Ladies' Garment Workers Union.
This became known here today when
officials of the union announced that
it has committee at work laying

of union-owned factories, which are

These factories are to be establish
ed, according to Benjamin Schlesinger
international president, to demonstrate
that the workers can be paid first.

joy better working conditions than
they arc now getting and reap a
reasonable profit" from their pro
duct and still sell it considerable un-
der the regular market price
The union proposes to sell its out
put to consumers through their own
stores.
The first group of six factories
will be established in New York, to-
gethcr with "A number of union stores,
union officials said. Others will be
located in Chicago and Philadelphia.
Ample funds for the factories have
been provided by the international
union, Mr. Schlesinger said, and later
as more money is needed union shop
and factory assessments" will be levied
to finance the project until it is put
on a paying basis.
I'VE expect to be turning out medi-
um and high price garments for the
spring trade, a. Baroff, secretary of
the union said. The first factories
will probably employ about 1000 work
ers to be selected by the union"
They will pay higher wages than are
paid by employers in the garment
industry and seven-hour work day
will be in effect he added. The
workers now work an eight hour day
with u half holiday on Saturday.
The local unions of the Ladies Gar
ment Workers, according to Mr.. Bar

own initiative TO defeat the high
cost of living by establishing CO.
operative restaurants and stores. a
number Ct stores have been started
in New York and a restaurant is
being operated by unions in Philadel-
phia, he said.

immediate !. vicinity and this will be
the first thorough deep test made IN
Murray county. Ii is not. however,
entirely a wildcat test. The Corn
huskers Oil Company drilled a well
in section 17-1n.2e, about miles south
west of the Stuyvesant Oil Company S
location. This we'll was drilled into
a sand at 1870 feet. 1t was estimated
that at that depth it was good for
about 20 barrels Of OIL but was
drilled into salt water and ruined
Recently it was shot and water
partially plugged off.
a considerable number of shallow
oil wells, about 400 feet deep, have
been drilled in and about sulphur.
Some of these wells have been esti-
mated to be good for as much as 30
barrels Of oil Three or four sucn
shallow wells ranging in depth from
800 TO 600 feet have recently been
drilled in sections II and 1S-2n-4e,
about miles from the Stuyvesant
Oil Company's well by the Maupin
Brothers of Rolf, but have been capped
owing to lack of shipping facilities
The Platt Park Oil Company is now
drilling two shallow wells in sections
II and 20 Of the above township and
range.
In section 34-1s-2e. a liquid asphalt
well was drilled in to a depth Of
about 1,2OO feet over a year ago. but
difficulty was experienced in pumping
this asphalt Provision was recently
made for heating the asphalt as it ;s
being pumped and it is said that the
well is now making 100 barrela

and will be brought up again early
in the next session.
John Barton Payne, secretary of the
Interior in a report to the senate
public lands committee, endorses the
measure, which authorizes the refor-
nation of the United States oil cor
poration to develop oil resources or
foreign countries which will be avail
able when the supplies become eX-
hausted in this country.
Secretary Payne said in part:
The purpose of this legislation is
to provide means for further promoting
the worldwide search for oil. and in
that purpose l heartily accord.
THE publics need for an assured
supply of oil is so great that the
federal government stands back OF
the endeavor to develop foreign
sources of oil to replace in future
what America has exported in the
past"
The Phelan bill provides that the
United States oil corporation shall
be controlled by a board of nine DR.
rectors appointed by the president
The corporation can explore, deyei-
op. refine, transport and store )il
and its products in foreign countries,
subject to the preferential rights or
the United States to take all Of The
supply at any time at market price.
American citizens must own the ma.
jority stock, but foreigners may hold
a minority of the stock.
The capitalization will be determined
by the directors, and the corpora
tion is forbidden to do anything in re-
straint of trade which would increase
the price of oil.
Secretary Payne in his report adds:
Our merchant marine will need
oil in all quarters of the world ana
American oil stations are presen,
day necessity.
Every American company engaged
in this pioneering search for oil, which
meets the international requirements
of business conduct, should be given
full support by its government.
II believe. however that the authori-
zation Of special corporation along
the general lines l have indicated
will incidentally strengthen the posi-.
tion of American companies already
exploring oil fields in other conti-
nents and that it is matter of ma
tional concern that their activity be
given all the protection and aid they
deserve"
