FIGHTING SPIRIT
Necessary to Attain Victory
Declares Bakers Head

Chicago.-"Mor vigor and energy
greater discipline and a greater fight
ing spirit among all members are the
most essential requirmeents of our
international union," says Editor
Hohmann, of the Bakers Journal.
This trade union is confronted by
aggregations of capital that threaten
the complete justification of the bak-
ing industry, and the labor editor re-
minds fellow unionists that intelli-
gence, organization and determine
tion are necessary to meet changed
conditions.
"There is such thing what we call
esprit de corps or in our political
life, party spirit which seems to be
indispensable to the trade union move
ment, and where it should find ex-
preston in greater, powerful, eff
cient, vivid and forceful manner.
"As Il rule, every one who takes our
cause seriously, should devote his at
tention at all times undoubtedly to the
movement as whole. We must keep
in mind that in our trade union activ-
tiles we are not engaged in temper
airy battles.
Philosophical deliberations and
hesitation are things that should not
be permitted to play part in oul
economic struggles, if the workers are
to be protected from being submerg
ed by economic oppression"

come tax law, favored by President
Coolidge, will meet strong opposition
in congress. The publication of these
payments does not include incomes
from tax exempt bonds, and other ex-
emptions.
Western senators, led by Senator
Walsh, of Montana, oppose publicity
repeal. This opposition, it is declar-
ed, is strong enough at this session
to make repeal impossible
"The opportunity to profit illegally
in the administration of the income
tax law is staggering at the best,
said Senator Walsh. Even with the
widest publicity, graft could not be
altogether eliminated
There is nothing new or startling
in the principle of tax publicity. 1t is
an essential part of the system ot
property taxation long in vogue in this
country, perhaps universally pursued
by the states and dating from the be.
ginning of organized government, that
every individual, natural or corporate
is required by law to schedule his
property for assessment"
The opponents of repeal insist that
the law should be strengthened. They
point to the small tax paid by certain
persons who are popularity believed to
receive large incomes, and it is sug-
gested that wider publicity would re-
veal how income tax payments are
being evaded

WOULD STARVE
Miners Into Taking Wage
Cut

BY International Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind. - Freezing and
starving the miners employed by the
Bethlehem mines corporation of Bar
racksville, w. Va, is the plan appar-
emily now in force to compel the men
to accept reduction in wages, ac-
cording to advices received here by the
United Mine Workers.
After signing a contract with the
United Mine Workers, the Bethlehem
Company worked short period under
it and then closed down the workings
A few months later notice was post
ed to the effect that the mines would
resume work on the open shop plan
and at the 1917 wage scale. After
beating the bushes for scab workmen
a few reported. The concern built
gates at all the roads leading to the
camp and prhoibited the locked out
union men from leaving the camp or
allowing any one to enter, even rela-
workmen were enclosed in a barri-
cade guarded by 40 armed guards.
Meanwhile the union miners are
sticking. The company refuses to sell
them coal or permit any to be brought
in from the outside. They lack cloth
ing and many of the ordinary things
of life, but they declare they intend to
stick until the finish, freeze or starve
The international Union is giving
what assistance it can and such as it
permitted by injunctions and court
ruligns.

Fayette Harrington, well known
pioneer of Montana, who died at
his home in Missoula short time
ago. Mr.. Harrington was born in
Quincy, Illinois, in 1843, and came
to Montana with an emigrant train
in 1864, arriving at Virginia City
in the fall of that year. He mined
in the gold diggings for a few
years, then went into the cattle
business, and helped to organize
the Virginia City banking house
of Hall, Harrington & company,
which later became the Madison
state bank. He is said to have
made his first substantial start in
life in Virginia City by engineering
a corner on matches, out of which
he realized a considerable sum.
AS a member of the lower house he
represented Madison county in the
first state legislative session.
MFR. Harrington moved to Butte
in 1890, where he helped to or
ganize the Silver Bow National
bank, of which he became cashier,
and with which he was connected
for a number of years. He was
married in 1860 to Miss Helen Nj.
Bower, a pioneer of Alder gulch.
Glen b. Harrington, a Portland
broker, is his son.

SHOWING OF OIL DIM WE'LL NEAR CONRAD

35-foot sand, completely saturat-
N ed with oil of high lubricant
A n content, has been developed at
1865 feet, said to be about 600 feet
from the top of the Madison (Missis-
sippian) limestone, in the Dry Forks
we'll north of Conrad.
Inspired to drill deeper by the ia
vorable report of doodle bug
geologist, the financers of this well
have developed the most important
revelation, according to leading geol-
ogists and operators, since the discov-
cry of oil in low-dip structures in
Montana.
Although the Dry Forks we'll is not
an oil well as it stands, there is now
some 70 feet of fluid in the hole,
seeming in at the rate of perhaps
three or four barrels a day. The
showing is such that many say that
it will make a 10 to 25-barrel we'll
by shooting. However, it will be
drilled on down through the lime,
into the Devonian, before nitro
glycerine is used.
Every new oil field has its stor-
les of hardships by those who pi-
oneered the way. To Tom w. Rob-
inson of Conrad and Great Falls
go the honors attendant to the start
ling revelations of the past week at
the Dry Forks we'll, near Conrad,
Pondera county. Mr.. Robinson is
owner of the land on which the
well is being drilled and it is through
his faith and perseverance that there
is today favorable showing of oil
and the drill still working.
This we'll was started in 1914 by
John Mcbride, Clair Mcdonald, Jas.
Hughes, Frank Hughes, Eugene
Rogers and ]. H. Hamilton of Great
Falls. They drilled intermittently
for three years. They lost their first

jobs. They abandoned the first hole
and moved over to new location
and drilled $50 feet, then running
out of money. The first company
was known as the Conrad Oil e Gas
company, headed by Hamilton, Chris
man and Cotette, the last of Spokane.
After the failure of the first COM
pany, John Mcbride organized the
Conrad Exploration company and
drilled to 2010 feet when the war
forced suspension. w. B. Foster took
the we'll over, paid off the debts and
after spending some $1,000 was
without sufficient funds to drill.
Brug Brothers of Lewistown did
some drilling, developing the flow of
sulphur water. That was in the
fall of 1922.
James Hughes, owner of the farm,
died and the place was sold by the
administrator. Mr.. Robinson, then
a practicing attorney, bought it and
moved on to the place, trying to
make a living at ranching, at the
same time working for the compile.

clares:
