Committee's Report to State
Federation ot Labor De-
scribes Activities During the
Last Session of Lawmakers
Here.
SHAWNEE. Sept. 19.—Character-
ising the Eighth Oklahoma leglsla-
ture aa tho "moot reactionary legis-
lature that ha* assembled since
statehood," the legislative committee
of the Oklahoma State Federation of
Uihor presented Ih report Monday to
delegates at the annual conven-
tion of the federation now in ses-
sion at Shawnee.
An outstanding feature of the re-
port is the atatement that tho com-
mittee of the State Federation of
Labor worked shoulder to shoulder
with the legislative representatives
from the Farmers' I'nlon, Hallway
Brotherhoods, Mine Workers and the
State Council of Carponters.
Anti-Labor Hill* Drawn.
The Blghth leglalature convened
a time when the no-called 'open-
shop* movement was at its height
snd labor in Oklahoma was com-
pelled to meet an organized effort to
limit, and in some cases destroy en-
tirely the right of organization," the
report points out.
In line with this movement Sen-
ator Leedy of Kills county presente.1
many anti-labor bills, all of whcli
were defeated through prompt co-
ordinated action by the leglslativo
committees of farmers ami city
workers, according to the report.
The commltteo points to the defeat
of tho Industrial Court bill, and the
onspiracy bill Introduced by Sena-
tor Leedy as evidence of its activity
in defeating two measures, which
nought to deny to labor thoso rights
which aro the foundation upon which
it has built its organization.
Hostile Measures Beaten.
In view of the wave of reaction the
labor representatives were opposed
to the attempts to call a new consti-
tutional convention and succeeded in
defeating a bill designed to bring
about a convention at this time, the
report points out.
Discriminatory bills relating to the
exemptions of workers in suits to
garnishee their wages were defeated
as was a bill to abolish the depart-
ment of labor, and a bill to repeal
tho eight hour day required on pub
lie roads, It is recounted.
Threo mining laws were defeated
by the legislature, two of which were
proposed by the Oklahoma coal op-
erators and one by the mine workers
The operators were successful In de-
feating a bill Introduced by the mine
workers' representatives regarding
electrical equipment which would
render the mine* more safe, the re-
port states.
"Should Feel Gratified."
Other progressive measures backed
by the Federation committee were
also defeated, it is shown, Including
a bill for the establishment of a
women's bureau in tho Department
of Labor, an eight hour day for wom-
en and some less Important legisla-
tion.
"Neither the official record nor a
report of this kind can convey the
actual workings of the eighth legls-
lautre," the report states. "The pre-
sesaion forecasts that personal and
partisan politics were to be the dom-
inating influence were fully borne
out before its work had fairly be-
gun. "
The report sots forth that organ-
ized labor should feel gratified that
it was able, under the existing cir-
cumstances, to defeat a program of
legislation designed to deatroy the
right of effective organization as well
aa other proposed laws Intended to
weuken and in some cases repeal pro-
tective lawa now In effect.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—(By U. P.)
W. E. D. Stokes, millionaire hotel
I man, wan refused a divorce today
from Helen Elwood Stokes.
The court, however, granted Mrs.
Stokes an Interlocutory decree on her
counter complaint.
The question of alimony was not
settled in the decision handed down
by Justice Finch.
Stokes' divorce artion has been
under consideration In the supreme
court since the taking of testimony
wes finished, several months ago.
The cast: was one of the most sen-
sational in the history of New York.
Stokes, owner of several big hotels,
demanded a divorce, naming a num-
ber of co-renpondonts. He produced
witnesses to swear that Mrs. Stokes
had been familiar with a number of
men.
The wife, in her defense, declared
that Stokes' charges tyere a "frame-
up"' and on her part, alleged that the I
who themselves flatly denied that
they had had improper relations
with her.
She declared her husband had
plotted to divorce her, force her to
surreuder her dower rights and ob-
tain custody of their two children,
James, 5, and Helen Muriet, 4.
Threatened Foul Means.
Mrs. Stokes declared her husband
had told her he would divorce her
"by fair means or foul." Further-
more, she said he forced her to sign
various papers, which she feared
later were documents signing away
her rights to valuable property.
Stokes, she alleged, had so many
women loitering around his rooms
that she was afraid to go out into
the corridor for fear they would at-
tack her.
She quoted him as saying some of
the women would throw acid on him
and on one occasion, she said, he
came Into the house with arid on
... Jtl ... I his clothes, saying a woman' had
uu unduly familiar with I
many women.

