‘PETROLEUM HEADS
FO SEEK NEW CODE’
SAYS ECONOMIST
MEETING TONIGHT TO DIS
CUSS NATIONAL
SITUATION
Consideration of a voluntary code
for the petroleum industry will be'
given by both service station men
and their suppliers of Southeastern
Georgia at a meeting Monday night
in the Hotel De Soto, Savannah,
called by B. H. Durrence, one of
the leading gasoline dealers, it was
announced yesterday.
Wilmer R. Schuh, Milwaukee, Wis
consin, president of the National As
sociation of Petroleum Retailers, will
make the principal address of the
evening. Mr. Schuh is making a tour
of the South in the inter .st of the
code which was developed at a con
ference of representatives of all fac
tions of the industry in Chicago, last
February. In this section, meetings
have been held in Atlanta, Knox
ville, Tampa and Miami. A meeting
will be held at the Hotel Colonial, Co
lumbia, S. C., Tuesday night.
At the meeting in Miami, last Fri
day, Mr. Schuh said, “This industry
has found that it needs a code since
the NRA was invalidated by the U.
S. supreme court). There were many
who were dissatisfied with the NRA
code and were glad to see it end,
but they have found that the industry
and labor have suffered because there
has been no policy for the industry.
Many service stations are on the
verge of going broke and have had to
curtail their expenses to meet the
conditions imposed by a few chislers
who »:ek to obtain an advantage by
price jutting. If it goes on without
being checked, it will result in the
loss of their business to many re
tailers and a reduction in employment
to service station employes.
“Uneconomic conditions in any
large industry hurts everyone, those
in the industry and those who are its
customers. Anything that obstructs
economy increases the cosU of doing
business which the consumer must
pay. It is in the interests of all, con
sumers, labor and petroleum mar
keters, that the voluntary code for
mulated for the mid West be accepted
in the East and South, sc that this
market can be stabilised at an eco
nomic figure and employment as
sured.”
The meeting will be open to all in
the pctroluem industry, according to
Mr. Durrence, ant a good attendmce
is expected from Savannah and the
surrounding territory. It will begin at
8 p.m. It is understood that pre
liminary steps will be taken toward
the formation of a local association
of gasoliners, affiliated ~ith the Na
tional Association.
