almost every oil field. Yields an oil of

No two sands produce similar oil.
The oils of Russia, Java and Peru are
each and ell alike. The oils OF Texas
are unlike those OF Pennsylvania. The
oil from one stratum in a well is un.

the same well. All this confuses tho
investigators and they are full OF the
cries. none OF which are satisfactory.
Some say the oil OF the wells come

SILK WE4FERS' CASE POSTPONED.
DOUBT INVOLVED BY PROCEEDINGS IN
COURT OF CHANCERY

Application was made to vice-ChanceIIor Emery.
as acting Chancellor. at Newark yesterday for
order of commitment under the order of Vice Chan
eeilor Pitney last month, which imposed fines and
imprisonment eight silk weavers in Paterson for
alleged contempt of court. The application was
made on behalf of Frank & Dugan, the former en-
ployers of the striking silk weavers.
An appeal from the decisions by vfce-Chanceor
Pftney. which was taken some time ago. involves
doubt as to procedure IN chancery- 1t Is question
Whether IN such cases there IS any legal right of
appeal
In the proceedings yesterday the counsel for
Frank Dugan contended that there was no such
right. and cited decision by Justice Dixon. Of
the Supreme Court in the case of the Grand Lodge
OF the Knights Of Pythias of New-Jersey. and jan
sen and others Justice Dixon held that order
of contempt had a two-fold application 1t was
intended TO punish for act In derogation of the
dignity of the court and also to afford additional
relief to either of the parties to the action. The
justice decided that while there might be ap-
peal from the latter operation of the order. there
was none from the former.
Mr.. Harding argued that the power to commit
for contempt, in the English Court of Chancery.
is in the New-Jersey court inherent right born
of the State constitution, Notwithstanding any
statute A request for the adjournment of the case
was acquiesced in by MFR. Harding and granted by
the court The case was postponed to September

REFUSAL TO STRIKE DEFENDED.
CHICAGO STEEL WORKERS UPHOLD THE
sACREDNESs OF CONTRACTS

CHICAGO STEEL WORKERS UPHOLD THE
sAcREDNEss OF CONTRACTS.
Chicago. Aug. 2O.-A statement addressed to
labor organizations and to the public, signed by
fourteen men who claim to represent the MEM
bers OF the Amalgamated Association employed
in the steel works at South Chicago, was issued
tonight
The statement is an extended argument in
Justification OF the refusal Of the South Chicago
men TO violate their contract with the Illinois
Steel Company. which provides that the wage
agreement be broken under no circum-
stances, except by either party to the agree
ment giving three months notice of It's inten-
tion the notice to be given before October l.
The statement quotes a decision rendered in
1897 by NJ. NJ. Garland then president of the
Amalgamated Association. disavowing the
tion of certain rail straighteners who sought to
violate a similar contract with the Illinois Steel
Company. 1t also quotes statements hereto
foie made by President Shaffer, OF the Amalga-
mated Association. and John Mitchell, presi-
dent OF the United Mine Workers. upholding
'the sacredness of labor contracts" In clos
ing the statement says:
After taking legal advice, feel certain that
President Shaffer's claim that contracts
are void because the Illinois Steel Company,
with whom our agreement made. has been
absorbed by the United States Steel Corpora
tion is without foundation.
The principles OF union labor dear TO
to any men In the country who earn their
living by honest toll. but do not think we
should be expected 10 violate every rule of bus-
ness integrity and personal honor for a matter
OF sentiment, for this is time when we must
not let our sympathy get away with our better
judgment.
We were supported by district vice-presi-
dent in our action in refusing to strike.
