New Y0rk.-Amazing revelations
p%nrporting to show the existence Of q
concerted effort on the part5of d group
OF "upfifters, educators, and ministers,
together with IL W. w. agitators ana
socialists. to precipitate a%arevolution
IN this country In 1917 and 1918, and
stop the participation OF the United
States Ia the World war, are contained
In the report Of the Lusk committee,
which investigated sedit1ous activities
dn the state Of New York. The report
includes correspondence which 1t uses
to sustain the charge that the oppon-
ents Of the war had willing aids III the
war department, on the federal bench,
and In congress.
Notables Are Named.
Prominent among the many idents-
fed with sympathizers who are said to
have been anxious to bring about the
overthrow Of the government and es-
tablish in this country a soviet govern
ment on the same lines as In Russia,
We're two nationally famous women
settlement workers, a former presi-
dent OF famous American university,
one United States senator, and one
former representative In congress.
The Lusk report charges that they
were part Of the movement, with "..Big
Bill" Haywood, Victor Berger, and
others who have been either in jail for
violating the espionage act or the Sc
lective service act, or are now out on
bail awaiting the outcome Of their APP
peals from convictions.
Contains Many Letters.
In the report is published much o r
respondence from many persons show
Ing their activities and opposition to
the promotion Of the war, which causes
the committee to make this charge as
to their purposes: "a drawing to-
gether Of all the radical forces OF
w~orkingmen, suggesting mass action,
"a plan of soviet representation, a
scheme to agitate for discomfort and
disloyal measures, and ar international.
cooperation with the socialist forces Of
Europe"
Foreigners for Leaders. q
The committee charges that the
prime movers were a Prussian born
man and an Austrian born woman,
both Of whom figured publicly In the
pacifist efforts after the war started,
including the Peoples council, and a
second man who already has served a
year in pEison for violating the selec-
tive draft act. A letter OF September,
1917, written by the second man, is
published in the report. It says:
I'VE want to look like patriots in
everything we do. We want to get a
lot of good flags, talk a good deal about
the constitution and what u fore
fathers wanted to make this country,
and to show that we are the folks that
really stand for the spirit of our insti-
tutions."

ShOnLd Pick Up

The market for gasoline, which
has been trifle weak. should begin
70 show the result of the big pur-
chasos made during the last few
days. and demonstrate once more
the well known sact that conditions
"change over night in the oil busi
ness
n has been a good time TO buy as
refuers have felt that II better to be
on the safe side tand know what the
products of the refinery are going to
bring. even though it left them n
mighty small margin OF profit. The
big purchasers. however, to go over
a period Cf months, will leave them
ali safely provided with "a mnrSet
for the surplus stuff, and will
further make 1t very apparent that
prices must be held strong or there
will be an actual loss. II Is losing
proposition to trade a nickel for
q nickel.
The fact that refiners have been
paying big premiums for crude Is
no reason whatever for continuing
this practice, because there is bound
10 bo crude enough to go around,
and especially in the state of Okla
homa Is this crude, because OF the
great number of wells now drilling,
in all the different light oil pools
where refiners are accustomed to
getting a supply. There should be
no worry whatever about the crude
supply for the future, so far as the
refinpr is concerned. II is the big
pipeline interests who must protect
themselves against the future. what
ever happens.
There have been stories current TO
the effect that some refiners are
paying as much as so cents a bar
rel, which is Altogether too much,
and Is absolutely not warranted with
refined stuff selling at present
prices and fuel oil waiting on colder
weather for a market that will move
II In large quantities. Texas refiners
are said to be all running short OF
last years high mark, and a careful
survey of that great states refining
plants indicate that there is not
quite 30 per cent Of capacity being
utilized at the present time,
This eliminates Texas as a com
petinG market, and so far as the
center OF population is concerned, II
will continue to draw its supplies
from group territory, which means
that they win buy in Oklahoma
as against Texas. which is usually
much below Oklahoma in prices.
The chances are that Thanksgiv-
ing will see n greater use OF saso-

That the Indiahoma Refining

demonstrated by the fact that they

homa.
The now field Is located on struc-

only wonder is that otheC tests have
not been drilled years ago. There
was n showing Of OH at 2.200 feet

Should II turn out MS good as
either the field at Mazzard Prairie
