UNITED STATES OILS THE WORLD

w. c. Teage, President of the Standard Oil Company,
in discussing the world petroleum problem says
1.-THE worlds petroleum situation it exists today
this:
THE demand is Keeping pace with production and bears
every promise of expanding the future rapidly
crude oil can be supplied.
1t is conservative estimate that the world consumption
which in 1910 took 327 100000 barrels and this year is
using 6l5OOOO barrels will call close 600 barrels
in 1922.
Where and how is this production to be obtained?
The United States is spending its petroleum wealth
for the worlds benefit i'll order 20 per of the
worlds present demand"
Mr. Teage points that have done this because we
have had the most accessible oil but he emphasizes that
the future must not only develop supplies but
we must proceed actively and nteligeny develop oil
resources in foreign lands with proper government
operation

Washington, Sept 29-Employers

cally in half, according to an estimate
made by the United States Department
of Labor
This explains why disastrous economic
conditions exist in that section. The pur-
chasing power of workers has been so
curtailed that they are able to buy only
the bare necessities, and in thousands of
instances even less than their imperative
needs.
The steel industry has effected the big
gest labor saving of any industry, &C
cOrding to the reports. In one group of
steel mills the payroll total was reduced
from more than $13,O00,OOO for a given
period to about $20000O0 These plants,
of course. are unorganized, the workers
being helpless in the fact of frequent
ways cuts and ''readjustments' that COM
pei them to produce more for less
This report is illuminating in that it
states, with official sanction, that the aver
age salary of the industrial worker now
ranges about So a day. Before readjust-
ment the average wage was in excess of

Compilations recently made by the De-
l'e1l tillClll VI I-dDOl StdlCU THAT the Cost
of living, which at one time showed a
tendency of returning to something near
the War-War level, was checked in its
downward course and since has been
slowly but surely returning to the high
peak of prohteering prices.
The So per day wage that is establish
ed as the average is just about half the
sum declared by the Department of La
Dor and other agencies as necessary to
keep the worker and his family at the
bare subsistence level. The lowest fam
lily budget-worked out by the employers
themselves-puts the irreducible mini

the average was $2,000,0O0,0O0 This
means that, with existing high prices, the
nations best customers are able to con-
sumo a trif1e more than half of what
they were consuming twelve months ago.
The Department of Labor has an idea
that the process of "def1ation" has gone
so far that the workers are certain to
revolt and it is asking. through Secre-
tary Davis for an appropriation of $780,
900 to extend the work of its Cancellation
and mediation bureau. The bureau now
is operating on an appropriation of $780,,
600.
Davis has Informed the President that
if his request is granted he will be able
to prevent many strikes and lockouts,
thus saving business from losses, and in
turn increasing the nations income
through profits taxes.
Seventy-hve per cent Of the cases re-
ferred to the department are adjusted
without stoppage of work, the records
disclose Secretary Davis believes that
if he is permitted to employ key men
for each industry and a sufficient num-
Der of assistants he will be able to keep
the peace.
When this plan was first advanced it
had some sinister aspects that were dis
queting to workers. AS then stated
by LABOR it was the Secretarys plan
to establish an espionage system in the
large industries. eFderal agents were
to work among producers, find out what
they were talking about and report to
the Labor Department.
1t was argued by Davis that this would
enable the government to intervene be-
fore plans had matured to the point
where a strike or lockout might be I'M
avoidable.
Davis at the time said that employ
ers maintained 'under-cOver' men for
this exact purpose, and that if the Coy
eminent established its super-spy system
the private detectives would be unneces-
sary.
The workers, according the Labor De-
partment the best of intentions, are ap-
Drehensive that there would be "leaks"
that would seriously jeopardize their in
terests. Government agents would be IN
much better position than private opera
tors to gather information that would
be useful to employers, and experience
has taught the workers that it is not i'm
possible to corrupt official agencies and
turn them into instrunentalities for in
creasing their sufferings.

NONPARTISANS ARE
EAGER FOR CONTEST
FORCED BY ENEMIES

North Dakota's progressive govern
ment and liberal laws will be put to
their severest test at a special recall
election to be held on Friday, October
%, under a proclamation issued by the
Secretary of State Petitions demand
ing the election filed with the Secretary
contain approximately $4,000 names.
Agitation for this election started
nearly six months ago and has been con-
tinued ever since. Big Business inter-
eSts were compelled to spend large sums
of money in their campaign, which sew
eral times threatened to collapse because
of lack of interest on the part of many
citizens. Sentiment for it was built up
through propaganda and the distribution
of money. and it has been charged that
bribery and corruption were finally re-
sorted to by the special interests to get
the number of signers necessary to call
an election.
This situation encourages the liberal
voters of North Dakota to believe that
the recall will be boomerang for the
interests. They point to the absolute
lack of enthusiasm and spontaneity back

eminent.
Attorney General William Lemke de-
clares that he Welcomes this contest, as
it will indicate emphatically that there is
to be. mo return to normalcy by the farm
ers of North Dakota"
Lemke states that the Non-PartiSan
Lcaguers and other progressives realize
that they must fight INCREASINGLY to MAIN
tain the advantage they have gained over
special interests, and he hopes that when
the votes are counted in October the
result will be so stunning to the enemies
OF the people that it will be a long time
before they will be able to reorganize
their lines for another attack" He points
out that many leaders of the opposition
were so discouraged by the absence of
response to their program that several
times they threatened to abandon it. Pres
sure from eastern financial interests, and
money from the same quarter, alone kept
them at their work, Lenke asserts.
Governor Frazier has been chief ex-
ecutive of North Dakota since 1916. Last
fall he defeated the candidate of the re-
dictionaries by ajority of 5000 He
believes that his recall majority will be
several times larger.
If the officials are retired a number
of progressive laws will accompany them
and the crooked interests whose ex-
ploitations gave birth to the Non-partisan
League will be reinstated. The farmers
of North Dakota know what that will
mean, and are organizing to turn back
what they believe is threat of economic
bondage.
