Special to The Tribune.
Lewistown, April 21.-With flow
! which is estimated at 100 barrels a
day, the Jack Rabbit well in the north
east portion of the Cat Creek field,
| on section II, township -, range 30
east, came in early Wednesday morn
ing, the oil being encountered in the
second sand after the drill had passed
through and developed an oil flow in
the first sand.
The report of the bringing in of this
well created great excitement in Lewis
town for the reason that it practically
proves a great stretch of country here
tofore undeveloped, the well lying more
than two miles northeast of the group
of Midnorthern and Frantz wells. with
miles northwest of the Frantz and
Montacal wells on the Musselshell river.
Most Important Well.
For this reason it is considered the
most important of any of the wells in
the Cat creek field.
A large number of Lewistown people
who are interested in the oil game hur-
ried by automobile to the field. From
one OF these, Joe Baker, telegram
was received Wednesday night, stating
a noted Wyoming geologist, he had
visited the Jack RABBIT at S p. m, and
had seen the oil flowing over the top
of the casing at rate which Mr.. Slo-
cum estimated at 50 barrels an hour.
Mr.. Cobb, of the Cobb-Roberts Co,
returned to Lewistown Wednesday
night after having visited the well and
confirms the report of the strike.
The well is owned by the Jack Rab-
bit syndicate, composed OF Chicago
packers and members of the automobile
manufacturing concern of Apperson
Brothers.. It was sunk upon a lease
secured from Walker brothers, who
disposed of an adjoining lease to the
Watana Petroleum Co., Of Great Falls.
The well is but 22O feet from the
Baker No. 2, now drilling.

COAL STRIKE
END NEARING
Crown Makes Another
Concession State
Grant Proposed.

London, April 27-(By the -As.o.
ciated Press) ).-Settlemen Of the Goa
strike Wednesday night appeared more
likely than at any time since the men
laid down their tools. The govern
met during the day made another con-
cession, further narrowing the gulf be-
tween the miners and the mine owners
by proposing a state grant for q
transitional period of three or four
months, under which the miners would
be insured against their wages being
reduced more than three shillings q
day.
The mine owners have not vet
agreed to this plan but both they and
the government will consider the new
situation further tomorrow, and the
hope was expressed Wednesday night
that an agreeable basis will be ar
ranged between them for presentation
to the miners conference Thursday
evening.
AS the miners already have agreed
to two shilling reduction it is con-
sidered that there are good prospects
the coming week will see a settlement
of the dispute.

MANUFACTURERS
Of NATION FACE
/ BUILDING PROBE
Exchanging of Price
Lists, Operation of
Secret Codes Barred.
State Control of Insur-
ance Is Recommended
by Untermeyer.

New York, April 27.-Thirteer
groups of manufacturers spread over
the nation were brought under investi-
cation Wednesday at the Legislative
building trust inquiry. The committee
heard testimony that the manufacture
ers exchange price lists, operate secret
codes for informing one another OF
their business operations from day to
day and in some instances compare
the bids on each piece of work before
forwarding final quotation to the
prospective buyer.
The thirteen organizations declared
to be conducting these exchanges are
grouped according to products and in
clude manufacturers Of cloth, paper
ammonia, brass, copper, l. fine cotton
goods. meters, napthaline, natural gas
appliances, range boilers. steel lock-
ers, steel sashes and pipe valves.
Defends Insurance Exchange.
Earlier in the day the committee was
informed that there is no such thing
as free competition in the fire insur-
ance business of the United States.
Willis A. Robb, manager of the New
York Fire Insurance exchange, who
gave this testimony, defended Joint
rate makings by the companies, while
Samuel Untermyer, committee counsel,
severely criticised it and recommended
state supervision.
The thirteen groups Of manufactur-
ers exchange information through joint
offices in Fifth avenue. The com
committee WAS told that the mainte-
nance of their system and large cleri-
cal force necessary to conduct it re-
quires expenditures approaching $780,
600 annually.
Secret Code Number.
Albert A. Aisworth, secretary of all
the organizations declined to waive i'm
munity when called to the stand He
was promptly succeeded as a witness
BY his office manager, Frederick FL.
Loehrs.
In exchanging data through their
clearing house each concern is repre-
sented by code number and the pro-
duct in question in various colors of
paper. So that the outsider can learn
nothing from these reports, Mr.. Loehrs
said. The numbers and colors are used
for brevity, he asserted, not for Sc
crecy.
The Steel Sash Manufacturers Ex-
change and the Steel Locker Manufac-
turers' exchange, learn of the bids and
quotations of each member before any
particular job is let, he explained.

BEDFORD RAPS
]. 5. ISOLATION
Mont Cooperation With
Europe Hurts Busi-
ness, He Ayers.

