Secty Work Says
Denver Office
Will Remain
Weymouth Will Have
Enlarged Duties

A recent letter received at the To-
cal reclamation office in this city sets
forth a plan by Secretary Work that
dispels any rumors that the Denver
office IS to be abandoned or that
there will be any material changes
After outlining the plans for the
benefit Of the project people over the
several sections the secretary de-
clares:
Il am going to work the reclama-
ton bureau over-I am going to do
1t with the people we have. OF course
If they step over the brush they will
have to go. | don't ask anybody to
work any harder than l do myself.
but when they do not come across
they will have to step out. l am not
going to ask the farmers to shovel
mud in the not sun to support the
reclamation bureau if it is in soldier
ing.
Il have heard quite a little talk
about abolishing the office in Denver
and moving the whole office to Wash
ington. This does not appeal to me
at all, and l have no thought of
changing the personnel or location of
the reclamation service. 1t seems to
me that it would be folly to move
the plant which is responsible for
the work to the far eastern coast.
That is one trouble with Asaska II
il is true of Alaska it is equally true
of the engineering division of the
reclamation service.
To Retain Weymouth
There is no one of my acquaint-
ances in the government service who
stands higher than your chief engln-
eer, Mr.. Weymouth. My office is
trouble office. Everybody that has
q complaint gets it there. | see them
all, but no complaints have come in
from the farming and engineering
end about Chief Engineer Weymouth.
Your chief will represent me in
the engineering and his recommends
tions will be mine | will deal with
you people through him, if can He
and l understand each other per-
fectly.
"All the work of the reclamation
geryice-now the Reclamation bu-
reau of the Department of Interior
lies in the west and middle west.
We need western people and a west
eIn headquarters, the secretary con-
cluded in explaining his organization.
we have Mr.. Weymouth hs.e III

pointed Ex-Governor Davis as bureau
chief, another western man from the

appointed Mr. Cannon. skilled agri-
cultural man, who will go about from

at standstill the past two weeks
waiting for the arrival of casing. The
perforated section that was used has
been removed and an attempt will
be made to develop the well where
oil showings were the best some time
ago. It was found impossible to pull
the larger casing owing to the cement
job that was put in early this spring.
1t is expected that work will be re-
sumed on this priperty within the
next few days.
I4ahontan
Following a series of fishing Jobs
which held back drilling at the La
h0ntan, driller Mitchell reports every
thing clear and work progressing.
This well is nearing the 1900-foot
level and excellent showings are to
be found The formation while hard
is giving way before the drill and
each bailing brings up gas and oil.
1t is stated that the well is water
tight and that the casing is being
placed in virgin ground. On this
property eight inch casing is being
used and there seems to be every
indication of a well being brought in
at no distant date
Considering the delays and the
troubles that have been encountered
in the oil field it is looking better
today than it has in many months
and interest is general from the show
ings being made.

Coal Owners Stand Pat; Will Not
 "Clean House.

Harrisburg. Pa, Nov. 24.-Gover- nor Pinchot announces that the pol icy committee of anthracite coal owners have. refused to accept his plans for cleaning their own house of abuse" The governor made his statement after final conference with the group.
 The governor said he had con- ferred repeatedly with the coal own CTS and urged that the industry woes it to the public and itself to clear it. self of "extortion and other evils, and so regain the public confidence which it's course has forfeited"
 The governor also stated that he had been informed that 20 per cent of the coal shipped from the mines con tains an unfair proportion of rock and slate and that it's sale to the public is an imposition.

<sModel' Anti-UniOn
 Mine Blows Up; 
 Many Killed

Charleston, W. Va, Nov. 24.-The mine at Glen Rogers, in which p miners were killed by gas explosion is in the notorious Raleigh Wyoming field. It is strictly anti-union and was pointed to as "model' mine by anti-union coal owners and their pub licity agents.
 State officials hurried to the scene and were profuse in their usual claim that thorough investigation will be made of every mine in the state. This is the regulation yarn in West Vir- ginia, where gun men and cossacks are performing the duties of duly elected officials, and where other off cials kowtow to the representatives of absentee coal owners.
 If the usual course is followed, the investigation will consist of much newspaper publicity and then a gradu- al easing off as the public forgets the latest disaster. In no instance, how ever, will the miners be permitted to have a voice in their working condi. tions, nor will they be given voice in the selection of fearless mine in SpectorS.

