California is
Again Normal
In Oil Fields
Production Now About $50,
600 Barrels Daily; Drill in
Small Fields.

Boston, April ~. In the last
eight months the reversal of the
California oil situation has been
most emphatic, according to w
+. Hammond, president Of Ven
tbra Consolidated Oil Fields and
various mining companies on the
coast. He says the wild orgy of
land and o il speculation that
swept the golden state a year
ago has subsidized; virtually nor
NAL conditions now obtain in the
oil industry.
He says: II do not believe the
east has appreciated fully the
change that has taken place in
the oil situation in California.
You here have read lurid tales
and with much truth in them -
of the wild speculation in oil and
the upsetting Of values due to the
flood of oil that came from the
California pools last year. That
flood has subsided.
Production in California has
settled down to 650,000 barrels
daily, compared with nearly 900.-
900 barrels at the height Of the
flood. There is virtually short
age of oil on the coast TODAY. Ac-
cording to well based estimates
there are 30,0O0,000 barrels of
unoccupied storage in California.
There is no surplus oil to fill this
space. Some of those small pro-
Gucers and independent com
panies who made contracts at the
height Of the oil flood, to insure a
sale outlet for their oil, are pay
ing a premium over present posf
ed prices to live up to their con-
tracts.
"California's consumption Of
oil and oil products has doubled
in the last two years. 1t will show
further net gain this year.
There has been a steady apprecia-
tion in the price since last fall;
whereas in the summer Of 1928,
tankers were carrying a large
amount Of oil from California to
the east, they are now taking
much less.
Signal Hill, Huntington Beach
and Santa Fe Springs have settl-
ed down to q normal condition of
drilling and operation. Never be-
fore has the industry known
three major pools to come in ini
one basin at the same time. They
have passed their zenith, and |
look for their production steadily
to recede.
I'm the newer fields of Tor
rance and Compton there is a
good deal Of drilling. These fields
will not develop into very great
pools. There is oil there but in
no sense are they to be classed |
or feared as Signal Hill and Santa
Fe Springs.
$50 far as Ventura is concern
ed, there is nothing new to re-
port. Ventura today is really q |
manufacturing plant. Production |
keeps around 4, 800 barrels daily;
we are refining all this and sell
ing all our refinery products. We
are producing $4,000 gallons of
gasoline daily; W. could sell
double that amount, but we are
not expanding our distribution
facilities just now. That can
come later.
Gasoline is today 19 cents at
t h distributing stations n
California, including
two cents gallon for state
good-road tax. Last fall the price
hit a low level og Is cents to con-
so you can see what this
improvement means to the oil
companies. I"

Abolish Labor Board
 Rail Chiefs Aim
Would Repeal Section of Esch-Cum- rnins Law and Create Separate
 Statute

Cleveland March SD. B. Robert son, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen, announced that the three Cleveland brotherhood chiefs are backing bill to be introduced concurrent1y in the Senate and House, entitled, "The Rail way Labor Act" repeating Title 3, of the Esch-Cummins law, creating sep arate railway labor act and abolishing the United States Railroad Labor Board.
 The proposed act embodies the best features of the previous laws that helped to preserve peace in the trans portation industry, MT. Robertson said. The keynote of the bill is the obligation to negotiate agreements and to abide by such voluntary contracts.
 The 1oco1 brotherhood chiefs backing the bill are Warren Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers; w. c. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and MT. Robertson.

Says Labor Only Can
 Run Papers Right
Editor of Engineers Journal Has Ideal
 for the Press

Albert F. Coyle, speaker before the Ford Hall Forum at Springfield, de- clared that organized labor is the only group in America capable of running a chain of newspapers with the proper democratic control to make them truth full and earless.
 Mr. Coyle is from Cleveland and is the editor of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers Journal. The ideals of labor organizations, he said, are un- selfish, these ideals including world peace and human brotherhood. Labor, has the financial liability to undertake the task, it being necessary, he estimated to have at least $1O,OOO, 600 in order to start really effective newspaper in a city of metropolitan size. As for the moral ability of labor to keep public press out of selfish and factiona1 strife, he said that it can do it If the press is comparatively owned. He considered 1t wonderful, the way that shopmen and ditch-diggers write to their newspapers.
 He accused the press ill general of be- ing cowardly and uninte1ligent1y edited. "The English used Ill the public press is not Kings English If the Amer can people ever become illiterate it Is because they read the newspapers solely.

