Textile BAROl,,,
SEEK TO BREAK
PASSAIC STRIKE
WeisbOrdps Arrest First
MOUe of Bosses
ESPECIAL to The Daily Worker,


PAssAIc, N. j., April, 12.--The ar
rest of Albert Weisbord, leader Of the
textile strikers, at the orders Of the
textile bosses following a parade Of
strike children is an attempt to break
the strike Of the Passaic textile work
ers. The arrest was made at this time
as the textile barons are now showing
samples to their prospective pur-
chasers and the filling of orders de-
ponds on the ability of the bosses to
break the strike and get the workers
back into the shops. The bosses think
that by the falling of Weisbord they
will accomplish this.
The strikers are more determined
than they ever were to win the strike
and force the bosses to pay better
wages. shorter the hours and recognize
the workers union.
Raid Strike Headquarters.
Immediately after the arrest of
Weisbord the police made raid on
the Offices of the United Front Com
mittee and began a search. The
property of the committee was re-
moved and the officials evicted.
Hinder Strike Relief.
The police then went to the strikers
relief headquarters. Here they tried
to seize, all the money and records
and to search the place from top to
bottom. Strenuous objections were
made by those in charge of the relief
headquarters to this illegal search and
they refused to allow the police to
search the premises until warrant
was produced A warrant was later
produced and the search began. After
a three-hour search the police took a
few letters received from organiza-
tons remitting money for relief At
the office of the United Front Com
mittee the police seized the member
ship files and all of the books.
Refuse to Release Weisbord.
Weisbord is held in Jail. Bail is
refused him. No one is allowed to see
him. The police officers refuse to
divulge the real charges placed
against him. 1t is plain attempt on
the part of the textile barons and their
police lackeys to prosecute the
strikers and their leaders and try to
break the strike.
Seize Committee Records.
Tho the records of the United Front
CO; mittee were seized and attempts
are being continually &made by the
Passaic police to hinder the relief
work, the strikers are determined to
carry on their strike to a successful
conclusion. The strikers refuse to al
low the bosses to terrorize them into
submission.
Is Green Behind Legion?
Rumors are current in Passaic that
President Green of the American
Federation Of Labor, who refuses to
take steps to organize the 10000 Pas
sale textile workers into the American
Federation of Labor, has donated 500
TO the strikebreaking American Lee
gion relief kitchen. Before any OF the
strikers can receive relief from the
American Legion relief kitchen they
must promise they will not go on the
picket line and that they will deal as

Senators and Representatives, which
declared that unless immediate steps

This line was to have been taken

merger been approved. but since it
failed to receive the commissions in
dorsement it was suggested that an
informal hearing be held between the
ma jority and minority stockholders
representatives in an endeavor to

June 20, will be called upon to decide
the blunt question as to whether the
enormously rich properties of its for

Many shrewd Observers believe that
the impending referendum on this

one of the first magnitude and fraught
with grave possibilities affecting the
stability of the republic.
There is hardly Il historic precedent

which went 40 feet into the derrick.
1t settled down and was placed on

of this territory under lease.
A drilling campaign to develop the
Southton shallow field, about two
miles from San Antonio's city limits
in Bexar county was started early
this year and now this field is pro-
ducing around $50 barrels of crude a
day. The Ina oil field, Medina coun-
ty, is also receiving a development
campaign. Several wells are being
drilled in the wildcat territory around
the pool and tests are being drilled
in the proven area.
Gas fields all over the territory are
also receiving a great drilling cam
paign. Miranda. Gas Ridge, Gala
han and other fields of this territory
are having at least 20 rigs running
all the time. From one to five gas
wells are brought in every week max
ing as high as 15O,0OO,0OO cubic feet
of gas daily.
Following the completion of a gas
pipe line from the Callahan field to
San Antonio, the Southern Natural
Gas company made a deal in the Mi

wells in the field were drilled to this
depth. Producers making as high as
$500 barrels day were completed.
The fields production peak was slight
ly above 10000 barrels, which was
reached several months after the field
was opened.
Following the discovery of the Lock
hart field, operators began TO believe
that the Luling and Lockhart fields,
several miles apart, were connected.
A great validating campaign began.
Many wells found good oil sbowings,
but none found oil in paying quaint
ties, except the No. 1 Callahan of

Another pool was the Randado Val
ley pool in Jim Hogg county. which
was discovered on the Pippin lease in
the fall of 1925. The Magnolia Pc
troleum company drilled test to 1910
feet where it produced 25 barrels of
high gravity oil a day. Other wells
were drilled and production from this
depth amounted to around 100 bar
rels a day flush from each well. At
present there are several wells drill
ing in the vicinity of the new pool.
The Henne, Winch and Farriss No.
2 pool, approximately a mile from the
first pool and in Jim Hogg county,
was brought in by the Hennc, Winch

POURING
MILLIONS INTO /
THIS CITY 1
South Texas Production
Gets Big Boost by
New Cushers.

Discovering six new oil pools dur
ing 1925, the San Antonio oil district
has closed one of its most successful
years in history. These pools are
bringing millions of dollars to South
Texas and the Alamo City.
The greatest find of the year was
made by the Humble Oil and Rein
ing Company the early part Of De-
cember. The company's No. 4 Walsh,
the fourth Of series of wildcat deep
tests, being drilled in Duvai county
came in for initial production of 1900
barrels of oil a day through 3-S-inch
choker and probably will make as
high as 5000 barrels a day as soon as
it is opened. The company is having
storage erected ana will let the well
flow. at full capacity shortly.
The new gusher is producing 80
gravity oil from 1916 feet.
"BIG STRIKE
The well is located on the side OF
the Piedras Pintas salt dome in the
Piedras Pintas shallow oil field, which
has been producing a small quantity
of oil on pump for several years. The
strike of gusher oil at a lower depth
will cause operators to drill deep
tests to the big production. The cost
of drilling well to the deep pay on
the salt dome is around $4,000 and
IL a drilling rush is started, it will
mean millions of dollars more for
South Texas workmen. The royalties
and lease rents will also make the
people Of that territory rich.
1t is probable that the flush pro-
duction of the new field will 60 as
high as 100000 barrels o day like the
other big fields Of Texas and the Mid
Continent.
The second big strike of the year
was in Caldwell county, about five
miles from Lockhart. The No.
Brewer Of Lefevere and Storey, a
wildcat test, was brought in at around
1850 feet for 100 barrels initial pro-
duction on February %. The produc-
tion in this well was found in the
Taylor mari formation.
LEASING ACTIVITY
A great leasing campaign followed
and within few weeks derricks were
springing up in the territory. Pro-
duction began to mount and more
wells were drilled. Finally test was
sunk deeper and at around 1900 feet
the Serpentine formation was picked
up. This formation carried more oil

rando district, whereby it will buy a
large part Of the gas produced. A
new pipe line is being completed from
the Callahan field to the Laredo dis
trict and within a few weeks gas
from that territory will be supplying
San Antonio. With this supply San
Antonio should never have gas
shortage.
The Houston Oil company, under
the name of the Houston Pipe Line
company, is constructing n pipe line
from the Miranda fields to Houston.
Ship Channel and Galveston and will
supply those cities with natural gas
for commercial and domestic purposes.
This pipe line will consume a large
part of the gas produced in the La
redo district and will make a market
for a product that has heretofore
been unmarketable.,
When these pipe lines are tapped
at the smaller towns along their right
of-ways and others built. the Laredo,
McMullen and Refugio gas districts
will find great market for their pro-
duction.
At present there arc deep tests be-
Ing drilled in nearly every field of
South Texas.
