PRESIDENT URGES
BETTER OIL LAWS
Illegal Production Threaten.
ing Control System, He
Declares.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today asked
Congress to tighten up the oil control
program at this session.
In letter to Chairman Logan of
the Senate Mines Committee and
Chairman Rayburn of the House In
terstate Commerce Committee, the
President asserted illegal production
of oil is threatening the structure of
the newly organized oil production
control system.
His letter follows:
II have received a disturbing let
ter from the administrator for the
petroleum industry, Hon. Harold l.
Ickes, informing me of the contin-
ued daily production of oil in excess
OF the maximum amount determined
on by the administrator pursuant to
authority under the petroleum code
illegal" Oil Cited.
"The administrator states the
records of the Bureau of Mines dur
ing the first three months of this
year show a daily average produc-
ton of Illegal oil of 149 900 barrels.
Technically speaking, this may
not all have been hot oil, but In a
real sense it is, since it is oil pro-
duced in excess of the allowable.
While the final figures of the
Bureau of Mines are not available
for April and May, it is unquestion-
ably true that there Is growing dis
regard for production orders issued
under the petroleum code and that
the trend of hot oil produced is up
ward.
For example, it is stated on re-
liable authority that the daily excess
production in the East Texas field
alone is running at $4,000 to $4,000
barrels per day.
"Other estinlators say this figure
should be much higher. The Oil and
Gas Journal recently estimated there
was illegal production in the coun-
try as a whole of 1894 barrels per
day during the week ending May II.
Urges Stronger Law.
"If the principle of prorating pro-
duction under a code is to be main
tanned, it seems necessary that the
existing law should be strengthened
by the passage of the bill, which has
been introduced in the Senate by
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma, and
in the House by Representative Dis
ney of Oklahoma, and supported by
the oil administrator.

suit of the work of the oil adminiStra-
tor, definite progress has been made

HOUSE VOTES BAN
ON SALE OF ARMS

Act in Gran Chaco-
Warfare.

The House today voted to give
President Roosevelt authority to bar
sale of arms and munitions in the
United States for use in the Gran
Chaco war between Bolivia and
Paraguay.
The McReynolds resolution was
sent to the Senate without dissent
ing vote after brief consideration.
Later the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee approved the resolution
unanimously and Chairman Pittman
Democrat, of Nevada, said he would
seek Senate action today.
Chairman McReynolds Of the For
eign Affairs Committee submitted to
the House table showing that during
1888 United States exports of NUM-
tiors to Bolivia amounted to S408, ,707
and to Paraguay $38.51l, and in the
first three months of 1884, s253.l
to Bolivia and $60,218 to Paraguay.
An identical resolution was pend
ing in the Senate, where administra-
ton leaders planned to push it
through before the week end.
Secretary Hull urged approval in a
letter yesterday to the House Foreign
Affairs Committee. He said inter-
national conversations looking to con-
certed action for peace were pro-
crossing well.
He also called attention to a tele-
gram received from a League of Ma
tions committee asking if the United
States was prepared to participate
in measures designed to prevent the
sale of arms and munitions of war
to Paraguay"
"I am replying to this telegram
that this Government is not at pres
ent in a position to take the measures
proposed by the League" he said,
but that if legislation is secured con-
ferring the necessary authority upon
the President, this Government will
be prepared to cooperate to the full

Westerners Consider Move

Pittman Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Four Western Senators broke tenn
porarily away from the silver bloc
today for huddle on the question Of
hber alizing the silver purchase bill.
The four silverites-Borah, Repub-
lican, of Idaho; Thomas, Democrat,
of Oklahoma; Wheeler. Democrat,
of Montana, and McCarran, Demo-
crat, of Nevada-said they wanted
to study the measure minutely in pri-
vate conference TO see If they should
move to strengthen it. Their advance
predictions, however, were that they
would propose no amendments.
First reactions of some of the four,
when the bill was introduced yester-
day on the heels of the Presidents
silver message. did not indicate unal-
loyed joy over the proposed treat
ment Of the white metal.
"Not .dade Money"
"Silver Is not made money under
the terms of this bill any more than
greenbacks, or copper, or nickel is
made money" Thomas complained.
Senator Pittman, Democrat, of
Nevada. replied that President Roose-
welt viewed the bill as putting silver
on the same basis with geld. Pitt
man. who introduced the bill, called
it another forward stride in the long
struggle to rehabilitate silver. A ma
jority of the silver bloc seemed sat-
isfied and drove for passage quickly.
Senator Robinson, Democratic lead
er. announced It would be taken up
next week or just as soon as the tariff
is out of the way. He foresees little
opposition.
Presidents Approval.
The bill. carrying President Roose-
velt's benediction, declares for a pol
icy of silver purchasing until ulti-
mately one-fourth of the money value
of the Nations monetary stocks shall
be in silver, the other three-fourths
being gold.

IN FATAL STRIKE
Labor Board Drafts Pact.
One Dead, As Hurt in
Minneapolis Riot.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 23.-The Gov
ernment demanded today an immedi-
ate halt of the Minneapolis truck
drivers strike after a week Of riots
and bloodshed.
The order came from the Regional
Labor Board, which submitted at the
same time a conciliation agreement
to strikers and employers. Represen-
tatives of both sides indicated prob
able acceptance of the boards deci-
sion.
The board, acting upon instructions
Of the National Labor Board. reached
its decision last night, several hours
after the most violent outbreak of
the strike. in which one man was
fatally injured.
Truce Arranged.
The rioting led to a hastily arranged
truce to permit the regional board to
act. The truce, effective for "a hours
following announcement of the Labor
Boards decision, ended a clash in the
city market area between 5000 strik-
ers and police authorities. c. Arthur
Lyman, vice president and general
manager of the American Ball Co.,
died from injuries suffered while act
ing as a special police officer. About
As men were injured.
The Executive Committee Of the
truck owners meets today to take
formal action on the arbitration plan
submitted by the Minneapolis-St Paul
Regional Board. A meeting of the
General Drivers and Helpers Union,
No. STA, also is to be held to act on
the ultimatum.
Discrimination Forbidden.
AS part of its order, the board rec
commended that any agreements be-
tween employees and employers ar
rived at either by collective bargain
ing or arbitration be made in writing
and forbade any discrimination
against employees who are members OF
the union. 1t sets up a system for
collective bargaining, fixing wages and
hours of work, establishes seniority
rights and provides a system of ar
bitration for future differences.
The regional boards ruling, except
for an overruling by the National La
Dor Board, to which either party may
appeal, becomes mandatory upon both
employers and strikers
G. o. p. Blames Shoemaker.
The strike involved more than 5000
union members and nearly as many
active sympathizers, resulting in a
virtual tie-up of truck service ano
merchandise delivery in and into the
city. Nearly 100 casualties resulted.
The Republican State Committee
last night issued a statement criticiz-
ing Gov. Olson for his statements
that he is radical" and blamed the
Chief Executive and Representative
Francis Shoemaker for the violence
marking the strike.
Representative Shoemaker incited
them (strikers) to action on a def
mite statement that Gov. Olson was
sympathetic and would not inter.
fere,' the Republican Committee
statement asserted.
Shoemaker, who, like Gov. Olson
is a Farmer-Laborite, was arrested
Monday while talking to strikers. on a
disorderly conduct charge, and is now
out on bail pending hearing.
