TEXAS MERGER
IN OIL IN WYOMING

Advices from Houston, Texas, re-
the merging of the Cranfills Il Rey-
nolds, Inc, the Central Texas Re
filming Co., and Cody Petroleum Co
all controlled by the Moody-Sea-
greaves interests. In the public an
nouncement by W. l.. Moody, of the
Moody corporation, it was
stated that plans for immediate cree
ton of gasoline extraction plant
near Cody, Wyo., were contemplated
in the new organization. The Cody
plant will have daily handling ca
paeity of 25,000,000 c. #. of gas.
1T is not explained in the Houston
communication where the gas is to be
secured. The Cody Petroleum Co., has
a part of this gas already developed
in its wells in the Oregon Basin field.
The company is also drilling tests on
wildcat structures in northern Wy
oming, and may probably drill on one
or two structures in southern Mon
tana. The gasoline plant will be To-
Gated on company property near
Cody.
A. H. Reynolds of Houston was in
Casper and Cody last week and held
several conferences with operators In
the Oregon Basin and especially with
the Ohio Oil Co. He is also known to
have visited the offices of the mineral
leasing division of the U. S. Geolog-
ical Survey in Casper Just what
agreement was reached for the pur-
chase of Oregon Basin gas has not
been made public. There are num-
ber of other structures near Cody,
already proved for gas, which, it is
believed, would be available for the
Cody natural gasoline plant.
The Moody-Seagraves interests con-
troll the United Gas Co., Delaware
corporation, with an authorized capi-
tai of 100000 shares of no par value,
81 cumulative dividend, and 100000
shares of common stock with no par
value. The company has no funded
debt 1t controls the Houston Gulf
Gas Co., Dixie Gulf Gas Co., Dixie
Gas & Utilities Co., and the South
Texas Gas Co. It's consolidated gross
earnings from all sources in 1928 to-
tailed e10,200, ,453.77. Mark A. Hardie,
Sr., formerly superintendent of the
gas department of the Producers &
Refiners Corporation, has an impor-
tant executive position with the vari-
Gus companies. George Blairdone,
formerly representative of Oil & Gas
Journal in Tampico, is director Of the
publicity for the various companies.
Besides the new gasoline plant I'M
der consideration at Cody, it is be-
lieved, the company has very am
bilious program for natural gas de-
in the Rocky Mountain re-
gion. 1t is thought probable that one |
of its enterprises under consideration /
is the laying of line from northern
Wyoming to the smelters Of Anacon-
da Copper Co. at Butte, via Helena.
The same, of course, depends upon |
securing a sufficient supply of gas by
number of new structures
in northern Wyoming and southern |

The subject of the Red Lodge to
Dry Creek Oil Field occupied the
attention of the members during the
evening.
The members resolved to urge the
business men of Red Lodge to park
their cars on side streets during bust
ness hours, owing to tourist travel
in the city, seeking parking space
along Broadway. The members also

on street blocks, and the installation
of stop signs on side streets adjoining
main street; also prohibiting U turns
on Broadway.

Arrangements are fast taking form
for the Carbon County Agricultural
fair to be held in Fromberg Saturday
August 31st.
A catalogue Offering cash premiums
on all grain, grasses, root crops and

that the best that is grown in the
county will be exhibited, for it is
planned to take the prize winning
materials from here and make up Car

fairs and seed shows.
Since this is to be a county wide
fair and an effort to gather the best
in everything that is produced with
In its boundaries, Carbon farmers are

TALK PEACE, BUT
BUILD WAR CRAFT
Mcdonald, Dawes Chat
While Race RACES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. - The
United States advanced another
stage in the armament race when
Acting Secretary of the Navy jain
exc today approved the scrapping of
six old navy cruisers and simulta-
neously signed a contract for con-
struction of a new 10000 ton cruis-
er, to be built by the New York
Ship Building Co. of Camden, n. J.
Virtually at the same time as the
new cruiser was authorized, LA
Dor Premier Macdonald acknowl-
edged receipt of a Washington ar
maments message which he dis
cussed with Ambassador Dawes. He
characterized the discussion as mark
ing a distinct advance in our con-
versations."
Meanwhile, MacDonald's govern
ment proceeds to push its campaign
for newer type submarines. On dip
lomatic Humanitarian" pleas, it
charged that old craft should be
scrapped when their shortcomings
were received by the LIZ disaster
in which % sailors were drowned.
1t was a good gag. Now it can go
ahead building more and better sub
marines for the coming imperialist
war.

