pending today.
Following a series Of confer
ences between representatives Of
the railroad company and of the
men, in Guifport for the last two
weeks, it became known today
that hundreds of the union men
are making preparations to 60 on

Details of the grievances and
Of the negotiations which have
been under way for so long, are

fees of the company, it was stat
ed that nothing Is known of the
alleged grievances, and each in
quirer is referred to the main Of

tives of the men are mute regard
ing their troubles. They, too, re-
fer all questioners to the men,
bers of the grievance committee,
now in GuIfport.
sTRikEsREAkERS HERE.
Il is understood that the Gulf
& Ship Island Railroad fears a
strike, and has imported num-
ber of strikebreakers from New
Orleans, and has placed them at
various points along the line,
ready to put them to work, once a
walkout occurs.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, the Order of Railroad
Conductors, and the Brotherhood
Of Railway Trainmen are banded
together in the present argument.
The railroad men maintain that
the railroad company has been dis
charging without just cause many
of the trainmen who went on
strike some weeks ago, when the
business of the company was
brought practically to standstill
for several days.
A list Of grievances Of the men
has been prepared, and is being
submitted to the railway officials
at GuIfport today. 1t is under
stood that the three organizations
have agreed to stand by each
other in their fight.
Reports that the men had gone
on strike, which were circulated
about the city all day, were denied
by both the men and the railroad
company officials.

Barboursville. Ky, May 2S.-For
many miles In advance Of the establish
ed producing areas test drilling for new
petroleum fields is now going forward
In Kentucky. The performance OF some
OF the districts developed this year has
attracted operators from many sections
OF the country, who formerly regarded
this field with suspicion. Last years
record in wells drilled and production
developed already exceeded by the fig
ures OF the first four months this year,
the 1916 season will constitute the most
active year in the history OF Kentucky
developments.
A new center OF advance work is the
territory northward from Estill-co.. ex-
tending well into Powell-co. For a dis
tance Of IL miles from the cowlick dis
trict of Estill to the Clay City pool in
Powell-co., practically everything has
been leased. A new strike developed at
Clay City during the week shows n
yield OF 20 barrels. Through the inter-
vening area between these two estab-
lished districts there is room for many
hundred wells. Prospecting expenses
are very light and rapid advance will
be made on this territory. The sand

rection having to be drilled deeper than
those in the Cowlick district. Some Of

Among eight recent strikes in the Es-
till pool is one making $50 barrels daily

ing n yield OF 40 barrels is about one
mile northward from production.
In upper Kentucky Lee county has
entered the area OF activity. with some
test wells starting up this week. This
territory is east OF the Estill fields and
gives promise OF yielding some shallow
sand wells similar to those found in
Estill
