Wabash
Baited By Strike
I rains
ST LOUIS March 15 (UP) ---
Some 3500 operating employes
I of the Wabash railroad walked
out today after a breakdown in
Speakieng negotiations and the railroad
halted all service over its six-
sta t e system
The strike was called at 6 A
Frankl y M but George II Sido Wabash
vice-president in charge of oper-
ations said all trains enroute at
that time would continue to their
By Frank Dobytu ' destinations
The walkout was the climax of
Iseveral months of negotiations
conducted by a federal mediator
itite Representative Bob Wall- between the unions representing
called the other night to in- engineers firemen conductors
m us that a public meeting is' and trainmen and the Wabash
be held tonight in Oklahoma system
y that many Edmondites Vice-president W F Donoghue
uld be interested in lof the Brotherhood of Railway
bill is now up' for proposal Trainmen said the strike was or-
the house that if passed will dered because the Unions were
uire that all property outside unable to obtain a settlement of
orporated city limits in Okla-!"long standing grievances invol-
na county be subject to zoning' ving time claims discipline and
trol i other working conditions"
State Representative Bob Wall-
ace called the other night to in-
form us that a public meeting is
to be held tonight in Oklahoma
City that many Edmondites
should be interested in
A bill is now up for proposal
in the house that if passed will
require that all property outside
incorporated city limits in Okla-
homa county be subject to zoning
control
Little publicity has been given
this bill and even less Is gener-
ally known about it here flow-
ever there are ardent propon-
ents on both sides of the ques
tion Some feel that this is simply
another measure designed to fur-
ther curb property rights of rural
landowners
Others believe that the greater
Oklahoma City metroNlitan
area is no for much greater ex-
pansion and that the future de—
velopment of this area should be
done on a county-wide scale
State Senator John Jarman's
entire column in today's Enter-
prise is devoted to this proposed
bill In it he asks that you send
your ideas on this proposal to
Wan (Address an letters to John
Jarman care of Edmond Publi:41-
ing Co)
Regardless of your opinion on
the subject all Oklahoma count-
fans have been invited to attend
this open discussion meting to-
night at 7:30 in the Central
school auditorium at 8th and Rob-'
Mson streets in Oklahoma City'
Edmond should be represented
and Bob has stated that he per-
sonally will be more than happy
to meet with any of our citizens
' prior to or at the meeting
In regard to today's city pri-
mary election and the general
eitection to Le held April 5 we'd
like to warn all qualified voters--'
and particularly those who have
not yet voted today--against in-
difference and complaoincy
What can indifference and com-
placency add up to? We'd like to
take the liberty of reprinting part
of an item from yesterday's Okla-
homa City Times concerning this:
"(I) Only the people can keep
a people's government alive
(2) The city government is
the closest of all governmental
units to the people
(3) Your vote if not cast
is dead
(4) Dead votes mean buried
democracy" -
If you are not interested enough
to vote for your officials certain-
ly you have no right to complain
against the type of governing you
receive
If you have not yet voted in
today's election there is still
time! For free rides to the polls
call 26 or 27 Polls do not close
until 7 p in
Mrs Hester Banzett called our
attention to a clipping she noticed
the other day It states that when
the white men discovered this
continent the Indians were run-
nin' it There were no taxes then
There was no national debt and
the women did all the work We
wonder why the pale faces thou-
ght they could improve on a sys-
tem like that!

Firemen Battle
Three Hours To
Control Flames
OAKLAND Cal March 15--
(UP)— A general alarm fire de-
vastated pier four of the Oak-
land Army Base early today roc-
keting scores of oil barrels sky-
ward to explode in flaming
bursts
The fire broke out at 12:02
A M (PST) Flames shooting
500 feet into the air were visible
for miles around San Francisco
Bay as firemen fought for three
hours before bringing them un-
der control
Only three minor casualties
were reported but Army and
fire department officials estimat-
ed the damage at $1000000
Twenty-nine fire engines and
nine fireboats fought the holo-
caust pumping streams of water
into the 2000-foot long ware-
house and into the bay to keep
the oil-slicked water from ignit-
ing The building was loaded with
Army Supplies destined for Oki-
nawa and Yokohama Officers
said they would have to check
manifests before determining the
exact loss
Origin of the fire was a mys-
tery Two stevedore gang 1tioseee
said they went through-the
house two minutes beforeM
found nothing amiss The -Wein
was sounded by third officer
James Hughes who spotted 2:
flames fro mthe bridge of
Army transport Sgt Geele'
Keathley
The Keathley ' arid antilheir
transport The Young Arnett
were endangered as the fire ell-
gulled the warehouse in a matter
of minutes Tugboats pulled them
from their docks
Huge barrels of oil ahot
feet over the heads of thouse2
of spectators attracted to
scene They exploded in the air
like rockets with a dull roar and
vivid flashes of flame One barrel
fell on a parked car
Some 50 army families fled
their quarters just east of the
pier Clangs of soldiers moved
automobiles parked nearby
It was the second biggest fire
in the history of Oakland In 19-
43 a blaze destroyed the Albers
Mill causing several million dol-

There's a land long famous in story
It has fountains of gleaming black gold
It was founded in romance and glory
By valiant conquistadors of old
The flag of old Spain Lillies of France
Were over its domain proudly flown
Until in the mystery of chance
Oklahoma came into its own
Oklahoma: Oklahoma
Fair land of enchantment to thee
We pledge devotion and honor
May you long be the home of the free
Fond nature smiles thy charm beguiles
