DOHENY SUIT DRAGS

Los ANGELES, CAL, Nov. e.
The governments suit to annul form
er Secretary of the Interior Falls
contract with the Doheny oil COM
panies promises to be a long drawn
out contest. Priceless treasure is the
stake, and the integrity of many busi-
ness men and public officials is in
volved.
The government is attempting to
prove to Federal Judge Mccormick
that the transfer was a conspiracy
devised by Fall and the Doheny in
terests whereby the latter would gain
control of the oil reserves in the Elks
hills, near Bakersfield, this state.
These oil lands were set aside by the
government for use by the navy when
ever an emergency arose. The gov
ernment claims that Mr.. Doheny him
self has stated that the contracts are
worth $100,O00,O00 to him.
While the courts are discussing who
owns the oil, the private interests now
in control are draining the reserves.

MINE WORKERS UNITE:
100 PER CENT UNION
SHENANDOAH. Pa. Nov. 8.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Nov. g.
Every mine worker in this district is
a member of the United Mine Work
ers of America, is the report Presi-
dent Golden made to the biennial con-
vention of district No. 9 held in this
city. The complete unionization of
the district is due from the change
from local unions to colliery unions.
The United Mine Workers claim
jurisdiction over all employees in and
around coal mines, and wherever pos
sible the collier, or mine, union is es-
tablished. In some respects this sys-
tenn is similar to the historic chapel
in union printing offices 1t permits
workers to first attempt to adjust
grievances with the management.
1t is the first time in the history of
district No. 8 that a 100 per cent or
ganization was recorded. There has
been dissension and divisions in some
sections of the district, but harmony
and unity has been established
through the fair and vigorous applica-
tion of the principles of the United
Mine Workers by President Golden
and associate officials.

CARELESS BUSINESS IS
BIG CAUSE OF WASTE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-"One dol
lar in every five produced in the coun-
try is destroyed through wastes in
industry that can be prevented" Ed
win w. Ely, of the division of simpli-
fed practice, department of commerce,
told a group of business men at a
convention in this city.
This waste is an insidious enemy,
and is largely due to lost motion
lost in the production, storage and
handling of hundreds of varieties,
styles or sizes of everyday commodi-
ties for which the demand Is limited to
but q snssh pl,se0rtion, the speaker
said. Each useless motion involved
in the handling of such slow-movinR
goods constitutes an added charge on
those items which are more active.
Mr.. Ely said that the producer of
simplified practice, urged by the de-
partment of commerce, is neither tech
nical nor scientific. 1t is rather the
application of common sense measures
to sets of conditions business men are
unaware of until their attention is
called to same.
One of the results of simplifed
practice is the discovery that in most
analyses Of industry 80 per cent of
the demand is found to cover but 10
per cent of the items in an industry.
with such figures before con-
ference representative of an industry"
Mr.. Ely said, "the action generally
taken is the obvious, common-sense
one-the elimination of most of the
other 80 per cent of items"
The speaker emphasized that his
division has no police powers or regu-
latory authority in any form. It's
function is to point out wastes.

building trade contractors of that city
acting under the supervision of the
chief authorities.
This agreement was found on q
block Of bluislsmarble. lying in a field
within the area occupied by the city
of Sardis in Roman days. The sub
stance Of the agreement gives evi-
sdence of the thorough organisation
which existed in the building trades at
the time it was entered into, and
furthermore indicates that agreements
in the building trades had been in
existence for many years.
This particular agreement was con-
sidered of such Importance that it was
carved upon marble, and erected in
public place so that every one could
read it. The first paragraph of the
agreement is of particular interest,
because the union agrees to complete
all pieces of work given to its men,
bers by any of the building trade
contractors, provided that the con-
tractor was prompt in paying the
wages which had been mutually
agreed upon. Mr.. Buckler's trans
lation of this agreement is as fol-

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
AGAINST FALLING STRIKERS

HUTCHINSON, Kans., Nov. g.
One of the most important decla-
rations of the campaign has just
been made by William Allen White,
candidate for governor. White has
recorded his opinion of the Kansas
court of industrial relations, which is
important regardless of the campaign.
In the following statement, given
by Mr.. White in writing to the sec
retary of the Central Labor Union
here, the Wichita editor declared for
the adoption Of the court, giving his
position as follows:
"The United States Supreme Court
has pulled the upper teeth of the In
dustrial Court law by making it i'm
possible to punish capital for disobey-
ing the law. When I am governor,
therefore, / shall pull the lower teeth.
mo man shall go to Jail for strik-
ing or calling a strike. More than
that shall ask the legislature to re-
peal or re-write the law so that it
may treat both sides alike and / shall
favor disseminating the present court.
/ shall not keep it alive by appoint
ing the judges.
Il shall keep or name only one man
to conduct the burden Of labor and the
welfare work. But l shall urge
the Supreme Court to meet in en-
emergency courts of conciliation,, APP
pointed not by the governor, bat by
ergencies to try through publicity
and reason to bring industrial dis
putants together"
