ANTI-RED FEDERATION

The American Federation of Labor is starting a
drive against the radicals in its ranks, and warning its
members against radicals outside. Samuel Gompers,
guiding spirit of the Federation, is determined that
reds like those recently put trial for criminal syn
dicalism in Michigan shall neither dominate the Fed
GRAFTON influence it. In this stand he seems to be
held by safe majority of American organized labor
The big fight is against the lone big union" idea
as it was when the l. W. W. seemed to be making
alarming headway with that slogan. 1t is the IDEAL
says Mr. Gompers, of men who determined either
to "amagamate or annihate." In other words they
want one big union one big ruin.
IF these men," says Mr.. Gompers, chad all the
gold of the capitalist in their pockets, they could not
better the capitalists to the detriment of the
working man than by doing just what they doing.
He need not have put it in just that way, enpha-
sizing the traditional antagonism between the work
ing class and the capitalist class. The distinction
between these two classes is gradually breaking down,
instead of strengthening, the Socialist prophets
falsely believed it would do.
The present fight is good one just the same
American labor unionism has grown up and prospered
the principle of autonomous trades unions, with
voluntary representation in larger organizations 1t
is the democratic way and the American way. The
lone big union idea is foreign to the spirit and nstitu
tons of the country and would doubtless be bad for
the average labor unionst for the general public.

INDIANS GO TO LAW

new chapter in the history of the American In
dians opens with the suit brought against the United
States government by the Great Sioux nation for
S75O0O0,000 That enormous is demanded by the
Indians as payment for lands and other properties
taken from them long ago.
The principal region much of which is now fed
eral forest and from which fortunes have
been taken in gold The government, the Sioux
tend failed to live up to the treaties of 1851 and 1861
took millions of of tribal lands without compen
sation killed the Indians game, confiscated their
ponies and tepees and spent improperly funds belong
ing to them. About one-third of the is claimed
is principal and the rest interest. The individual
plaintiffs number about $4,000. Thus if they win the
suit, they will have $4,000 apiece.
1t seems fairly safe to guess that the Indians will
not win, at least any such scale they hope. But
if they should succeed in ustifying their claims,
any considerable part of them, they will open the
way for deuge of court actions the part of other
Indians tribes.
1t is through legal process, often somewhat dev-
ous that the American Indians have been dispossessed
of their ancient wealth. Now the Indian using
the paleface's own method, appealing to his laws
through his own courts, in effort to win beated
compensation 1t is clnchng evidence that the Indian
is becoming civilized.

ANCIENT MEXICO

Another remarkable archaeological discovery has
been made in Mexico. A Scotch mining engineer
named James Philemon that in the state of
Coma, at the foot of volcanic mountain he has
found pyramid with only the top emerging, the rest
covered by successive layers of lava deposited during
period of perhaps 4G00 years
Fifty feet below the topmost stratum of lava he
found evidences of comparatively modern civiiza-
tion. Under the edges of the lava bed strange
utensils of older time precious stones, stone statues
and wonderful carved wooden images In a there
were painted hieroglyphcs.
There is in the past of this little old contin-
ent than historians have dreamed of. One Of these
times the archeologiss may be telling that human
civilization began in Mexico

FORD FILLING

DETROIT. Mich. June 23-June
finds the Ford Motor company un-
dertaking the greatest task OF its
areer that of attempting TO fill an
order list for cars and trucks which

Popularity of the Ford never has

'~kcreasing orders with June topping

And the demand for the Ford ex-
tends into every section of the coun-
try. for dealers from the smallest
ctown to the largest city all have
nsked for increased allotments of
Ford cars and trucks for delivery
to their customers.
Production has been steadily moved

ing pipe n capacity n purchasing
ability. Purchasing companies are
storing oil al a time when. ordinarily
they would be drawing on stocks; and
there are rumors of pro-ration of runs
and refusal of pipe lin connections.
Gasoline stocks are more than so per
cent greater than they were at this
time last year. due largely to pro-
tracted wet weather. A continuance
Of these conditions will bring on de.
m~oralization.
It Is the height of folly to attempt
to force your commodity onto a mar

Which will spell loss to all produce s
, and bankruptcy to many There :
no duty, legal or moral, resting upo,
producers which would compel them
to glut the market beyond consump-
ton needs or transportation capacity.
On the other hand. 1 regard 1t as both
illegal and immoral and distinctly
foolish to rush on to perdition with
an unnecessary drilling program.
which wastes a valuable unreplaceab.e
natural resource to the future detri-
ment of the public and the industry.
There is but n way to improve the
situation. 1t requires the unselfish
cooperation of every producing unit
There must be no mental reservations
nor cunning attempts to profit thru
sacrifice of others. Every operator
should shut down. By Shutdown"
is meant to drill no new wells that can
be avoided. And many can be avoid
ed-even those on expiring leases
II a conscientious effort is made to
obtain extensions from land owners
For what will 1t profit the land owner
to have the well drilled IL the pipe
line company will not connect or the
price is wholly inadequate?
Fortunately we have before us a
concrete example of what can be done
eShen producers display a real. sincere
and intelligent desire to correct un-
economic conditions. The voluntary
shutdown movement in the BurnanK
and Tonkawa pools is the most con-
structive n efficient effort Of the
kind that has been witnessed in the
past twenty years. These commit
tees AVE brought about the shut
down of over 1853 wells and have pre-
, 1923-06-24

vented the starting of many more.
Had it lot been for this movement
those pools would have been beyond
pipe line facilities and beyond control
today. (.
What has been done in Tonkawa
and Burbank can be done at Bristow,
Hewitt. Powell. Texas and in all the
other big pools of the field. It is
therefore urged that the producers in
each pool confer without delay and
further urging or direction
from any source and proceed to out
line and put into effect a curtailment
of drilling. Make it a real shut down
and stay with II until conditions are
definitely better. By so doing. you
will demonstrate your right to be
called a business man.
