tria; (2) return of former German
colonies; and (3) destruction of
Britain's control over world sea
lanes.
But the Welles expedition was not
without profit. Europe had sudden
ly become filed with peace plans,
and all the powers were talking
tough about the minimum terms
they would accept. This indicated
they were at least ready to talk
peace.
WeIIes Sideline
Aside from his announced mis-
sion, Sumner Welles was instru-
mental in two other developments.
First, his visit apparently paved the
way for return to Washington of
DR.. Hans Dieckhoff, German am
bassador recalled in 1888. Second
and most important, he had evident
ly smoothed U. S.-Italian friendship
by trying to settle Italy's coal prob
lem. The trouble:
Britain, enforcing her blockade of
German exports, had first tried to
persuade Italy to buy coal from her
instead of the Reich. Failing, she
stopped German coal bound for
Italy, drawing an angry protest
from Rome. Whether by accident
or not, Mr.. Welles' arrival CO.
incided with reports that Italy would
seek 500, 900, 900 credit to buy coal
from the U. S. Obviously this
pleased the allies, for Italy would
not only be freed from blockade
pressure but would find her CO.
operation with Germany restricted.
Finnish Loan
Passed by the senate in jig time
were house amendments to a bill
boosting by 100000 the Export
Import banks capital. Purpose: To
make loans for non-military pur-
chases to nations whose war debts
are not in default. Principal bene-
ficiary was Finland, whose $40, 000,-
900 Federal Loan Administrator
Jesse Jones allocated even before
President Roosevelt signed the bill.
Unexpectedly, Mr.. Jones also an
nounced loans of $15,000,000 to
Sweden and 100000 to Norway,
both funds to be used for financing
U. S. exports. Happiest of all was
Finland's Minister Hjalmar j. Pro-
cope, who Immediately began buy
ing gasoline, oil, grain and vital sup
plies. Said he: ''When the war
started, most people thought we
would be beaten within two or three
days. We've been fighting three
months now and we'll fight on, con-
fident that help will come"
u. S. Mediation?
Even more persistent than rumors
of an Allied-German peace were re-
ports that Finland and Russia may
soon reach a settlement, probably
under U. S. sponsorship. European
observers who watched Sumner
Welles confer with Adolf Hitler also
noticed that U. S. Ambassador Lau-
renee Steinhardt broke bread in
Moscow with Russian Premier Via
cheslav Molotov.
Whether the initiative came from
the U. S. or elsewhere, the Firms
were indeed ready to talk peace.
Sorely tired, they had a choice of
accepting Russia's terms or calling
for British-French aid (something,
contrary to popular opinion, they
have not yet done). Some observ-
ers thought the mysterious mediator
was Sweden, a possibility which
might have unhappy consequences.
Should Finland be made a sort of
Russian Slovakia, Norway and Swe-
den would be even more firmly held
under the Russian-German boot.

SHOE WORKERS
 GET INCREASE
 IN THEIR DAY
Col. Fleming Signs Order Granting More Wages
 10 Over 60,000

WASHINGTON, May 30. = Nor than 6O,000 shoe workers, of the 240,000 employed by the industry, are guaranteed an increased hourly wage rate in an order signed by Col. Philip B. Fleming, Administra- tor of the Wage and Hour Divis- ion, United States Department of Labor.
 Workers in this number, largely engaged in piece work operations, were recently found to be earning less than 35 cents an hour. tn c minimum wage for the industry established by today's wage order, which becomes effective Monday, April %. 1940, the approximate date requested by the industry. The or der puts into effect the unanimous minimum wage recommendation of a committee, which investigated the industry, under the chairman ship of Msgr. Francis J. Haas of Catholic University. The commit tee was comprised equally of rep resentatives of the employers, the employees, and the public.
 The shoe wage order will bring to more than 3O0,OO0 the number of workers whose wage rate has been ordered increased by the Ad- ministrator. Previously, wage rec concentrations, all above 30 cents but, not above 40 cents an hour, have been approved by the textile, hosiery, millinery, knitted outer wear and knitted underwear indus tries. The statute itself increased the rates of 690,000 workers to 50 cents an hour.

We then followed Quartz Gulch down to the basin, and the quartz that lay in the bed of the gulch was literally specked with gold. We then turned our attention to prospecting the gulch for placer or gravel and the first pan I 1 washed I got 50 cents. That was the mouth of Quartz Gulch. kept all the pan prospects separate and weighed them. came to the con- clusion it would pay 25 to 50 dol lars day to the man, but when we put hose and hydraulic pressure on it we have averaged in some places S90 to the man but the camp was limited and not exten- sive.

 Trouble With Indians
 We had very little trouble with the Indians. We had little trouble in the summer of '81 and whisky was the cause. A white man kept little place for the sale of beer and whisky up the creek about three-fourths of mile above Ju- u. camped close by, and the white man accused the three Indians of stealing his beer The white man went to the Indian camp to kill the whole gang, but one of the h. dians killed him, and that started the trouble They put the three h. dians in jail and put a man by the name of Dennis to guard them. The guard got rather careless and laid his belt and revolver down in- side the jail One of the Indians picked up the revolver and shot the jailer, and then all three h. dians broke jail and ran over to the Indian village. The next day an old white man who had been imbibing rather freely concluded that he was brave and started over to the village to arrest the Indian all by himself The consequence was, when the white man got to the village and forced an entrance into the house where the Indian was concealed, the Indian killed him. That was three white men the same Indian had killed, the other two Indians having no hand in the killing Then the citizens got together and armed themselves, and marched to the Aux village

GAS WELL WEST
OF PEC0S AGAIN
DEFEATS THEORIES

ARTESIA, N. M. - William
Dooley Jr.. 20, who refused to be-
lieve there was nothing west Of
the Pecos" in oil and gas resources,
said today his million-foot gasser
vindioated his lsome-developed
confieldology" as the equal of or
thodox geology.
Dooley. son of Will Dooley. pio-
neer Artesia oil field developer,
brought in a roaring wildcat gasser
yesterday as the first well west of
Artesia and west of the Pecos riv-
er in this district.
Speculation on the significance of
the gasser was no less under con-
troll than Dooieys roaring well,
which he brought in at 93S feet
and which many hoped might sig
nal the development of a new pool
right at Artesia.
1.-The experts" said young Dooley
today, told me we had better give
the money spent in drilling to the
Army or some other wor-
thy cause.
"They said they would drink all
the production we would get west
of the Pecos."
Dooley said he had no immediate
plans for future development Of the
area which he had wildcatted He
has interests In several thousand
acres in the vicinity Of his gasser.
