 Holding Movement
By Associated Press

Washington, October 2S.-Lator leaders participated today with repre- sentatives of farmers from all over the country in a further conference to Ce- wise ways and means of obtaining -red- its for the orderly marketing" of farm products. Failure to secure such cred its, speakers declared, might result in the inauguration of general crop holding movement until market prices would provide cost of production and a reasonable profit.
 A general committee to draw up a policy to be followed by the conference was appointed, with John Tromble of Kansas as chairman and the various agricultural interests represented. It went into executive session imm edi- ately.
 Further conferences might be sought with the treasury department and the federal reserve board, it was said. and Congress asked for relief if it could not be obtained otherwise. ".

 Van Bittner, international -epre- sentative of the United Mine Workers, was introduced, and greeted with tu-
 multuous applause. He delivered wig orous address, very much along the | line of that made when he, first came i to Birmingham. He reiterated the pledge of the entire union to stand he-

 said the union had more money to fight this strike than the DeBard>le- bens, Peters, Bonnymans and lot of others had invested in coal mines. Whether the military remained or went

AFTERNOON SESSION

At the afternoon session. the trSt resolution introduced was that of Will liam Doyle of the machinists' union. calling on all organized labor in the ploy of printing crafts to refuse to assist in the printing of news, edito- rials and other matter that misrepre- sented the cause Of organized labor. The preamble of the resolution charged that the "capitalistic press of the. oun- try. especially that of Birmingham nd Alabama, was slandering, villifying and |libeling the miners with a view TO crushing them."
 The resolution was referred to the committee on resolutions.
 George w. Jones of Mobile intro dUced the resolution with regard to the committee to wait on General Steiner. There was some demur to this, the position of the opposition being that General Steiner had made his position clear and that there was nothing to be gotten out of seeing him. Others were for placing him on record with the con- vention, so that the convention would have that record at first hand. Motion to table the resolution was lost. and it carried by a large majority

The Waste of Natural Gas!

oil is 50 much more valuable, that the average
producer very naturally feels no incentive to try
to get gas or to try to save it. If, after finding
gas he feels that by drilling his we'll deeper he
has the slightest chance Of striking oil, he will
mud off or case off the gas, and drill on down
for the oil. And so would YOU If he finds oil
and gas in the same sand he will let the gas blow
off in order to get the oil. And so would you.
Only by making the gas bring the producer as
much as the oil does will the producer have an
incentive to find, save and market the gas. Only
by making the gas worth saving can he be in
duced to save it. And intrnsically gas is worth
as much as the oil.
No county in Oklahoma has been richer in nat
ural gas than Okmulgee County. Yet John H.
Rebold, of Okmugee, who has been operating
for oil in that county for Is years; E. w. Kim
bley, who has been operating in that county for
II years; G. A. Clifford, who has drilled more
than 100 wells in that county and E. H. Moore,
who has operated in that county for Is years,
all stated under oath that in their opinion not
more than from Is to 25 per cent of the original
volume of gas in that county now remains.
Mr.. Rebold said
'lf the producer has good chance to
get oil, he will try to get rid of any
small gas wells as quickly as possible,
because he does not derive enough rev.
enue from small wells, or even medium
wells, to stop"
Mr. Rebold stated that in the last year he
brought in four gas wells ranging from fifteen
to eighteen million cubic feet each. That he
connected them with gas pipe line, selling the
gas at 6 cents per thousand at the wells; that
the wells were exhausted in two weeks, and that
he did not get enough out of them to pay the
cost of drilling the wells.
Mr.. Kimbley stated that he had drilled over 200
wells in Okmulgee County; that in 1913 and
1919 he brought in several gas wells ranging
from fourteen to twenty-five million cubic feet
each; that he sold the gas out of the wells to
gas company at 6 cents per thousand, and when
the wells were exhausted he lacked more than
$40,00Q00 of getting back the cost of the wells
Mr. Clifford stated that he had drilled in five gas
wells in the last year or two, ranging from ten
to twenty-five million cubic feet each; that he
sold the gas from the wells and just about broke
even on part of the wells and lost heavily on
the others.
Mr. Moore stated that he had drilled some gas
wells, and had sold the gas, and that the returns
from it had not been sufficient to pay the cost
of drilling the wells.
Ask any oil or gas producer who has drilled
gas wells what his experience has been, and you
will find out very readily why no more people
drill for gas than do, and why no greater efforts
are made in the gas fields to conserve the gas
than is made. AS said by the United States
Bureau of Mines, if you want to save the gas you
have got to make it worth saving.

