SEPARATE WAGE
AGREEMENTS SEEN.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. April s5.-Ry
The Associated Prcss) - Separate
wage agreements by striking coal
miners with operators wero declared
imminent by state President Frank
Harrington of the Illinois Mine Work
ers union here today.
Reports have reached district head
quarters here. Mr.. Farringtor said
from different sources showing that
locals in Kentucky and Tennesses
arc signing separate wage agree
ments with the operators, In violation
Of the policy Of the United Mine
Workers Of America, and that in Ala
bama district officers have ordered
union miners to continue ut work in
deliberate violation of the interim
tional policy"
Sooner or later separate district
wase scales will be the rule" Mr.. Far
rinston said.
While making this blanket predic-
ton. Mr.. Harrington would make no
specific statement regarding the
prospects In Illinois but said that in
Illinois as in other states. Separate
wage scales are imminent"

vestigation Of the secret contracts,
sought Mr.. B1ackmoreis opinion on
the possibility OF draining Teapot
lands by any development In existence
at the present time. He adds az de-
sire to conserve this oil for tho navy
and the public IL possible. =
Mr.. Blackmore's answer follows:
'%The Teapot structure cannot be
drained by outside wells. Tho Salt
Creek and Teapot domes are entirely
separate. The synciino between the
fields contains water. Two wells
drilled on Salt Creek side proved
this. Shannon sand In Teapot carries
oil. Same sand in Salt Crock carried
water hence ~impossibility for outside
wells to drain Teapot. These views
upheld by biologists who are familiar
with actual conditions. Government
owns entire Teapot dome and L be-
ueve it unwise to tap same at this
time with 900, coo 900 gallons gasoline
In reserve"

but all of that is beside the ques.
ton. What I desire to tell the public.
through the Tribune. Is that I am
not a candidate for governor of Wyo-

that effect in a number of the state
newspapers. 1t was all unauthor-
lied. 1 noticed the Tribune took no
stock I'm the stories. because the Trib-
une knew better. I believe the stor-
les came out OF Cheyenne. But no
matter where they originated they
were wrong as far as I was con-

The concern I have in politics this
year is the came concern all loyal
Republicans have: and that Is in the
selection at the primaries of a ticket
made up of high class Republican gen.
tlemcn. Men who command the CON

I'VE nave nothing to apologize for
in the record our party has made in

done wonderfully well in overcoming
the legacy left US by the Democratic
party tina preceded us. 1t is work
like this that makes calling and
election certain.
