HERE FROM SALINA, KANSAS

J.. W, Gray, of Salina, Kansas, ar
rived in Tucumeari this week to ac-
cept a position with Mr.. Cooley, who

Refining Co, stock. Mr.. Gray enter
ed the officers training school at the
beginning of the war and went to
France as 2nd lieutenant in 1917.
He was under shell-ire nine months
and had many close calls. He wears
a machine-gun bullet for watch
charm. This bullet was taken from his
left hip where it lodged evidently af-
ter passing through some other man
or object. He was wounded and had
to lie on no-mans land all day while
shells were falling fast all around him
He said he was afraid at first a shell
would hit him, and later he said he
was afraid n shell would not hit him
as his suffering was intense, but that
night his comrades rescued him and
he is well and happy.
Mr. Gray was made a captain be-
fore leaving France. He carries AN
iron cross which he took from q Ger
man he killed near st. Mihiel. He
also has "A small machine gun which
he took from the same man. The Ger
man was a sharp-shooter (man in

also a sharp shooter and picked this

PALMER FIRM IN HIS
STAND To ENFORCE
LAW AGAINST Miners

Washington, Nov. l0.-Reiteratng
that the strike of btuminous coal
miners is in violation of the law. At
torney General Palmer, in statement
tonight declared in emphatic terms
that the law would be enforced.
The attorney general declared that
those who conceive that the resou-
tions of a convention or the orders to
the officers of any organization in the
country, whether labor organizations
or any other are superior in authority
to the government of the land. will
find themselves mistaken"
The statement of the attorney gen
eral, which was construed as n reply
to the position of organized labor A,
set forth last night by the American
Federation of Labor's executive loun-
Icil, follows
The coal strike is plain violation
Of federal statute. This has been
the governments position from tho
start. The president declared it to be
unlawful and the court, after full hear
ing has now declared it to be un-
lawful.
"AIl ! can say is that the law will
be enforced. This same law has been
enforced many times and the depart
ment of justice has other cases now
pending which was brought under it.
The merits Of the controversy be-
tween the operators and the miners are
not involved in the court proceedings
at indianapolis, neither in the right 70
strike. Nothing that the government
has done is intended or designed to
have an, effect upon the recognized
right of labor to organize, TO bargain
collectively through its unions and,
under ordinary industrial conditions,
to walk out by concerted action.
The proposal by the president of
a peaceful settlement of the mGttcr
at issue between the operators and
| the miners, through negotiations or
arbitration was rejected and the gov.
ernment therefore faced the alterna
"A single group, to the irreparable in.
| jury Of the whole people, or of chal.
! longing the assertion by that groul
OF power greater than that of the gov.
crnmcnt iSclf.
Confronted with such a choice. the
governments duty was perfectly
clear. II refused to surrender to die,
tation of Il group and it proposes t.
assert its power to protect itself and
the people, whom it is designed to
serve. The government is no respect,
er of persons in the enforcement OF
the law. Those who conceive that
the resolutions of convention or
the orders of the officers of any or
ganization in the country whether la
Dor organizations or any other arc
superior in authority to the law Of
the land, will find themselves mis-
| taken.
II assume that the order of the
court will Ge obeyed. The president
offer for II peaceful settlement is still
open and hope that the miners ami
operators will now get together anl
settel their controversy"

OIL DEVELOPMENT IS

WELL DOWN $500 Fl.

The oil situation over Quay county
Is somewhat improved the past week.
The McGee is now going down as fast
as 24-hour shift can do the WORK.
The hole has been Strengthened ana
the loose dirt cleaned out of the 26OU
foot hole and the drill is now working
in grey lime, something similar to that
encountered at the beginning OF the
Pennsylvania formation. While the
formation now has IA slight Saturati1u
of oil there is not much gas and those
who know say they do not expect any
thing to show up for at least 600 feet
more. Mr.. McGee still claims he does
not expect oil until he reaches The
320O-foot depth. The formations Al
ready passed are perfectly satisfac-
tory and there is possibility that
an oil well could have been brought IN
but this test well will De completed

it is if it should blow itself in or IL

they will return soon to keep track o
