...current consumption rates-but despite the name they are scarcely "proven" in the sense that a proposition in Euclidean geometry is; they are really only estimates based on the best available evidence. To determine proven reserves, geologists study earth strata by drilling for rock and fluid samplings. Often calculations predict probable output by comparing it with production from similar fields already in operation. Trouble is, real output seldom matches the estimates...
...thing seems certain: the boycott will be a long fight. Union supporters predict a two to five year effort. Having battled this long, Stevens is unlikely to give in without a tough fight...
