MAKING FAST
time on TWO
BAKER WELLS

Swift progress is being made by
rotary drilling crews Of Montana
Dakota Utilities company on It's
two drilling wells on Baker-Glen-
dive anticIine in extreme eastern
Montana.
The Warren well on No. 2 Unit
block, north OF the town of Baker,
is drilling at 4,70O feet, after hav-
ing set and cemented 16-fnch cas-
ing at 1900 feet. This well, located
rs miles north and west Of the dis
covery well and lower on structure,
is regarded as pure wildcat and
IL is expected that the top OF the
lime, where the discovery well found
oil. will be somewhat deeper in
this location. Also IL is on a sep
nrafe high, although on the same
great antichna.
The Smith well In the No. 3 I'M
Il block, half q mdle north OF the
discovery well. set 1900 feet Of Is
inch casing and cemen4ed and ia
now drilling at $500 feet At the
present rate Of progress Il is be-
Iieved that this well should reach
the productive horizon during the
month Of December.

horizon is within 200 feet OF the
Cut Bank sand, the existence of
which was unknown to geologists
in 1921. Accordingly. the Western
Pe4-X test served only to prove
that the formations are regular TO
the base OF the Cretaceous con-
diEion unlike other near-mountain
folds which have been tested. On
Sun River anticline, as an example,
the drill passed through the codora-
do shales twice. A similar condi-

overthrust.

They had drilled a series OF dry
holes at Devon and in Kevin-Sun-
burst and when they reached the
contact on the Van Note-dn the
center of good producing area
they had a little oil and some wa
ter. They continued on into the
lime and at 1850 to 1910 had an
oil-bearing formation that looks
like about eight to Is barrels ini-
tial. They drilled on to 1856 but
found no more oil and quit before
encountering any water. Treated
with acid, it is believed that it
will make an average well which in
thds district means around 40 to
SO barrels per day. The contact was
at 1880.

THE COLD FACTS ON
WAGE LEVELS

First calling attention to the fact
that today, the minimum health wage
is 73 cents an hour, and must be
higher in industries which have vio-
lent fluctuations in employment, the
A. F. of L. Monthly Survey of Busi-
ness gives the following figures on
wages in four big industries:
Cigarettes: 95.6 per cent of the
workers get less than 72 cents.
Paper Boxes: 82.7 per cent of the
workers get less than 70 cents.
Automobiles: In September, 1884,
Sc per cent of the workers got less
than rs cents an hour. The present
rate may be better. But autos are
the worst large industry in the matter
of fucuating employment
Steel: Before the recent partial
raises, 71.5 per cent of the workers
got less than rs cents an hour.
"These records show three impor-
tant points" says the Survey. "u)
that $4,000 workers in these four in
dustries, or So per cent in all, have
been receiving less than the minimum
wage to support their families in
health. (2) Some progress was made
between 1888 and 1885, wage levels
being lifted in general by amounts
varying from to 20 cents an hour.
80 Companies are today in a posi-
tion to grant substantial wage in
creases."

FRIDAY, DECEMBER II. 1886
THE TARDY SCHOLAR

Speaking to a group of engineers
at the Hotel Astor the other night,
former President Hoover said:
IT am convinced that when we fully
understand the economic history OF
the period of the Twenties, we shall
find that the debacle which terminated
the end of another apparently highly
prosperous period was largely con-
tributed to by failure of industry to
pass its improvement Through labor
saving devices) on to the consumers" !"
Mr.. Hoover is learning something
But how little he has learned, and
how long it has taken him to do it,
may be seen by brief quotation from
Franklin D. Rooseyelt's speech of
acceptance at the Chicago convention
in 1882. Mr.. Roosevelt said, speaking
of the same period to which Mr.. Hoo
yer refers:
Corporation profits resulting from
this period were enormous. At the
same time, little of that profit was
devoted to the reduction of prices.
The consumer was forgotten. Very
little of it went into increased wages.
The worked was forgotten. And by no
means an adequate proportion was
paid out in dividends. The stockholder
was forgotten.
What was the result? Enormous
corporation surpluses piled up, the
most stupendous in all history. Where,

we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes 6ippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

A considerable group of people in
this country are going round, posi-
lively looking for disappointment
And they are going to find it.
This group includes the people we
used to call captains of industry" :"
That was in the days of our innocence,
before we realized that many of these
captains We're pirates. 1t includes the
professional apologists for big busi-
ness. 1t includes also many folk
whom accident has put in the party
opposing big business, but who think
and act, when they have chance,
as big business would wish them to.
This gang is looking for two things.
First, to balance the budget by cut
ting down relief.
Second, to have an "era of good
feeling" between big business and gov
ernment.
The propaganda or this bunch is
behind the troubles that have blazed
up in half dozen places on the sud-
den cutting of WPA workers.
In New York, the eviction of the
dismissed WPA was carried out with
the regulation brutality of metropol-
itan police in this country. One man,
merely for refusing to go when told
to do so, got a fractured skull-some-
thing which sounds almost like self
determination in the steel towns.
It won't work; and the mayors of
II industrial cities are telling the
world that it won't work. The great
est glory of the Roosevelt administra-
tion is its relief work. 1t must not be

number bureaucrats and the ceaseless
propaganda of corporate bosses.
Prosperity has come a long ways
back, wages are going up. The only
escape that big business can see from
this dire calamity is to stop the gov.
ernment relief work, throw one or
two or three million men on the labor
market, and beat down wages by the
needs of these men.
1t just won't work, that's all. The
officials Of New York, Boston,, Chi
cago, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New
ark, Cleveland, Louisville, Baltimore,
st. Paul and Milwaukee have united
in saying that it won't work.
And as for the s'era of good feel
ing" thereIl be plenty of time for
that when big business shows some
faint indication of being willing to
earn it.
Not one of the big-unit industries
has yet brought forth works meet
for the repentance. Until they do,
until they agree without pressure to
the emancipation of labor, which
means the free and unrestricted or
ganization of labor; until they ac-
cept the political and economic re-
forms which have raised this country
out of the worst depression in his
tory-why, until then, their protes-
tations of good feeling are rather
hollow.
And their disappointment is sure.

under the spell of delirious speculation
did these profits go? Chiefly in two
directions. First, into new and unnec-
cessary plants, which now stand stark
and idle Second, into the call money
market of Wall street"
In this speech, July 2, 1882, Mr.
Roosevelt cited three great faults of
the corporation autocracy which dis
tinguished what Mr.. Hoover calls the
Twenties. Four and half years later,
Mr.. Hoover shows that he has partly
learned one of those three.
