Mitchell Appeals Through Shouts to Aid Negotiations
New York Mayor Mitchell sought a personal appeal to Theodore P. Shonts head of IRT and New York Street Railways to recede from rejecting union talks. Shonts cited 11 000 loyal workers’ strike threat if unions are recognized, hindering public service commission and citizen efforts at amicable settlement. A conference with Shonts was arranged as the mayor aims to propose a settlement basis to avoid a general 700,000 member strike and resume negotiations.

Peanut Oil Prospects Require Higher Quality and Prices
The Agriculture Department in Washington notes peanut oil must be of higher quality to be profitable in the United States. At present cottonseed oil price competition limits peanut oil, but rising peanut acreage and boll weevil issues push exploration of new outlets. A Farmers’ Bulletin estimates costs of 35 bushels per acre at $20 to $25, with revenue about $24.50 per acre plus $10 hay value, implying a need for at least 70 cents per bushel to justify production.

Peanuts vs Cottonseed Oil Prices Put Mills at Risk
The article analyzes peanut oil versus cottonseed oil pricing for mills. It calculates costs from Spanish peanuts at 46.66 dollars per ton yielding about 80 gallons of oil and 750 pounds of meal, with meal resale and oil value at 60 cents per gallon. It shows a narrow profit of 12.59 dollars per ton after manufacturing and selling costs, and notes many mills produce only 65 gallons per ton, risking losses when oil is 60 cents.
High-grade Peanut Oil and Market Potentials
The text notes that high-grade peanut oil offers advantages for salad dressings and cooking, while Europe imports mostly inferior grades. In the United States most imports go to oleomargarine production, with 1914 imports valued at 67 cents per gallon. It suggests a lower priced American high-grade oil could foster steady demand independent of cottonseed oil costs.

Peanuts for Oil Demand and Processing Costs
Government specialists urge farmers and mills to ensure permanent demand before investing in high grade peanut oil production. They note extra machinery is needed to clean shell blanch and degerm peanuts, with high costs justified only by solid market prospects. Lower grade oils can profitably come from low grade nuts and peanut byproducts.
