on state offices with the sole purpose
in mind to destroy iheiu?" the governor
continued.
''You nun wou!4 nut beliuve the
truth of that aggregation's activities
if X was in position to tell them to you.
1 tell you that bunch in the house took
their orders front the very start from
headquarters of the Republican party
in Oklahoma City and curried them
.--it unmercifully until the end.
"They shut their eyes to the welfare
...( the DeODle. they were actuated and
governed (solely by political prejudice; j
they showed no interest in public al-
ums whatsoever and gavt little cr no
heed to conservative Judgment tluit was
offered them from even members of
their own party."
Governor Robertson in his uiMros-s
intimated that he inclined toward ini-
tiation a uie bills 10 the iieiiplir rather
than calling a speciul session.
"The people of tin-' Male by whom
ur:d fo- whom it was citaied should
enter and stamp its criticism of this
action" he said 'The objection is
raii-Td that when people of Okluhumu
talk In millions it means defeat. Well
then if that is the attitude of this
tale .which I know it i not; if they
want to see their schools closed ppn.il
institutions thrown open eiomosynary
liavocln.-titu'.i.iiis shut down and gen-
eral havoc wrouslit in th system this
stale 1 1 -is fit wende-rfnlly built up let
tii'iu do It. U i'. a matter for them t"
Oecide in my opinion."
Applause lrrfftod the governor's re-
marks several times during his address.
Newspapers bo charged had failed to
publish the truth throughout the ses-
sion taking partisan and assumed po-
sitions on matters affecting their own
policies and not the people.
The governor concluded his nddrtss
with an appeal to the business men of
the state to think calmly ami conserva-
tively urge upon the people the neces-
sity for sane-mindedness and "the
state will recover from the black eye
that was given it through the divided
action of u biased party."

dar idea an to what must be done
It is a desperate situation. All
citbens should prepare for the worst."
The London Times unit other papers
believed the National Union of Railway
Men and the National Federation of
Transport Workers were embarrassed
at the obstinacy of the miners. The
J'aily Herald organ of labor said the
government "had banged and bolted
the door upon all hope of an honorable
tv-uU'iTjeni" and fiercely attacked Sir.
Lloyd George for "tricking the miners
no delay and definitely casting his
Jot with the bosses." The newspaper
called upon the "triple ulliance" to
"nand put."
The government today Issued the fol-
lowing bearing on the labor situation:
"4n the event kf the threatened ex-
tension of the stoppage of work the
government wishes to make it clear
that it will use the fullest powers of
the state to protect the workers who
remain at work In any services essen-
tial to the life of the community.
"In uny settlement which may he
reached the government will give its
:ui port in assuring that the position of
such workers shall not he prejudiced
as compared with their position before
the stoppage."
Today some observers found assur-
aiic that three days intervene before I
the strike becomes effective leaving op
portunlty for conference though the
luuiistnal sky was still dark.
The postponement of the triple al-
liance sympathetic strike yesterduy
created tin acute situation within the
labor camp ll was said that miners
with some show of feeling over this
seeming indication of weakness de-
clared a peremptory demand would be
made on their port this morning that
"they lav their cards on the table." and
declare finally whether they Intend to
strike and. If fo. when.

ELIMINATE POLITICS
(Continued from Page One)
an aud'tor to keep all the books of the state audited up to
the mirute at all times.
Arrange for the Oklahoma Press Association to elect a
publicity man to stay at the capital at all times and to gather
matter of the operation of the government to furnish to the
pres.? of the state.
Keep the legislative auditing and publicity departments
m operation every month of the year.
Subdivide the state into eleven legislative districts and into
five senatorial districts. Provide that party names and em-
blems shall not be used in the election of members of the
legislature.
This plan of state government would be a departure from
the old political plan but it is not freakish it could not result
in harm its influence would be beneficent it would give
protection to the interests of the state it would keep Okla-
homa growing and would conserve the resources of the state.
The withering hand of partisanism has collected enough
taxes in this country. A member of the United States con-
gress recently stated that members of that great law-making
body never ask what effect a given law will have upon the
prosperity of the nation but the question invariably asked is
"What effect will the measure have upon my party."
As for us. we would like to see Oklahoma set the nation
an example in eliminating politics from the state government
and the people are provided with an ideal time now while
the stale is absolutely bordering upon a state of anarchy
caused by the failure of the last legislature to render any
service to the state. e
If the blighting hand of politics were removed from'the
nation the taxes gathered would be reduced one-half and the
government would function better.
The men who would work for some such a plan as is
outlined here are men who love country better than party
and if any interest is manifested in the suggestion we will
push the matter until the best minds of the state have been
assembled and have written some such constitutional provision
as has been suggested here.
There are available enough "Minute Men" in Oklahoma
to circulate the required petitions to initiate the amendments.

ordinated. Co-operation must take the ;
place of wasteful strife. '
"Such action if intelligently carried '
forward will be in the public's interest
and. therefore must also be in the in
terest of the industry. The right type '
i f co-operation under liberal feadership !
offers the only metiiod of reconciling ;
the demand vf the industry for its own
prosperity and the demand of the pub- i
lie for adequate and economical cor ;
st ruction. Such a meeting of minds
such u reccgnization of common pur- ;
pose means fundamentally that the i
industry must organize itself as a pub- J
lie service frankly assuming the obli-
gallons of a group associated with the :
primary purpose of supplying the pub-
lie need." '
The Congress Proposes i
To make a scientific survey of tfe
needs of the Industry in workers and i f '
how these needs may be met; to studv I
the present methods of training and '
enlisting' personnel; and to disoovet
and correct the causes of the progress-
ive decline in the supply and quality of 1
workers in the industry.
To study the needs of the industry in
and the sources of supply of raw ma- i
terials and manufactured products; the
quantities of such now available "and '
to determine the national requirements
of construction in 1C21 and succeeding
years. '
Anions the problems to be consider- j
ed by the organization are listed the fol-
lowing: How shall abundant credit resources
be made available at reasonable cost to
th industry in order that it may func-
tion in satisfying public need?
How shall the Industry be led to adopt
uniform and equitable policy in bid-
ding and with respect to contract terms
and conditions?
How Is genuinely co-operative effort
by employers mid wage oarners (whe-
ther the wage earners be organized or
unorganized) to be substituted for the
antagonism which in the past hus
checked production?
The preliminary plans for the first
assembly of the National Congress of
Ruilding nnd Construction Industries
cilis for fifteen delegates from cuch
of various gTOUps of elements In the
industry general "contractors sub-contractors

manufacturers investment banker.
