WHO BELL IS

Robert C. Bell, formerly special assistant to the United States at torney general, in charge of with drawn oil land matters in Wyom- ing, is beyond question one of the best informed men in the country on all questions relating to oil lands and oil policies in Wyoming.
 MT. Bell in the course of his duties naturally made an exhaus- tive study of every phase of the oil question in Wyoming. He has gone thoroughly into the question of the Teapot Dome lease by which the Sinclair and Standard Oil interests recently came into control of the great Teapot Dome Naval Reserve which had been set aside by Congress for the perpetual and exclusive use of the navy.
 MT. Bell has furnished to the International Labor News Service for distribution to the Labor Press a statement of his findings in con- nection with the Teapot Dome lease which is much more com monly called the Teapot Dome scandal From time to time ex- tracts from MT. Bells findings will be published. The first one ap- pears herewith.

Here Comes the Truth!
FORMER ASSISTANT u g. ATTORNEY GENERAL SWEEPS AWAY
 PRETENSE FROM TEAPOT DOME DEAL
A Conservation Proposal.

Again: Let us assume that there is drainage of E per cent and that because of the different provisions in the law as to the distribution of the royalties, or for any other reason; the government preferred to take the oil from the Reserve through wells thereon rather than from those on the adjacent leases, then the sensible thing to have done would have been to lease a narrow strip along the northwestern end of the Reserve and to have authorized the drilling of off set wells only. The Reserve (and the Teapot structure) is long and narrow, being approximately seven miles long and two miles wide, and extends in northwesterly and south easterly. direction; consequently, this would have required the leasing of Reserve and the drilling of compara- lively few wells. Such wells would not have opened the Teapot structure and would have taken only the oil from that part of the reserve cover ing portion of Salt Creek structure. But, if we assume that such wells would have tapped the Teapot struc- ture, even then they would not have drained 1t in a thousand years. Where wells have been producing in the Salt Creek field for many years there is no indication of drainage or reduction of gas pressure, 2,ooo feet away.
 Object Is to Rush Wells.
 It therefore has been the policy of the Department of the Interior to conserve the oil resources of the country, especially at the present time because of over production. It has sought to prevent the over-drilling of fields on the public domain. Now this policy apparently has been reversed, as the contract calls for the drilling of a series of 20 wells, and If they do not produce 10000 barrels of oil per day, then another series of pos sibly 40 wells, and so on until 10000 barrels daily production is obtained There IS no limit to the number of wells the lessees may drill, and no effort whatever is to be made to con serve the field Immediate develop ment is the primary object.
 In this connection, we beg to sug- gest that several geologists of highest ability and integrity be employed by the Investigating committee and di- rected to examine the Naval Reserve and surrounding territory and report the facts. The parties selected for this work should be absolutely free from any influence of the Standard Oil group and of the Interior Depart ment, if such can be found.

natural storage of a product so nec- essay to our Navy Should this par ticualr oil ever be carried to the At lantici Coast, by pipe line or other wise, I59o of it will be lost in trans portation. Moreover, that great per centage of loss will be sustained if left for any great length of time in any kind of artificial storage that the ingenuity of man has been able to devise.
 The best answer, however, to this proposition, assuming that there is drainage to the extent of I5o, Is that adjacent to the Naval Reserve, and the only wells that can do any drain ing must be on lands owned by the government and leased by it under the act of February 26, 1920. The leases to these adjacent lands provide for a larger royalty than does the lease to Sinclair. For example: the gov ernment receives royalty of 25% from the well on Section 20, above mentioned, and Sinclair would per haps pay half that much for the same oil if it should come through wells on the Reserve. Let the oil from the Reserve, if any, come through the wells on the lease which provides for the larger royalty, and thereby leave the Reserve intact.

