 Admiral Benson told the conference he would not recede from the outline of reductions he had presented as nec- essary to the Merchant Marine.

FOREMAN LONGS
FOR RETURN OF
0 OLD DAYS"

Cincinnati. Ohio, May 17.John p.
Campbell. a district foreman Of Lum-
berport. w. Va, discussed the dim
culties encountered by one in his po-
sition before the Natural Gas aasocia-
tion Of America In convention here
today.
Mr.. Campbell longed for the return
Of the good old days when men were
real men, pipe lining "A real pipe
lining. and men did a real days work
without stint or cavil." and then re-
viewed the duties which modern prac-
tees have placed upon the shoulders
Of the district foreman.
Zone of h most aggrAvating and
dfdtcult duties a West Virginia fore
man had had to perform said Mr..
Campbell, has come to him within
the last few years-that is to put in
operation an order Of the state public
service commission requiring all gas.
whether free or pay, to be measured
and reported to the commission. In
order to carry this out it is necessary
to maintain a meter on the line or
well Of the free consumer, and in
nearly every case the setting of this
meter has been bitterly resisted by
the land n When foremen be-
met with force and threats by the
lana owners, anywhere from personal
assault to murder.
Free consumers denied the right Of
the commission to issue such an or
der. They insisted that this was a
right they had under the contract and
the commission had no authority to
put an Interpretation thereon. Re-
sistance was determined that a suit
was brought by the Pittsburgh and
West Virginia Gas company against a
man in Marion county to enjoin him
from interfering with the installation
of a meter. The g was finally de-
cided by the supreme court of appeals
which held that the commission had
a right to issue such an order, that
gas companies must obey the order.
and the court would restrain the land
owner from interfering with the gas
companies in com implying with the com
missions rule.
Ever after. the court had handed
down its opinion many free consumers
refused to accept it az the law Of the
state and the foremen have. con-
tinually, up to this time. been con
fronted with the difficulty Of in
sailing the meters against the stub
born resistance OF land owners.
This resistance has been SO effec-
tive that the gas companies are yet
obliged to go into court and ask for
a restraining order in a great many
cases before the foremen can be pro-
tected against the enforcement Of a
forfeiture clause in his life insurance
policy. on the ground Of engaging in
a hazardous business"
