SETTLEMENT OF
OIL STRIKE IS A
remote MATTER

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, Oct. A.
Leaders of the striking oil workers
today declined to discuss the tele-
gram from Secretary Davis of the
department of labor, received yester-
day by the Oil Producers associa-
tion at San Francisco. The tele-
gram said in effect that the govern
ment officials preferred to see the
strike settled between the directly
interested parties if that could be
done
Strike leaders said last night they
did not know if any further steps
would be taken so far as the men
were concerned until they had re-
ceiyed a reply to a telegram sent
to Secretary Davis Sunday evening
in which he was requested to enlist
the government in an effort to end
the strike Everything is reported
to be quiet in the fields. Widely
published statements that strike
breakers had invaded the Coalinga
fields and were operating a large
lease there was emphatically denied
by Vice-Presdent Frazer.

OPPOSITION To
Mining LAWS
IS DEVELOPING

As a result of the meeting last
Saturday night in the Chamber of
Commerce at Reno, when DR. H
Foster Balm, director of the United
States bureau Of mines explained N
detail the mining bill now before
congress, the mining committee Of
the Reno Chamber of Commerce and
committee from the Nevada Mine
Operators association will work out
definite report on the bill to sub
nit to congress as Nevada's opinion
Of the law,
The meeting was attended by
about 100 mining men and a gen
eral discussion of the provisions of
the law brought out considerable op-
position to several provisions, es-
pecially the provision dealing with
assessment work and the one abol-
lshlng the extra lateral right Of the
present law.
1t was contended by some that
the present mining laws were ade-
quate and that the prospector and
the operator were doing very well
under the present system
Laying out of claims along gov
ernment survey lines was also OBJ
jected to, as was the provision pro
viding that claims could be held for
five years without a discovery 1t
was contended that the provision al
lowing a claim owner to pay 500 a
year into a development fund in
stead of doing actual assessment
work would work a hardship on
the prospector and would enable A
mining company or man with
money to hold claims for five years
and not do any work which in the
end would retard the opening up Of
new properties.
DR.. Balm traced the history of
mining in this country and said the
proposed law was little more than
a compilation Of all the present min
ing statutes.
