1H OF RELIEF
acciiro stornuo which would accomo- aided tho fact that tho labor board
dnto moro than a month's supply at ,in(1 tied up tho strlko and that tho
tho moat. Furthormoro, thp doalorn WaBh,nBlon olMclals had allowed tho
manor 10 go rar enough. Tho ad
ministration has Its chanco now to
show Its colors and what It can really
!A gonulno expression ot relief was
tioard yesterday all over "Gasoline
Row and Alley" when tho news camo
that tho United Btatos Hnllrond Labor
Hoard had takon tho "strlko bull"
by tho horns and tnll at thu samo
tlmo and twlstod tho strlko question
temporarily out ot its system.
Dcsplto tho choory smiles which
11 tho rotallorn and wholesalers of
gasollno woro when talking to their
customers, doop In their minds subtly
fan tho thought, "What aro wo going
to do whon tho supply which all ot
as have, about two weeks all told
for tho city and county, runs out?
How aro wo going to meet tho do
tnands of our customers?" Happy
was tho usual lot of tho customor
who fortunatoly was no mind reader
for undoubtedly, thoro would havo
boon a run on tho present supply
which would soon have exhausted
tho amount on hand but tho news
today clarlflos tho situation-
Conversations hold at random with
doalors In gasollno about tho city
rovealcd tho fact that at no tlmo of
tho yonr does tho avorago dealer
koop on hand moro than a week's
supply at tho moat, dopendlng upon
tho wholesaler for current supplies
s domand usos up tho stock. It
wan also rovealcd that no dealor
could possibly lay In an oxtenslvo or
der of gasollno In barrels unless tho
Rockofeller Interests lowered tho
price to a point whoro this condition cnslor or slept better than what I
was possible Also, no doator could did last night whon the papors hor-
sald, to try to proparo to hold out
for, nn Indoflnlto tlmo was simply
next to,slmposslblo and In tho first
placo, no ono would attompt It in tho
faco of present financial conditions.
Had tho strlko been called, war
tlmo itso of tho gasollno supply would
hnvo followed, each and avoir usor
being dolod out his dally nllotmont
according to tho Importance of his
necessity. 'An equitable distribution
would hnvo taken placo, tho doalors
declare, and "mercy bo unto Is soul,"
would have been tho epitaph on the
grnvo of tho gasollno proflteor who
would havo taken advantage of tho
situation by foisting prices to tho
land of tho bluo sky.
Nearly every dealer had tho samo
opinion about the condition ot tho
profltoer who would hnvo takon ad
vantage of tho gasollno usor during
tbo Impending strlko, nnd lot it bo
said to all tholr credit, tho local
dealers would havo beon fair should
tho crisis havo occured. Ono auto
mobile dealer said, "Wo made up our
minds that every soul In business
was In tho same jack pot with us,
also It would havo boon at a tlmo
whon tho lowliest and highest would
all havo been placed on an equal
status. ;It would havo boon at a
tlmo when evory mnu Jack ot us
would havo hod to unlto and dopend
upon ttio other to shoulder his bur
den without a lot of squonllng.
Movement of every Bort would havo
to bo takon so that tho , common
causo of all would havo boon tho
main Idea, not tho peculiar advan
tage of somo ovor others. Necessity
eventually would havo forced tho
profiteer to Join tho common causo
but what a reception would havo
awaited hlml I novor breathed
do to avort ono of tho greatest sot
backs that possibly could como to this
country, right In midst of a time
whon tho country ns a wholo is slow
ly but suroly omorglng from a chaotic
condition. iLct us all hopo that tho
"big whlto chief" at Washington will
ndjudlcato tho causo of capital and
labor satisfactorily to both and that
Che prosperity of tho nation will bo
stimulated by concurrent action of
nil parties concorncd."
With tho strlko question for a tlmo
settled and tho prospects looming up
big that within tho next ten days, an
nmlcabto settlement ot tho labor
question will bo mndo, "Gasollno
Alloy" to a man breathes and talks
hotter. If anyono doubts this 'story,
buttonholo tho first dealer you find
nnd sound him out thoroughly on
tho question.
