THE HERALD SHOWS INJUS-
TICE OF MEN'S CLAIMS

Tanks Allowed Organization to
Control the Labor Situation and
Force Men to Submit to Demands
(This explanation as to the cause
of the big strike was written es-
pecially for the Sapulpa Herald and"
If used bj other papers should be
properly credited.)
Explanation of the cause of the
big strike in the oil fields known as
the strike of the bollermakers and
Iron Shipbuilders o t America who
were working and controlling the
tank work in the oil fields under a
sub-division of the union from which
they had no charter for such a sub-
division.
In regard to an article that came
out in the Tulsa World, saying that
the manufacturers accused tho strik-
ers of etriking for strawberries for
breakfast, I do not know that It can
be said that they did strike for
strawberries for breakfast but it can
be said that they did strike for an
unjust cause. They forced companies
to pay out big sums of money for
work which they did do^ and there-
by damaged the steel companies to
such an extent that they have made
very little profit, if any, on such con
tracts. That such things did occur
throughout most of the big Jobs in
most of the fields of Oklahoma, is a
fact to the best information that
the writer can get.
Strike for Ego*
By these conditions the manufac-
turers were unable to contract tanks
that they had figured on and were
forced to ask more money from the
producers for erecting said tanks, re-
gardless of what other prices they
had agreed upon. A few of these
strikes i was told by one of the su-
perintendents bad cost one company
In particular about $500.00 because
they were unable to purchase eggs
for breakfast, at one of their cauups,
that all the men at this camp refus
ferent occasions in which he is in
a position whereby he can produce
sufficient proof that such things did
occur and that some of tho permit
nun being a good fellow and one
of the boys, as the term might be,
spent his money freely, showed
them a good time or whooped it off
as the saying goes, was taken Into
their organization and Issued a card
when they had worked from sir to
eight weeks, and such other mem-
bers or permit men that worked
from three to six months and were
equally as good a workman, If not
better than some they had issued
cards and who did fill out applica-
tion blanks and tender their money
as their initiation fee and was turned
down, refused admittance In their or-
der, refused a card and told that the
charter was closed and that they
would not receive any more appli-
cants for membership. In the mean-
time they extended the time that ap-
prentices should work (or permit
men as the term might bo) from six
months to a year which time they
were compelled to work before they
would be admitted Into the organiza-
tion. They also raised the price of
initiation from $7.50 and $15 to $15
and $25 and passed a ruling that
they would Impose a fine of $50 on
any of their men who would sign
an application approving any permit
man becoming a member of their
order unless such members posi-
tively knew that such applicant had
worked one year at the business re-
gardless of his ability to perform
such work. By such a ruling they
forced and barred a great many
competent workmen from their or-
ganization and did permit men to
come from tho boiler shops, who
knew nothing about tank work, to
bump or take this work from such
permit men as has been described
in this section and thereby forced
the companies to employ such inex-
perienced boiler makers and help-
ers and to pay tho customary
wages while they were learning the
work, that the permit men had paid
their ten percent and their earnings

THE TEXAS IDEA
The Texas system gf taxing land,
as proposed in a bill in the present
legislature, is not far wrong. The bill
makee the prefatory stitfement that
tke farmer pays more than his just
*hare of the ta*es, and that the far-
mer who improves land adds values
to adjoining land unused and held
lor speculation purposes.
q To tax this improved land more
than tho unused land of original
equal value is to fine th* farmer for
employing labor and Increasing tho
value of the land of his whole com
munity.
A just tax on lanffs withheld from
use thus enabling more farmers to
own land and thus decrease tonnnnt
renting is believed to be a good plan
and this It Is proposed'to enact into
a law.
To carry out the above program
It is now proposed by legislation to
amend the constitution of the state.
other things that they demanded on account of a large
and which the general public will 'men coming from the
a-ree was almost outrageous and
unreasonable for the simple reason
that fresh eggs and luxuries that are
perishable are hard to keep on hand
in boarding houses and hotels In Ok-
lahoma. And one more fact still re-
mains—that In a "boom town" or a
"boom country," thero Is always a
short time when everything in the
way of eggs, butter and other pro-
duce are almost impossible to get
regardless of what you are willing
to pay.
Had to Stop Work
It was just such conditions and
such other conditions as turning
out inferior work that caused some
of the manufacturers to stop work
on the tanks entirely, for an Indef
inite time, until such conditions
could be arranged whereby they
might be able to make a reasonable
profit, or Interest on their Invest-
ment, as the terms might be? in con
structlng steel tanks.
