THIRD BIG CASSFR
 IN KELLER FIELD
2I MILLION FOOT WELL
IS BROUGHT IN WILDCAT COM PANY, LARGEST FLOW YET
 RECORDED.

Van Buren Press Argus, March 2O.-The third big gasser in the kibler field was brought in Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, when the Wild cat company, drilling on the Cox 40 acres, brought in well that was es- timated at 21,000,000 feet per day.
 This has been a very promising prospect since reaching depth of l,4O0 feet and no one was surprised when at a depth of 2,2S0 feet, they brought in what is believed to be the biggest well in Crawford county and much larger than any of the wells yet brought in in the Poteau, Okla, field.
 When the well was brought in it was so strong that the drillers were forced to abandon the work. The roaring of the well was heard for two miles, while the sand and dust from the walls of the we'll was shot into the air like a cloud of smoke The boilers had been moved a safe distance from the we'll and every precaution was taken to prevent the firing of the gas and as the crowds began to assemble there during the afternoon, guards were placed about the we'll
 The well was allowed to blow out during the day and night and the work of capping the we'll was com menced this morning, the company using Robinson cone packer suffi- ciently strong to hold a pressure of 25,OOO,0O0 feet. They can hardly hope to controll the we'll before Tues day.
 The Wildcat company was recent ly granted franchise in Fort Smith and it is believed that they will at once begin the construction of pipe llne to that city. This company is expected to supply number of in dustral plants on that side of the river, They are making an effort to be the first to pipe gas into Fort Smith from the Crawford county field, and the Clear Creek company With its two wells will also endeavor to get to Fort Smith with their gas. for they have contracts with a large number of factories and large con. sumers on that side of the river just as soon as they can get gas across.
 Hundreds of Fort Smith and Van Buren citizens visited the big gas well today and the enthusiasm of the visitors upon their return was con- tagious and the talk of this section of the state today is the big new gasser and for the time being. poli- ties are forgotten.
 The land on which this we'll is located is in litigation and will be threshed out in court within a short time. The Clear Creek company had the original lease on the land and after they bought in their No. l we'll on the Kibler farm nearby, the Wild cat company, also composed almost entirely of Fort Smith business men, was organized and they also secured lease from Cox, the owner of the tract, and they went to work just as soon as they could put up their machinery. The Clear Creek com pany sought to join the Wildcat com pany and the matter is now pendine in the local court, this being the first suit growing out of gas or oil leases in Crawford county.

SAGE FUND SOCIAL EXPERT
MAKES A GREAT DISCOVERY
FIND UNIONISM TO BE FIRST LINE
OF DEFENSE FOR WORKERS.
Survey Springfield, Ohio, Discloses
That Position of Trade Unionists
Is Industrially Correct.

The Russell Sage Foundation has dis
covered that trade unionism is u first
line of defense against long hours and
low wages"
For years organized workers have
pleaded, argued and grated that better
ments in shop, mill and factory is only
possible thru unity of employees.
The Russell Sage Foundation has been
conducting survey of Springfield, Ill,
and in advance copies of its findings it
is declared that the position of trade
unionists is correct. The public is as
sured, however, that this decision is not
the result of hasty action, but only after
Investigators collected the original data,
which was then checked and collaborated
by half score of experts. who have dis
covered something workingmen always
have known.
In its advance sheets the foundation
says:
The full report Will say, among other
things, that the investigation revealed
shorter hours as the rule in union shops,
Among employees in these shops, for ex-
ample, "a per cent had an eighth day,
while in the unorganized establishments
only I per cent worked eight hours or
less. Only l3 per cent of the men in the
union shops, moreover workerd ten
hours, as compared with 81 per cent in
the non-union work places. These figures
tend strongly to support the trade union
lists point that organized workers are
able to gain, and do gain, for themselves,
advantages which workers acting ind-
vidually do not enjoy; and they refute
the claim of many employers who op-
pose organization of their workers that
they voluntarily grant all of the bene-
fits which employees might secure thru
the union.
Wage conditions among the union
workers were generally better than
among union workers in Springfield,
tho probably this fact is not due entirely
to union influences"
a list of these probable influences"
which benefit uuionists only. is not
printed by the Investigators and experts.

PREPAREDNESS IS NEEDED
IN PITTSBURG "STRIP"
REV. R. BOYD TELLS OF SUFFERING
AND DEPRAvITY.
Survey Made of Steel Corporation Dis
tiict Reveals Startling Condition
of the Workers.

The attention of a certain class of
preparedness advocates is called to con-
ditions in Pittburgs Strip" which has
been surveyed by the Christian Social
Service Union.
Within this area of three fifths of a
mile, located between the Pennsylvania
railroad yards and the Allegheny river,
$4,000 persons live. A visitor to this
district can, according to Rev. r, Earl
Boyd, "see sin and shame and poverty
and cruelty; he hears the wall OF the
wearied worker, the sob OF the heart
broken mother, the cry OF neglected
children; he smells the reek of congested
quarters, the stencil of stables and out
lawed wells; he tastes the CRIME and
dirt that he must inhale in breathing;
he touches the springs OF the district pol
itics and finds it corrupt machine"
The United States Steel Corporation
has two plants in the strip" and it Is
stated that: One thing notable is that
there is no provisions here by this cor
poration as in some places for lunch
rooms for the men," Outside of n few
instances, the survey shows that, in
general. there is little sense of RESPONSE
bility for welfare shown in the policy
Of the industrial establishments"
Wages in this area are on a par with
other conditions. In study of onc-half
block in which l55 iron and steel work.
ers lived, it was found that the average
rate of wages per week is $lO.5O; aver
age part Of time employed, 40; net
average income per week, S4.GG,
In another block thirty-three families
have 10 members and IVA boarders in
III rooms, total of 2S4 people, an
average of 8 I-3 rooms and s4-ll people
per family. Among these were eight
families keeping boarders in three-room
apartments and having twenty eight
members and twenty-four boarders, an
average of 61& persons family, or over
two per room.
