Republicans Agree With
Democratic Leaders to
Hold Legislature Open
Until Welfare Bills Pass
Assemblymen Disguised
House Tactics Cause Hint
T hat Many Will
Not Seek Reelection
Stat Correspondence


ALBANY, April 1o.-Four Republican
insurgent Senators are now in full con-
troll of both branches of the Legisa
ture. To-day the four agreed with the
Democratic Senators to hold the iegis
lature in session until the welfare leg
islation, which is opposed by the re-
dictionary leaders, is reported out of
the Rules Committee in the Assembly,
The situation is unique in Albany
politics. The insurgent quartet, which
includes Senators George F. Thompson,
of Niagara; Fred M. Davenport, of
Oneida Ross Graves, of Erie, and j.
Samuel Fowler, of Chautauqua, to- night
bolted the Republican caucus when Ma
jority Leader j. Henry Walters sought
to compel adjournment on April 49,
Earlier in the day these four with
the aid Of five other Republicans and
the Democratic minority, forced through
the health insurance bill. This is the
third of the welfare bills backed by the
Women's Joint Legislative Conference
and the State Federation of Labor
which has been jammed through the Sen
ate by the insurgents with Democratic
aid. The vote was 28 to 90.
Governor Smith lent his aid to the
passage of the measure by sending an
urgency message to the Legislature.
Senator jeremiah F. Twomey, of
Brooklyn, was the only Democrat who
did not vote for the measure. Twomey
was absent.
Besides the insurgcnt four, the fol-
lowing Republicans also voted for the
health insurance bill: George r. Bur
ling, Westchester; C. C. Lockwood.
Kings; George l.. Thompson, Suffolk;
Caleb II. Baumes, Orange, and Peter
A. Abeles, Bronx
Already there is an indication that
the insurgents in the Assembly will
come out into the open. But with
tie exception of Assemblyman Joseph
Stelnberg they are nearly all first
year men and bit timid. Several
have expressed themselves as being so
disgusted with parliamentary tactics
that they Will not seek reelection un-
til there is promise Of more liberal
methods in the Assembly.
Senator Walters made valiant at
tempt when the health insurance bill
came up to prevent the insurgents
from again calling attention to his in
ability to hold the majority together.
He first attacked the measure as un-
constitutional. When that failed he
offered to pass his proposed constitu-
tlonal amendment. This, too, was un-
successful
Senator Davenport, answering Sena-
tor Walters's statement that the bill
would cost the employers and employees
S1OO,O00000 annually and the sta,.
Slo,OOO,O00 year, said: Gas to the
figures given by Senator Walters,
know where they came from | could
add most Illuminating chapter to the
opposition to this health insurance."

Oil News

j. II. McClurkin of Winchester has
returned from ten days trip to
New York and Philadelphia. where
he has been in conference with a
number of prominent bankers who
are preparing 10 underwrite the con-
sOlidation of about 500 acres of pro-
ducing territory in the heart of Lee
county. The new organization will
have twelve producing wells. several
of which are now settled producers.
The amount involved will be around
one million dollars. all of which will
be taken by stock Exchange firms.
Mr. McClurkin stated that Kentucky
oil is highly regarded by eastern
nkcrs and that il was the unani-
nous opinion that, regardless of any
fluctuations that might occur in
other commodities because of read
iustment Ia peace conditions, oil and
oil products would prove eonstan;
and that prices would advance,
should any change occur.
Early in the spring about fifteen
wells will be put down in Owsley
county, which will be thoroughly
tested out.
The Gaines oil Company brought
in one of their best wells on Ross
Creek last week. Estimated between
10 and 100 barrels. The we'll filled
up about 200 feet without any gas
pressure behind il to force the oil
out, indicating a long lifted well.
This makes four wells ON their
Ross Greek property. The company
is doing everything possible TO get
things in shape for further develop
ment of their property both in Estill
and Powell counties as soon as the
weather will permit. The first OF
the year the company engaged an
expert oil man of twelve years eX-
perience, as field superintendent.
