written for the United Press.
Labor Day this year undoubtedly
has a deeper significance for the
members of the organized labor
movement than In any other year
since Labor Day was instituted. We
are all painfully aware Of the terri.
BILE business and Industrial depres-
sion through which not only the
people of America but Of the world
are now passing.
. We know that labor has carried
more than its just share Of the bur.
den of the depression that followed
the closing of he most gigantic and
destructive war in the history of the
world. Ke know that labor has paid
and is still paying more than its
Just share of the price at which the
safety of civilization was purchased
in that war. not only arc we fully
cognizant of all of these outstanding
facts, but we point with unbounded
pride to TIE splendid record of
labor in these trying years. Without
the benefit of compact body of or
ganized workers in America, fully
determined to do their patriotic duty,
the war could not have been won,
for II was only through the combined
steady sustained efforts of labor
that fuel, food and war supplies were
produced with which to wage and
win the combat.
Let us, therefore. on this Labor
Day turn our thoughts to what 1t all
means to America and the world Let
each workngman tell himself the
story OF labor's record 1t will make
him better and stronger union
man than he ever was before. Let
tltn lllHH anu NOuldn III Nit iabci
movement recall to mind the funda-
mental principles upon which the
labor union movement is founded,
for those principles are as sound as
the rocks Of the mountains and as
fundamental as the air we breathe.
The labor movement stands for all
that is good and just and fair in in
dustry. Because it stands for these
supreme ideals it should and must
have the heartest support of every
man and woman who works. Forum
ate, indeed are we, the millions who
are members of labor unions, that
we are able on this Labor Day to
boast our membership. On this,
Labor's holiday, we show to the
world that the trade union movement
retains its virility, its srengh, its
aspirations and its sense Of eternal
justice.

Suffering with the other Oklahoma
fields in the depression which
knocked the props from under the oil
industry. the Cement field operations
have been greatly curiailed for scv.
eral months and there are apparent
few indications that the small or in
dependent companies will start any
drilling activity in the early fall.
The Magnolia is practically the
only company that has continued
steady development Of property In
the field during the summer. With
the first heavy slices in the price
of crude. many Of the small opera
tors took the count. leaving the
Magnolia almost alone in the field
The Magnolia. however is continuing
steady work and at this time Il
is operating nine strings of tools in
tde field. This company has two
10000 barrel storage tanks and is
taking the oil from the producing
wells Of the field. There Is every in
dication that their drilling campaign
will continue without halt until
their properties are drilled out. So
wide are their holdings in the Ce-
ment field that this job will require
many months and possibly years,
to complete.

by United Press.

by United Press.
Geneva. Sept 3.-Thc United
States has made proposals TO the
allies for amendments to various
mandates arranged at Versailles dur
ing the settlement of the peace
treaty terms between the allies and
Germany.
Representatives Of the allied gov
ernments who are here TO attend
the second general assembly OF the
Lague OF Nations which opens Mon
day. informed the leagues council
today that note had been received
from the United States proposing
certain changes with reference to
various mandates.
Although over a score OF amend.
ments were offered at the first gen.
eral assembly Of the league last
November. the leaguers took the
position that II was then too early
to think OF making changes. AS a
consequence. all proposed amend
mcnts were referred to a commission
composed of leading international
authorities. This commission has
recommended for adoption only
three amendments.
The first of the three amendments
recommended by this commission
provides merely for the election OF
the four temperament members of
the council, in such a manner as to
give all the smaller nations an OPP
portunity to have a representative
on the council The amendment pro-
vldes that the four temperament
members shall be elected for terms
of four years; that two shall be
eligible for consecutive reelection.
Election will be by majority vote.
The second amendment recom-
mended provides that the assembly
shall have the exclusive right Of vot-
ing the annual budget and control
ling the accounts and expenditures.
To prevent a small minority from
holding up the budget, the latter will
be passed on a three-fourths vote.
The third amendment recommends
ed involves serious change in the
covenant. This amendment is an
of the famous article
(which American political leaders
forced Wilson to have inserted for
the purpose of establishing that the
league in no way jeopardized the
Monroe doctrine
The original request to amend and
amplify this article came from For
eign Minister Genes OF Czecho.Slo-
vakia.-
The amplfcation, without chang
ing the form Of the original clause
relative to the Monroe doctrine.
specifies that the league shall not
only approve but encourage the for
nation of agreements amongst small
Ter combinations of powers, the gen
eral object of which is to promote
peace and international cooperation.
1t was the formation of the Little
Entente that inspired Benes to offer
this amendment.
A number of minor changes not
actually involving amendment have
also been recommended. One re-
commentator is that provision be
made for the participation in the
league of states which are too small
to assume the responsibility Of mem.
bership The committee has recon-.
mended that such states be allowed
to send representatives, but without
the right to vote.

