LABOR ORGANIZERS
IN THE FIELDS
OF CARTER COUNTY

The report has reached Ardmore that
union labor organizers are in the OIL
fields of Carter county attempting to
organize the workers into unions. Just
what promises are held out by the
organizers is not known but oil field
workers ought to look pretty closely
into the matter before they take IA
vorable step toward organization. During
the early years of the war the /. W.
Ws. invaded the Carter county fields,
but they were not very successful in
obtaining new members. a few of the
unsuspectng fellows joined and it was
to their sorrow and chagrin later.
There are fine opportunities for ad-
vancement in oil field work and many a
college boy who sees this opportunity
is induced to start in the fields and
work himself up. Men have recently
combed these fields for production men
whom they offered as much as $500 a
month for wages. Drillers, tool dress
ers, rig builders and all other classes OF
labor get good pay in the fields. They
deserve it, they earn it and they get
it without any union.
1t is possible that one feature of the
oil field labor could BE- improved upon
and that is in living conditions. Some
of the producers prepare good homes
for their people and others are not quite
so liberal, but after field has been in
for some time these living conditions
are made better.
When the worker enters the oil field
he expects more or less rough work and
not the best living conditions, but he

STARTING ON ERA
OF DEVELOPMENT
IN CARTER COUNTY

What Pittsburg means to the steel
industry of the world. the oil fields OF
the southwest means to the oil industry
OF the world. While we We're tilling
the soil and fighting with poverty, the
Pittsburg district was growing rich from
the profits of the steel industry.
Since the earth has given up its treas
ures in southern oklahoma. these peo
pie are growing richer than those in
the east and oil is building fortunes of
tSreater magnitude than steel has ever
Tiilt and there are thousands of men
9Hho are not making vast fortunes but
who are growing to point of independ-
ence from the oil industry.
The Ardmore oil district seems 10 be
the most fortunate of all the districts
in the Mid-Continent fields
The wells here are not spectacular,
the largest initial production of any
we'll drilled was 1000 barrels and there
was only one well that produced that
much, but the country is fortunate in
the fact that the sands are the thickest
in the world outside of the fields OF
California, where the sands are very
deep. The sands here will be producing
oil when many of the more sensational
areas are exhausted. AS one producer
said today, "Healdton will be producing
oil when Ranger is forgotten"
Healdton has stood at the head of pro
duction of any of the pools of the state
for some time now and with the dis
covery of new sands at Hewitt and at
Graham the country is beginning a
greater development era than when
Healdton was discovered. The new
sands are at deeper depths, the oil is
of hl her gravity, the thickness of the
sands have not been determined but it
is kri> vn that they are prolific and
there is a chance that they will prove
to be as thick as the Healdton sands
1t is not said in a spirit of boast,
neither are we prompted by pride in our
own part of the country to say it, but
the facts are here to justify the remark
tlhat Carter county will produce more oil
kan any other county in Oklahoma
ynd when compared in area Oklahoma is
much the richest oil state in the union.
