PRESSMEN'S UNION
CLEANUP

AS the A. r. of L. executive COM
r.ttee meets in Cleveland today,
total OF five locals of the Press
mems Union have demanded a
thorough investigation of the man
ner in which the late George Berry
butted the treasury of the union
he was supposed to protect.
Many rank and file members OF
the union have petitioned the AFT.
officials to protect their interests
Unless they get AFL aid they fear
their hard-earned pension benefits
will be lost. for it is extremely
difficult to hold an election and
throw out present union officials
The last time such an election
was held, according to Lewis w.
Thomas, ST., chairman of the 1926
Recall Committee, it got nowhere
The ballots against president Berry
were taken by car to Robersville.
Tenn, the unions headquarters, by
ildillCQ 4(OOICya
However" recalls Thomas, the
road to Rogersville is through the
Tennessee mountains, and ON the
way, Berry's men waylaid the car
and shot the tires off it. Dooley
arrived at Rogersville on foot tht
next day.
When he got there, Berry well
coined him in a very sorrowful
voice. Why, brother Dooley,' he
said, you are late. We counted
the ballots yesterday. 1 am terri
bly, sorry but we can't count yours
under the bylaws"
Members of the union claim they
probably wouldn't have much more
luck today holding a recall election
against the present leaders of the
| union.

No one has been able thus far to
give any reason why any person
would go to such trouble to unearth
the bones of a man dead for the past
IS years. Several other persons are
buried in the graveyard there, ac-
cording to Centennial History of
Oakland recently published. Mr.. Tot
tens wife, Ann P, died in 1862 at
age of so and was buried there. Their
son William p, who died in 1887,
also is buried there, as is his wife
Della l. Totten who died March 6,
1915. Israel Totten, age "a and a
child of the Tower family are also

learned from Mrs. Ernest Liller and
Mrs. Mabel Sollars who were walk
ing the area recently.

Gas Production In
New Well Increases

The supply of natural gas from the
well on the Beachy farm, near Gort-
ner, has increased greatly since last
weeks report until at present it is
producing almost half a million cubic
feet of gas each 24-hour period, ac-
cording to officials.
The well actually "came in" last
Thursday after drilling reached a
depth of 1910 feet. At 1900 feet the
meter registered 125,OOO cubic feet
per day. Last week it was announced
plans were going forward to tie the
new we'll into the main lines and over
three miles of siX-inch pipe are to be
laid.
At 4,910 feet the well was "acid-
lied" which involved the placing of
5000 gallons of hydrochloric acid in
to the we'll The acid eats through the
limestone and enlarges the pool or
reservoir, thus increasing the pres
sure. A fire threatened the workings
there after the acid had been placed
in the well, but a gusher of water
extinguished the flames before any
damage.