Evidence found by the fire fight

claim that oil had been poured over

causing the blaze to be so fierce
that their efforts to check it were

Gorton Is Active

The Gorton Trust is one of the few
independent companies to keep "hit-
ting the BALI in the field. This COM
pany has, however lessened its
drilling force and for the present
will drill only the required offsets,
Recently, the Gorton Trust
brought in "a well on the Rgney
farm in the southwest of the south
east OF section 1859 in the regular
2i0O foot sand. This well is now
making 100 barrels day, marking
the top steady production in the
field. 1t is the Rigney No. 2 of this
company, the No. / in the north of
the same quarter being dry. The
company will drill two offsets to
the No. 2, Rigney will be drilled on
the Wagner farm in the southeast of
the east half of the southwest of
section 1908. The locations have
been made and rig timbers are to
be moved in soon. One of these Off
sets will be drilled to the 2400 foot
sand and the other to the 1900 foot
sand. The reason for the decision
to 60 to the 1900 foot sand with one
offset is that the Gorton company
landed good well on the Wagner
farm at 1900 feet, but lost it when
water broke in. They were not fig
uring on this sand, its presence there
being a new discovery for the field.
They will drill to that depth and
set the casing to cut off the water
New Magnolia Wildcat
On The McKenna farm, in section
11-5-9 the Walda Drilling company
is just completing its No. 2 we'll in
the 24O0 foot sand. 1t is showing for
a good well and the flush production
was around 200 barrels. The COM
panys No. / we'll is making about
60 barrels.
A new wildcat for the west side
of the field is in prospect by the
Magnolia company. 1t is, in fact fur
ther along than a mere prospect as
the rig is complete and tools are to
be moved in soon. The location is
in section 27-6-1O. A well there could
make a big extension on the west
side of the field.
A majority of the Magnolia's oper-
ations have been on the west side,
by virtue of the fact that their first
holdings were there, being the old
Fortuna companys property PR.

however has taken over considerable
stuff in the east side.

Charleston, w. Va Federal troops
We're on the battle front along the
border of Logan and Boon counties
today where for several days, ter
rfc warfare between the miners
and citizens has been raging.
Detachments from Camp Dix have
taken up their headquarters at
Logan, while the troops from Camp
Sherman and TT. Thomas were at
Blair and Clothier, on the opposite
side of the ridge.
Radio communication has been es-
tablished between the regulars who
are with the miners and the de-
tachment camped with the deputies
No further serious fighting was re-
ported early today.
The first contingent of the SOL
diers were met at st. Adams by Col
Stanley H. Ford, war department
general staff, who conveyed orders
to the commander of the troop
where to place his men. st. Adams
is about twenty-five miles from the
affected area in Boone and Logan
counties.
Gen. H. H. Banholtz had no very
disturbing reports from the so-called
front along the boundary line of
Boone and Logan counties where
the armed miners and others are
facing the largely recruited county
and state peace officers and men.
Tho armed bands are on the Boone
county side of the line and in a
strip of Logan county east of Spruce
Fork Ridge. while the opposing state
and county forces are on the Logan
side.
Randholtz gave out no statement
on the situation but expected that
when the military arrived on the
scene, the invaders will quickly dis
perse and return to their homes in
several of the counties in southwest.
ern West Virginia. This is also the
opinion of state authorities and re-
sponsible members of the United
