NEW OIL TOWN EXPECTS BIG
 BUOM WIThlN SHUnl IIME

Residents of kanatak look for a gigantic oil stamped as soon as the Standard rig taps the vast reservoirs supposed to be underlying all the surrounding region. And that there is foundation for their belief is shown by the rig now being in the oil sands, the penetration or the oil stream being the matter of but a short time Those Of us who have witnessed a gold stampede know what will happen when the news of the strike is radioed out to the world. Hundreds upon hundreds of eager investors will flock to the new field and these will be the usual camp followers anxious for a sure thing, who will make city out of 8 camp.
 In case oil is tapped in any con- siderable quantity at the Standard wells, one of the first acts of the company will be to construct pipe lines to salt water and erect vast storage tanks to hold the precious fluid. In case a safe harbor cannot
 be had at kanatak, and there is no reason why one cannot be made by the construction of a seawall, the shipping point will probably be Wide Bay. This is a small harbor to the westward, nearly landlocked at the upper end, and with depth ot water sufficient for all draft yessels.-Seward Gateway.

JOhnStOn's S Policy

AS a substitute for the reso-
luton endorsing the principle
of AmaIgamation passed at the
last convention of the Interna-
tionaI Association of Machin-
lists in Rochester, William john
ston is doing his best to ruin
unionism altogether by his
class collaboration plan of aid
ing the bosses thru the "B. and
o. PLAN"
This scheme of Johnston's is
nothing more nor less than a
promise made to the bosses by
the union that the union men
will turn out more work than
the non-union men. 1t is plac-
ing the union machinists in the
position of doing, not only their
former work, but of going out
and securing trade for their
bosses. Johnston's wonderful
scheme makes the union an
auxiliary department used by
the boss to increase production.
The International Committee for
the Amalgamation of the Metal Trades
Industries, in a statement given out
by the chairman, Andrew Overgaard,
declares that the only solution to the
problems facing the machinists at
their coming national convention in
Detroit, Sept. Is, is the adoption OF
the entire Left Wing program, includ'
ing amalgamation.

TRY TO SCUTTLE
MONTANA FL. P.
c. P. P. A. Endorses
Old Partyites
Especial to the Daily worker.)


GREAT FALLS, Mont, July "a
Twelve individuals calling themselves
the Montana Conference for Progress
sive Political Action met in Helena on
Sunday, and endorsed the LaFollette.
Wheeler candidacy on an "indepen-
dent progressive ticket"
Although outstanding progressives
like Anderson, Taylor, and Edwards
are candidates on the Farmer-Labor
ticket, they were ignored along with
the entire FL. P. ticket, and reaction
aries on both old party tickets were
endorsed.
Some Of the candidates endorsed
have the blackest kind of labor re
cords. Major Foote, endorsed for At,
torney General, was one of the most
notorious captains of militia sent to
Butte to suppress the miners in 1914
and to overthrow the workers mayor
at the behest of the Anaconda Copper
Co.
State Auditor Porter, endorsed for
his present position by this bunch of
'progressiyes" calling themselves the
C. P. P. A., is a well-known lackey of
Anaconda Copper at the State House
Senator Harmon, another endorsee
voted against a minimum-hour work
day for women and against the pro.
hibition of child labor in Montana.
Senator Walsh, one of the old-guard
in the Democratic Party, chairman of
the Democratic convention and sup.
porter of the Morgan lawyer for the
presidency was also endorsed. Dewey
Dorman, organizer of this hand-picked
progressive" conference of IL men,
has been campaigning the State for
some time in the interest of Walsh,
supposedly at the direction Of Wheeler
1t is anticipated that if an indepen-
dent LaFollette-W Wheeler ticket is put
in the field against the Farmer-Labor
Party, that LaFollette will not carry
the State of Montana.
Resentment against the c. p. P. A.
endorsements is spreading in railroad
union ranks, and thruout the State. II
is pointed out that what the Commun.
lists declared at st. Paul, namely, that
LaFollette would destroy the State
Farmer-Labor Parties If allowed to
run without party control, is being
brought to pass.

