The decision or the glass workers to
Join the strike has produced something
like consternation, Every furnace that
is permitted to die down must be de
stroyed with dynamite and rebuilt. This
' would ln-olve a 'total cost of $180,000.
' There are twenty-seven furnaces In
Belgium, the window glass exportation
from which amounts to $l,f00,000 a month.
As to the blast furnaces, a majority of
which will be allowed to cool off, their
extinction will mean a loss of 120,000
dally.
The Antwerp dock' workers arc causing
tho strike organizers some uneasiness.
They appear to be hanging In the bal
ance as to whether they will atop work
and despcrato efforts are being made to
obtain their adhesion to the strike move
ment. A strike by thi.se men would be
the most Important, as It would bottle
up the entire export and Import trade.
Many workmen are withdrawing their
money from savins banks.

Tho stTlko leaders appear to be con

even prominent labor leaders, like

strike, believe that It now Is impossible
to prevent It going Into effect.
According to the best Information here
neither the railways nor the newspapers
will be affected.
It Is reported that many employers ac

Special nrrangrmcntft have been .ntdo

will undertake tho technical features of
the investigation.
The movement la Hlgulflcaut In thnl It
l the first deflnltii responso of the into,

torists throughout tho country in the In-t
nln or ten months. That it will bring
relief Is believed from tho fact that the
fuel problem Ih recognized by the manu
fucturers themselves iui 11 question In

faro of tho Industry.
At a conferenco with the council of the
Society of Automobile Knglncers lioM
early last week In New York City, at
which President William 15. Mrtzgcr trd
General Manager Samuel A. Miles of the
National association were present, a plan
of action was sketched out by whclh the
Society of Automobile Engineers gets an
thorlty to arrango for whatever scientific
research tho needs of the Investigation
may disclose. Such matters as may be
of a purely commercial nature naturally
would fall more propctrly within the scope
of the normal activities of the assocli'lon
Itself. a
Definite announcement of the details of
the plan have not been made public, but
It Is stated that It will embrace both
fuels and curburetlng devices, Td' what
ever extent muy bo deemed necessary
the ground already cohered by the spe
cial fuel committee of the National as
sociation will bo gone over again In an
effort to determine exactly tho status of
the petroleum Industry, par ticularly with
reference to reserve supplies of petroleum
at present held under ground and tho
possibilities in the way of exploiting un
developed oil fields.
Practical Drmonatratlons.
Hpeclal opportunity will be given to In
ventors and others who are Interested in
the development of new fuols an KUbstll-
tutea for gosollne to demonstrate not
only their applicability to automobile pro
pulsion, but also the extent to which
they can be produced and the probable
relatlvn cost. In this connection the In-
veitlgators will study fuels such as the
new motor spirit recently placed on the
market by the Standard Oil Company
of Indiana, which Is manufactured from
a residue formerly markoted at a low
price as fuel oil.
Coal tar, peat and even vegetable refuse
are poeslble sources of hydrocarbon com.
pounds that may be used as fuol that
are at present under Investigation by
various authorities, and several com
panies have recently undertaken the ex
ploitation of fuels declared to be suitable
as gasoline substitutes which nre not di
rectly dependent on the petroleum mar
ket, or which are entirely lndependfcnt of
It as the case may be. Those interested
in substitute products, as well as In new
processes for Increasing the yield of gaso
line and similar products from petroleum
Itself, will be invited to plaoe them before
the investigators.

with a view of determining what molli
fications aro necessary In order to cope
with tho low grade gnsollnn that Is avail
able at present, und pending possible ro
llrf from whatever sourco It may bo do

work," said President Mctzgor of tho
National association, In speaking of tho
Investigation. "It Is for the benefit of
the public quite an much as the auto
mobile Industry Itself. They trill us that
wn are no.w getting fifty-eight gravity
gasoline, where, a few years ago we were
getting sixty-four and sixty-eight, and
that It will continue to go down until
within tho next five years we will be
getting ns low as fifty. Now that Is
something for which wn must bo pro
pared. It la not sufftclont to develop
our present product In such a way as
to take caro of these tow grude fuels,
but we must look after the user, Thero

and tho year after, and we must Hee

what Is more, it Is prepared to stand

approved, In addition to lending Its as-

"And most Important of all," he co
eluded, "Is the question of locating the
fuel supply of the future. It will not
be loifc befoie we shall have to reckon
on supplying 1,000.000 automobiles with
