FOR SOUTH SIDE
Definite Information Sought on Alternate Route by Those Affected.
South Side residents today demanded more definite information on plans of the Indianapolis Railways, Inc, to provide the Minne-sota-Ringgold section with trackless trolley service.
The proposed merger route for ‘trackless trolleys on Minnesota and Ringgold-sts and Pleasant Run-blvd has been withdrawn from the trackJess trolley franchise now pending before the City Council, the Works Board reported last night. In the resolution approved by the Works Board yesterday, the trolley firm agreed to reroute cars over " streets “more practical for the purpose,” but did not present an alternate route. City Engineer Iienry B. Steeg, who brought the picposal before the Council last night, said he knew nothing of the pians for a new route. Approved early yesterday by the Works Board, tne resolution was not made public until considered by the council. More than 40 Sourn Side residents who appeared to piotest the route on Ringgold-st knew nothing about the development, they said. Edward Eckstein, South Side Civic Clubs, Inc, president, said they wanted more definite information on the proposed alternate route. South Side residents had protested the Minnesota-Ringgold-sts section of the proposed agreement several times during the last few months. Several proposed alternate routes would be agreeable to them, according to Mr. Eckstein, who said his group wanted information on the route before they would be satisfied with the ordinance. The Council Committee on Public Safety, which has been studying the agreement asked more time to confer with the Works Board before bringing the ordinance up for vote.
Attempt to Force Vote
After Dr. Thorpe Cable, commit-. tee chairman, told the council his committee was not prepared to act, Councilman Edward Kealing attempted to force a vote bv an informal poll. Council President Edward B. Raub agreed with committee members that further consultation with the Works Board was advisable. Mr. Kealing objected to continued

delay on the street railway agreement.
“Next meeting it will be the same thing again,” he said. “I think now is the time to bring it out.” The ordinance is to be held by the Committee on Public Works until a solution for serving the South Side patrons is reached, it was decided. Parking Meters Exhibited Parking meters wire demonstrated by a factory representative but no action was taken. Chief Morrissey said _he favored sdoption of the meters, but that many objections, including an opinion from ihe city legal department had been raised against them. “The meters would be installed in 20-foot spaces downtown. Allowing
an hour for 5 cenis, the machines would indicate overtime parking. The meters could be purchased from the. parking revenue, no cash outlay being asked by the company.
The plan calls for 85 per cent of the revenue for the company and 15 per cent for the city until the purchase price is paid. Held in committee for another two weeks were the ordinances for raising salaries of police and firemen and the anti-picketing repeal measure. The Council passed under suspension of rules, ordinances approving a $125,000 temporary loan to the Health Department and another for sale of $20,000 in bonds from the Snow-Butler estate for the Flower, Mission Hospital. The latter permits purchase of equipment to finish the hospital unit.

23 Oil Companies Are Indicted
on Anti-Trust Law Complaints|;
58 Individuals Accused of Pafticipating in Gasoline Price
Fixing in Midwest,
Including Indiana.
BY WILLARD R. SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent MADISON, Wis., Aug. 4 —Twenty-three major oil companies, 58 individuals and three publications were accused by a Federal Grand Jury today of violating the Sherman anti- trust law by pooling gasoline pur-
chases and fixing prices. United States District Attorney John J, Boyle announced a general, indictment of the 84 defendants by the grand jury summoned by Attorney General Homer S. Cummings last May to conduct a national investigation of the oil: industry. "The indictment followed a partial report by the grand jury to Federal Judge Patrick T. Stone lasi week, Mr. Boyle said. The jury will resume its investigations Aug. 19. Heading the list of those indicted were the nation’s major oil firms, including Standard Oil of Indiana, Socony-Vacuum Oil Co., Cities Serv-
ice, Continental Oil, Gulf Oil, Pure |
Oil Co., Shell Petroleum, Sinclair Refining, Texas Co., Tide-Water Oil, Mid-Continent Petroleum, Phillips Petroleum, Skelly Oil, Barnsdall Refining-and the Globe Oil and Refining Co."Three “Globe Oil companies were. named, Globe of Oklahoma, Globe of Tllinois and Globe of Kansas. Also named were Deep: Rock Oil Corp., Cities Service Export Oil Co., Empire Oil and Refining Co., Louisiana‘ Oil Refining Corp., Gulf Refining Co. and Wadhams Oil Co.
The three trade papers, named in
the ‘indictment were the ‘Chicago Journal of Commerce, Piatt’s Oilgram and the National Petroleum News. Warrants have been issued for arrest of the individuals. The defendants were accused specifically of combining and conspir-
‘| ing, beginning in February, 1935, to
raise and fix prices of gasoline sold in interstate commerce, principally in 10 Middle Western states. These activities, Mr. Boyle said, affected 4000 jobbers in Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, ‘Illinois, Minne-
sota, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri - and Kansas. Indirectly,
through increased tank car prices,
they affected retail prices to consumiers, he said, ‘The indictment declared that gasoline. prices were raised and fixed by means of two “concerted buying programs or pools.” One was said to have operated in East Texas,
the other in the Oklahoma and Mid-Continent fields.