YOUR HEALTH
Just What Will Aid You
i Getting Rid of Dandruff
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
Commissioner of Health, New York City
CERTAIN diseases or conditions seem to be the stllv
iect of a tremendous amount of discussion,
formation, and, so far as care is concerned, of dis-
appointment. t
Perhaps more has been written and said aboui
dandruff than about any other physical ailment.
To my mind, most of this discussion is idle, cer-
tainly purely speculative, and very poorly founded. Per-
haps what I shall say win not help much, but I hope to
give you a few useful suggestions regarding dandruff.
Dandruff is the most common and most'widespread
of all the diseases attacking the skin. It is known to

The labor situation is analyzed by
Fenton and many enlightening facts
brought out as to labor's growth.
There are but three states exceed-
ing Oklahoma in the number of cen-
tral labor bodies organized. These
are Illinois, Indiana and California.
There are five central bodies in Ok-
lahoma, Indiana and Illinois having
seven each and California six, ac-
cording to the report.
Farmers With Labor.
In the past year the total number
of local unions affiliated with the
State Federation has increased to
370, a gain of 60. The organization
campaign will be pushed even more
energetically iu the coming year, the
report avers.
A page of the report is devoted to
the co-operation between the State
Federation of Labor and the Farmers'
Union.
"There is no diversity in interests
of the farmers and industrial work-
ers," says Fenton. 'The process of
deflation has been directed against
both. It is only through their joint
efforts that existing conditions may
be remedied."
Encouragement is expressed over
the rapid growth of a labor press in
the state and the need for strength-
ening it is emphasized.
Unity Demonstrated.
In conclusion the report declares-
that the year just closed has seen
the open shop movement, liberally fi-
nanced, reach the height of its ef-
fectiveness, and then lose the hold it
had gained on public confidence
without meeting its objective.
"This period has also witnessed
a most remarkable demonstration of
the unity of labor," says Fenton.
"With millions out of employment
and with other difficult problems to
meet, organized labor in this state
and throughout the country has
come through these trying times
with its ranks intact and more de-
termined to give greater effect to its
constructive principles in the fu-
ture."
Fenton Confident.
Urging the unionists to reach the
unorganized workers and bring them
into the union ranks, Fenton pro-
poses a closer relationship between
all branches of labor.
"I am confident," asserts Fenton.
"that this convention will meet its
responsibilities in accord with the
splendid spirit of unity among the
membership of all affiliated organiza-
tions and that the program and pol-
icies adopted will result In the con-
tinued progress and greater achieve-
ments of organized labor in the
state."

End Problem.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ID.—(By U.
P.)—The issue of the return by
Japan of Shantung to China may
Boon be forced to a "show-down," it
was indicated today.
These developments stood out in
the Shantung question:
1—China, it is Indicated authorita-
tively, will refuse to accept the re-
cent Japanese proposals for return-
ing Shantung.
2—Japan, it is believed, may as-
sume an attitude that she is justi-
fied in retaining control of Shan-
tung if China rejects the Japanese
proposals.
China Is believed anxious to bring
the question up in the Washington
conference on limitation of arma-
ment and Pacific and Far Eastern
problems Japan la more anxious
that it be kept out.
Secretary of State Hughes, it is
known, would be grateful if there
could be a fair and Just settlement
of the Shantung problem. The prob-
lems, it is said, may be well taken
up by the conference.
If China refuses the Japanese pro-
posals, Japan may notify the United
States that it can not consent to a
discussion of the matter in the con-
ference.
Chinese Minister Sze and Japanese
Ambassador Shidehara, here have
kept the state department informed
on the attitude of their respective
governments on the question every
since the Japanese proposals were
made. While Hughes is believed to
be maintaining a neutral attitude, he
may informally use his good offices
in conversations with these two
countries to an agreement.

Shampoo Secrets.
In washing your hair use a good soap.
There are so-called "hard water -oaps
made to form a good lather with hard
water. Wet your hair, work up a good
lather, rub It Into your scalp with the
ends of your Angers, and then rinse It
out Having done this well, repeat 'he
process at once. The second washing
probably will rut the grease and take
away the scales.
The secret of the successful shampoo
lies In the thoroughness of the rinsing.
Tou should use an abundance of water-
gallons of water. Unless the soap Is en-