Need Fighters,

"We do not need mass demonstra-
tions at the funerals of these Gas
tonia workers. We need mass dem
onstrations now, to free these work
ers," Amy Schechter repeated time
and again in her addresses across
the nation.
Some of the outstanding state
ments in her speeches follow:
Since ! have been here lin the
North saw there were two
great dangers which may send
our workers to the electric chair.
One is an illusion that because
there has been a change of venue
that the defendants will go free.
This is very dangerous illu-
sion. This change of venue was
forced by the mass pressure of
the workers. But if the workers
give up and rest on their laurels,
the bosses have won. The next
two weeks will determine the
fight. The workers must throw
themselves into the defense CAM
paign of the Gastonia Joint De-
Tense and Relief Committee, Au-
gust "a to September 2. They
must show the workers in every
shop and factory the truth of the
case. They must force the Jail

a fatalistic attitude. They as

electric chair. We will have a
splendid funeral and we will have
a splendid demonstration. We

Oney5 in Jail. We need fighters,
today, not martyrs. We do not
need mass demonstrations at the
funerals of these GastOnia work
ers. We need mass demonstra-
tiOns now, to free these workers.
And comrades, we do not need
splendid corpses for the revolu-
tionary movement today. We
need these workers and comrades
alive and free to carry on the
fight and organize the South"

The Southern Textile Worker

The Textile workers here are re-
cruited from the Mountaineers and
Farmers. They still have many in
dividualistic traits of the old Amer
lean Pioneer, but with it goes a lot
of militancy and courage. The work
in the factories, the terrific stretch
out, as the speed up system is called
here, the life in the mill village are
breaking down the individualism of
these workers, however, their mill
fancy remains. These workers are
beginning to take their place in the
labor movement. Their first en-
counter with the bosses, as a section
of the N. T. w. U. was a credit to
them and to the whole labor move
ment.
The illusion of American Democ-
racy" and respect for the Claw" that
is so strong amongst the Auglo-
Saxons is being broken down. They
are learning whose laws and whose
democracy reigns in the South,
Even the race prejudice and arti-
ficially fostered contempt for the
Negro masses is being broken down,
on the one hand by their being
thrown together in the mills as we'll
as by the propaganda of the N. T.
W. U. and the Communist Party. A
good example of this is the method
in which Che Gastonia workers saved
Otto Hal the night of June 7, when
the enraged mob of thugs was look
ing for him to lynch him. Of course
that does not mean that this preju-
dice has been overcome, but the be-
ginning was made. There is tend
ency to overestimate the race preju-
dice amongst the workers in time of
struggle.
The Mill Village.
The mill village owned by the
company is characteristic of the
South. In no other section of the
country is the mill village possible.
1t is a product of the remnants of
the attitude of the old slave owner,
who owned the body and soul of the
chattel slave, coupled with the vi

The Growth of the n. T. w. U.
Following the convention last Sep
TENDER, at which the N. T. w U. was
founded, Fred Beal was sent South.
There were many workers in the
South, many issues, much expoita-
ton and misery, but there were few
connections. The union was new
with limited resources. The union
had something that the textile work
ers needed-it had a correct pro-
gram. Within a short time, after
many hardships and dangers, con-
facts were made, and several small
locals established. The locals began
to grow. The bosses started fight
ing these locals. A number of
workers in the Loray mill were fired
for their activities in building their
union local. The answer of the
workers was a strike on April the
first. This was the beginning of
the mass movement of the textile
workers in the South-A movement
that is writing a new page in the
history of the American Labor move
ment. The bosses were determined
to crush this movement. The use of
the National guards, police, the
courts, laws against parading that
were interpreted as being against
picketing, the whole force at the
disposal of the mill owners from the
governor and the newspapers down
to the pulpits were used against the
workers. Nothing could break the
union. Then came the attack upon
the union headquarters and tent col
ony on June 7th, in which a union
organizer Joe Harrison, two police

PARAMOUNT And

Film Trust Will Crush
Other Companies

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21.-The
merger of the Warner Brothers and
Paramount-Famous Players-Lasky
corporations will be completed within
a week, according to a statement
issued yesterday by Jack L. Warner,
west coast head of the former or
ganization. This will bring under
one control the majority of the film
producing and exhibition forces in
the country.
The two corporations control $500
theatres throughout the country and
have holdings worth more than
$400,000,000. 1t is reported that a
parent company will be organized
which will be known as the Para
mount Warner Brothers Corpora
ton. This will be governed by a
board of directors and probably
headed by Adolph Zukor or Harry
M. Warner.
The new film combine, by unit
ing under one control the tremen-
dous resources of the Paramount
and Warner outfits, will be able to
gradually eliminate all other pro-
ducing and distribution forces in the
film industry. 1t is believed that
the Metro Goldwyn-M Mayer Corp,
United Artists and Universal, the
other leading producers, will find it
difficult to successfully compete
with the trust.

Gently swept the country, the federal
government today announced pro-
gram for the building of new peni-
tertiary in the northeastern states,
another reformatory and three fed
eral jails. The six-year construc-
ton program will cost approximate

pose it to relieve overcrowding in
federal penitentiaries.
Prisoners in Leavenworth prison
in Kansas, and Auburn and Dame
mora prisons in New York state,
participated in the prison revolts
against the overcrowding, bad food
and oppressive working conditions.
1t was disclosed several days ago
that 65 convicts in Dannemora were
slaughtered when they protested
against rotten conditions and their
bodies buried secretly at night, cof-
fins being sneaked into the prison.
The additional prisons will also
