CARMEN LOST LABOR AID
, Strike Ended; Cars to Be Operated
Outsiders.
Muskogee.—The central labor union
of Muskogee ended the street
car strike which has been in effect'
since May 30, by withdrawing their
support from the carmen's union. The
cars will now be operated by members
outside the carmen's union and united
labor throughout the city will advise
all union men to patronize the com-
pany.
The carmen agreed to accept one
contract drawn by the national organ-
izer of the amalgamated street car
men's union, and then repudiated the
contract and charged the organizer
and their own attorney of selling out.
An arbitration board was then se-
lected by the unions, the traction
company and the governor. The
board made its findings, compromiz
ing the difference between the com-
pany and the men, and the men went
to work for one week and struck
again.

gee then made an investigation and
succeeded in obtaining further con-
cessions from the company. The
union men of the city approved the
contract as a fair one and indorsed
it. President Jess Green, of the car-
men's union, then repudiated labor's
action by refusing to go back to work.
Labor leaders promptly voted to
withdraw further support from the
street car union.

Tulsa—The crisis in Tulsa's police
situation has been further heightened
by the failure of the voters to indorse
an extra 2-mill levy which will reduce
the city revenues approximately ?iuu.-
000 for the year. The levy for this
year will be 6 mills against 8 mills
last year and the demands for funds
are far greater now than then owing
to the increased cost of everything
and the rapid growth of the city.
With this curtailment of revenues,
the police department will not be able
to secure the money it had hoped
would enable it to increase the pay of
Its employes. An increase in pay and
shorter hours had been the demands
of the policemen's union whose mem-
bers have been out on strike several

probably would be necessary to dis-
charge a number of clerks f-om the
various city departments and possibly
discontinue one of the fire station*.

Formal investigation of the ice busi-
ness all over the state by the corpora-
tion commission may result from the
scattered complaints from a score of
small towns in as many counties, re-
garding shortage and high prices
which were considered informally by
the commissioners.
Approximately 5,000 domestic cor-
porations in Oklahoma are facing for-
feiture of their charters and the pay-

M E Trapp, lieutenant governor,
today paroled Lon Myers, of Custer
county, who was convicted m AprU, |
1918 of setting fire to a house with in-
tent'to defraud an insurance company.
He was sentenced to serve a four-year
term.
A writ of mandamus, compelling F.
C Carter, state auditor, to grant a sal-
ary warant to Thomas H. Owen, a jus-
tice of the supreme court was denied
by District Judge George W. Clark.
Owen's attorneys gave notice of ap-
peal following the decision. The case
is the result of the refusal of Carter to
pay Owen s claim for his salary for
he month of July, the elaim calling
for $500. According to House Bill 290,
passed March 10, 1919, salaries of the
supreme court justices were set a
$500 a month or $6,000 a year, but
Carter has maintained that Owen was I
in office prior to the passage of that
bill and his salary will remain at thi
old rate.
"Floral Ru-'fians."
Primroses, which are now adding to
the color of London streets, were tak-
en by Ituskln for his type of "flowers
of gracious breeding," and they are
invariably represented by poets as
floral weaklings. This is strange for
it is all quite contrary to the facts
in nature.
Primroses are really floral ruffian..
to which they owe their "survival" in
the fierce "struggle for existence
among wild flowers. They are hardy

heights throughout Europe and Asia,

Best Way to Sleep Well.
The ever genial "Dagonet," who says
"there is a good way to lie in bed, and
a had way," will have to be careful or
he will reawaken an old medical con-
troversy. "It is better," says "Dag-
onet," "to He on your right side than
your left. This gives more freedom
for the action of the heart.
Now, Pye Chavese, in his famous
"Advice to a Mother," has laid it down
that you will improve both the health
and figure of a child if you train him
to change about—"on the right side
one night, on the left another, and oc-
casionally on his back.' ..

different views.—London Chrouicle.

HAD AN EYE TO THE FUTURE
Farmer May Not Have Known Much
About Music, but He Was a -
Bear on Economy.
A hard-working farmer In Ohio had
sent his son to a good school of music
so that he might receive the best in-
struction from the beginning. It was
neceesarv to buy a violin for him, but
he was such a little chap that Ms
teacher thought that a so-called half
violin" would do. The father, whose
resources had been badly taxed, was
loath to part with the money for the
instrument, but finally did so.
The lad made rapid progress, and
b<*ame so proficient that a half-violin
was no longer good enough for him.
: \zaln he went to the music store with
ids father, to whom the salesman
I showed the entire stock of violins The
parent was apparently dissatifled
1 with all of them, and his gaze wan-
dered around the shop seeking for
something better. Finally he saw a
"tS'w. that hlg violin there,"
*14 he, as a smile ot satisfaction
unread over his countenance. The
boy won't outgrow that right away.

give for being poor.
