«- ‘PRIDAY, MARCH 28,°1919 HIGH RAILROAD WAGES NOT TO BE GUT, REPORT Interstate Commerce Commission 1s Authorized by Republican Bill to Fayor Mainten- ance of Scale. BY SNELL SMITH. WASHINGTON, March 25.—Pro- vision for maintaining high wages among railroad telegraph and tele- phone employes in order to meet the increased cost of living is made in a bill to be introduced at the beginning of the new Congress by Representa- tive John J. Esch, of Wisconsin, the new chairman of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce. The labor proviso is included in that part of the measure which re- lates to the enlarged powers of the interstate commerce commission. It stipulates “that hereafter in reach- ing its conclusion as to the reason- ableness of any rate, fare, charge, classification, regulation or practice, the commission shall take into con- sideration the increased cost of labor and other operating costs, in so far as they may become material, in any case under investigation.” That this will actually become law is considered by members of congress as certain. Each will play the most important part in framing recon- struction transportation _ legislation. He is expected to thus make way for protection to labor because he has the sympathy of his Republican col- leagues. In the senate it is likely that there will be no difficulty. There, Albert J. Gummins, of Iowa, is chair- man of the interstate commerce com- mittee. He it was who single-handed incorporated into the Adamson law the declaration that labor is not a commodity or article of commerce. In what will probably be known as {the most important piece of transpor-; tation legislation since the Hepburn) act, Esch provides for private owner-| ship under sweeping federal c rol, | not only of the railroads, but o the telegraph and telephone systems, oil pipe lines, and private cars owned by the meat packers.

The dullness in some sec-| tions was of’set by good completions in others. It is noticeable in the reports, that the operators are pre- paring for a very active year. Wild- cat work is increasing or being pre- pared for more extensively than ever before. The increased number of ac- tive cohcerns which has entered the business, added to the old line com- panies, promises an unusually large | development during 1919, and the | testing of many sections where no, wells have hitherto been drilled. Wyo- | ming, southern Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Louisirna will be the more active states, with cons‘derable new tion. Illinois leads in the value of construction contemplated, with $225,574,476. New York is second with $164,312,841, and Ohio is third with $140,918,206.

North Texas had several good wells to report the past week.

In the Duke pool the Tex-Pen Oil Co.’s No. 1 Knowles was drilled three feet deeper and responded with an out- put at the rate of 10,000 barrels. At} the close of the week there were three | wells estimated to be making better | than 8,000 barrels each in the Ranger | district. Oklahoma had an uneventful week so far as large wells were concerned. The best discovery was one starting at 900 barrels in Okmulgee county. None of the Kansas_ wildcats reached a_.definite conclusion as to their worth. Work is active in sever- al localities, and from the number of ventures under way some important results should be expected. Several rood gas wells were completed in the state.
