Locations for eight proposed

around the H. 'A. Stebbinger

county, credited with coring
28 feet of oil sand to indicate a

casing for pro-
duetkra test
With total depth of 6,099
feet the wildcat, three fourths
of a mile southwest of the op-
erator’s gas-distillate produc-
er, topped saturation around
8,071 feet, some reports said,
while others credited it with
picking up pay at 5,060. The
well previously had reported
show of gas and distillate at
■1,890 feet.
The oil saturation was re-
ported to be 60 per cent and
pay was said to be dark in
color and very, porous.------
With elevation of 205 feet,
operators logged top of mas-
sive anhydrite at 4,628 feet
and base at 4,836. On top of
anyhdrite well was reported
by some sources to be check-
ing nine feet lower than the
No. 1, although other reports
credited it with being high.
Four of the locations were
made by M. L. Stephens, Cen-
ter independent operator.
Stephens said he marked site
for No. 1 M. V. Williams in
the S. O. Pennington survey,
one-quarter mile southwest of
the test; for No. 1 MeDaw,
Mannon Smith survey, three
fourths of a mile northwest,
and Nos. 1 and 2 McQuerry.

west.

Washington, April 21.—By
its unanimous decision uphold-
ing the Constitutionality of the
Wagner Labor Relations Act,
the Supreme Court of the
United States confirmed the
right of Labor not only to bar-
gain collectively on questions
of hours and wages and other
matters, but to intrust the bar-
gaining to a single organiza-
tion which shall represent all
employees of any given em-
ployer. The decision is far-
reaching in its effects and im-
plications. Not alone in Labor
matters, but in its possible ef-
fect upon the present issue
raised by the President’s re-
quest for power to name addi-
tional justices and so “liber-
alize” the Supreme Court, this
decision is regarded here as
the most important since the
invalidation by the Court of
NRA and AAA.
Five cases in which the Na-
tional .Labor Relations Act was
in question were decided. The
controlling decision, on which
the Court was unanimous, held
that a business clearly engaged
in interstate commerce must
permit its employees to organ-
ize and to elect a Labor organ-
ization of their own choosing
to represent all employees as
their sole bargaining agent. In
case of refusal of an employer
to bargain under such condi-
tions, the workers can appeal
to the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, which is required
to conduct an investigation
and then issue orders based
upon the facts disclosed.
Only the workers can in-
voke the Labor Relations Act.
Employers have no recourse
but to accept the Board’s rul-
ings. If the majority of their
employees vote to elect Mr.
Lewis' C. L O., or any union
of the Federation of Labor, as
their sole representative in
negotiations with the employ-
ers, then employers are bound
to recognize the outside Un-
ion. On the other hand, if a
majority of the workers de-
cide on their own “company
union” as their representative,
then any outside union is bar-
red from acting for any em-
ployee or group of employees.
The principle of the law is that
there mc3t be but one union
organization recognized for
any particular industry or bus-
iness establishment. Moreover,
employers are punishable un-
der the law if they interfere
with union activities, attempt
to influence union elections, on
dismiss a worker for union ac-
tivities.
Of the five decisions uphold-
ing the Labor Act, the Court
was divided, five to four, in
four cases. The issue in those
cases was not, however, the
right of the Federal govern-
ment to prescribe rules for
Labor negotiations, but wheth-
er in these four eases inter-
state commerce was involved.
Justices Roberts, Stone, Bran
deis and Cardozo agreed with
Chief Justice Hughes in broad-
ening the interpretation of in-
terstate commerce, so that the
unanimous decision upholding
the Act in interstate commerce
applied to all five cases.

whereas the average staple
length for the entire United
States crop was 15.58 six-
teenths inch for 1934 and
15.47 sixteenths inch for
1985.” said E. A. Miller,
agronomist of the Texas Exten-
sion Service, in quoting from a
recent publication of the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Econom-
ics. t
The publication, a 6-page
study entitled “Quality of
Texas Cotton, Crops of 1928-
35,” contains material as-
sembled hi cooperation with
the Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station.
“For each year of the six-
year period 1928-33, the av-
erage staple length of cotton
produced in Texas was shorter
than that of cotton produced
in the entire Cotton Belt,”
Miller continued. The average
staple for Texas during the
period was 15.34 sixteenths
inch while the average for the
entire Cotton Belt was 15.32
sixteenths inch.
“The difference in the
length of staple may not look
like so much when expressed
in terms of sixteenths of an
inch, but in dollars it repre-
sents an annual loss which
run3 into millions.”
Since the advent of the boil
weevil, Texas cotton has
gradually lowered in staple
length, Miller pointed out. Not
only is this eotton produced in
competition with foreign conn-
tries using cheap labor, but
also any continued production
of cotton of sneh short staple
will necessarily be reflected in
a lowering of exports. In 1936
nearly 61 per cent of the Texas
cotton crop was less tender-
able on staple and 5 per cent
d grade.
That
t Texas is paying more
attention to improving the
length of its staple is indicated
by the interest farmers, 4-H
clnb boys, ginners, bankers,
merchants, brokers, and oth-
ers connected with or affected
by the cotton industry are
showing in the situation in
1937. “The contests being
sponsored for both farmers
and clnb boys in production of
staple cotton may be the turn-
ing point in the Texas cotton
picture ” said Miller.
