I PRICES ON MS Jerrific Fight in Prospect , in Attempt to Force All j ; to Fixed Figure Continued from Pae 1.) '18c. "What we demand must hap pen before prieas can be per manently lower is to see whole sale prices drop. But some dealers think differently and they are cutting two and three cents below a retail price which enables us to get, by without- loss. Our only safeguard is to slash the price to a point where everyone will Sustain a big loss and that will force the dealers to an association which can be maintained." North Salem Dealers l-'irst to Drop, Prlree , Several dealers in north Salem -4va'. been selling gas V for weeks t a 20c rate and the same applies tu one dealer in West! Salem. It in understood that tbe gasoline retailers association has tried re rppeatedly to get these stations to stiffen their prices but without effect. Today's measure Is deem- ' ed purely a retaliatory! measure to see which stations can stand the loss for the longest time with out failure. Gasoline dealers maintain that a margin of from four to five 'cents for every gallon sold. Is by no means excessive. This barely provides for. normal overhead on the average station's output. A system of rebates introduced by various wholesale fws companies has created such a disturbed deal er situation that no permanent peace in thegasoline war between retailers can be effected until a more equitable agreement can be worked out between wholesalers and retailers, say several proaia ent gasoline dealers. 1 Daily Loss Is Kxpected By AH Sale of gasoline for 18c mean considerable losses daily to every dealer who participates. No firm is wholesaling gasoline in this city for less than 18c a gallon and several charge 19c, it is said on good authority. As long as the war continues, stations will go heavily into the red each day with only a workable agreement be tween dealers which will force tbe price jp or else a drop ' in the "TflToTesale price to bring about a change. Otherwise, the battle settles down into a survival of the fittest with the strongest financed dealer forcing the wealer retailer Iroui the field. ,, (Continued from Page 1) L.

It was quickly accept ed by the government. More than. 700 rebel soldiers laid down their-arms in Nogales, swore allegiance to the Mexican government, and with almost .magical swiftness the metamor phosis into loyal federals was ac complished. The last ot the rebel generals In western Sonora, Francisco Bor quez, commander of Nogales, crossed to the safety ot the United States this morning. He had been preceded yesterday and last night by his fellow revolutionary commanders. Generals Fausto To pe te, Ramon Iturbe, and others, into the safe harbor that lay across the international line.
