NO "BASKET CASES"

Maj. Gen. ireland, surgeon general of the army, has issued an emphatic denial of the widely circulated re, ports that the army hospitals con, tain "basket cases" GA "basket case' means a soldier who has lost both arms and both legs.) "I have per sonally examined the records" Gen. Ireland said, land I am able to say that there is not single basket case either on this side of the water or among the soldiers of the American expeditionary forces. Further, I wish to emphasize that there has been no instance of any American soldier so wounded during the whole period of the war;"

NEWS LETTER FROM
 HOLBROOk SECTION
By JAMES F. oBRIEN, Asst-Sscy. Chamber of Commerce,

Holbrook, Ariz., May-Carload af
 ter carload of machinery, tools ant
 casing have been arriving here dur
 ing the last few days for the Winc
 River Producing and Refining com
 pany, and within a short time every,
 thing should be ready for completing
 the Hopi we'll to the oil sands. The
 equipment which the Hopi company
 had, while heavy for Standard drill years ago, is considered too light by the Wind River people, who are put ting in heavier boiler and engine
 as we'll as heavier drilling stems and bits. They are getting in full sets of tools, and equipment to enable them to carry out the large plans of development, together with 1O-inch and other casing, and two miles of two-inch piping for the water line. They are also putting in an extra heavy pump and pumping plant to take the place of the lighter one here tofore in use,
 The machinery which has been re- ceived by the Wind River people is more than ample for present needs at the Hopi well, and it is known that they contemplate developing not only the big acreage which they secured from the Hopi company and the Aztec Petroleum Securities company, but also lands secured from others, aggre- gating some 30,000 acres in all. They are under contract to begin drilling the acreage obtained from the Aztec company within 60 days, and part of the equipment received here is no doubt intended for that purpose.
 Since their entry into the Holbrook field, the stock of the Wind River company has advanced on the open market total of 66 per cent, and as they previously had big holdings in three of the best and proven fields, the quick advance at this time is look ed upon by the "talent" as highly complimentary to Holbrook.
 The Adamana Oil company last week closed a contract with the l.. A. Clampitt company, of Los Angeles, to complete it's we'll to the 2,OOO-foot point, if necessary, though it is ex- pected to have a pay well before that depth is reached. The Clampitts are known as among the most experienced and successful we'll drillers in the country and it is believed there will be little time lost when once they get busy.
 It is suspected that the Wind River people are not overly anxious to bring in the Hopi we'll until they have ad- ded to their already immense hold ings here, but if they should decide to contest for the honor of first reaching the oil sands, the race be- tween them and the Clampitts on the Adamana will be worth watching The Clampitts have drilled many wells for the s. P. and Santa Fe rail- ways and are the principal owners of a producing oil company.
 In the more westerly portion of the field, a large Los Angeles company is to take over part of the Richards Owens lease from the Hopi Securities company. They have contracted for standard drilling rig and have sign

BY the Associated Press

Washington. oct 2J.---The fight in
the Senate over the johnson amend
ment to the peace treaty entered its
final phase today with plea by Chair
man Lodge, of the foreign relations
committee, that the Senate accept the
proposal which provides in effect that
the voting power of the United States
in the league of nations be made equal
to that of Great Britain and her do =
minions. Leaders expected to bring
the amendment to vote late today.
Before the debate settled down to
the amendment itself there was another
tilt over the activities of the League
to Enforce Peace. Senator Brande
gee. Republican. Connecticut. said
thousands of dollars spent by the or
ganization in its efforts for the treaty
had been 'simply thrown overheard. -

THREATEN WALKOUT
IF K. K. BILL PASSES

Passage by either house of Congress
of the anti strike legislation contained
in the pending railroad bill would re
suit in a general strike vote through
out the country, officials of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor said today.
I'VE are willing to go to any limit
to maintain the right organized labor ha,
enjoyed for twenty years" said one
federation official.
William II. Johnston. president OF
tho International Association of Ma
chinists. the second largest internationa
union affiliated with the federation. saC
he would order n vote of the $50, ,OOC
members of his association He ant
other officials said there wasn't doub
that similar action would be taken b,
all of the 112 affiliated unions.
Mr.. Johnston said there was increas
ing tendency on the part of some en-
ployers to bind their workers with in
dividual contracts so as to shut out trade
unions. This was particularly true. he
said, in the metal trades, and direct
action might be resorted to if all other
means of advancing the interests of the
unions sailed
II was made known that the proposed
anti strike legislation would be one OF
the subjects to be discussed at the
forthcoming conference of union labor
chiefs.
In line with the call from President
Gompers for financial support of the
steel strike, Johnston announced that
tn assessment of 81 a week on the en- p
tire membership of the machinsts' as
soCiation as "a defense fund.- would
be proposed next month.
