BERLIN, July 31.—The outstand- ing event in Germany’s industrial life this week was the threat of an oil price-cutting war between the U. S. S. R. Naptha Syndicate and the Royal Dutch Shell interests, which would draw Germany into the controversy emanating for the dis- agreement among the units of the Standard Oil family in the United States as regards the policy to be pursued in trading with Soviet Rus- sia. “Derunaft,” the German-Rissian company which retails oil products in Germany, initiated the price-cut- ting campaign by reducing the price of gasoline by four cents a gallon. This challenge is indicative of the purpose of the Soviet Union to pur- sue the advantage which they have gained hy their newly achiewd re- lations with the Standard Oi! of New York and the Vacuum Oil. * * * | Wall Street is interested in the oil war that is raging between the Stan- dard Oil of New York and Vacuum Oil on the one hand and the Royal Dutch Shell and New Jersey Standard Oil on the other. The combination in the second group, that is the one be-| tween the Royal-Dutch, the British oil trust, and.the Standard of New Jersey, is not one of mutual interest, | but a question of competition between | the two. Of all the Standard group the. New Jersey concern is. the one that comes into the keenest competi- n with the British trust, hence Wal- ter Teagle, head of the Jersey branch of the Standard lines up with Sir Henry Deterding, head of the British trust, against the New York Standard Oil concern and the Vacuum Oil con- cern, A Many-Sided Warfare. | Again Walter Teagle and the New Jersey concern tried a bit of specula- tion on the collapse of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and bought an equal partnership with the Noble brothers, Russian citizens, whose great oil holdings were nationalized by the revolution. -Unable to realize the money they desired from their nationalized oil fields, the Noble out- fit sold a half interest to Teagle and the American capitalist thought he would be in on the ground floor when | the Soviet government fell and some | relative of the czar ascended the | throne made vacant by action of the | workers and peasants of Russia.

The march followed a huge protest demonstration, attended by ten thousand | persons at Union Square. Three workers were arrested as a result of the demonstra- tion. As the parade swung into City Hall Square after marching down Second avenue thru the Lower East Side and the Italian quarter, police and detectives of the Oak street station broke into the parade, many of them swinging clubs. i The parade started at Union Square and proceeded down Broadway to 13th street where it turned into Second avenue. It continued along Second avenue to Chrystie street. It then started to rain but that did not have any effect on the marchers. From Chrystie street the workers proceeded to the Bowery, then to | Grand and Mulberry street. | Harry Kaldis, 28, of witz, 18, of 245 East 13th str with organizing a parade v 7 West 28th street and Joseph Horo- t, were placed under arrest charged hout the permission of the police— altho it is well known that nc h permission is required.

Madrigon, who was arrested by Patrolman jelman, refused to stop the parade.

Its leader, Juliu Maniu, has just attacked the Bratiano gov- ernment in the press, demanding a new election and a guarantee that it be “free.” Professor Jorga, a mem- ber of the party, has appealed to the American minister, William S.

About, a year ago the Standard Oil | cf New York and the Vacuum Oil! conferred with Hughes on the legal questions involved in purchasing Rus- | sian oil. Hughes’ job was to safe- | guard them in their desire to enter the Russian field. At that conference Walter Teagle, president of the Standard Oil of New Jersey, was present. He presented there the same argument that was presented by the Standard Oil of New Jersey and Dutch Shell in their public statements the last two weeks: that no good American company ought to purchase “stolen” oil. Hughes’ reply was that as execu- tives of companies with large num- bers of shareholders they should con- cern themselves solely with the ques- tion of whether the business would be profitable to their stockholders.

The bodies of seven members of the American expeditionary force have been discovered, all killed in action, in 1918. One body was that of a prominent Columbus, Ohio, lawyer, who left the district attorney's office to become a lieu- tenant of infantry in the world war; the other bodies were those of men drafted into a war they had no interest in.
