Boston LABOR Joins
Force Peace League


BOSTON, March 2-(SpeciaD-The
Boston Central Labor Union, on Feb
ruary goth, 1916, officially endorsed
the platform of the League to Enforce
Peace, and appointed a committee of
ten to represent the union in the
Massachusetts branch of the Taft
League.
{ The League to Enforce Peace was
organized at Philadelphia, in Indepen-
dence Hall, last June, former Presi-
dent William H. Taft, being elected
president. A. Lawrence Lowell, Presi-
dent Of Harvard University, is head
| of the Massachusetts. branch of the
League.
The main proposal of the Taft
League platform is that league of
the, great powers, the United States
to be one of them, be formed, the
powers to pledge the use of their joint
armed forces to compel nations to try
arbitrational or conciliatory methods
to settle international disputes before
going to war.
Committee Appointed.
The Boston committee appointed to
represent labor in the League are
John J. Barry, A. G. Langlois, Joseph
J. Hunt, Arthur M. Huddell, Ignatious
McNulty, John ]. Fenton, John F.
Stevens, Michael A. Murphy, Fred J.
Kneeland, William c. FRANKIE, Harry
P. Jennings, and J. Walter Mullen.
The proposals of the Taft League,
as adopted at the independence Hall
meeting, are as follows:
I'VE believe it to be desirable for
the United States to join League of
Nations binding the signatories to. the
folIowin:
First. All justiciable questions
arising between the signatory powers,
not settled by negotiations, shall, sub
ject to the limitations of treaties, be
submitted to a judicial tribunal for
hearing and judgment, both upon the
merits and upon any issue as to its
jurisdiction of the question.
AONOAus AL OtuOA QuOOCAOAo al ID
ing between the signatories and not
settled by negotiations, shall be sub
mitted to Council of Cancellation for
hearing, consideration an drecommen-
dation.
Third. The signatory powers shall
jointly use forthwith both their eco
nomic and military forces against any
one of their number that goes to war,
or commits acts OF. hostility, against
another Of the signatories before any
question arising shall be submitted as
provided in the foregoing.
emo provision is made for the en-
forcement of the decree, however.
Under the plan nations may fight af
ter arbitration, il dissatisfied.)
Fourth. Conferences between the
signatory powers shall be held from
time to time to formulate and codify
rules Of international law, which, un-
less some signatory shall signify its
dissent within a stated period, shall
thereafter govern in the decisions Of
the Judicial Tribunal mentioned in
Article One.

Union Made Collars.
Garment Workers complained to
the Assembly that the sale of union

Assembly Notes,

That the previous session Of the
Assembly was busy one was proved
by the fact that it required half hour
for Secretary Sonderman to read the
minutes.
Another long session. ~
So far this year the meetings have
been well attended.
Harry Weiss don't like the spot
light, but he. had to make couple
of speeches even if they were brief.
The Little Ctr" is getting tired of
these long sessions. Well bet from
now on the speeches will be fewer and
less forensic, whatever that means.

territory that is actually proven by

All of this territory is in the 3,4oO-

the 2,OOO-foot formation, secured ny
the Bermont Oil company on the Az
cry farm, east half OF the northeas'
quarter of 3l-29-le, has been the rea-
son for a number of companies max

sand northwest of prodpetion. Three
wells. right in the heart of the dis
trict have shut off the 3.400-foot for
nation because the six'inch pipe be
ing landed there would give them an
excellent hole to go on down to the
Bartlesville sand, if that formatioh
is TO be found in this district. These
wells are working at the present tlmcc
around $500 feet and expect the sand
near $500 feet.
During the past few days eNtrcIhv
cold weather has slowed up the actual
driIIing operations to a considerable
oxtnnt and few wells are able at the
nrasont time to make much hole be
cause of being shut down SO much.
The delay Is only temporary, however