GOMPERS' FOREWORD LAUNCHES BOOK ON
 LABOR MJUNCTIONS
Proud That Labor Man Should Have Done It," Says A. F. of L.
 President.
By International Labor News Service

By international LaDor News SerVlce Washington, D. C., Nov. Io-Dur- ing the trife more than 30 years that have elapsed since the first injunction was issued by an American judge, a mountain of court-made precedent has been created by which courts justify themselves in doing that for which there Is no authority in the law or the constitution.
 In his new book, "The Labor In junction." John F. Frey, editor of the International Holders Journal, traces the history of the injunction from it's very beginning, shows the false position assumed by the courts and tells how that position has been built up through aggression, usurpation and the serving of property inter eStS.
 There are in the books 1o7 printed pages, including an appendix in which there are set forth examples of in functions, the record of the A. F. of L. on injunctions and the model anti injunction law fathered by labor.
 There is too little public attention given to this great evil, this tremen- dous issue," says Samuel Gompers, who has written an introduction of the book, "and it is my hope that the splendid presentation of the facts of fered in this book may contribute much to the awakening of put blic un- derstanding and public activity"
 Further in the introduction Mr. Gompers says, "I am proud that a man of Labor should have performed this service"
 The book is published by the Equity Publishing Co.,, Cincinnati, O., and sells for $2, ,5o, postpaid. The book has just come from the press, union made product throughout.
 "The Labor Injunction" is based upon a series of articles published throughout the country through the International Labor News Service. MT. Frey has taken those articles somewhat in the nature of a text, building around them careful elabo- ration and adding to them materially in the matter of information and de duction The book, while written in a warm and interesting style, may we'll serve as an authoritative text book on injunctions, because it has been prepared with a care that as- sures accuracy in every particular. It has been suggested that labor men in every community should make cer- tain that each public library has a copy.

Engineer, chemist and metal1urgist are now a necessary part of large scale industry Two generations ago, said Professor Joseph w Roe, president of the society, executives regarded them as they do economists today. Their value was an unknown
 quantity. There is now growing rec
 ognition of the value of knowledge
 of sound economics and sociology as
 help in the reduction of large scale
 wastes. Society and industry are so
 bound together that neither can pros
 per at the expense of the other.
 Therefore industria leconomy is es-
 sential as a part of the equipment of
 management
 Professor Roe illustrated the work
 ing of economic principles by refer
 ence to the labor problems of indus
 trial executives. Economic studies,
 he said, show clearly that during
 every period of rising prices, preced-
 ing boom, labor is aggressive, wages rise, and unions increase in number,
 strength and activity. The boom bursts, he said, and with the depres- sion which follows, there Is inevitably series of defensive strikes, in the main unsuccessful to retain the high wages of the boom, with a weakening of unionism. This, it should be noted, has been less true of the recent cycle than of former cycles. Then there has always followed a period of social experiments turning to political nos trums, etc, until with the rise of the next period of prosperity, the round is started all over again. The indus trial history of the United States since I83o was outlined to illustrate the re- current cycles.
 Most of the speakers of the con vention called attention to the serious attempts being made to incorporate sound economic principles in the con- duct of business. The recent depres- sion, said one speaker, developed a definite respect for economics. Punches didn't work. Knowledge of economics saved many businesses from failure while others went to the wall. There is perhaps no sad der comment to be made on the at titude of the present-day executives" said Dr. Lee Galloway, Ronald Press, New York, 'than that while modern economic organization has so ar ranged and broadened it's background as to embrace the nation and the world, the business man of today Is trying to formulate business policies with a perspective not different from that of the ancient Greeks and Ro- mans"

Because fabrication is not dist1n- gu1shed from production of utility of time and place as we'll as of form, we hear the cries, "The producer gets too little out of what the user finally pays and Labor produces all wealth" This emphasis on fabrica- tion gets men into the bad habit of considering that in fabricating goods they produce value, and just by fabri- eating or growing something they ac- quire a right to demand other goods or services Tn return for theirs-From address of Ernest F.
