Izydor Schulz wins the internal election of the National Oil Society to the Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Lviv.

Three representatives are selected for the chamber1. All three – engineer Stefan Dażwański, general director of the State Factory of Mineral Oils “Polmin”, engineer Izydor Schulz, director of SA “Galicja”, and Dr Stanisław Schaetzel, director of the National Oil Society – are elected unanimously, although it is known that Schulz had opponents.

By 5 December 1934, forty-two counsellors (twenty-one for both sections) are elected to the Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Lviv from among those authorised by the Minister of Industry and Trade and associations and organisations2, as well as twenty-eight counsellors on the basis of general elections. In addition, seven counsellors will be appointed by the Minister of Industry and Trade. 

After the death of Izydor Schulz (20 January 1935), a by-election would be held in the National Oil Society, in which Marek Aleksandrowicz – director of the joint stock company Gazy Ziemne3 – is to be a certain and agreed candidate. It was probably him that Izydor Schulz visited on the day of his death*. A day after the information about the planned election on behalf of the National Oil Society, Marek Aleksandrowicz would send a request to the “Chwila” daily to “indicate that the issue of his candidacy in place of the deceased engineer Schulz was not agreed with him”, and he cannot take over this mandate for “personal reasons”4. Aleksandrowicz is to become a counsellor at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry by co-option (seven counsellors could be chosen in the Meeting of the Chamber), so it seems that “personal reasons” are possibly related to Izydor Schulz having died in his apartment and the dishonourable situation of taking the position of a deceased friend5.

The supplementary elections would be won by Feliks Goldhammer, a member of the board of the Oil Refinery and Machine Oils Factory “Bracia Haber”, limited liability company in Stanisławów. It was Izydor who replaced him on 18 August 1934 as the manager of that company6.
