Many Oil Men from Other Fields Visit Loca-

happenings When Lid FIelO Off.

Up to just before noon, all efforts to shut in
the NchoS well, IA miles southwest of Chick
asha, Farwell farm, section 2S-5-8, had gone
for naught.
At that time, however, the crew of experts,
getting the control head in place. They were
spending great deal of time anchoring the
casing before closing the valve for fear of
blowing the casing out of the hole Mr.. Nochlos
was of the opinion that they would get the we'll
shut in some time this afternoon.
Since 1:30 yesterday afternoon the we'll has
been running wild. Just before noon, after
having flowed for nearly "a hours the flow of
gas was apparently as strong, if not stronger
than it was yesterday afternoon.
Estimates as to the probable production
varied. Some, inclined to be of pessimistic
turn of mind, placed the flow as low as 10,-
100000 cubic feet day. Other estimates ran to
20O00000 while some contended that it would
go 40,000,000 feet.
There was throng of people constantly COM
ing and going at the we'll during this morning
There were Duncan, Cement, Ft. Worth, Tulsa
oil men on the ground and while there was ap-
parently considerable stuff selling, no defi-
mite line on transactions could be gained.
Mr. Nichlos manager of the owning COM
pany, stated that he had had an offer to sell
the so acre lease with the we'll on it for a price
that ran we'll into six figures. He declined the
offer however AS far as could be learned,
there is no truth in the statement that he had
closed deal with the Oklahoma Natural to
take the output of the we'll at 10 cents thou
sand.

London, July 11-With the German
crash threatning to plunge the con
tinent into the worst financial and
political crisis since the war, Lloyd
George today laid the entire situat-
ion which resulted in the collapse of
the mark before his cabinet.
The action of Great Britain regard
ing the situation, which is admitted
to be the most critical, will be de-
termined at the meeting.
The British expect the demorallzat'
ion in Germany to grow unless tho
quickest remedial measures are tax
en-, but it 10 emphasized in govern
ment circles that the outcome rests
on France to large degrees.
The British attitude still favors an
international loan to Germany as the
basis of re-adjustment of reparations,
but Lloyd George and his advisers
have not yet decided whether to re-
new the suggestion to France for a
revision of the reparations schedule.
Hope is seen by members OF the
cabinet that the present trend OF
Germany toward bankruptcy, which
the British say 10 at least nine-tenths
genuine, will act as warning to inn
press France that modification of the
reparations terms is necessary.
France will either favor coercive
steps against Germany or will awak-
EN- to the realization that the only
means of collecting from Germany
is by moderating the reparation
terms, it was believed here.
Great Britain will probably await
the reaction of France before taking
decisive action.
The allied committee. on guarantees
is expected to arrive in Paris from
Berlin tomorrow to report on Ger
many's financial status. Following
this, Lloyd George hopes that Pre-
mier Poincairc will come to London
for conference which will lead to
q reparations showdown.

At present the two warning fact.

tic about submitting the dispute to
a national coal commission. In ac-
cordance with their belief that wages
should be framed up on the basis OF
district or sectional agreements.
1t Is believed the operators will
wait until after the United Mire
Workers give their decision Saturday
and if it is favorable the operators
will do likewise. The operators pre-.
viously had stated they were willing
to put their case in the hands OF
the government.
There is every indication that gen.
eral trend of sentiment among the
miners is swinging toward accept
ance of the proposal, particularly
since it provides for framing a nat.
ional wage scale and for a federal
commission to investigate coal pro.
duction costs-two points which have
been demanded by the workers.
An acceptance from the anthracite
operators may be given Wednesday
This group has favored arbitration
for some time.
By August 1, according to figures
of the Geological Survey, the railroad
coal situation will be acute and the
transportation systems of the country
badly crippled, unless mining oper.
ations are resumed by that time.

Washington, July 11.-President
Harding has determined to use force
whenever necessary during the rail
strike to prevent any interference
with the mails or a tie-up Of inter-
state commerce.
From Attorney General Daugherty
and other administration leaders it
was learned that the president has
decided on stern measures on the
part of the federal government from
the outset of the walkout, because of
the approaching paralysis of the ma
tion's industrial life as the result of
the coal and rail strikes.
The administrations plan for meet
ing the rail strike calls first for the
employment of United States mar
ehals to guard mails and other trains
carrying supplies in interstate COM
merce.
If these guards are not sufficient,
there is little doubt but that federal
troops will be ordered out.
Suspension of railway mail service
from 5000 miles Of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad has been
r,ade necessary by the coal and rail
strikes. officials of the railroad nOti-
fled the post office department today
nhc Baltimore and Ohio also an.
nounced the withdrawal of one mail
train from the run between Flora
ILL.,, and Shawneetown, ILL.,, due to
the railroad strike. Withdrawal OF
the train, the railroad reported. was
due to the action Of strikers in re-
fusing to permit employees at Flora
to make up the train. Officials Of
the company said they feared more
extensive and serious offense in that
section.
The rail strike situation, which is
fast assuming as grave an aspect
as the coal walkout was to be dis
cussed at the cabinet today, a lead
ing cabinet member said.
The department Of justice is now
making a survey of the powers o.
the president in the rail strike. His
movers there are known to be greater
than in the coal strike situation, be
cause railroading involves both in
terstate commerce and transporta
tion of the mails. In both respects
the federal government is supreme
and the president has broad power
TO meet any emergency that ma.
arise.
Officials are studying the prece

Washington. July 1.-THE full po'
stion Of the government in the rail
strike will be outlined In state
ment by President Harding tonight,
Il was learned at the White House.
This policy is understood to have
been decided upon at the cabinet
meeting, where the critical indus
trial situation confronting the coun.
try because OF the coal and railroad
strikes.
II is expected the president will
issue a warning that the United
States mails must not be interfered
with, that interstate commerce must
be moved, and that disorders and
violence will not be tolerated.
Reports of violence, sabotage and
serious effects of the strikes upon
industry mounted.
The Southern Pacific railroad
called for troop protection, charging
strikers have used dynamite and
shot guard in attempts to enforce
the shop strike. A repetition OF
the Herrin, ILL.,, tragedy was threat
ened
A mob stormed Lehigh Valley
roundhouse at Wilkes Barre, Pa. A

gusta, Ga. Two strikebreakers and

Strikers Ranks Intact.

Chicago, July 11.-Ranks OF strik'
ing railroad shop men were held IN
tact over the most critical period OF
the walk-out, through support by
wives of the workmen, Bert M. Jew
ell, union chief, declared today.
Jewell said that none of the strik-
ers returned to work on the expira-
ton of the railroads ultimatum that
they would lose seniority and pen
sion rights. Railroads admitted but
few came back.
Continuance of the strike lou
per cent effective is due to the pow
erful women's auxiliary OF the shop
mems union," jewell stated. This
is the most powerful and best or
ganized womens auxiliary to any
union in the world. We have been
working on it for years and now its
benefit can readily be seen."
Jewell also attributed to the in
fluence of the women the practical
cessation of rioting as far as the
strikers were concerned.
