl Warren, concerned over
CALIFORNIA; rich fruit and vegetable
crops, ordered the Public Utility
Commission to spare no time or
expense" in determining the exact
situation. He declared:
I'VE will do everything possible to
help maintain adequate fuel sup
plies for essential industries"
Oil companies said fuel supplies,
az 10 cf LAS
two weeks in California. Washing
ton, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona
There will be spot shortages" much
sooner, particularly in smaller COM
munities supplied by tank truck.
State conciliatorS were hoping
that negotiations between the union
and the struck companies could be
resumed tomorrow. Nine major
companies were struck at midnight
last Friday by approximately 10000
workers demanding higher pay.
Oil companies said they would
ask Secretary of the Interior Krug
to establish voluntary rationing
They estimated that about 171a per
cent of the West Coasts refinery
capacity was still operating-pro-
ducing about 250,000 barrels of fuel
oil daily, instead of the normal
100000.
j. Elro Brown, District director
Of the union, said talk of serious
fuel shortages was more or less
propaganda"
"Therell be gasoline for anything
that's important" he said.
The union demanded a 21-cents-
an-hour wage increase, to $1.s9 per
hour. 1t said Eastern oil plants
were paying $1.95. The nine COM
panies offered 1917 -cent increase
Then negotiations COLLAPSED.
