And if the California oil industry collapses the whole. coast will be hit. California is now controlling the national crude oil situa- tion.. Because of the tremendous production here, prices all over are being affected. England is buying our oil at low ptices and holding back her oil for a day when prices will be higher.

They will rue the day they wasted oil thru overproduc- tion.” L. F. Sinclair, vice president of the Union Oil company, dectares that steps should be taken to curtail oil. “Southern California has three of the most marvelous oil fields in the world—Santa Fe Springs, Hunting. ton Beach and Signal Hill, with a Proven acreage of 2,600 acres, ‘The wells on these fields are now pro: ducing 525,000 barrels of ofl a day. “There are now 716 wells drilling, unding territory face a reat calam: ity.

Geman and Russian commun- ists are reported to have met at Bochum, in the Rubr valley, sev- eral days ago, and to have plan- ned the uprising at a confer- ence with Karl Radek, bolshevik organizer. The trouble started when strikers began entering food stores and an- nouncing that the supplies were con- fiveated for the hungry. There was some resistance which led to fight- ing, and in « short time the town was the scene of a battle. The com- munists sent squads thru the streets conducting thelr offensive in a sys- tematic manner. There was no or- ganized resistance at first, the “safety police” had all been deport- ed by the French army of occupa- tion. French troops watched the | rioting without attempting to inter- | fere. Later citizens organized and| fought back. Today the armed groups were watching each other, ready to resume hostilities at a moment's no- tice, Government reports from the dis- turbed centers at noon told of the tense quiét which grips the region. District miners have issued an ul- timatum for wage increases by to- night at Hamm. In Dortmund, scene of the first dis- order in the present uprising, metal workers are meeting to determine whether they should accept a 50 per cent wage increase, The situation in Essen is reported quiet. “FIXERS” GET BUT 6 MONTHS Sentence of six months in the county jail were imposed Friday by ‘ederal Judge Jeremiah Neterer on Martin Sholund and Guy Bonnar, after they had entered pleas of guilty to charges of accepting money in return for ‘fixing’ a fed- eral jury before which the defend. ants who gave them the money were being tried. ‘The two were arrested by federal department of justice agents April 10 as they were taking money from J. T. Stanton and A. McKenzie, on trial in federal court on charges of using the mails to defraud. Me- Kenzie and Stanton were later clear- ed of the charge, ‘The to men conyicted were sald to have approacired McKenzie and Stanton and promised te “fix” the jury sitting on the case, They asked $800 in payment for their work. The two men on trial at the time communicated the information to federal operatives and when the money was given, Bonnar and Sho- lund were arrested. Their sentence is said to be one of the lightest ever imposed for a crime. _ Story by Oct WELL, WHO IS HE ANO WHAT DOES HE WANT You WiTH A BILL, HE'S.
