Well Ruling
Continued From Page 2
A comprehensive ruling on all
disputed points in "37” cases is
expected after the Oct. 6 hearing,
because of the numerous allega-
tions of error by which the ap-
peal was carried to the State Su-
preme Court.
The ruling will be made in liti-
gation between the State Bail-
road Commi -lon and Century
Refining Company on one side
and Magnolia Petroleum Com-
pany on the other. The Magnolia
Company in it attacks validity of
a Railroad Commission order
permitting an oil well on a tract
of 1.6 acres, Which was a part of
a 41.7 acre tract when the State
Railroad Commission adopted its
general spacing order. The gen-
eral rule prohibits a well being
drilled within 330 feet of a prop-
erty line or within 660 f et of
another well. Tracts too small to
comply with this rule and yet
have a well have been allowed
drilling if the tract existed in its
present size when the rule was
adopted in Nov. 1919.

London and Paris were most
concerned over the possibility of
open German-Italian intervention,
which would wreck the non-inter-
vention agreement of 27 Nations
and permit any power to step in-
to the Spanish conflict, with the
consequent danger of a general
European war.
Britain and France were de-
termined to prevent such an out-
come, however, if humanly pos-
sible. Informed sources in Lon-
don said British officials believed
the two Dictators were bluffing
and would avoid open conflict if
given face-saving concessions
which Britain and France were
likely to make in the interests of
peace.

strikers and other steel strike
matters, declared that the CIO
and its leaders “are utterly ir-
responsible.”
"Republic Steel,” he said, “will
not sign a contract with irres-
ponsibe parties.”
Charging that the policy of the
CIO was to “rule or ruin Ameri-
can industry,” Girdler declared:
“I won’t sign a contract with
the CIO that isn’t required of me
by law and the law does not re-
quire me to sign a contract with
the CIO.”
As Girdler testified before the
postoffice committee, another
senate group—the education and
labor committee—approved a bill
designed to strengthen the pres-
ent Byrnes act prohibiting inter-
state transportation of strike-
breakers. The new measure would
make both the person transport-
ed and the persons doing the
transporting guilty of a federal
offense.
Girdler was asked by Sen. Al-
len J. Ellender what he would do
if the steel mediation board or-
dered a national labor relations
board election among his employes
and the employes voted for the
CIO.
“Would you still refuse to
sign?” Ellender asked.
“We still wouldn’t sign a con-
tract,” Girdler replied.
Elender asked it Girdler would
comply in case the national la-
bor relations board ruled that em-
ployers must sign contracts with
employe representatives.