Picketing Is Upheld
 By Northwest Judge

Seattle, Nov 24.-The St. Germain decision in this state, few years ago, which outlawed all picketing, is now set aside by Judge French of this city, who refused to enjoin amuse- ment trades from picketing several anti-union theaters.
 The court indicated belief that judges have been going too far with their writs, and while he maintains the principle of the vicious labor injunction, he lets it be known that this weapon against strikers should be used most sparingly, and then only after hearings have been held, and at which both sides are represented.
 Judge French's ruling was declared by William Short, president of the State Federation of Labor, to be the frs tclear-cut decision by Washing ton judge properly interpreting the state law passed by the 1919 legisla- ture along the lines of the Clayton act.
 "The legislatures act of 1919 gives us the right to do collectively what we have a right to do as individuals Judge French sets this fact forth very clearly" said President Short.

UNUSED COAL LANDS
 ARE TAX ON PUBLIC

Washington, Nov. 24-The prac- tice of many coal companies carrying large reserves of coal lands held for future use adds to cost through taxa tlon and conceals profits, says the r United States coal commission Tn a report on investments and profits in anthracite mining.
 The commission shows that while | these coal lands will not be used for generations and generations, their value IS added to the cost of coal that the present generation must use.
 "The largest of the railroad coal companies-the Philadelphia x Read ing-a high-cost operating company lis overburdened with reserves sufficient to last more than 200 years, says the report.
 "On this total investment 1t has shown an inadequate return, the loss having been made up by. the large earnings of the affiliated railroad.
 Freed from the carrying charge of this excess reserve, 1t could make an adequate return"
 The coal commission declared that if the value in coal lands, both an thracite and bituminous, "is to con tinue indefinitely pi1ing up carrying charges to be added to current prices, an intolerable burden will be laid on the consumer"
 The report recommends that the public be permitted, through proc ess of taxation, to share it the good fortune of the low-cost, 'high-prof1t coal owner. It is stated that sweep ing horizontal cuts can not be made in present mine prices and margins without serious injury to many high needed.
 The commission points out that in .vestments, producing costs and profits vary so widely in this industry that any average figures are misleading. It is impossible, the report states, to strike an average because of the diff ferent conditions under which coal is mined, and the wide curve between the high-cost and the low-cost mines.

American Labor Depends On Itself;
 Workers Statesmanship Is Praised

"The threat of state invasion of indus trial life is real Powerful groups of earnest and sincere persons constantly seek the extension of state suzerainty over purely industrial fields. Such ig- norant encroachments as the Cufnnins- Esch act, the Kansas court of industrial relations and the Colorado industrial commission act, each blundering ges- ture of government acting under the spur of organized propaganda or of political appetite for power, are examples of what all industry has to fear. The con- tint1ing c1a1nor for extension of state regulatory powers, under the guise of reform and deliverance from evil, can but lead into greater confusion and more hopeless entanglements. Trade unionisrn lead the way for true progress even at the cost of being branded as reactionary by those who do but little save profound formulas based upon Utopian thought and devoid of the benefit of experience and of any cognizance four fundamen- tai social structure, our industrial life, or our national characteristics.

St. Louis Beats Back
 Anti-UniOn Attack

i, St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 24.-Panic- stricken anti-union employers in this city view the stinging defeat organ ized labor has administered to them this year. Scores of unions have raised wages and improved working conditions, despite last years claim of these employers that the anti-union shop would be universal by the end of 1923.
 One of the leaders of this attack was the St. Louis Lumber Trades Ex- change, consisting of lumber and building material companies. This crowd professed interest in the reduc- ing of building costs. Recently the state supreme court ordered the ex- change dissolved because it was a conspiracy to raise prices and sti1e competition. Fines as high as SIC, 1000 were assessed against Io members of the exchange.
 At the trial 1t was proved that these union smashers, and not the unions, are responsible for high prices.

Chicago Nov 24.-Writing i'll the Congregationalist, on the recent conven- ton of the A, F. of L. at Portland, Dr. Arthur E. Holt, secretary of the social service department of the Congregation al education society, discusses the ab- sence of the intellectual" in the Ameri- can trade union movement and their large numbers ill the British trade union movement.
 "It is safe to assume" said Dr. Holt, that although American labor will pro- bably invite to its aid the man with spe- cial training in political economy and in law, we will never have an intellectual appendix to the American abor move ment. Those who look for this fail to recognize that the British custom roots in a class movement where education was supposed to belong to special class. This does not mean that American labor will not make use of the best trained men, but it will do this in another way It will employ research bureaus and other experts, and this, on the whole, seems the more self-respecting plan"
 Dr. Holt calls attention to labor's warning of state invasion in the indus trial life of the people. The churchman compares this to the political activity of British trade unionsts, and he4 says that in this comparison American labor does not appear unfavorably."
 "The trend i'll British labor has been overwhelming Ill the direction of gov ernrnent ownership and toward an alli- ance of economics and politics" said Dr. Holt. American labor has set its face against all this and has declared that in dustry should be free from inter ferences on the part of the state. It believes:
