An idea Of the immense expendi.
lures made for the purpose of devel.
oping petroleum interests, and the
magnitude they have obtained, may
be formed from the statement of Mr..
Henry E. Wrigley, civil and min.
ing engineer Of the oil regions that
"there have been drilled in the oil re.
gions of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
West Virginia, over %, 900 wells at
an aggregate cost of one hundred and

that these wells have produced an
aggregate amount of about eighty

prices, when refined, four hundred

The Ohio State Journal talks thus
plainly to the strikers:
We uphold your right to quit work
at once if your wages do not suit -
provided your contract is finished.
We uphold your right to use every
honorable means to secure satisfacto-
ry wages. But there is one point we
cannot pass without advocating a ty-
ranny such as never any government on
earth dared to attempt. No govern
ment in the civilized world ever dared
to say to any work;ngman that he
should not work for an employer he
was pleased to work for, at such wages
as he was pleased to take, and at such
contract as was acceptable to both. If
you attempt to say that because you
will not work for certain wages, no
other man shall work for them if he
pleases, you attempt this unenduraole
tyranny. Nogovernment known among
men can permit this tyranny and live.
Nor ought it to live. Such an exer-
else of brute force to prevent men
from choosing their own work at their
own wages, strikes at the very root of