Atlantic City, N. J., April 27.-The
United States cannot afford to isolate
itself from the rest Of the world but
must cooperate with the other coun-
tries on "non-political basis" to re-
store stable business conditions, A. G.
Bedford, chairman of the board of
directors of the Standard Oil Co. of
New Jersey. and Willis p. Booth, vice
president of the Guaranty Trust Co.,
New York. told the United States
chamber of commerce in annual con-
vention Wednesday night.
They pointed out that American
business cannot find market abroad
for its surplus products as long as
there are unsettled and abnormal con-
ditions in the world.
Postpone Debts.
Mr.. Booth urged that the United
States cooperate with the allies in an
effort to settle the indemnity question:
with Germany and that payment Of
the allies Indebtedness to the United
States be postponed for a period par
alleling the indemnity settlement.
"The future of American greatness
in foreign trade.' said Mr.. Bedford,
depends upon our ability to think and
act internationally"
Suggestions for raising the $4,000
600 required to run the United States
government for the next fiscal year
were made by Representative James
W. Good. chairman Of the house ap-
preparations committee, at the after
noon session.
Increased Tariff,
"Our tariff duties should be in
creased" he said, "and the excess
profits tax and the tax on transporta-
ton should be repealed. and the super
tax on individuals modified The less
of revenue from the repeal of the
transportation tax can be supplied
without hardship by an additional tax
upon luxuries such as tobacco, cigars
and cigarettes. 1T would be lar
better for America, industrially and
economically, to fund her war debt
over a long period of years. and give
American industry chance to win in
the race for trade supremacy

Harding Nominates 81
for P0stmaSterships;;
Policy Expected Soon

Washington, April 27.-The first
nominations of postmasters to be made
by President Harding were sent to the
senate Wednesday. leading to reports
that the administrators policy in re-
card to appointment Of postmasters
generally would probably be announced
soon. The list contained the names
of Al. III of whom, according to state
m ment issued at the White House, had
made the highest mark in competitive
civil service examination, except where
the veterans preference statute op-
crates.
Congressional leaders said their un-
derstanding was that the nominees had
not only qualified under civil service
requirements, but were acceptable to
party leaders in their respective dis
tricts, and that no delay was antici-
pated ID their confirmation.

Washington, April o7.-(The Associ-
ated Press. THE American govern
ment Wednesday night still was without
any official information as to the atti-
tude of the allied powers with respect
to Germany's counter proposals on
reparations. Consequently q reply to
the communication received from Ber-
lin yesterday has not been prepared.
Administration officers continued
Wednesday their policy of silence with
regard to the whole reparations Ques-
ton. 1t was understood, however. that
an element of the situation which they
have under consideration is an intima-
ton from some of the allied govern
ments that the mere transmission of
the German offer by the United States
would involve the American govern
ment in some measure Of responsibility.
View Unacceptable.
It is believed that the state depart
ment is not ready to accept this view
of responsibility on its part, provided
its efforts are confined to a mere trans
mission of the communication without
Endorsement of any kind
AS only three days remain before the
date set by the French government for
the beginning of its move into addi-
tional German territory, it is expected
that reply to the German communica-
ton will not be long delayed.

While the political writers are

prospective outcome of the appeal

Representatives of the millers OPP
posed modification, declaring the diff
culties would be remedied if country
elevators had better trained men.
Secretary Wallace several times in
terrupted the discussion to bring it
back to the specific matter under con-
sideratiOn, and at one time said he did
not care a "whoop who you represent
If you can throw any light on this ques-
ton so as to arrive at just grades"
Present New Set Of Grades.
A committee representing the legis-
lature of Minnesota presented tenta-
tive set of grades which would provide
that any moisture content over Is per
cent be made a part Of the. grade des--
ignation, eliminate the subclass "red
spring abolish grade in all classes,
modify test weights, provide for dock
ing for any foreign material in wheat
other than rye and increase the rye
allowance.
Deputy Inspector McGovern. of
North Dakota, placed samples of the
various grades of dark northern"
wheat on the secretary's table and said
that although it was the same wheat,
varying only in percentage of wild
peas, on April 20 there was difference
bee>een grade No. 1 and sample"
grade Of over so cents bushel, to the
farmers.
Millers Oppose Move.
John Shanahan, Of Buffalo, N. Y,
representing New York State millers,
said the old Minnesota grades were
worth nothing in application and urged
retention Of the federal grades. Grades
were desired, he said, which would
represent values and give grain inspect
ors something upon which to work.
Commissioner Murphy, of South Da-
kota, urged modification of the grades
to allow the use of ''the judgment of
the men, in applying them, declaring
that it was difficult to set standard
for the entire country which would
meet local conditions. Decision was
reserved in the matter by Secretary
Wallace, who may hold further hear
ings.

Washington, April 27.-Upon
motion of Solicitor General Frier-
sch, confessing error, the supreme
court Wednesday reversed the con-
yiction of Henry Albers. in Port
land, Oregon, on charges of hav-
ing violated the espionage act.
Evidence produced at his trial
proved that Albers, who was of
German descent, was in state of
''maudlin drunkenness" when he
made statements commenting the
German army and predicting it's
victory, upon which the Indictment
against him was based. Albers
was sentenced to pay a $4,000
fine, an dto three years imprison-
