cally complete and the machinery

be spuded some time next week.
The Magnolia is working on its
derrick in the northwest of the
northwest of the southeast of sec
tion 26-jn-Sw and is expected to
move in standard tools as soon as
possible. IL is not thought probable
that the Magnolia will be drilling
next week, however.
LeMaster, Muse ct al. will move in
derrick timbers next week, the To-
cation being the northeast of the
ooutbaact nf tho coufhwpet of sec
ton 2G.5n-Sw. Tools have been or

days ago.
1t is being agreed among the op-
orators in the field, to set the wells
300 feet from the lines, making four
wells to each 40 acres. This 1t is
believed will make the field a long
lived affair and will cut down the
expense of additional and unneces-
sary wells.

Washington, Aug. S.---Governmen.
tai seizure of the railroads In the
public interest today appeared in-
evitable as leaders of both sides in
the rail strike indicated their oppo-
sition to President Harding's latest
proposal for settling this menacing
dispute.
Rejection of the proposal will leave
the president with only two moves,
administration leaders said:
A call for a conference between
railroad executives and strikers
leaders to settle their troubles, and
this failing, to take over the rail-
roads.
The president indicated he is near.
ing the end of his efforts to mediate
the dispute.
Bert M. Jewell, chief of the shop
crafts workers, and other leaders in
conference here, made it known that
they are opposed to having their
men return to work, leaving a deter.
mination of the seniority rights
question to the railroad labor board,
as proposed by Harding. An answer
will be made to Harding tomorrow
when leaders of the shop craftsmen
meet here to pass ON the proposal.
More ominous than the stand OF
the leaders on the seniority question
is the call for q general conference
here Friday to leaders Of all the
railroad labor unions. This was is.
sued by Jewell and his colleagues.
The president has been assured
by his legal advisers that he has
ample authority to take over the
railroads through presidential declar-
alton OF national emergency, and
that he can virtually seize specific
roads failing to function adequately
through receivership proceedings.
Any nationwide seizure of the
roads probably would be based on
the provisions of the national de.
fense act, which gives the president
broad powers in an emergency.
Details as to how the government
would compensate the lines and
many other problems would have to
be determined by later legislation,
it is believed.
They invited the heads Of the six.
teen. railroad unions, including the
powerful big brotherhoods, to meet
here and consider the general prob
lem Of devising protection Of the
public, preservation of the railroad
industry, and an honorable basic
settlement of the managers and en-
ployes."
Officials here believe the Friday
conference will determine just how
far the allied railroad unions shalt
go in helping the strikers.
The strike leaders hold that the
matter of seniority rights is not a
debatable question; that they ara

Cleveland, O.. Aug. S.-Break in
the ranks Of the insurgent coal OPP
orators of the nation appeared to be
widening today.
Many operators were reported to
be flocking to Cleveland to attend
the coal peace conference tomorrow
with John L. Lewis and other mine
union leaders.
The first breaks came in the solid
line-ups of the Illinois and Indiana
operators. Ohio operators and the
mine chiefs received assurances ii
is said, that majority of the ton
mage of both states will be repre-
scented tomorrow. West Virginia op-
orators also will be here, it was
said.
Additional representation from the
Pittsburgh district also is expected.
The intention of the union leaders
and conservative operators to make
the conference nationwide, became
known when it was revealed that a
meeting of Lewis, Alfred M. Ogle,
president of the National Coal as
sociation, and other leaders of both
sides was held in Pittsburgh Sun
day.
Plans for the larger meeting are
said to have been worked out at the
Pittsburgh conference.
No word has been received from
Harry N. Taylor, president of the
Southwestern Coal Operators associ'
alton, at Kansas City. This power
full group of operators control the
coal fields Of Kansas, Missouri,
northern Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The three important points to be
taken up at the conference tomor-
row are:
IA basic wage scale for the bi-
luminous mining industry.
Am agreement providing that
wage scael conferences begin some
time in advance of the expiration OF
the old scale next year to avoid an
other strike.
3-SelectiOn of commission OF
nperators and mine union leaders to
make a complete survey OF the min
ing industry This commission Will
report back to both factions and It's
findings will be used as a basis FOR
future wage agreements.
It was rumored today that an OBJ
server Of the Pittsburgh Coal COM
pany. one of the most powerful OF
the insurgents, is here. This means
that this group is watching develop
ments closely with a possible view
of accepting any wage scale decided
upon.
Fear Of the federal court proceed
IRE in connection with the check-ofl
system was dispelled today when II
became known that the federal court
Of appeals had reversed the decision
Of Federal Judge A. B. Anderson
indianapolis, that the system was q
violation of the Sherman ANTITRUST
law.
