ing several good wells during the
present drilling activity. Well No.

e"5ning and the drill WAS still work
ing Chinaward. At 2050 feet good
sized streak of oil was encountered
uad es.sed ctf. but since 1t was not
large enough to make a big producer.
the management decided to put it
deeper with the hope of encountering
bigger flow. The we'll is east of
Coal Greek.
No. 374 is being drilled near Will
liamsburg and the drill is now work
ing somewhere down in the bowels
of the earth at depth of 1900 feet.
No oil streaks have been struck here
yet.
The company is sanguine Of strig-
ing oil in No. 376 in the Bluff Springs

been struck In this territory in the
past Its present depth is 1900 feet.
No. 377 is a new one being drilled
near old station No. s5 and is 200 feet

Of 100 barrels day, but it so clogged
with mud that it seems to be impos-
sible to make a paying proposition Of

Senator Johnston says the cleaning
out process will be commenced with

LABOR NOTES.
According to recent advices. when the
supreme court of the United States meets
next October. IL will be confronted with a
question as TO the liability of labor
union to punishment under tho antitrust
law, II question whicn has been certified
to that court by the circuit court OF ap-
peals for the second circuit is pressed.
Under date Of June 20, word came from
Berlin. Germany. that strike which had
existed for 81 years. had just terminated
I'm favor OF the employees. Solingen was
the scene OF the trouble where cutlery Is

known manufacturers. Karl ohligcr has
been forced 70 employ union scissors

since 1870. II took him a long time 10

but once having acquired the knowledge
he is not likely to forget what has been
taught him.
One OF tho most sweeping decisions ever
handed down In Massachusetts was rem
dered by Judge Gaskll OF the superior
court last month. In his decision the
learned Judge holds that a labor union
has a right TO fine any member who does
not accede to the demand Of the union
and quit work i'm an establishments where
a strike is in progress. This gives the
union legal powers 1t was thought here
tofore that II did not possess and means
much for organized labor generally.
