House Considers
Substitute Labor
Bill on Injunction
Legislation May Be Favored
In the Final Days Of
Regular Session
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus, O.-With all signs point
ing to sine die adjournment of the
regular session of the 93rd General
Assembly of Ohio within a week or
ten days, action on legislation of in
terest to labor increased in both
branches of the Legislature last week,
giving rise to the hopes that some
meritorious labor bills may be enacted
into law.
Although several bills sponsored or
supported by the Ohio State Fedora
tion of Labor have been approved by
one branch Of the General Assembly,
no labor legislation has been approved
by both House and Senate this session.
Quick action was taken Tuesday,
May 9, by the House of Representa-
tives on a substitute bill offered as a
compromise for labor-sponsored House
Bill 16, regulating the issuance Of in
functions involving labor disputes.
The substitute bill, bearing the
name of Representative John Mat
thias, Columbus, instead of Repre-
sentative Lody Huml, Cleveland, at
the latter's request, was recommended
for passage by the House Judiciary
Committee May by vote Of nine to
four, being opposed by Representa-
tives Marshall of Muskingum county,
Dworkin, Petri and Wittenmyer.
The broad coverage Of the Huml
bill, identical with the Federal Norris
LaGuardia Act, is eliminated in the
Matthias substitute, which provides
merely that "no temporary restraining
order may be issued in any case in
volving or growing out of dispute
between an employer and his employees
or involving any labor union of which
his employees are members except upon
notice and upon hearing the testimony
of witnesses in open court in support
of the allegations of the complaint
made under oath, and testimony in op-
position thereto, if offered"

John L. Lewis, president of the Con-

the amendments proposed by the

equally disreputable attacks on Presi-

letter which Mr.. Lewis sent to the

other anti-labor corporations, and sug-
gesting that the committee ask Mr..

absurd claim made by the head of the

In addition to his brainstorm about
corporations aiding the A. F. of l..
Mr.. Lewis suggested that the commit
tee ask five other questions connected
with the same palpable falsehood.
Charges Are Absolutely False
When the letter of Mr.. Lewis was
made known to President Green, he
dictated the following reply:
"There is not one word of truth in
the allegation that l conferred with
any representative of the Manufacture

obviously, the charges he makes
are designed to detract from the

at any cost the advantages and the
services of a biased board which it

which had the oil, is beyond the
north limits of this map.
Maps Utopia AS Nose
A second structure mapped by
Howard and others was known as
Utopia dome. The California COM
pany recognized the structural con-
dition and drilled a test, after an
earlier well reported a showing of
oil. The California well was dry,
with only small showings of oil and
gas. This is shown on the govern
ment map as a well defined nose"
called the Utopia Nose which Is the
most important feature shown on
the contour map. The Devon gas
field is located on the west end of
this nose, with gas and oil produc-
ton found on the $500 foot contour
as compared with a 2800-foot con-
tour at Utopia.
A second defined 'fnose" appears
south of Lothian, but this is on the
3200-foot contour and 1t seems to
fade out before it reaches the flanks
of Kevin-Sunburst field. A struc-
ture had been mapped by Howard
at Lothair but he had never been
able to find closure on the west
side, which seems confirmed by the
government map.
Nor does the map cast any help

well, one of the first wells in the

tours.

What We Mean By Deep Test"

