NeIU PrOrGtiOn Plan
Called Oil Trade Aid

Far-reaching results, conStruc-
tive. to the oil industry, will fol-
low the efforts of the Texas
Railroad Commission to prorate
the East Texas fields on a Scien-
tific basis, in the opinion of T..
s. Hose, petroleum engineer, who
outlines in his current review the
procedure and the possibilities
from the decisive action by the
State in closing down the East
Texas fields until January /.
This is the first actual effort
by a State to control the amount
of oil flow from a pool by bot
tom hole pressure" Mr.. Hose
adds, but similar procedure was
followed by some of the major
oil companies in the Van Pool.

NEW YORK, Dec. 80 U.N.S0.
The curb market gave a much

However, the majority of trad.

Hope for Usual Markup
A good deal of speculative buy

the usual year-end mark-up would
enable them to dispose of their
holdings at a profit early next
week.
AS is customary. a large num-
Der of cash transactions made
their appearance, representing
tax selling, occasioned by the

mitting any violence This advice and
warning was adhered to to the letter
Daniel j. Tobin, international presi-
dent, said "a fight to be won by
brains, not by fists" In Hamilton
disturbance was negligible. Otwell
Condor is business representative of
the union for Hamilton, and all the
members of the union hold him in the
highest esteem and respect, and his
advice and counsel is always followed
in every way. All agree, even the
employers, that the local situation
was conducted in an orderly and
peaceful manner.
There is tendency everywhere on
the part of employers, because of
great unemployment, to take advan-
tage of the situation to reduce wages,
and it is suspicioned that such was
the case in this instance However
the quick, firm stand of the milk
employees blocked this move, and they
are deserving of the gratitude and
thanks of the entire labor movement
for their stand against general
wage cut.
AS it is, everybody concerned is
happy at the quick ending of this big
and important strike. The consumer,
dealer, producer, worker, all smile.

United Stand Blocks Deep
Wage Cut--Strike
Quickly Ends

The strike of the union milk driv-
ers and plant men in the Greater
Cincinnati district, including Hamil-
ton, and which involved approximate
ly 1,700 drivers, shippers, routemen
and plant employees, which started
Saturday morning, came to sudden
end Monday night, following all-day
conferences between union officials
and representatives of the dealers
and the producers and Cincinnati city
officials.
The agreement reached was that
the men return to work Tuesday
morning on the old wage scale, the
same to be submitted for arbitration.
Both sides agreed to accept Fred
Keightly, U. S. department of labor
conciliator, as arbitrator. Mr.. Height
ly is to render decision within ten
days, and it is further agreed by both
sides to accept the arbitrator's deci-
sion, whatever it may be, The agree
ment is to run for one year and the
arbitrator's decision is to be retro
active as of November 1. Practically
by the unionists. 1t was to be as
ali the old employees were back at
their jobs Tuesday morning. The men
who attempted" to take the jobs of
the striking unionists and the guards
employed for their protection were all
canned" (not bottled), and sent on
their unhappy way.
And thus ends, what for time,
looked like a serious situation might
develop, one that would cause wide
spread misery and sorrow. Outbreaks
and disturbances were reported, and
they were growing in numbers. And
these weren't being caused by the
unonists involved, either, but by
other members of sympathetic pub
lie whose sentiments were strongly
with the strikers and against those
who would attempt to thwart the
efforts of the workers to sustain fair
and decent living conditions.
The strikers had been advised by
their leaders to conduct themselves
peacefully and warned against COM

DRINK TRAFFIC.
BY Peter E. Rentschler, Treasurer
Local Crusader Battalion

There is an impression out that
this prohibition talk has to do chiefly
with drink. This is a mistake. The
drink traffic" has not been seriously
interfered with since the first few
months when it was in process of
being transferred to the new hands.
1t was not much more confusion than
you would expect in turning over
any other large business to new
hands, with new ownership and organ
ization.
The drink matter was put to in
Convenience, but not seriously dis
turbed. The volume of business under
the new act was about that under
the old. The traffic in drink has been
normal. The difference is in quality
and price. The Wickersham commits
sion says that the price and quality
are better, and we may add, the en-
barrassments of the commerce less.
Being free from the old local regula
tions gave the "drink traffic" new
freedom they never had in the old
days of local control.
This is not about drink. 1t is about
philosophy of life, theory of gov
ernment. The most amazing thing
about national prohibition is what it
has done to the government itself.
Now for the first time the drys
have a challenging party. At the time
the law was passed, there was no
party to oppose them. Right then
anti-German and food conservation
agreement, with the public mind ab-
sorbed by the war and with no or
ganized opposition, it was Slipped
through"
Now for the first time, there is a
party of opposition who have no
commercial interests in drink Now
for the first time we have a group of
equal standing by every test, educa-
ton, morals, religious and social
standing, to which any self-respecting
person can belong, with as much
grace and honor as any in the oppo-
sition. One makes himself ridiculous
to say that only those in the liquor
traffic, boozers, wealthy, and out
cast are vets. Over half of our popu-
lation surely cannot be so classed.
For a number of years the pres
sure was such that this opposition
hardly dared to raise it's head. In
politics, in churches, in schools, one
at his peril even discussed it. Then,
all of sudden, this opposition found
/ its voice. The hearings in Washing
ton; the Digest polls; the Wicker
sham report, etc, all helped the timid
to come out. We now are in the ris-
ing tide of opposition so great that
even those in Washington have heard
about it.

Mr.. Condor is business representa-
tive of the Milk Drivers and Dairy
Employees Local Union No. 90, and
had complete charge of the local sit
uation in the strike which started Sat-
urday morning and ended Monday
night. 1t was due to the able manner
in which he handled affairs that all
went so smoothly and well in Hamil-
ton during the strike. His members
have all faith and confidence in him,
and what he says goes with them.
Of quiet, reserved disposition, not
of the blatant soap box orator type,
he wouldn't countenance violence for
one second. He believes, rather, in
persuasion than force. The labor
movement is better for having men
like Otwell Condor in its membership