If it is true as all authorities on the subject say
it is, that natural gas is the best and most con-
venient fuel man has ever known; and if it is
true, as the authorities of the federal govern
ment and Of the various states solemnly assert,
that the supply is rapidly nearing exhaustion;
then it must be true that every consumer of nat
ural gas is seriously concerned with the enor-
nous waste of gas which is daily taking place,
and with the devising and enforcing Of all such
means for its prevention as may be found pos
sible and practicable.
There are many forms of waste, and the author
tiles of the federal government and those of the
various gas producing states all say that every
form of it is due, either directly or indirectly to
the fact that the price Of gas has never been high
enough to make The gas worth saving.
BY far the greatest waste of gas takes place in
the field, at and in the gas wells themselves, and
is caused, directly or indirectly, purposely or
unintentionally, by the producer. AS is well
known, most gas wells are found by oil men in
the search for oil. With the exception of a few
gas companies, practically nobody drills for gas
itself. And the gas companies compared to the
oil companies and the individuals drilling for
OIL in numbers are but as one to thousand.
Both oil and gas are found in porous sands to
which the we'll is drilled. Sometimes they are
found in the same sand. Sometimes the gas is
in a strata of sand above the oil sometimes be-
low it, 1t is natural that the producer will try to
reach and preserve that product which is most
valuable, and will remove as far as he can every
obstacle in the way of his getting it.
When oil was selling for 40 cents barrel gas
was selling for cents thousand at the mouth
Of the we'll Oil is now bringing from $50 to
$4.00 per barrel Assuming that the average
price is $3.50 barrel, oil has increased in price
900 per cent Had gas increased in price in the
same ratio it would be bringing 81 cents per
1000 atthe well; which would mean that the gas
company in order to pay the producer that price
for the gas and pay its taxes, its operating ex-
penses, its maintenance expenses, stand the
leakage and shrinkage in transporting the gas,
the depreciation on its pipe lines and COM
pressor stations, pay its stockholders reason
able return on their investment and set aside
reasonable sum with which to return the stock
holders their investment when the gas is all
gone, would have to sell the gas at from 80 to
80 cents per thousand.
But the price of gas ranges from to 10 cents
per thousand at the we'll. The lowest the Okla
homa Natural has paid for some years is cents,
and that is about the average price in this State
1t ought to be higher. 1t ought to be not less
than IL cents thousand, and probably higher
than that. The Oklahoma Natural Gas Com.
pany is willing to pay the producer any price for
his gas which the rates it is allowed to charge
will permit
But gas at or even 10 cents thousand at the
we'll is Of only slight interest to the producer.
The life of an oil well is so much longer, and the

RUNAWAY LAD
IS Sent HOME


Chief Of Police George D. Reed
Of Aledo picked up Herbert Bird,
boy runaway from Fairport, Iowa,
as he was attempting to board Q
freight train, few days ago, south
without the necessary ticket. Chief
Reed started the boy on his trip
home to Fairport, after the lad told
his story.
+ The boy. who is the son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Orange Bird Of Fairport,
Iowa, is 16 years Of age and had
left home, intending to 60 to Gales
burg to visit his sister, Mrs. Pearl
Reynolds, He got as far as New
Boston on Tuesday, where he pur-
chased ticket for Alpha, intending
to transfer at that station for
Galesburg.
The lad left the train at Aledo
on sightseeing trip and missed the
train as 1t pulled out. Not being
possessed Of additional money, the
lad thought he would beat his way
to Galesburg, but Chief Reed inter-
cepted him as he boarded the train
here Tuesday night. He was
searched and q quantity Of matches,
tobacco and cigaret papers were
found but-no money.
Chief Reed sent the boy to New
Boston, where the lad claimed to
know Cal Pierson, with whom he
would spend the night and later go
to his parents at Fairport, Iowa.
The lad claims that he had not run
away from home but that his par
ents knew where he was going.
