The title, like many others that have become everyday language in this derrick dotted country, refers to any one who performs rough, un- skilled labor. There are no teamsters in the oil flelds. They are “skinners.” Under the skinner is the “swamper,” who cor- responds to a truck or mule driver’s helper. As a sort of straw boss there is the “pusher,” whose job is to see that things are done. A “swivel neck” is a driller on a ro- tary drill. There are two kinds of *hounds,” the “lease hound,” who tra- vels around obtaining leases on likely Jooking land, and the “rock hound,” who is a geologist. “‘Line workers” in- clude the surveyor, right-of-way man, pipe layer, ditch digger and the painter. | but that the makers | Mexican Border Town Holds to | @ .
