NATURAL GAS, CRUDE
OIL PRODUCTION GAINS

Montana natural gas production
showed an increase of 80,421, 900 cub
ic feet over the month of September,
1871. Montana crude oil production
showed an increase of 57,103.60 bar
rels over the month of September,
1871, principally on account of the
Cut Bank field competitions. Storage
oil was slightly reduced, being in
round figures 1,150,0O0 barrels, on ac-
count of sales to Canada.
Cut Bank field had IA competitions
for the month of October of which
10 were oil wells, 10 being In the new

was dry hole.
Kevin-S unburst field proper had 7
competitions of which four were oil
wells and three were dry holes. In
the gas area there were three COM
pletions, two of which were gas wells
and one dry hole. None of these
wells were above average production.
There were five gas wells completed
in other fields within the state. One
wildcat was plugged and abandoned
near Pendroy by r. G. Tarrant which
was very disappointing as this was

TRENDS ON
UPGRADE

Through October employment trends

ANNOUNCED Barclay Craighead, chair
man of the Unemployment Compensa-
| ton Commission. Total placements
| by the Montana Employment Service
during October were 4,119 workers as
against 3,474 for September. The ac-
tive files of unemployed were reduced
from 10,016 to 9,240 during the month
Principally the placements were in
farm work, providing the farmers of
Montana with the help necessary to
clean up their harvest of grain, pota-
toes, and beets.
In claims for unemployment COM
pensation, said Mr.. Craighead, there
was an expected small increase over
September due to seasonal unemploy-
ment in covered industry. However,
the total of 2,037 initial claims for
October 1871 compares favorably with
1925 in October 1940
The unemployment compensation
fund, available for benefit payments,
increased during October from $685.
426 to $5,800,742. Last year at this
time, with a heavier benefit load in
prospect, the fund stood at $3.50, 794.

FIGURES

WASHINGTON OPP "The Ma
tional Economy League, in a clear
cut case of statistical misrepresenta-
| ton, is attempting again to condemn
million workers and their families
to the breadline," F. H. Dryden, acting
commissioner of work projects,
charged November 4.
'In a clumsy attempt to smear the
administration policy of giving use
full work to the unemployed, the
league alleges that 40 of work re-
left money goes into overhead What
the league advocates is directly in
line with the age-old attempt to re-
turn unemployed people to dole, :"
he added.
Dryden said, the league arrived at
its figure of 41a6 for overhead by in
Guiding under this heading the cost
of materials, the contributions of spon-
sors, and even such items as disability
compensation.
'This figure is completely at vari-
ance with the facts, which show that
of the federal dollar spent for work
relief in 1941, 81 cents went fos wages,
9.4 cents went for materials and
equipment, and only 36 cents went
for administration" he asserted.

|C0-0PS BORROW
AT DOUBLE
1910 RATE

Farmers marketing, purchasing, and
farm business service co-operatives
borrowed nearly twice as much money
from the banks for co-operatives in
the first nine months of 1914 as they
did in the corresponding period of
1910, the u. S. department of agricul-
ture reported. This is seen as re-
fleeing both higher price levels and
greater business activity.
This year the co-operatives OBJ
tanned S126,000,000 in credit from the
~ district banks and the Central bank
in the nine months, while In 1910 the
total was s67,O0o,O0O for the same pc
Rod
Outstanding credit reached a new
month-end peak of s105,000,000 on
September 80, 1871, according to re-
port of s. d. Sanders, Cooperative
bank commissioner. This compares
with a total of approximately $780,
100000 outstanding year earlier. In
cluded in the figures for each year
is Commodity Credit Corporation pa
per bought from co-operatives. CCC
paper held on September 80, 1941
amounted to $11,275,000.
In recognition of the increased
credit needs for several banks for CO.
operatives, Governor A. G. Black of
the Farm Credit Administration has
to additional capital stock
in the banks on behalf of the govern
ment. The subscriptions amount to

counted for about % percent of the

some buying interest. An active de-
mand prevailed for all cash grain at

PROFITS LOST

| LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y.-(FP,
IA small fortune in perfume profits
is being lost each day by Helena
Rubinstein, who has so far resisted
demands of Local 1866 of Dist. so
United Mine Workers (CIO), for 9
15c hourly wage increase.
About 100 assorted scabs and strike
breakers are producing small quaint
ties of vanishing cream and powder,
Organizer Fred Hamilton said, but the
lucrative manufacture of perfume and
lipsticks has been completely tied up
by the 200 strikers.
This is raising the devil with the
assembly of Christmas gift packages, .
Hamilton explained. 'In past years
the employees have worked Saturdays,
Sundays and nights to prepare sets
for the holiday trade.
"As many as $1,000 bottles of Apple
Blossom perfume have come from the
machines in single day When you
realize that this sells for $3.75 an
ounce and costs only a fraction of that
to make, you can see how much the
firm is losing.

trade is reached by Thanksgiving.
Evidently Helena was caught COM