'•Permit Men" Conditions
The conditions imposed on th 
permit men by the Boilermakers
union caused by the Rules and By-
laws of the Tulsa local and such
other local* as controlled the tank
work under the subdivision of the
boiler makers union, on which they
issued cards and recognized as boil
ermakers or boilermaker helpers
but known mostly as riveters, talk-
ers, fuller strikere. holders-on and
heaters, such members having the
right and preference over the per-
mit men, and some of the members
holding bollermakers cards and such
men holding such subdivision card
could not, as I have been informed,
go to a boilermaker shop and get
employment or be recognized as
competent workman at that class of
work, by such card and that such
locals as are controlling this class of
work forced men that were working
as permit men to pay ten percent
o| their wages which run over forty
cents a day. On some occasions it
run as high as $1.25 a day and
sometimes higher, and these men
were not allowed the privilege to
work and were told that they should
cut out such work or until such
t4mo as they couid prove beyond
a doubt they were competent to do
such work, at which time they would
be accepted in the Tank Builders
Union according to the rules and
regulations of their order an4 be re-
quired to pay tho initiation fee of
$7.50 for workmen known as helpers
and $15.00 for men known as rivet-
ers and calkers,* and that they did
issue cards and accept some permit
men as members of their order
when they had worked only six
months when they were not competent
to do the work and did Issue cards
to some such permit men In a much
shorter time than six months, and
the writer has been informed on dlf-
work was scarce at the shops and
the weather was nice and cool and
outdoor work was pleasant. Most
of the permit men were bumped off,
in most of the fields and was told
by the Stewards on the job and by
other members of the bollermakers
union to go and learn some other
kind of work or occupation because
their day at tank work was over.
Told to Learn Other Work
show hlf? ability as a workman. In
hit right to make a living, and to
other words the card was recogniz-
ed In preference to anything what-
ever.
Foreman and Superintendent's
Opinion
Foremen and superintendents of
construction have often remarked
in the hearing of the writer that the
best workmen they had all summer
long were permit men, and that
they had tried in every way to keep
such men on the works and pay
them full skilled labor wages. Re-
gardlesB of this condition these men
were at work at other employment
for the reason that the bollermakers
and card men had bumped them off
and taken their jobs. The foreman
stated that they had been forced by
the union to pay off these men and
take men from the shops who could
not do the work; and could not
stand the heat of weather nor the
hard work, and who did not know
how to do the work any moro than
farm boys who had never seen a
tank. I have an affidavit to the
above effect.
Independent Union Receives Notice
The Boilermakers union made no
concessions to the Independents un-
til it was learned that they had
formed the Independent Steel Tank
Builders Union and then they were
willing to make any concession pos-
sible to permit them to have mem-
bership In the Boilermakers Union,
and offered to pay their fare to Tul-
sa or any other place they wished
to join; pay their initiation fee,
and grant them a card free, if only
they would withdraw from the inde-
pendents and join the bollermakers.
In reply to the question, why have
the independents organized, and ask-
ed for a working agreement with
the companies, it is stated that this
was so that there would bo no pop
slbility of the charge of "scabbing"
and for the added reason that th'
members would be known as unfair,
and for the statements that had
been made that the companies would
during I atteml>t; to cut their wages after
work had been begun, which in one
instance was done, and for the reas-
on that statements had been made
to men on the work by a member
of the bollermakers union that a
certain member of the independents
had become a member of the boller-
makers union, and had a card in tho
latter organization, and had been
given $2,000 with which to break up
the independents organization.
to exist in the order which I claim
is ruinous to it.
Object is Just and Fair
The Independent Steel Tank Build-
ers union principles are just and
fair, and our object Is right and I
wiBh that all tank builders would con-^
sider this matter from the right
standpoint and end this strike be-
fore the companies have taught in-
experienced men and have flooded
the companies with inexperienced
workmen, as the chance Is that
work will soon be slack and there
will not be work enough for the
experienced men.
Posted P. O. and G. °as Fair
The Prairie Oil and Ga#s company,
now posted as fair by the Boilerma-
kers union was last year by the
same order posted as un-
fair, and the workmen told to stay
off the job. I am told that the com-
pany has not made any changes
whatever; that they will never rec-
ognize any union, and that it would
pay tho customary scale of wages,

About the Independents
In reply to the criticism of the In-
dependents will say our organization
is not completed yet, but we intend
to have everything more complete
than in any organization of a simil-
ar kind that I know anything about.
