San Francisco, Sept. 8 IP "Ac
fox shows no signs of tiring, but
neither does one ol tne nounas.
San Francisco, leading the Pa
cific Coast league pack most of
the season, still held its slim
lead today, but it is hardly a guar
antee of the pennant, especially
the way second-place Oakland Is
losine balls over the fence.
The Seals fashioned a 2 to 0
shutout over Seattle last night to
remain 114 - games In front of
the charging Oaks, who shellack
ed orphan Sacramento, 14 to 4.
In the only other league game,
Hollywood outscrambled San Di
ego, 11 to 10.
The Oaks, who hit 19 home runs
last week, started another four
ply barrage against the Solong,
Nick Etten getting his 39th and
George Metkovich his 20th. Sac
ramento did better In the home
run department Joe Marty, Joe
Grace and Dee Moore ell contrib
utingbut starting pitcher Les
Webber allowed only one other
safety and reliefer Earl Jones'
silenced Sacramento bats the rest
of the way.
Get 16 Hlta
Meanwhile, Oakland Jumped on
four Solon hurlers for 16 hits
end scored three-run clusters in
four Innings for an easy victoy.
Seattle pitcher Herman Besae
erred in flic first inning to give
the Seals a run all they needed
to win as Lefty Al Lien gave up
only five scattered hits and walk
ed none to blank the Rainiers.
Otherwise Besse was almost as
effective, giving up only six
safeties. . - .
Hollywood and San Diego wore
out the base paths in a free-sccr-ing
match. Jack Graham, the
PCL's . leading home run hitter,
ended his long drought by past
ing hii: 47th with two on base.
It was the first homer for the
Padre slider since July 25, but
most of that time was spent on
the sidelines as the result of a
bean ball.
Hollywood's Chuck Stevens got
an inelde-the-park homer with tht
bags loaded, and Gus Zernial
broke a 10-all tie in the ninth
with e single that knocked In the
winning tally.
Both Los Angeles aria Portland
were traveling and will open
their series In' the Rose city today.

A Quick Picture of How the Oil Workers' Strike May Affect the Public Here in the West
When the oil workers went out on
strike last Friday night, the total gasoline
on hand amounted to about fifteen days
of average consumption. The supply has
dwindled sharply . . . for. there was un
usually heavy gasoline buying over, the
holiday week end.
Today it looks as if the supply will last
only about another week. And that's an
overall coast average.
Coast's Reserves Vary From ,
Place to Place
Some communities on the Coast, par
ticularly the Los Angeles area and the
San Francisco East Bay, are normally
supplied with gasoline directly from re
fineries. Now that the refineries are
closed, these supplies are cut off. So the
gasoline available to the public is already
critically low.
Other communities, because they are
located some distance from refineries,
normally keep large reservoirs of gaso
line on hand. They're in better shape. But
only temporarily. . .
Refineries' Output Cut Sharply
It takes men to make gasoline and
motor oil and other petroleum products
you use. So when the strike began last
week, the total output of. refineries not
struck amounted to only about 250,000
barrels a day. Since then, the industry's
output has increased and somewhat more
gasoline is being produced. About 350,
000 barrels of crude oil a day are being
processed now . . . compared to 950,000
barrels a day before the strike. And we're
doing everything we can to try to in
crease this 350,000-barrel output. For
the public health and welfare demand
that we do all we can to protect
How the Oil Industry Is Meeting
the Emergency '
We're already "back-hauling" gasoline
. . . bringing it from places where there
are reserves to other places where the
shortage is most critical. This costs a lot
of money. But we'll do it and keep doing
it ... by rail, by ship, by truck. For we're
determined to meet the emergency in
the best interests of all the people.
Special Reserves Available for i
Emergency Use
Fires and accidents won't wait for the
strike to end. And fire trucks, police cars
and ambulances are vital in meeting day-to-day
emergencies. So we've set up a
special plan to help stretch gasoline and
oil for these important services. When
the supply reaches the critical point in
any communivy, the use of all the remain
ing supply will be placed in the hands
of public officials. They will use this sup
ply as they see fit to keep the health and
welfare services operating for the bene
fit of all their citizens.
What's The Strike All About, Anyway?
For the first time in history . , . any
place in the country . . . there Is an industry-wide
oil strike.
Through the years, the industry has
enjoyed excellent labor relations. Work
ers have thus benefited from, good
wages, job stability and other advan
tages. The public has benefited from
reasonable prices for our products . . .
constant improvement in quality . . . and
steadily increased production. .
Why a Strike Now?
Recognizing that there has been a cost
of living increase in recent months, the
industry offered the OWIU-CIO an in
crease of 12J cents an houra full dol
lar a dayretroactive to July 3.
Our Offer More Than Meets
Cost of Living Rise
The 12 cents an hour offer would
bring the total wage increase to $5.22 a
day since the end of the war. This is
equivalent to the increases accepted by
the same oil workers' union in other parts
of the country.
The offer more than makes up for in
creased living costs. According to the
latest government figures, the cost of
living is up 72 since 1941. The wage
schedule offered is 83 above 1941
rate.
Wage Increases Boost Inflationary
Spiral
OWIU-CIO representatives rejected
our offer and are asking a 21 f cents an
hour increase. To agree to this excessive
and inflationary wage increase in one in
dustry would exert pressure on all other
industries. Everyone is painfully aware
that unjustified increases in wages are
followed by further increases in the price
of all the things we buy. It would be a
disservice to the public . . . and to our
employees who are part of the public
... to contribute unnecessarily to the
inflationary spiral.
At All Times We Stand Ready to Meet
With the Union As We Always Have
Each oil company sincerely hopes that
this strike can be settled fairly . . . fairly
to its employees and fairly to its custom
ers. We have always worked conscien
tiously and bargained in good faith with
the OWIU-CIO. Each company is ready
to continue any time.
