1,000,000 Gallon Concrete Oil Tank at San Luis Obispo Burst
LOSS TO COMPANY
WILL BE SMALL
Earth Mound Around Reservoir
Prevents Petroleum
Escaping
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Nov. 29. — The
two great reinforced concrete reser
voir* built above ground for the Pro
daeerK' transportation company, with
a capacity of 1.000.000 - barrels each,
hare been completed and turned over
* to the company by the contractors. The
company did not await the completion
of the second reservoir, but proceeded
to fill the first one: in the meantime
th« second was finished. Oil was
turned Into No. 1 from an eight inch
pipe Hire carrying a large Ripply
brought from the famous Lakevlew
gusher in the California oil fields. The
ofl flowed into the tank at the rate of-
SCO barrels per hour and the flow •was
kept up until a few days ago. when
Th» first reservoir had been nearly;
filled. • •
The contractors after completing No.
2 returnefl to Los Angeles. During,
the buiMing of the tajiks they excited j
considerable interest and many people ;
came to see the work that had heen
done with reinforced concrete. At that !
time the work was regarded as stupen
dous and The army of men with teams
and srrape«-js at work within the walls
of one of fhe great structures gave the
observer an idea of how great they
were.
cover 13 vrnns
The two reservoirs <-over an area of
13 acres, bntii surrounded by a firewall
2* feet hisr'.i and with a width of
pfgbt feet on the top and at least 2ft
fe*-t at the Base. During their building
an army of men and horses was em
ployed./: \u25a0
As the oiljicared the top of the first
concrete reservoir leaks presented
themselves, but were calked and re
r«?red with asbestos and plaster, and ft
was helfeved the walls of the tank
would withstand the pressure of 996.
00 ft barrel;? of oil. But a roaring sound
was heard by tfie workmen and it was
found that the filled reservoir had
broken its wall by the pressure and
IC3 feet of the concrete work on one
end had been spread outward. The
wall of earth which had been piled up
during the time of its building now
came into good service, as it held the
escaping oil in check until • arrange
ments for it to be stored elsewhere
could be -made.
Gangs of men and teams were put
to wnrk to reinforce the firewall and
matters looked serious and for a. loss of
some of the oil, but thY contents were
saved.
i.rrTi.r: oir. -j,ost
As The second reservoir is on lower
ground than the broken one it was de
rided to drain the oil from it to the
new one that was yet to be used. The
oil ran by grr.vitv to the second tank
and the work of filling it from the
first one is now going on. To prevent
any escape in case the second reservoir
should break, the company -has had a
huge hank of earth thrown up in a
large circle around the two reservoirs
and thus will be safe j n holding the
oil. The two tanks are valued at
$2<;n.npft. and what the damage amounts
to in the first one will not be found
out until the oil has l.een taken from
It. Thus far little oil has <been lost
.except from seepage.
PRFSSIRK TS MOOTED QII2STION
Th«» tanks. It Is said, were built to
stnnd a pre^snre of 75.000 pounds to
the square foot, but others allege that
at the time the break occurred there
was only a pressure amounting to
43.000 pounds to thei square foot That
in a question that only the engineers
can s^ttlo.
With the present cold weather the oil
has become heavy and thick and runs
slowly, and it will consume some time
in filling No. J from No. i.
At Port San Luis, where oil ship
rn*M* are madA and which Is a short
distance from the tank farm, more
than, 6,000.000 barrels of oil have bee n
exported within the last year, which
gives an idea of the S j ze of thp . 01 ,
shipping business in this part of the
state.

LEAGUE TO BOOST
STATE'S PRODUCTS
"Made in California" Week to
Be Observed by Merchants
in February
"Made in California" week is to be
' observed under the auspices of the
Home Industry league February 20 to

der wax. to make'lt memorable in com
mercial and manufacturing circles. The
members of the league met at head
quarters in the Monadnock building
yesterday afternoon and committees
were appointed to carry out- the, ideas
of the organization.
During "Made in California", week
nothing but products manufactured in
this state : will be shown in the great
windows of the shopping centers. The
city has been divided Into districts;
'and prizes are to be offered for the best
window displays in each of the many
subdivisions.
In effect the Home Industry league
is planning a great street fair behind
show; windows and intends to make it a
comprehensive display of California
products.
In order to carry the campaign into
the homes of the city the board of edu
cation" will be asked to allow a com
mittee from the league t;o visit the
schools and address the children on the
subject of state manufactured Another
committee of manufacturers and retail
ers will address the women's clubs of
the city to bring before the shoppers
the merits of home industries.
D. J. Alberg, chairman of the league,
presided at; yesterday's meeting and
named the subcommittees.; '- Two dele
i gates from each of the S5 improvement
clubs of the city will "meet December
7 at the Mission promotion association's
headquarters.
R. L. Dunn is chairman of the press
and publicity committee andjie will be
in charge of the "boosting" end of the
trade carnival. The members of the
league believe that the idea, success
fully executed in New York, Chicago
and St. Louis,' will prove a. popular
feature of the winter busines season.
The exact program for "Made in Cal
ifornia" week has not yet been for
mulated. This will be announced after

UNIONISTS DON'T
WANT ORIENTALS
Western Labor Leaders Opposed
.. to Action Taken by
Body at St. Louis
Edited by O. M. BOYLE
Men prominent in
Ctw*d^^^counc;'.> ' labor circles in
this city were loth
to talk of the press from
St. Louis which stated that the Ameri
can federation of labor had gone on
record as favoring labor unions among
orientals. The only way to exclude
them from labor organizations, accord
ing to the published dispatch, t was to
exclude them from the country. The
inference was that if allowed to' land
and work for wages in this country
they were fit subjects to be organized
into labor bodies. The official action
of. the American federation of labor
on the subject is awaited with much
interest, not only in San Francisco, but
all over the Pacific coast.
The strike of the chauffeurs' union,
involving at .present about 40 men. is
the result \u25a0of the proprietors forcing
the chauffeurs to pay for; the gasoline
to drive the machines. This is claimed
by the men to be an imposition on
them. The wage of a union chauffeur
is 20 per cent of the earnings of his
machine, and it is said will -.not aver
age $3 per day of 13 hours.
At, the meeting qf; the local yester
day the .necessary committees were ap
pointed, and the local has decided, to
meet frequently during the /.trouble. '.\u25a0
5 The request that, the proprietors pay
for the power to drive the machines is
deemed reasonable by the labor coun
cil and the international brotherhood
of teamsters, and these organizations
are supporting the men. in their ' con
tention. Forcing the chauffeur to buy
gasoline is looked upon in labor cir
clesvery much like forcing the drivers';
of teams to pay for the horses' feed
and shoeing.
.Another meeting will be held Friday
night in . South San Francisco of the
newly formed brick, .tile and terra
cotta workers' union. The following
will be present to make addresses:
Charles Elder. W. I. Flagler and J. B.
Bowen. Permanent organization " will
be effected and officers elected.
Word was received while barbers'
union No. 148 was in session Monday
night that a member, William H. Fitz
gerald, had been shot and killed.' Al-.
Jhough he was not; in good standing
the local decided to give him decent
burial. The amendment :to the con
stitution, to hold elections in the day
time was defeated. Because Christmas
this year will be celebrated on Monday,
December 26. the election for officers
scheduled _ for that date has . been
changed to > Monday," December : 19;
Nominations will ; be x made at the meet
ings -on. December 5 and 12. Two more
places were- unionized* last week and
the, pickets removed. ; Tiiree candidates