pany spread further today when the
roofers Joined the striking heaters,

The strikers approved the demands
formulated by the strike committee
which will be presented to the COM
pany officials today. The demands ap-
proved at yesterdays strike meeting
at Ginalski's Hall, are 45 cents per
car for the riveters and buckers. The
strikers originally walked out be-
cause Of a fifty per cent decrease in
wages. Their strike has been so ef-
fective however, that they are now
demanding a higher rate than form
erly received. Production In tho
plant is completely tied up.
The heaters demand SO per cent Of
the riveters' wage rate and the filters
and reamers demand 92 per cent Of
the riveters' wage.

dependent upon an imported
labor supply. From now on
America can produce its own
working class properly edu-
Gated to accept the dictatorship
of big business.
The first attempt at restriction
established 357,S03 as the limit exclus-
i've of immigration from Canada and
Mexico which are treated as portions
of the domain of United States capi-
tai. This appeared a very consider
able reduction compared with yearly
average immigration of 1,134,961 dur
ing the years 1908 to 1914 inclusive.
But it produced a net immigration of
more than $4,000 during the year just
ended. Altogether in 1923 population
grew at an unprecedented rate. In
fact the average annual growth from
1920 to 1924 was 1,77S,750 compared
with 1,41S,100 a year during the pre-
ceding decade and 1,745,00O a year in
the years preceding the war.
The new law effective July 1, 1924
marks the next attempt and reduces
the annual quotas to total of 172,32a
exclusive of Canada and Mexico which
if they send as many as last year may
very easily raise the number of immi
grants to 425,000.
The change in the balance of immi
grafton from south and east Europe to
north and west Europe, the most dis
cussed feature of the new policy, is
shown in the following table which
shows immigration in 1913 compared
with the quotas for last year and the

DOCn are IuncClOnlnS up 10 InS'
hilt as representatives of the
powerful American govern
ment which is backing the
Dawes program.
Hughes Working on Herriot
Hughes is putting his energies into
swinging Premier Herriot of France
away from the French stand for separ-
ate action against Germany. In a long
talk with Herriot, Hughes declared
that the American government would
regard French stubborness as an un-
friendly act. The American govern
ment, Hughes showed, stands behind
the bankers ultimatum that no action
may be taken against Germany which
does not have the permission Of the
proposed committee of FIVE, to be Sc
lected from the committee of Dawes
plan experts.
Macdonald was also closeted with
Hughes but Mellon has been handling
more of the negotiations with the
British premier.
Getting Orders At Breakfast
Part of the duties of Ramsay Mac
Donald, nominal head of the British
government, consist of breakfasting
with American multimillionaires and
getting his instructions for the inter-
allied conference where the bankers
are attempting to internationalize
western capitalism.
After a long breakfast at 10 Down
ing street with Andrew Mellon, direct
or of more than 20 big American banks
and corporations, and appropriately
secretary of the treasury in Coolidge's
cabinet, Macdonald showed no abate-
ment of his position that the bankers
program must be carried thru.
Belgium Veering to Bankers
Premier Theunis Of Belgium has
shown a conciliatory attitude towards
the bankers proposals. American re-
presentatives are doing effective work
with him and the other delegates from
his nation. 1t is believed, that with
Frances ally veering over to the f.
nanciers' policy that the winning of the
French themselves will be made prob
able.
The French premier is personally
desirious of effecting an agreement
with the bankers: his concern is
about his own political security. His
opponent Raymond Poincare has taken
a stronger hold on the French senate
in consequence Of the move Herriot
has already made towards the Anglo
Yankee entente.
That Weak Franc
The premier's seat is shaky. But,
he is understood to feel, his political
position will be even worse If he turns
down the international bankers and
they take reprisals against the credit
Of France. A falling franc would be
more disastrous to the premier than
an abandonment of Ruhr occupation.
The rich peasants and small traders
who helped to put Herriot into office
care more about the validity OF the
franc than about the banks of the
Rhine.
