DEEPEN TEST OF
SOUTHERN GRADY

The test of j. Ben Ross, drilling
on the Evans farm, ten miles south
west of Rush Springs in section 49,
9n-Sw, will be drilled deeper, the re-
ported 1715 foot sand having proven
commercially unproductive, it was
reported in Chickasha today.
Oil men who visited the location
early this week, state that after
drilling into the sand and bailing,
there was not sufficient oil or gas
found to warrant stopping and try
ing to make a well. The test is to
be deepened to around $500 feet,
unless another sand is encountered.
They have eight and quarter pipe
set and can easily continue to the
lower level it is said.

READY PROGRESS
Improvement In April over March
Noticeable. Says Government Re-
port; Makes Comparisons Of
Sales Commodities.

Washington. May 31.-Business Is
making steady progress toward re-
covery, the department of commerce
reported today, following survey
of conditions for April. Building con
struction and automobile production
are setting the pace, the department
stated. Automobile production In.
creased approximately 30 per cent
during April over March while build
ing increasing to an even greater
extent, reports show.
The most encouraging sign of bet
ter business during April was the
hardening of prices, the department
said. A few commodities registered
increases and others fell off, but IN
general the price structure was more
stable than in many months.
THE fact that prices have been
relatively much more stable in recent
months indicates improved funda-
mental conditions" the review said.
In April, 1862 automobiles were
produced, compared with 152,647 in
March, while truck production jump
ed from 19,449 in March to 21,944 in
April.
The metal industry is holding its
owE. Sheet steel, mills operated at
IF 2 per cent capacity in April com
pared with 6S per cent in March.
Shioments ana untitled orders are
steadily increasing.
april has rather been a month of
assimilation and of the adjustment
of conditions for progress in later

Washington. May Secretary of
Commerce Hoover today called upon
the 1900 nonunion coal operators
OF the country TO reduce the price
of fuel to "a fair level" This level.
Hoover said, is considerably below
the prices maintained at present in
many coal districts.
Hoover pointed on. that coal
prices have scored advances ranging
from % to so per cent since the
mine strike became effective. These
advances, he declared, are not ius;i-
fled and he urged concerted actor
to protect the public against prof
iteering.
Tentative Plan Mapped.
The general conference today was
called by Hoover following pre-.
liminary conference with forty or
orators two weeks ago.
In a pre-conierence session ut the
Shoreham hotel the operators mapped
out tentative plan of action.
One strong group is opposed 10
any lowering of prices, arguing that
prices are now so low that the op.
orators are receiving no more than
1t costs TO mine the coal. Acthsr
group favors a slight increase to
meet wage advance to the non
union workers.
Opposition Springs Up.
Still another group Is opposed to
the Hoover SUGGESTION adoption of
the Garfield price setting scheme
on the ground that Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty has not yet signified
officially whether the operators
could be prosecuted for fixing prices.
The unofficial promises of admins
tration leaders that no prosecutions |
would be instituted has not satisfied |
this group. They point to the possi-
