Industrial Welfare Commissions g.
Hour Day Means Just That.

Eight hours shalt thou work and
no more, even tho thy employer pay

that the eight hour day order issued
by the industrial commission of
Kansas is an absolute order and may
not be abrogated, even by the in

IA basic eight-hour day"
An opinion to this effect was
handed down yesterday by Richard
j. Hopkins, attorney general. The
opinion was given in answer TO a
letter from Miss Lima Bresette,
secretary OF the industrial welfare
asking whether an or
der which provides for overtime
either at the regular rate or an in
creased rate is valid.
Hopkins said that the industrial
welfare commission has power TO
specify maximum hours and mini
mum wages but has no power 10
affix certain hours as overtime or 10

An interesting report on the oil
and gas resources of Dickinson
county was submitted to Karl Riddle
county engineer few days ago by
the state geologist following a sur
vey carried on here last fall. The
field work was done by +. l. Martin
and r. r. Elledge
The report was most favorable on
the district eight to fifteen miles
southeast Of Abilene not because
the district is the most promising
but because they are the easiest to
study. having more outcroppings of
rock. The west fourth Of the county
Is covered with cretaclc rock which
prevents the study Of the permin
rock from which the structures are
determined and estimated. The
eastern third Of the county has too
many exposures for accurate report
in the short time given to gather the
information.
In the above district the most
promising folds are the Knight
dome, section 13 and "a the Lar
son dome. section 80, and the Co
mant anticline, section 81. The
Knight dome has rig up and Is
being drilled by the Angus com
pany. The Conant anticline, a
long structural nose Is not under
test. The Larson dome is being
tested to the south by the Walker
wen which IS ready to drill
Throughout the report it is noted
that the Dickinson field is an exact
parallel study with the oil fields Of
North Butler and South Marion
counties. in that they have a gran
ite ridge to the east through Morris
and Geary counties. against which
the oil is supposed to accumulate
from the inclination toward the
Rocky mountains. The surface rock
structure is almost identical.
