MOFFETT'S ACTION BARED George Cheesebrough Declares After Dissolved Companies AVere Re organized Oil Company Di rector Named Officers. NEW YORK, Sept. S3 The Standard Oil Company, of New Jersey. Is still as signing: sales territory to oil refineries of its former subsidiaries outside of its own territory, according: to testimony given today at the hearing: of the tVat- ers-Pierce-Standard Oil litigation by Kenneth Adams, assignment clerk of the New Jersey Company. Adams was asked a series of ques tions by S. JL Fordyce, of St. Louis, counsel for the Waters-Pierce Com pany, in line with that company's con tention there is no real competition among the Star Standard Oil Compa nies. "Do you receive stock reports of any refinery other than refineries of the Standard Oil of New Jersey I" Adams wss asked. "Not that I know of," was the reply. "Have you assigned stations or ter ritory to refineries outside of the ter ritory of the New Jersey CompanyT" -Yes," said the witness. Ckntbraask OS Stand. George Chesebrough, secretary of four pipe-line companies, formerly un der control of the National Transit Company, dissolved by the United States Supreme Court decree, testified that J. A. Moffett, ex-president of the Transit company, and now a direc tor of the Standard OH of New York, had named the officers of the dissolved companies when they were reorgan ized. The witness said Moffett thought that "under the decree there could be the same officers for all four com panies." Specific Instances of the assignment of sales territory to refineries not owned by the New Jersey company were furnished by E- S. Barber, assist ant domestic sales agent for the com pany, who was a. witness at the after noon session. Barber said the sales territory at Camden. Trenton and Phllllpsburg, X. J was assigned to refineries of the At lantic Refining Company of Pennsyl vania, one of the subsidiaries of the former trust. In none of these cities did the Atlantic Refining Company compete with the New Jersey Company in the sale of oil. so far as the witness knew. AUmatleB Rates Lower. The assignment of these sales sta tions to the Atlantic company's refin eries was the same as before dissolu tion, the witness conceded, but he de- clared that the stations bought their oil from the Atlantic refineries now simply because the rates for the transportation of oil from the refineries of the New Jersey Company were higher than from the Atlantic Company. Although the New Jersey Company has a refinery at Bayonne. N. J., it sold no oil In Staten Island, just across the Klllvonkull. the, witness said. Mr. For dyce then Indicated that Staten Island was the territory of the Standard Oil Company of New York. AUTO ACCIDENTS PILE UP Sled ford Boy JIangled, Narrowly Ks capes Death.

STRIKE NEARS END Armed Clash Is Not Wanted by 4500 Miners. EMPLOYMENT AGENT QUITS His Resignation Causes Rejoicing at Utah Camp and Workmen Ask Governor to Take Steps for Peaceful Agreement. BINGHAM. Utah. Sept. 23. Develop ments today in the strike of the 4500 miners here favor a peaceable settle ment Instead of a clash between armed strikers on the canyon sides and the hundreds of Deputy Sheriffs. Leaders of the strikers were elated over an announcement by the Utah Copper Company that Lecidas J. Skliris, employment agent, distasteful to the union men. has resigned. Following this announcement the strike leaders made an appeal to Governor Spry to bring about a meeting between them and the officials of the copper company to discuss settlement of their differ ences. Secretary E. G. Locke, of the' miners' local organization, said that the resig nation of Skliris foreshadowed an early settlement. Skliris had been suspected by strikers of practicing the peonage system among foreign employes. The charge Is denied by officials of the Utah Copper Company, who say that bis resignation was accepted only be cause it would eliminate one of the grievances against the company. The strike leaders said tonight that with Skliris removed the struggle would be centered on the demand for a higher wage scale. Although the leaders of the strikers are encouraged over the outlook for a peaceful cul mination Deputy Sheriff T. Schwetzer reported that a clash between the Greeks and deputies on guard at Up per Bingham was narrowly averted to day. A number of Greeks gathered on the hillside opposite where the steam shovels lie idle and sent a shower of bullets down around the deputies.. No one was hit but several had narrow es capea , Only the efforts of the officers In charge of the deputies prevented the latter from returning the fire and pre cipitating a battle. Soon, however, the Greeks ceased firing and disappeared over the MIL When officers of the local union were informed of the incident they declared it was the work of persons not in sympathy with the union. Deputy Sheriffs patrolling the Bing ham & Garfield Railroad, owned by the Utah Copper Company, reported the finding today of three boxes of dyna mite beneath the Freeman Canyon bridge, a short distance below the Bingham depot. Union officials claim that none of their men is responsible. and that tbey have evidence that it was put there so it might be found and suspicion cast against the strikers. Reports of the dynamite discoveries have been numerous, but in most cases where dynamite really was found it has i been proved that the explosive was left by miners when they walked out.
