STRIKE DECISION
TERMED VICTORY
BY LABOR UNIONS
Releases $1,100,000 for Use
During LayOff of Coal
Miners.

Indianapolis, June 5-(By The As

victory" by counsel for the U. NJ w.
A.. the supreme court decision in the
celebrated Coronado coal case was ex-
pected Monday night by union officials
here to be followed soon by the re-
lease of 81, 100000 of union funds now
tied up by litigation.
The money will be welcomed addi-
ton to the unions treasury, which
has keenly felt the drain of financing
the nationwide suspension of work
in the coal industry, now in it's third
month Union officials also felt elated
over the legal question decided.
Aside from meaning the release Of
union funds. counsel for the miners
union regarded the Coronado decision
was a precedent that would mean the
failure of various suits, already pend
ing or threatened, for damages result
ing from labor troubles. Further, the
decision was described as ending the
contention that the system of collec-
tive bargaining followed in the coal
industry is a conspiracy of the union
with operators of "closed shop" mines,
having as its purpose the suppression

The withdrawal within recent weeks
of DR.. o. NJ. Landstrum annd Senator

the field of possible candidates to two,
Rankin and Riddick and with an ap-

state, chances of the success of Ran

appearance of probable third candi.

prices fixed by the operators and the
long transportation now necessary

however, he added, had modified rises
In the retail prices which might have

Mr.. Hoover declared that he "simply

the whole sale price of coal had been
reduced considerably and that those

MIR. Stephens maintained that very

and only small tonnage, and that
there would have to be an increase in
the price of retail coal due to the rise
at the mines. He offered to cooperate
with any committees set up by the de-
partment to handle the coal price situa-
tion, but Mr.. Hoover declared that no
organization was being established to

Mr.. Hoover met with about 45 mem

Monday night, District Attorney

insufficient evidence that be lived with

DRILLED IN 16 DAYS

obtained by the Troy Sweet Grass Oil
company, drilling in section 81, town

! would be from 80 to 40 feet thick. Mr..
Hager said that drilling will stop and
casing run down to production. Plans
for carrying the crude to the railways
for the market will be made in few
days, be said.
With the sand penetrated only six
feet, oil men felt that deeper penetra-
ton might increase the oil flow with
a possibility of pressure sufficient to
force it over the casing.
Lower Sands Promising
Since production was reached in the
second sand of the kootenai, at a.
point where gas was produced in the
Gordon Campbell -Kevin syndicate well,
it was believed as very probable that
equal and perhaps greater production
will be reached in lowW formations.
Mr.. Hager placed the horizon of the
Campbell production at between 1850
and 1,S0O feet in the Sunburst No. /
location.
