CHEYENNE, Jan. 22.—All of the vast data, experience and regu- lations of the bureau of minés, department of the interior, will be avail- able to officials of the State of Wyoming if they care to take sters for | the conservation of the oil and gas was evident when messages to The Casper Tribune, in answer to an inquiry on the government’s stand, were received. ‘ i The Tribune's message to the Wash ington officials asked if. it isi not px Tact that the information and experi- ence of the Tureau of Mines regard- ing oil and gas production is at the disposal of state officials, and that the government is anxious to co-operate in every way with the state. The fol- lowing. are the replies received: Casper Tribune Feplying to your telegrams to sec- * retary of interior and director bu- reau of mines regarding Wyorhing state supervision and assistance of bureau of. mines, engineers are al- ways available to state authorities and bureau of mines is always glod to co-operate with states within Jim- its of its available funds. © Brireau of Mines has been délegated duty of supervising oil and gas ‘drilling and production on government owned lands and hopes to have engineers drilling in Wyoming ‘elds within next few months. At present Rocky co-operative. organization between Mountain Petrolextm association \ i ofl Companies ara DupeNtie Ths pur pose Is to gly advice on oi! indus- try in that region in matters of drill- ing and production. Suggest you get additiona) details from F. B. Tough, Bureau of Mines, Denver. BAIN, Acting Director: A message to F. B. Tough, Bureau of Mines, Denver, brought the follow- ing reply: i Casper Tribune: Bureau of Mines is interested in all state legislation leading toward con- servation, but since we have auth- ority only over government owned junds we would not be in conflict with proposed Wyoming legislation. ‘RED B. TOUGH, Yesterday when this information was placed before leaders who have been active in demanding laws regulating the oil and gas industry in the state it was conceded that little could be wained by enacting laws regarding land coming under government supervision, It was declared) however, that legisia- tion might be advisable in taking care of privately owned oil, land, and it ap- pears quite likely that steps. will be taken in this direction. ‘Two additional bills regulating the oil and gas industry appeared in. the house, but as yet have tot been intro- duced. Leaders of the conservative for are strongly advising against drastic legislation, fearing that such jaws will retard development in the state, They point out persistently that the government regulations take care of the majority of olf land in the state, and that legislation, if any, should be directed on private land only. The debate on the proper distribu- tion of the huge fund from the gov- ernment under the oil and gas leasing bill has done much to bring forcibly to the minds of the legislators the im- portance of the industry to the state. As a result it is quite safe to predict the defeat of any measore regarded as a handicap to ofl and produc- tion.

LONDON, Jan, 22.—Great Britain is on the verge of a new struggle hetween capital and labor. The i.itial skirmish was started over the wage reduction question. A world-wide cut in wages is inevitable, according to Lord Asquith, foremost British authority on industrial conditions. He declared today that prices would continue to fail and wages must follow as lower wages mean lower living cost, John Clynee, labor member of parlia- proposals for wage reduction. He Fourteen of Those; WYO., SATURDAY, JAN. 22, Arrested in Raids Here Released for’ Lack of Evidence . Ten Casper residents, accused of violation of the federal prohibi- tion law through the operation of ‘illicit’ stills and similar infringe ments, face trial-in the United States district court at Cheyenne on charges preferred by revenue agents and state officials who co-operated in| Sweeping raids which covered a period} of three days. Those against whom charges were filed and who were .bound for trial by United States’ Commissioner M. Pz | Wheeler are: John Wilis, H. A, MeGil-} very, Owen Grant, Carl Carlson, Thom- as Quinn,’ Frank Miller, William Me- Gabley, C..S. Vyeyana and BE. J. Bren- nan. One woman, Mrs. George Bush, Was among those acensed by federal agenta. f “All but three of the ten arrested were | able to furnish the $1,000 bond re quired to guarantee their appearance in Cheyenne.

The liquor will be stored in bonded warehouses until govern- ment permits are issued for its destruc: tion. It consists almost entirely of Moonshine of varlous kinds and qual- ity. That the ralds wére executed as a coniplete surprise to operators is shown by the fact that many were actively en. Baged at the business when apprehend- ed by the officers. At one house in East Casper was located one of the most complete plaints ever confiscated in this part of th® state. Nine barrels of mash were workingand complete equipment was: in active operation in running the daily quota of fourteen gallons of. “hOotch."
