2 OIL DEALERS TAKE | TOOK AT STUATION _ARFBCTINGBUSNESS National Representative Says ‘It Is Either Codes or Doles for Workers | Fargo, N. D., Jan. 9.—() —A first | hand picture of the situation in the national capital as it respects their “business war brought to members of the Northwest Petroleum association Monday by Paul E. Hadlick. formerly secretary of the association, now in Washington as counsel for the Na- tional Oil Marketing association. Dealing in some detail with codes in general and with the code of his industry in particular, Hadlick said: “Whether we like it or not, industry fas these codes. We should remember the president has a plan and smile through it all, even if it goes against our economic grain. One of the prin- cipal aims of the NRA is to feed people. The country has to feed peo- tle either by putting them on the dole and getting the money through taxation, or by shortening hours and putting men to work. “Under the industrial recovery act, tne president has the power to sus- pend the anti-trust laws so that busi- ness can wipe out uneconomic fea- ‘ures, and this is a partial compen- sation for the added burden caused wy shortened hours and increased Payrolls.” Hadlick told the jobbers they had no need to fear the future as long as they preserved their strength and state association and kept representa- tion at Washington. “There is an increasing need for business to watch legislative affairs at Washington more closely because of the pressure being brought to bear for more legislation of business and for revenue measures. “It is necessary a close check be kept by business men to make sure there are no loopholes which would react unfairly to any particular group,” he said. The convention recovenes at 1:30 p. m. Tuesday, the final general session to be featured by an address by B. L. ‘Majewski, member of the planning and co-ordination committee, Wash- ington, wZo will discuss “Development of an Oil Code.” The group was entertained at a stag supper Monday night. More than 200 have registered or are attending con- vention sessions, i Weather Report | ———* FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Fair to partly cloudy tonight and Wednes- day; slightly ‘warmer tonight.

The case will be argued orally be- fore the I.'C. C. at Washington Feb. 7. F. P. Aughnay, traffic expert, will! present arguments for the state rail- road commission. T. A. Durant, traffic manager for sociation, Neal E. Williams, traffic commissioner for the Fargo Chamber | of Commerce, and H. A. Bronson, at-! torney for the North Dakota mill and! elevator association, will join in the} arguments against the proposed in-| creases. The brief states that producers in North Dakota are receiving on an average about 50 per cent less in price | for their products and the carriers about 50 per cent more for carrying grain and seeds as compared with the pre-war prices and rates. “The one great plea of the carriers! is that their revenues have been low] as compared with former years,” the} brief continues, “and for that reason | they desire to saddle upon the north-} west farmers millions of dollars in| increased transportation costs with the hope that it will bolster up their earnings.” Trying to Sock Farmer It is claimed by the North Dakota commission that the carriers operat- | ing in the state “want increased rates; on grain from North Dakota because of the depreciated revenue and be- cause they cannot place elsewhere in- creased rates.” “We are astounded,” they continue, “that these carriers, during this pe- riod of abnormal depression, affect- particularly more the grain produc- ers than the carriers’ business, should have the hardihood to come at this time, in view of the facts and in view of their own experience, and ask for ucts thereof, and seeds.” The original proceedings in the grain rate case were instituted by the | I, C. C. in 1927 and hearings held| throughout the western United States. June, 1929, and a decision given a year later. The rates, however, did pee go into effect until August 1,) The carriers, claiming the I. C. C. had materially reduced its rates, ap- pealed to the United States supreme court on the grounds of changed eco- nomic conditions. The highest court ordered a re-hearing, allowed the carriers to cancel the rates, and rein- stated the old rates, which went into effect in February, 1932, The net result of the I. C. C. deci- sion was a substantial increase in North Dakota's grain rate freight bill, according to Aughnay. New hearings were held throughout the western part of the United States during 1932 and 1933, ending in Chi- cago last October 6. , | Strange But True News Items of Day | | (By The Associated Press)" | WEDS AT MOTHER'S BIER Hartford City, Ind. — Beside the coffin of his mother, Ted Overmeyer was married to Miss Dorothy Jordan, thereby complying with his mother’s wish.

Other opposition papers questioned the truth of the statement by author- ities that Stavisky himself in the head when surrounded late Monday near Chamonix. Premier Chautemps lost no time in revamping his endangered cabinet as @ result of the midnight resignation of Colonial Minister Albert Dalimier, accused by police of indirect implica- on in the Bayonne scandal. With Stavisky dead and Dalimier out of the cabinet with a “certificate of good conduct,” Chautemps hoped parlimentary and public indignation would subside. £ Stavisky’s death in d\ hospital at Chamonix early Tuesday compltcated the investigation of the scandal grow- ing out of the collapse of the bank and the resulting loss to investors of approximately $40,000,000. sistance of authorities here. - and Edith Pearl Brooks. adopted and taken line tax collections in highway. pro- grams of states and stating it is a ser- ious handicap to the various states to have the federal government assess- ing and collecting a gasoline tax, the resolution declared the federal govern- ment has many other and more effec- tive methods of raising revenue.
