Mine Union Officials Differ on
blow at Kansas Rebellion
= and Illinois Unions. =. . .

: WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-William
Green, secretary-treasurer> of the
United Mine. Workers Of America, is
reported here to have. rebelled
against a;::proposal made by John T..
Lewis, president Of the organization,
before their International executive
board, that the entire Illinois dis
trict Of the mine workers be sus-
pended-the. first step toward their
expulsion from the union. Ninety
thousand miners are involved.
Green, who never before has de-
fled the executive head of the
union, is said to have heatedly in
formed Lewis that he would never
submit to the breaking up Of the
great organization which he had
helped to build, and that he was
ready to proves that the membership
would repudiate' Lewis proposal.
The suspension motion was not
adopted: -.
In furtherance of the same deter
mination to punish the Illinois
miners and others for their assist
ance to the Kansas miners who are
on stri Ike against the dictation Of the
Kansas industrial court, Lewis has
within the last week caused a spec
ial meeting Of the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
to be called here. His spokesman
proposed that the council issue or
ders to all state and city central
bodies, forbidding them to render
any assistance to the Kansas miners
on the ground that the Kansans
have been expelled from the United
Mine Workers of America.

ALBANY, NJ. Y, Jan. 5.-The
downward trend of average weekly
earnings of factory workers in this
state was continued in November
by a further decrease Of FL cents
according to the state department
of labor. The average Of Novem-
Der was $24.32. or about IS per cent
less than in November last year.
The averages are based on reports
received for 164S of the larger manu-
facturers throughout the state. .
Because. of high clothing costs,
and the strike OF garment workers
in New York city, it is interesting
to note that average weekly earn
ings in the clothing: millinery and
numbering industry is $21.92, and
in textiles, $20.11.

TEXAS LEADS IN
OIL PRODUCTION

Washington.-Texas again led all
states in the production of oil in Feb
ruary, when it's total was 1874, 900
barrels, compared with 11,526,0OO bar
rels in January. Oklahoma ranked
second with slightly more than 10,-
100000 barrels The Texas daily aver
age was 3S4.S75 barrels, while that of
Oklahoma was 359,714 The country's
total production for the month was
Al, 100000 barrels, a daily average of
1,47O,107 barrels, compared with 49,
141,OOO barrels in January and a daily
average Of 1891 900 barrels.
The midcontinent field in February
brought in more than one-half of the
domestic production. During February
domestic production of petroleum. ac-
cording to statement from the Unit
ed States geological survey, attained
a new high record, the daily average
Of 1,470,000 barrels. being an increase
of 1882 barrels over the previous
high record of January. Only once be-
fore in the last two years has the daily
rate of production exceeded the daily
rate Of consumption. Although the
daily rate of consumption and of i'm
ports increased slightly, stocks of
crude oil mot including consumers
stock increased almost 1900, 600 bar
rels.
On the last day Of February total
net pipeline and tank farm stocks of
petroleum east of California. gross pipe
line and tank farm and producers
stocks in California, and stocks of
Mexican petroleum held in the Unit
ed States by importers amounted to
208, 100000 barrels, equivalent to l43
days supply at the present rate of con-
sumption. Although this is the larg-
est amount of petroleum ever held in
storage in the United States, it is of
interest that the 13S, ,oo8, 900 barrels Of
petroleum held in storage in 1915, at
the time of the Gushing overproduc-
tion, was sufficient to meet the re-
quirements Of consumption for 21S
days. The domestic consumption for
the month was f0,611. 900 barrels, or
a daily average of 1.450.3s3 barrels,
thus making the production for tho
month more than the consumption.
