Washington, July 24.—Former Pres-
ident Wm. H. Taft, who has written
several Republican senators suggest-
ing reservations to the peace treaty
whicq might be acceptable to both
sides, today opened correspondence on
the subject with prominent Democratic
senators, including Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska.
Encouraged by Mr. Taft’s letters, the
Republicans increased their activity
today to bring both sides together on
interpretative reservations so that the
league of nations may be accepted
without vital modification.
Mr. Taft’s communication to Senator
Hitchcock was not made public, but
it is understood to be similar to those
sent to the Republicans.
Senator Htichcock and other admin-
istration leaders declare that for the
present, at least, they will continue
their efforts for ratification without
reservations.

' “Just paste this in youi*hat, and remind us of it in about eighteen months—“The
four counties, Eastland, Stephens, Callahan and Shackelford, in 1920 will be the great-
est high grade oil field in the world.”
Eastland and Stephens already have the big oil wells, and leases are extremely
high. Callahan and Shackelford, their next door neighbors to the west, are dotted all
over with derricks—just now in the development stage. If the big companies ana
large successful oil operators think enough of these counties to spend from $50,000 to
$500,000 to test it out, they certainly believe they are going to get oil.. .The geology is
very encouraging.
We believe you will get a good run for your money, if you tie on to a few acres in
the midst of this development. The prices are yet nominal. When the oil comes, you
know it is then a rich man’s game tojray leases- They are then glad to pay you lib-
erally for the chance, nerve and patience you took with your lease.
We are exclusive agents for the Conrad Lease in Shackelford County. A deep test
is now drilling on this lease; wells are being drilled all around it. We sell tracts of 5
acres up, prices $12.50 to $50.00 per acre. A big gusher might make these prices $1,250
to $5,000 an acre.
As individuals we have put our cash in these leases, to hold until the wells get down,
have recommended and sold them to our friends, and if you want to play the oil game
we recommend it to you. For the average oil lease investor, as anything else, there is
a time to buy and a tim« to sell. A Conrad Lease at $12.50 to $50.00 per acre we con-
sider the time to buy.

London, June 30. — (Correspond-
ence)—Recent increases in wages of’
British workmen have been the sub-
ject of very serious debates by econ-
omists, employers and others as one
of the bed-rock problems of recon-
struction, in the sense that the na-
tion may stand or fall by it.
Some say the question which con-
fronts British industry is whether the
pendulum of wages may not. swing
so high that production for competi-
tion with rival nations will become
unprofitable and then impossible.
Higher wages for all,” is the de-
mand of the organized and unorgan-
ized workers. With it is the cry for
“shorter hours, better conditions of
living, freedom to meet the employer
on a plane of business equality, as
two business men meeting together.”
“Moi;e concentrated work, more in-
telligent work and we will trydo meet
you,” is the response from many em-
ployers.
The question has been seriously
raised here whether England in the
past has owed her preeminence in the
world’s industrial iharkets to under-
paid British labor. That view was
expressed by Frank Vanderlip, New
York banker, when he returned to
America a few weeks ago after spend-
ing several months in Europe.
There are shrewd business men
who contend that British labor has
not been cheap, but considered solely
as an item in the cost of production
has been relatively costly when com-
pared with the labor of the United
States.
The topic came forward at a re-
cent informal gathering in London of
American and British captains of in-
dustry. Some were men who com-
mand great enterprises; who think in
terms of millions of pounds and bri-
gades of workmen. Their talk dealt
with the iron and steel productions,
shipbuilding, the various industries
and manufactures of machinery, mo-
tors, sewing machines and the like.
The consensus of opinion among
them seemed to be that the average
skilled English workman of pre-war
times, paid a small wage, got more
money for what he did than the av-
erage American artisan, that the la-
bor cost of producing commodities in
this country was greater than for
producing similar goods in the United
States.
Limitation of output by trades un-
ions and obstruction against labor
saving machinery, not lack of ability,
were held to be the chief reasons for
smaller results by British working-
men. “Speed up the work and you
throw some of us into the street; and
more labor saving machines and more
men out of work to be supported by
union funds,” was the labor point of
view.
There is still another factor, the
cost of beer, and that is rather a del-
icate question in some quarters. “If
the United States goes dry, then God
save England,” exclaimed a British
cabinet minister discussing the in-
dustrial outlook.
The beer item is considered by
some economists a relatively heavy
one in the personal budget of the
mass of British workingmen and an
item that cannot be left out of the
leckoning in striking a balance for
comparison of the workers of Eng-
land with those of America.
However, stands the dictum that
^England owed her past trade supre-
macy to underpaid labor, there are
many observers here today who de-
clare the outlook now is in the oppo-
site direction.
