FDH CONFERENCE
President Chamber of Comemrce
Point3 Out Views On Proposed
Suite Meeting of Employer
and Employe.
LETTER IN REPLY TO
REQUEST OF CONNALLY
Purpose of Meeting Is to Try Perfect
Organization to Stop Strikes and
Lockout In Induotral
Centers.
Tilts Chiekushu Chamber ot Com-
merce; will not ho ml H representative
Id tin- labor meeting which is to be
liclil in Oklahoma City on February
1 !.
This was mailt! plain In u lctelr ad-
dressed by Alger :1elton president of
tlit' organization to Claude Connally
ccinmisisoner of labor. The letter
was in reply to a coinuiiiuicalion Air.
Ci.mnally in which the purpose of the
t.tale-whlo mooting ' was outlined as
an effort to form an organization to
hvrdle any industrial crisis such as
strikes and lockouts. The reason
given by Mr. Mellon as president of
the Chiekasha Chamber of Commerce
for not sending a representative to
tli-j conference is pointed out in his
leiter which is as follows:
We are in receipt of your letter
inviting this organiz lion to communi-
(.'!! with the mayor of this city the
trades and labor council and other
labor organiza lions with reference t
a proposed meet nit; at Oklahoma City
February 11 and in which yon re-
quest us to advise whether or not this j
organization will be represented at
the conference.
"We acne with you that something
Hurt be done to slop strikes and
lockouts hut do not believe that any
el it Km lo this problein can be
vc;! cd out at a conference of direc-
tor; of labor organizations and pub-
lie i.i'i'icials. We doubt seiiously if
any voiuntiry organization can be
formed which can provide machinery
for the elimination of this unneees- .
sarv condition.
' It occurs to us that in recent
strikes and lock-outs and controver-
sies between employer an driuployee
both classes have lost sight of the
ri:hts of the general public ami that
the employer looks only to bis inter-
i"!is an dthe employee looks only to
hi ! Interests.
"The view that we take of the mat-
ter is that a commercial organiza-
tion represents the public in general;
and does not. reteesenl either of these;
clasf.es; that is. a commercial organi-
zation represents neither ( mployers ;
or employee but is an organization
representing the general public. For
thi.1 riason this organization is not
inclined to interc-l itself in eitlii r of
these classes; that is .either employ-
er or cmpluye and therefore "would
not. care to be represented ut the con-
fen m e of either ( lass.
"II a conference in which represen-'
t.ttics ot'the employer class represen-
tatives of the employee class and rep-
resent at ies of the general public that
class of the people more vitally con-
ceriied in the results could be ar-
ranged for (lie purpose of formulat-
ing some reasonable definite plan to
h enacted into a law preventing a
recurrence of strikes and lock-outs or
either labor disturbances this organi-
zation would be glad to send a repre-
sentative to such conference.
"We express the opinion that no so
inlion of this question will be made
ii -t i 1 it is solved by the general pub-
lie." 'QUAKES IN NORTHWEST

This rig is now being constructed

tuna drilled a dry hole over lloutl feet
deep in section "ii-lMu practically a
mile to the south. The Anadarko
people have a. good following as to in-
leiest for the reason that the well
