SAYS FEDERATION
HEAD GL0RI0USLY
DRUNK IN HOTEL
Charge Against Samuel Gompsrs
at Miners Convention Causes
Big Sensation
DECLARES MCDONALD A LIAR

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 3d.
That Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of
Labor, was "gloriously drunk"
at the Seattle convention of the
federation was the charge made
by Duncan Mcdonald, of Illinois,
at the convention of the United
Mine Workers of America today.
During the prolonged charge
"liar" and "slanderer" were
hurled at Mcdonald by Gompers,
who sat on the platform.
81 am glad Mr.. Gompers is
here so | can say what / want
to- said Mcdonald, in beginning
his reply to the speech made yes
terday by Mr.. Gompers. 81 said
there were booze-fighters in
charge of the American Fedora
tion of Labor ind I'll prove 1t.
At the Seattle convention / had
room with my wife at hotel
next to the room reserved by the
Resolutions Comm ittee. The
first Saturday night we could not
sleep for the noise made by
bunch of DRINKS in the next
room.
81 appealed 70 the clerk of the
hotel and the noise grew louder.
Then | went dcwn to the hotel
office and the night manager
called Jim Duncan on the phone
and told him they would have to
get cut of the room, that they
were disturbing all on the floor.
Saw Gompers at Table
1.-The noise grew fierce and i
finally knocked on the door of the
room and was asked to come in
and have a drink. When the
door was opened there sat Sam
Gompers at the head of the Ia
BILE, gloriously drunk, with bot
tie of booze in his hand"
The statement threw the con-
vention into and uproar and 1T
was some time before order was
restored. While the confusion
was at its height Gompers called
Mcdonald a liar and slanderer.
Mr.. Gompers followed Nc Don
aid and denied absolutely the
charge of drunkenness. He de-
clared the statement 'libelous,
untruthful, vicious, slan1erous
and without any form of honor. J"
Mr.. Gompers left the hall to
take train before Charles ii.
Meyer, president of the Western
Federation of Miners, coulo
speak.
despite the statements of Mr..
Gompers," asserted Meyer, 81
firmly believe that the assess
mant for the Michigan strikers
should have been levied, and that
he failed to give satisfactory
explanation why it was not done.
| reiterate that if the strike
should fail it will be due to the
failure of the Executive Conncll
of the American Federation of
Labor TO levy an assessment, for
that would be the best way TO
get funds for our strike"
Charges Political Activity
Mcdonald charged Gompers
with msintaining machine to
perpetuate himself AS the head
of the federation aud of assisting
the Democratic party, even
against candidates of other par.
ties who are members of labor
organizations. He ridiculed the
the idea that unions could not

OIL PRODUCTION IN THE SOUTH

Five Southern States, it is pointed
out by the New Orleans Times
Picayune, are producing, in value c.
output, nearly half the petroleum
produced in the United States. These
states are Kentucky, Louisiana, Okla =
homa, Texas and West Virginia
The value Of the oil produced in
these states is $116,OlS, ,034, as COM
pared with sl21 .266, ,67S for the rest Of
the country The Times Picayune
believes that "it is only question of
time, and very short time at that
when the country and the world will
largely depend upon these five south
ern states for petroleum, which has
become so important product that
an abundant or short supply of this
illuminant and power is seriously in
fluencing the war condition in Eu-

ANOTHER OIL FIELD TO Be

Mulhall, Okla, Dec 24.-Through
the efforts of Ohio Miller, the man
who always has the interest of home
at heart, we are to have another tes,
we'll for oil in logan county. He has
interested the Big Star Oil Co. No.
in this section and they are now
drilling on the j. J. Donohoe farm
eight miles north OF Guthrie across
the Cimarron river.
The prospects for opening another
big oil field here are very bright, as
the geological reports are very flat
tering. One acquainted with oil fields
can easily trace the big anticline
from Ponca City to the Cimarron
river and also trace the Gil forma
tions from Yale along the river to the
site where the Big Star Oil Co. No. l
are drilling.
This company has 5000 acres under !
lease in this vicinity and expect to
give this section a thorough test.
