WEWOKA, Okla, Dec. 19.-The
unruly Deep Rock Oil Company's
No. l Douglas gas well Of the We
woka townsite pool turned into a

Famed by a stiff breeze from the

feet of gas, def1ed efforts Of its

The gas well apparently was set
afire by a spark, perhaps caused
by metal banging together on the
steel rig.

WAGE CLAUSE ISSUE
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-House
and senate conferees failed to agree
today on controversial amendments
made by the senate to the $116,000,-
600 unemployment relief bill.
1t was understood the most seri-
Gus poinC of difference was over the
portion of the Couzens amendment,
which provides that not only must
local labor be employed, but that the
highest prevailing wage scale must
be paid"
When the conference committee
reported to the house today, the
house voted to insist on it's position
particularly with regard to the
Georgia and Alabama road funds.
This action will make necessary
further conference before the meas
ure can be adopted.
Face Fight in Senate
Meanwhile, in the senate, Senator
Borah blocked immediate consider
alton of the $150,000,000 appropri-
alton for the farm board to aid its
wheat buying operations. The ap-
preparation went on the calendar
for probable consideration. Satur-
day.
Senator Black (Dem., A1a.) in
troduced an amendment to the
$50, 100000 bill which would pre-
vent use of any funds for trading
in futures Or on margin. This is
aimed at the futures activity Of the
farm board in its wheat operations.
President Hoover Thursday won
on the major points at issue in two
measures that constitute his relief
program.
Senate Partly Yields
In the case of the $116,000,O0o con-
struction bill to give jobs to unen-
ployed on rivers and harbors, high
ways and flood control projects, the
senate yielded to give the President
discretion III transferring funds
from one purpose to another, which
was the principal point at issue.
On the other measure, that for
drought relief, senate and house
conferees reached a compromise for
a $45,000,0O0 appropriation. This is
exactly halfway between the $780,
100000 voted by the senate and the
100000 approved by the house.
Though Mr. Hoover favored a.
$25,O00,00O appropriation originally
it was not believed the increase
could be very Objectionable to him,
for he won on another point that he
held most vital.
Conferees eliminated the pro-
vision for loans for purchase of food,
which the administration opposed as
a dole"

NEW YORK.-The big Western
Electric Co. shops at East Houston

reducing their forces by 200 men at
a time for the last five weeks
Last week the men were called to
a meeting and told the company was
suffering from the depression and
had to fire men from time to time,
and also had to do $4,000 worth of
painting and renovating ON the
building, and therefore the men must
take cut Of SO a week. They didn't
even hire painters for this job, but
make the electricians and engineers
do the painting
They started with 1895 a week,
and now pay $685.. In addition, the
men are forced to take Tuesdays off
instead of Saturdays, as they work
only half days on Saturday. The
company is making a drive to cut
wages still more by forcing the men
to take part OF their pay in stock.
They lose the stock when they are
fired or otherwise can't pay up the
remainder of the amount due.
