Oil Excitement
Quickly Abated

Pierre, April 20.--The oil tank in
the country west of the Missouri has
put many residents of that section
on the hair trigger" class when
ever oil is mentioned. A somewhat
amusing situation is reported from
Cottonwood in this relation. A well
was being drilled for water. and at
a depth of about 100 feet the bailer
brought up load of oily gumbo. An
excited individual secured a handful
of this "crude oil' and rushed to
Cottonwood TO report the find as con-
firmafion that they were in the oil
belt for certain. He soon had an
audience composed of large part of
residents of the town, and as the eX-
citement grow, the word reached Phil
ip, and line of autos was soon on
the way from that town to the new
"oil location"
But the excitement abated as fast
as it had grown when on reaching the
site of the new "oil WELL" the drtller
in charge said, that he had upset a
jug of oil that day and that a part
of it had run into the hole he was
drilling.

Chicago, April 20.-Oscar Nelson,
vice president of the Chicago FEEDER
alton of Labor, yesterday squelched
soviet propaganda at the regular
meeting of the federation in Musi-
clans hall
Without mincing his words, Mel
son told protagonists of the Lenine
philosophy to either tear up their
union cards and sever their associa-
tion from the trades union move
ment, or cease preaching the creed
of bolshevism and red revolt. Mel
sons ire was aroused by Gustav
Frankenthal. business agent for the
machinists union. during a discus

bills now pending in Springfield
which labor leaders regard as hostile
TO rhe labor movement
Delegate Frank Lee declared that
men of the labor movement deserved
any detrimental legislation that was
passed because of their effort 10
elect enough legislators TO control
the law making bodies. He added
that the more obnoxious and oppres-
sive such Legislation was. the more
he would be pleased, because, he
said, the working class would never
do anything worth while for itself
until it was goaded into action by
tyranny and oppression.
"Since the first man walked this
earth there has been labor prob
lem and until the last man leaves
it there will still be labor problem
to solve" said Nelson. "The best
minds of the age have sought solu-
ton for it in vain. Any man who
can stand here and say he has So
luton for its is a liar. He is trying
to muddle by his twisted reasoning
the minds of the delegates. / repeat
that propagandists of the soviet have
no right to accept any of the bene-
fits which have been won by organ

of Wagner in the action brought to
prevent the South Dakota Light and
Power company, of Armour, from in

PUBLIC OPPRESSIVE
TOWARD RAILROADS
PRESENT SCHEDULE SHOULD
REMAIN UNTIL BUSINESS M
PROVES.

Sioux City, April 20.-The rail-
road situation of today is the direct
result of the attitude assumed in re-
cent years by the American public
and its failure to understand the
problems which confronted the trans
portation systems of the country, c.
H. Markham, of Chicago, president
of the Illinois Central railroad, told
$50 members of the Rotary club and
their guests at the Martin hotel.
THE public has been both oppres-
sive and repressive in its stand to-
wards the railroads. This has inn
peded and made progress very diff
cult. The first constructive effort on
the part of the people of this coun-
try was the transportation act of
1920. 1t was distinct step forward
to relieve the situation which has
been proving a dangerous stumbling
block" he declared.
"The public now is makinlg an
other great mistake in insisting that
rates imm ediately be reduced" Mr..
Markham declared. "It does not
even show a disposition to wait until
there has been a business revival or
give business an opportunity to ad-
just itself.
"The railroads are not like indus
tries in that rates can be one thing
one day and another the next, fluc-
tuating with business. Neither car
the railroad close its doors and cease
operation during industrial depres-
sion. For this reason rates now de
preston. For this reason rates now
deemed necessary must stay in effect
until such time as business is re-
vived and the railroads are assured
sufficient revenue to make ends
meet.
''It is the duty of every business
man, both for his own welfare and
for that of his neighbor, to discour'
age the talk of cutting rates at this
time. 1t also is his duty to make 9
thorough study of the situation thai
he may be better informed as to the
problems that are confronting the
roads.
81 will frankly admit that in some
cases the rates are too high, but tha
is condition that is met in mos
every corrective endeavor. But th'
revenue under the old schedule is no
sufficient to meet the oprating ex
penses of the railroads. That i
something that must be taken int
consideration"
| Mr.. Markham said it is his wisl
that wages might be kept up on th'
roads If the business was sufficien
/ to warrant it. He said that will
decreased business it costs as mucl
to give the necessary service of 81
| per cent of normal business as 10'
per cent.
Mr.. Markham severely took t.
task those who declare the high rate

Rakowsky Heaviest Man
Rakowsky and Cooley fill the tackle
positions capably. The former, al
though new man. gives great
promise of results. He is the heaviest
years experience and is one of the
lettermen.
Davis. playing at right halfback, is
expected to take care of much OF the

schools leading track stars, which
fact. added to his ability to kick and
knowledge of the E~me, makes him n
valuable man.
Mahoney is the only new man IN

is, perhaps. the heaviest of the four.
