The question of a central competi-

OPERATORS DEFENDED.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. June 15.-As-
serting the Illinois coal operators had
not been treated fairly in negotia-
tions looking to settlement of the coal
strike. Frank Harrington, president
of the United Mine Workers Of Hi
nois, in a statement last night, eX-
pressed the belief that mine owners
of his state would go along with any
reasonable plan for settlement of the
strike" His statement followed re-
ceipt of a report from Chicago stat
ing that the Illinois operators had
refused to enter into conference with
operators of other states.
Mr.. Harrington said that on two
previous occasions the Illinois mine
owners had agreed to attend confer
ences of operators and miners to dis
cuss settlement of the strike. but on
both occasions the proposed meeting
was called off by President John L.
Lewis of the United Mine Workers.
after Pittsburgh operators had re-
fused to ioin in the movement.

HARD COAL STRIKE
SEEN INEVITABLE
Wage Scale Negotiations Off
Without Prospect of
Resumption. =
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associa ted Press.
NEW YORK, June 15.-The break
of the wage scale negotiations be-
tween the United Mine Workers and
the anthracite coal operators ap-
peared irreparable today. as the union
members prepared to leave for their
homes. That the suspension of the
hearings means a strike was the
opinion of both sides of the contro-
versy.
There is no prospect of another
meeting between our people mad the
operators" said Thomas Kennedy,
president of district No. Of the
United Mine Workers at Hazleton, pa.
Mr.. Kennedy said that the next
move was up to the coal operators,
but that he did not expect any more
proposals from that end.
I'VE will await the outcome of the
strike vote which will be completed
the 22d of this month" Mr.. Kennedy
added. "and report on the vote at
Wilkes Barre on the 26th.''
Between 10000 and 175.000 miners
are out now. The strike of MAIN
tenance men. 5000 of whom are on
duty protecting the mining proper
ties. would place millions of dollars
worth of coal properties in jeopardy
through water seepage and other
dangers.

Management of the
Company

A large part Of the strength of the Independent
company lies in its officers and directors, Ed II.
Moore, its president, has been one Of the leading
men Of Okmulgce for years and is known for his
business ability his honesty and his loyalty to his
associates. For several years he was a member
of the law firm of Moore & Noble whose practice
almost entirely devoted to the oil business.
j. w. McCuolloch vice president and Mr. Moores
chief aid in the management Of the company, is
also pioneer Okmulgeean, who has always been
identified with the oil business in some manner.
He is the field man Of the company and rated as
one of the best.
7. d. Harris, secretary and treasurer Of the COM
pany has been in the oil game since coming to
Okmulgee two decades ago and had amassed a
comfortable fortune before joining in the organ-
cation Of the Independent M. Fowler Graham,
one of the original directors Of the company who
is still active in it's management is president of
the Citizens National Bank, Okmugee's largest
bank, and one of the best-Mown bankers in the

state. He has large cattle and agricultural inter-
ests besides his oil interests. j. J. Moroney, an
other director, is president of the North Baltimore
Oil & Gas Co., q thriving Okmulgee concern, for
mer owner and editor of the Okmulgee Democrat
and writer oil subjects of wide experience.
He is one Of the best known men in the oil circles
of the Mid Continent.
Another banker on the board is H. E. Kennedy,
president of the Central National Bank, the second
largest bank in the city. Mr. Kennedy handles
much Of the oil finance for his bank and is con-
sidered an expert in that particular line. The
counsel for the company, in addition to Mr.. Moore,
is Wade James who is also one of the directors.
He has been a resident of Okmulgee for years and
his entire practice has had to do with the oil
business
r. NJ higgins, the assistant secretary of the com-
pany, who is not director, is certified public
accountant, who conducted offices Of his in
Oklahoma City and Okmulgee for several years,
and who specialized in oil accounting He was
secured by the Independent to handle their
counting department because of his superior tai
ents along that line.
The Independent company is on a firm financial
basis; its present production is largely settled. it
has ample, wel-located acreage for years of de-
velopment; its operations are confined to counties
that have made oil history in the past and are sure
to repeat in the future; its management is in the
hands Of oil men of the type that make for
and it looks forward into tho year 1928 with every
confidence and indication that 1928 will exceed
in profits and success any of the past three years
during which the company has grown from a new
and unknown organization to the largest oil pro-
duciug company in the Okmulgee district.
The Morning Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Okla.) 1919-1927, 1922-12-31

The story of the Independent Oil and Gas Com
pany of Okmulgee is outstanding example OF
the opportunities that are offered to honest and
earnest men in the oil producing business of Okla
homa and particularly in the Okmulgee district
and vicinity Organized by small group OF indl-
vidual operators in October, 1919 with nucleus
of 900 acres of leases and $50 barrels of produc-
ton, the company today is the largest oil pro-
ducing company in the Okmulgee district and now
has properties and prospects which seem destined
to make it one of the big independent companies
of the Md-Contnent fields The company is under
the same management today it was at organi-
cation and its three chief executive officers have
held office continuously since organization
The independent is not "luck" company nor
does it belong in the class that make "a million
over night" 1t has known all of the hard times
and vccisitudes that are common to the oil busi-
ness and its success today is dueychefy to the u-
wavering loyalty and faith of its officers and di-
rectors their experience as oil men and business
men, and to the fact that their standing and repu-
tation is such that they were able to weather
storm in the depression of 1921 that swept thou
sands of oil companies into bankruptcy and OBJ
livon.
The Independent has been built up little by little
a good part of its earnings being constantly in
vested in new properties but ii has also been fair
to it's stockholders and since organization has paid
in dividends 81, 800, 023,03 although its total out
standing capitalization is now but S3,OOO,OOO.
Until October 16 1922 the outstanding stock issue
of the company never exceeded $1,O00,00O and on
that Capitalization it paid more than half million
dollars in cash dividends. It's announced dividend
policy for the future is II per cent year or more
It's first dividend was declared in March, 1920, and
was for three months at the rate of per cent per
month, the total amount of the dividend beng
Sl7065.4O A similar dividend declared in
July, 1920, and amounted in all to 6,75889. The
