LABOR RESENTS
WAGE CUTTING
Says Reduction in Liv-

. Warrant Cut

Special to The world.
PONCA CITY, Feb. 13.-with a
wage reduction announced of 90 to
25 per cent by the Marland Refin-
ing company and the Empire Refin-
ing company and Of 25 per cent by
j. c. Ibach, building contractor, who
is putting up the Presbyterian and
Methodist churches here, labor mat
ters are rapidly coming to a head In
ponca city. lbach's reduction goes
into effect Immediately and that OF
the two refineries on February IS.
lbach anticipates no trouble getting
workmen. The announcement OF the
refineries includes carpenters, brick
layers and such like trades getting a
25 per cent cut. the same as Ibach's.
1t is understood, too, that the refin-
cry reductions will eventually in
clude all employees, clerical and me-
chanicsl.
The union trades organizations
have announced through the local
press that they do not look favor
ably upon any cut, particularly so
until such time as there may be a
sufficient amount Of work to guar
antee steady employment. they make
the additional claim that the necessi-
ties of life have not as yet fallen
enough to substantiate cut In labor
wages Several weeks ago the brick
layers announced that they would
accept no cut from their 1920 scale.
Common labor has been cut IN
this locality to so cents an hour, and
farm labor all the way from $40 TO
s35 per month, board and room. The
l0l ranch is now paying $3.50 a
month.
