Kroger Non Union Drivers
Present Usual Weekly Record of Lau Breakng-Nearly
All the Crimes In the Calendar Committed, But Ten
Dollar Fine Seems to Be the Usual Punishment.

1t is not generally known to the pub
lie that on Thursday of last week Harry
Allison, an imported strike breaker,
brought here by the Kroger concern
to break the strike, appeared before
Judge Fred Hoffman in the Common
Pleas Court and pleaded guilty to the
charge OF carrying concealed weapons
Assistant Prosecutor Elstun appeared
for the State and the small fine of $40
and costs was assessed against him.
Allison is the same man who was given
$40 and costs for assaulting peaceable
citizen in the bottoms, Mr.. John d. Mil
Ter, by Judge Samuel Bell, only few
weeks ago
In fairness to Judge Hoffman it
should be stated that this fact was not
brought to his attention by Assistant
Prosecutor Elstun, nor is any criticism
due Mr.. Elstun, who was also ignorant
of the fact But if it had been a union
man on trial, our very active police
department would have been on deck
with copies of the conviction, photo
graphs of the striker, and all the facts
necessary to get him the limit How
ever, the police department don't care
a rap when a Kroger non-unon en-
ploye is guilty of an offense. No steps
yet have been taken to investigate
George Scheid's testimony before Judge
Merrell and published in the daily
papers.
In Case No. 4sO37, Municipal Court,
Robert Hollis, also an imported strike
breaker, charged with shooting to kill
Lewis Aschnauer, union driver, failed

OPPOSE CONVICT LEASING.

Kansas City, Mo.-Opposition to the
convict leasing system in Missouri was
recorded by the executive board of the
State federation of labor at its meeting
in this city. 1t was recommended that
two farms of 1000 acres each be pur-
chased, on which part of the convicts
shall be employed. Work on public roads
and in the manufacture of articles for
State use was also favored.
The legislature will be asked to put
teeth" in law requiring mine operators
to provide bathing facilities for. their
employees This law has been evaded by
the erection of few sheds, without wa
ter or equipment, which are called wash
houses"

MILK DRIVERS LIFE is SHORT.

New York-Three or four years is
the life of New York milk driver, tes-
tilted Lotion Horton, head of the Shelf
field Farms -Slawson Decker Company
before commission that is investigating
the milk question.
The witness said milk drivers are the
modern martyrs of industrial life, going
up and down 800 to 45O flights of stairs
day. They wear out in three or four
years, become flat-footed and their lungs
and hearts grow weak.
"We are getting about the last drop of
blood in our men for every quart they
serve" he said.

GAINS BY CIGAR MAKERS.

Chicago.-Thc membership of the Ci-
gar Makers International Union in
creased 5,47s between the months of
January and November 1916 On the
latter date the total membership was A.
672. President Perkins states that about
$4,000 of these workers have received
wage increases, in many cases without
resorting to strike.
Large numbers of unorganized cigar
makers have likewise benefited because
of the unions activity. This is especially
true of the non-union shops that adver-
tise themselves as "open shops"

U. S. DON'T GUARANTEE FOOD

Washington Officials of the federal
department of agriculture note rapid
disappearance of this familiar formu-
la on food and drug labels: "Guaran-
teed by the manufacturer under the food
and drugs act, June 30, 1916, serial
Mo-"
The guaranty has been forbidden on
labels by the government. The object is
to avoid creating the popular impression
that the government analyses and guar
antees the contents. Printing the guar
anty on the invoice transfers response
bility from the dealer to the manu-
facturer

OIL MARKET QUOTATIONS..
Tennessee in Limeiight

Tulsa men returning from Kentucky
and Tennessee report that within inc
past few months an extensive leasing
campaign has been carried on In Ten
nessee with the result that there Is
now on record about 70O,O 900 acres OF
leases. These leases are for ten years
with cents per year rentals and 10
per cent royalties Tho Southwest
Petroleum company, Delaware cor
poration, led with over 100000 acres
on record, while the Wayne OIL x
Gas Co. Pittsburgh concern, has
12,000 acres, and the Tennokla Oh
& Gas Co. has 81 ,000 on record this
latter being composed OF Tulsa and
Tennessee people. Others who have
Acreage are several New York and
PennsylVania people.
The leases are being taken on the
theory that there Is an extension OF
,ho Kentucky pool The acreage
leased is on each side OF the Tennes-
zee river. which Is used for n base, and
extends from the Kentucky TO the Ala
bama line. The maps OF the United
States geological survey OF 1918. spc-
cial reports from several gcologists
from 1910 to 1911. and state reports
are the basis OF the campaign. Hager
Bates and Kemp. the Tulsa sSologists,
have been engaged by the combined
tailed report and will begin work
shortly with corps of competent
men. The territory to be worked over
Is said to resemble the Gushing field,
geographically, the Tennessee river
cutting thru II like tho Cimarron at
Gushing. Maps OF the river shown In
Tulsa and photographs OF the various
bluffs show about forty well defined
structures that are plainly visible
from tho river. All financial ar
rangements have been completed for
ln extensive drilling campaign. which
will he under the direction OF a we'll
known Tulsan. who has spent the last
four months going over the territory
and managing the leasing campaign
in which about 20 men have been en-
ployed. Within the past few weeks
numbers OF concerns now operating
IN Kentucky have moved their geologi-
cal forces and lease men down into
Tennessee and the result is that there
will be lively development work go
ing on in that state within the next
few months Tulsans who have been
over the territory report that in addi
tlon to structural conditions there are
numerous seepages. sulphur springs,
salt licks. black shale lignites, shallow
wells showing oil and gas and other
Indications OF an oil pool and that
nothing remains but the drill to prove
up what there Is there. NThe success
OF the Russell brothers has attracted
much attention to Tennessee and re-
cept reports by Professor Gould has
led some Kansas and Oklahoma men
10 plan drilling campaign about 40
miles west OF them and near the ter
ritory leased along the Tennessee riv-
er. Much oil AT shallow depths was
discovered I'm Tennessee years ago. but
due to lack OF marketing facilities
nothing much came OF 1t. hut the pres
ent demand for oil has revised inter
est and now the old territory will be
thoroly tested out.