By The Way.

American labor's position in the na ton is thrown into high relief by the statement that 75 per cent of the houses built in Chicago last year are owned by ''overall' workers.
 The statement was made by John M. Glenn, secretary of the Illinois Manu- lecturers Association, who said:
 There were 1852 built in Chicago in 1923. Of these 5,8So, all costing under .$10O00 are owned by working people, families in which the heads of the houses wear overalls and work in fac tories and other industrial plants
 MT. Glenn, being associated with an organization which is ont friendly to organized labor, didn't say that large proportion of the "overalr' workers who have built homes are union mem bers, but such doubtless IS the case In every community union men form large percentage of home owners. Organized labor. by increasing and keeping up wages not only for its own members but for the unorganized as well, has done much much to promote home-own- ing in the United States.
 While MT. Glenn, as quoted in the daily papers, did not give credit to or ganized labor for the fact that work men are able to buy homes i'll Chicago, he said something about working people that was in refreshing contrast to the foolish sentiments often expressed by anti-labor men, To frequently, the en- emies of labor are wont to refer to the workers as ''thriftless,' ":improvident' and denounce them as "Bolshevists" and Reds for seeking better conditions. MT. Glenn evidently has little sympathy With this view, as he declares: (
 When we know that the average working man has foresight enough to be thrifty and save in order to pur- chase his home, we need have no fear for civic and social attitude
 A record to be proud of has been made i'll constructing huge tunnel which Is to carry the water supply of

record is all the more creditable and re- markable in view of the fact that the Wellington tunnel is a difficult piece of work, penetrating two miles of rock through range of hills 2,5OO feet high.
 American victims of profteering land lords will waste no sympathy on Italian landlords and building contractors who were recently sharply rebuked by Pr mier Mossulini. The landlords and contractors sent telegram to Mussolini complaining of new decree curbing rent-raising. In replying. Mussolini said:
 "The landlords have shown them
 selves incapable of profting by my
 previous decree because they used
 1t as a chance to increase rents ex-
 orbtantly and anti-socially They
 must realize that liberty has not only
 its rights but also its duties"
 Mussolini Is not regarded with favor by great numbers of the workers but in this particular instance he seems to have taken his stand squarely on the side of the masses.

JUNIOR HIGH
ISCHANGEDT0
WILL SCHOOL
All Seventh and Eighth Grade
Work to be Concentrated
In One Building
SCHOOL BOARD ACTS
Explanation of Action of the
Board in Making the
Change Is Given
SCHOOL BOARD ACTS

The city school board, meeting this
morning. decided upon important
changes in the seventh and eighth
grades of the city schools.
All of the Junior High, or seventh
and eighth grade work, will be con-
centrated in the Will school, it was
decided. This will entail removal Of
the Junior High from the William
Moore school and the discontinuance
of the Seventh and Eighth grades at
the Richholt school.
The change is expected to be made
within the next thirty days.
A. p. Lenhart, president of the
board, explaining the boards action,
said that there was a strong demand
from the West Side for Seventh and
Eighth grades at the Roosevelt
school. There also had come a de-
mand from the South Side for SINH
lar grades at the Wachter school, he
said. The board decided that rather
than have Seventh and Eighth grades
Scattered around, he said, it would
concentrate them in the Will school,
picked as the most central location.
Under the plan, the First, Second
and Third grades will be continued
at the Will school, while pupils in
the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth grades
will be assigned to classes in other
buildings. The William Moore school
will have the first six grades, as
will the Roosevelt, Richholt and
Wachter schools, he said.
Tho board had received no report
of an investigation of the William
Moore school by Fire Marshal Henry
Readc, it was said.

to the high school as teacher be-
cause of the heavy enrolment, and
