OIL DIGGING WELL

The Illinois Oil company will
not be entirely dependant upon its
Oklahoma fields if the discovery
Of oil made by workmen for the

Frank P. WEIGH, president of the
company, refuses to give serious
attention to an alleged explanation
to the effect that the oil is the re-
suit of leak in one of the COM
pany's petroleum tanks, saying the
well speaks for itself-that his men
were drilling and found oil.

tibr Of the Wilson effort on the
eight hour law kn0wnsaS the Adam
son act
Only an acute emergency win get
legislation through: congress, and
in this alone lies the danger to
both labor and railroad manage
ment.
Mr.. Harding has not. yet used his
chief weapons-publicity and an
appeal to the nation. He has not
talked in alarming phrases publicly
as he Is known to have done in pri-
vate. The country would probably
be aroused II 1t fead Mr.. Harding's
pen picture Of the grave conditions
which lie ahead of the American
people IL the Industrial crisis is net
brought to an end now.
The president is mostly concern
ed over the coal situation. He
thinks the country will suffer griev-
ously next winter and he doesn't
dare to say what the damage will
be to the already slowly improved
business conditions which has done
SO much to cure unemployment
and bring the nation back to nor
malcy. He feels that at one fell
swoop much Of what has been ac-
complished to overcome the bust
ness depression which started two
years ago may be lost unless the
nation is adequately supplied with
fuel.
Fuel IS Big Problem.
The nub Of the situation Is, Of
course, fuel for industries. Mr.
Harding listens to the railroad e1.
ecutives as they point out that
train service is not interrupted and
that conditions approaching nor
NAL are being every day brought
nearer, but he answers all that by
pointing to the lack OF cars to car
ry coal from the fields now being
operated. It's bad enough, reasons
Mr.. Harding, not to be able to get
coal from the union fields, but it's
even worse to have cars lacking to
carry fuel from the non-union
mines. That's the basis for dras-
tic action when the time comes for
Mr.. Harding to act. That's his con-
ception of national emergency in
which he believes the executive has
unlimited power even II congress
is slow to act.
The president, in turning to con-
gress to help, is not sure to &c,
action soon enough to bring the
disputants in the present strikes
under penalty Of new laws, but
