WYOMINGITE LEAVES
BURNING CAMP FIRE
IN NATIONAL FOREST

Leaving camp fires burning
in national forests is not only
dangerous, but also an
expensive practice, according
to County Attorney Conwell. A
Wyoming resident by the name
of A. c. Vale committed such
An indiscretion on August 81
last in the Pryor district of the
Beartooth National Forest.
Forest Ranger r. A. Coster,
who has charge of the district,
Immediately got on the trial of
the offender and followed him
to Byron, Wyoming, with the
result that the county school
fund was enriched in the sum
of $500 this week when the
county attorney received and
turned over that amount to the
county treasurer.
Considering. the fact that
millions of dollars worth of
property has been destroyed
by forest fires during the past
three months Ranger Coster is
to be commended for his ener-
gy and zeal in seeing to it that
the fire laws are enforced.

ANOTHER OIL WELL
NEARING LIME IN
THE FRANNIE FIELD

Another well is near COM
pletion in the Frannie field,
on the MISUNDERSTANDING bor-
der.
This field snapped into the
headlines a couple of weeks
ago when the Midwest Refin-
ing company deepened a med
iocre well into the Madison
lime, getting in return a gush-
er which flowed more than 3
400 barrels the first "a hours.
This we'll now has all stor-
age filled and is shut down
waiting more tankage.
The completion placed an al
together different aspect on
this field, which is now conced-
ed to have a chance for some
sensational production. Pre-
viously wells completed above
the Madison lime had been rel
atiyely small producers.
The Midwest Refining COM
pany's well in Section 26 is
now down 2.410 feet and is ex-
pected to drill into the lime
within the next two weeks.
Discovery of lime production
in this field has given further
weight to the arguments of
those who insist that most of
the drilling so far done in
Montana has been mere child's
play, most of the tests stop
ping far short of the horizons
in which big production will be
found.-Montana Oil Journal.

resulted from fire that swept over

The day shift gets IS minutes for

In this will we have the "Spell

the men work one hour and then
they get a half hour off. Some of
the workers work in half-hour peri

This spell system" is used not
because the bosses like to give US
workers a rest. No, not at all. The
hard labor, the heat and its effect
upon the workers makes it impos-
sible for a human being to work
continually.
While we workers are forced to
pay insurance, hardly any social in
surance is being paid to workers.
The bosses find excuses for not pay
ing the workers any accident in
surance, and thye always get away
with it. On the other hand the
boss takes off 1920 from the first
pay check and S1.2O for the last
pay each month for insurance. In
this way the steel company is able
to rob the workers a little more.
Must Form Shop Committees.
The steel workers, both white and
Negro, must form into shop COM
mittees, and lay the ground for a
strong industrial union.
The Trade Union Unity League
which was formed in Cleveland,
should send in organizers and help
us organize. Many of the workers
in the Youngstown Steel Mills, as
we'll as in other steel mills in Indi-
ana Harbor, are ready for organiza-
ton.
By uniting our forces, by sticking
together, only in this way will we
succeed in improving our condi-
tions, smash the speed-up system
and win a decent wage and the
right to organize into a union.