We Intend to have clubs and other
places for the benefit of the organ-
ization, and to use our money for
the present benefit of the members
instead of keeping it deposited in
the bank to uphold some big strike,
which we do not Intend to have, but
we are going to lay by a certain per-
cent of the income to use in emer-
gency cause.
Only those who come highly rec-
ommended will be able to get office
in the organization, and tho best of
leyal talent will bo employed to per
feet the organization.

Who are the Members
The Independent fiteel Tank build-
ers' Union is composed of men of
all classes of mechanics, laborers,
tool ifressers, miners, drillers, rail-
roayinon, brick masons, carpenters,
and all other organized laborers,
with a few exceptions, in some cas-
who have proven themselves capable
of performing the work they are re-
country was issuing cards at $7.50
to $15 on tho same conditions where
they proved that they were compe-
tent to do the work. Such cards that
were issued at Sapulpa and other
locals of the bollermakers union was
recognized and accepted by the Stew
ards on the tank work and that
such members were compelled to
transfer to some other local as
described but was given the Eame
protection and the same preference
that was allowed the members that
had worked a longer time and had
become members of the bollermak-
ers' union from other locals and had
paid the raise in initiation, to other
locals controling the tank work and
had complied with the rules and reg-
ulations of such locals.
Card Only Evidence of Ability
And on account ot such conditions
as existed in such locals between
the workmen classed as boilenuak-
ers and helpers, strife, dissatlsfac
tion and hard feelings was caused
in this way. A helper could be
forced to give up his Job to a new
member of the Boilermakers union
regardless of his ability. Some of
the men were forced to go back to
some other work and the companies
were Imposed on in employing men
that were not competent to do the
work, as these men were unable to
do the work. The foreman was not
allowed t<> change these men and
thereby caused much dissatisfaction
for the men and the companies* too.
Qualifications not Considered
The members of the union often
and emphatically stated that the
ganized labor until barred In th
manner above told and were forced
by reason of this organiza-
tion in retaliation In order to get
work. They prefer to work under
a contract or agreement, and to al
low the employers to have full con-
trol of the work.
Employers Thought Fair
We have every reason to believe
that the companies intend to be fair
and square with the men, and that
they are willing to pay them what
they earn. The rich oil producers
are willing to pay well for every-
thing they receive in the way of la-
bor or anything else but do object
to having to pay for something they
do not get,.
order in the hoilermakers union.
Companies Determined on Open Shop
It Is stated that the manufacturers
have determined to stand by the op
en shop, and to not enter Into any
agreements, but announce that they
will pay the customary scale of wag-
es, and that it is not their intention
to cut down wages, or to regulate
the hours, and will be fair with the
workmen, and are not going to put
themselves in position where the
workmen can be unfair with them,
nor will they permit any workman
to be barred from their work, or
compelled to pay a labor fee.
I am authrolzed to say that the
companies prefer that the boys who
are competent and who have not
been the cause of the trouble of the
past few weeks go back td work.
They Have not Acted Fairly
I submitted a copy of an open let
ter to be read to the lotal at Cush
That means an engine run is assign-,
ed to one crew or several crews,
and the definite earnings are there
for them to take If they choose, or
to leave for someone else if they
choose.
"Out of 5,412 passenger engineers
only 2876 worked the full month. Of
their total assigned mileage of 22,-
849,7.19 miles they left for some-
one else to perform 2,410,000 miles,
thus losing about 10 percent of their
possible earnings.
"Turning to the firemen, it is
shown by actual figures that those
in assigned passenger service laid
off and lost their pay for 17 percent
of the work offered to them; those
in freight service 22 percent; those
in mixed train service, 27 percent;
those in helper and pusher service
25 percent; those in yard service 25
percent and those in through or ir-
regular freight service 30 percent."
Charges by Grand Chief Stone of j
the engineers' brotlierhood that high
earnings shown for individual engi-
neers were the result of excessive
hours have been met by the railways
Investigation of the cases cited by
Mr. Stone was made by telegrams
sent at once to the divisions on
which the men worked.
An engineer on the Canadian-Pa-
cific who showed an average of
23 hours per day for 19 days with
earnings of $211 was found to have
worked actually 15 hours, but to
have been paid for 23 hours because
of being responsible for the engine
in construction work train service, j
Another engineer on the St. Paul
road, who was shown asjirunring
5.090 miles In one month, was found
to be working on a 36.6 mile run
for each of which runs 100 miles
was allowed under tho minimum day
rule. The actual mileage was only
1537 miles, consuming 5 hours daily
for which the engineer was paid
$329.65 in one month.