Our partial account of the Frazer-Rice
deep test last week brought a surprising
number of letters from interested per-
sons, including one Oklahoma operator
who with the others demanded in effect:
What do you mean by DEEP TEST
when going $500 feet?"
The answer is that to us a deep test
means $500 feet. That depth in Kelvin
Sunburst will test all the "breaks" in the
Madison lime, including the Turner
Valley horizons, and the Devonian, at
the base of the Madison lime Another
1000 feet will go to the Ordovician-
the producing horizon Of Oklahoma City
and other great Midcontinent pools.
That is not all: a 3.6O0-foot test in
the Bannatyne field will test all forma-
tions, including the Ordovician in which
there is believed TO be 2OO-foot sand
stone. A hole slightly deeper in Pom
dera oil field would likewise test the
Devonian where oil is known to be
present, proven by showings in that for
nation in TWO wells drilled in the deep
Sy0cHne north OF ROnuerd.
Oil has been found in the Devonian in
the Frazier-Rice deep test, in Kevin-Sun-
burst field; in two wells north of Conrad
in Bears Den, in the Sweetgrass Hills
and in the Baker-Glendive anticline in
the eastern edge of Montana.
There is little question among geolo-
gists and petroleum engineers about the
origin of the oil found at the top of
the Madison limestone, massive lime
stone from 600 to 500 feet thick, which
covers all of northern Montana and part
of Alberta. The "host rock" of the oil
is any soft material at the top of the
lime or IN the lime. There is no or
ganic material in or at the top of the
lime with hydrocarbons capable of form
ing petroleum. The oil arrives in the
lime as a result of VERTICAL MIGRA-
TION-coming up through cracks and
assures in the lime-cracks formed
when the gigantic earth movements up
warped the great Sweetgrass Arch.
Wherever there is large crack or
fissure, there is likely to be consider
able accumulation of oil There is no
scientific way of locating these cracks
The two major lines of faulting, known
as the Kelvin fault and the Bmmons
fault, have surface indications and farms
along these faults have produced 80 per
cent of the crude from Kevin-Sunburst.
There are doubtless other cracks and
faults but the only way to find them is
to drill a well. Acid now helps the
driller to explore away from the six-inch
hole with which he penetrates the top
of the lime and this has saved many
holes from abandonment as "dry." The
faintest showing of oil is now inter-
preted as an indication Of the proximity
of a lime crack. Acid will frequently
penetrate back to that crack and bring
in production that would not otherwise
be found without the drilling OF more
wells nearby.
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1939-10-28

This discovery has led to a further
realization that a lot of oil that started
on its upward migration MAY NEVER
HAVE REACHED THE TOP OF THE
LIME. That is proven by the several
wells which have been drilled (some-
times accidentally below the Contact
and into the lime and have shown I'M
usually large production. Here a few
days ago a "dry hole" on the State
lease in Section 16-35-2W was drilled
deeper to a new lime break" It is
today the best well on the lease. It
follows that there may be another
break" below that one-and another
and another Wherever there is a soft
porous formation in the lime, in proxi-
nifty to a fracture or crack, there
is likely to be oil in that porous forma-
ton which the drillers call a break
the lower the break, the closer it is to
the source of upwardmigrating oil.
In Turner Valley but little oil has
reached the top of the Madison lime
Just enough to serve as 'teaser" for
early prospectors. Drilling continued
500 feet into the lime to find a porous
'break" capable of containing oil That
self-same break" may be present in
Kevin-Sunburst field. There is room for
an area greater than the producing
area of Turner Valley oil field in which
no hole has been drilled through the
Madison lime. Let it be said that
British politics Notwithstanding
Madison lime in Canada is the same
Madison lime in Montana. The inter-
ational boundary has no effect on the
ocean beds of 125,OO0.OOO years ago.
So it is reasonable to expect that
conditions may be found in the Madison
lime similar to that found in Alberta
on the north and Wyoming on the south,
where lime "breaks" are furnishing large
production.
Then why is Montana not producing
from all the breaks" in the Madison
lime?
The reason is the timidity of drillers

quires abandonment when the

However, an operator in the Baker

was not content to abandon it as a water

ately to $500 feet in Kevin-Sunburst

suit. Then someone will drill to

going to stumble onto the Turner Valley
horizon or its equivalent. Then a dis
satisfied operator will refuse to aban
don a well that has missed in ALL these
lenses, and he will go on down to the
Devonian where petroliferous shales
sands and porous lines are known to
exist, and where more uniform produc-
ton may be hoped for
Answering our operator friend in Okla
homa, we appreciate the humor Of the
inquiry. We know that no well under
10000 feet is considered a deep test
In fact wells are completed regularly at
this depth today in other states and we
know that there are So wells in Cali
fornia making oil from below 10000
feet.
That means that we will have no "deep
drilling" in northern Montana and par
ticularly in the Sweetgrass Arch where
Mother Nature has obiiging1y stored her
precious reserves of oil and gas in forma-
lions less than 10000 feet deep. It
would be thrilling to have 1500O-foot
wells, like California and Louisiana but
here in Montana we simply will not be
allowed to spend the money as wells half
