FOR BOILER HEARING
Stnfe Labor Commissioner Claude
Connelly will go to Tulsa Wednes-
day night to consult with the MiU-
- continent Oil & (las company, con-
cerning application of the commis-
sioner's rules governing the use of
fuel in engines.
The rules of the American Society
of Engineers have been adopted by
i the labor commissioner. These rules
require boilers with over 15-pouud
pressure to use coal as a safety pro-
caution. Because of the isolated lo-
cation of the engines used by the
Mid-Continent Oil ^ Oas company,
exemption front the general rules
i are asked. Very few men are re-
quired around the company's en-
gines. it is said, in a letter to the
commissioner. .
The company will be given hear-
ing in Tulsa Thursday.
