SOME CHANCES OF THE
RAILROADS AND STRIKERS
GETTING TOGETHER
Chicago, July 12.—An agreement
reached Wednesday between railway
executives and heads of the "Big
Four" brotherhoods and the submis-
sion of a peace program to the roads
and their striking shopmen were seen
Wednesday night as a long step to-
ward ending the strike of approxi-
mately 400,000 shopmen.
A flat refusal to meet with B. M.
Jewell, head of the striking shopmen,
to discuss peace proposals was the
answer Wednesday night of railway
executives to a proposal made by Ben
W. Hooper, chariman of the United
States railroad labor board.
In a letter addressed to Hooper, the
executives declared that "the issue
raised is not one for consideration be-
tween the carriers and the represen-
tatives of the organized crafts on
strike except through the further or-
derly processes before the United
States railroad labor board."
The letter added, however, that "a
prompt recall of the strike order
would permit the resumption of for-
mer methods of conference and per-
mit the consideration of any matters
which representatives of employes
might desire to submit."
Asserting that the strike was a re-
fusal to accept the results of the ar-
bitration of the labor board, the letter
declared that no conference contin-
gent on the abandonment of the de-
cision of the board was "permissable
nor tolerable, because it would placo
the carriers participating there in ap-
parent co-operation with those on
strike in seeking to find means to sub-
vert the decision of the labor board."
STATE OFFICIALS ACT TO KEEP
ORDER IN STRIKE SITUATION
Three public officials in Oklahoma
City Monday took steps to protect the
public and the railroads against pos-
sible results from the railway strike,
Governor Robertson, Art L. Walker,
member of the corporation commis-
sion, and Alva McDonald, United
States marshal.
Thq governor sent special repre-
sentatives to Tulsa and Sapuipa anl
telegraphed officials at Tulsa and
Creek counties to keep him fully in-
formed as to measures taken by them
to deal as to measures taken by them
to deal with any possible violence.
(Announcement of the suspension of
two trains by the Missouri Pacific
railway in eastern Oklahoma because
of a fuel shortage was made by Walk-
er shortly after the corporation com-
mission had issued three citations
against the Katy railways concerning
the cutting off of trains.
McDonald obtained forty special
deputy marshals to protect property
of the Katy railway. His action fol-
lowed an order from Guy D. Goff, act-
ing assistant United States atotrney
general, intended to protect commerce
and the United States mails.
EMPLOYEES 1M ILI>I>G AND
LOAN INCREASES CAPITAL
The Employees Building and Loan
Association at the annual meeting in-
creased its capital stock from $2,000,-
000 to 13,000,000, on account of in-
crease of business.
A dividend of four and one-half per
cent, semi-annually was declared
after which an undivided profit of
$4,128.34 was left which will be used
later for the next semi-annual divi-
dend if required.
A reserve fund of $3931.47 was set
aside to take care of any emergency
that might arise.
There are 1800 stockholders in the
association.
IN BUSINESS AGAIN
Two Former Perkins Buslneess Men

the general mercantile business in
this city have urchased the McMillln
Bros, grocery and are starting again

a ranch near Guthrie.

SPECIAL POLAND CHINA SHOW
Ten Herds ot He Exhibited at the
Guthrie Free Fair.
The Logan County Free Fair Board,
cooperating with the Poland China
breeders of the County, have arranged
for a special litter show, to bo held in
connection with the Fair at Guthrie,
September 18-21, according to F .L.
Wenner, of Guthrie, who is Secretary.
A purse of $200 has been provided,
over and above the open class money
which will be awarded in ten prizes
on litters of four pigs from the same
farrow. The first prize will amount
to $40, while the tenth prize is $6.
The Fair Board and the promotion or-
ganization of the Poland China breed
each guarantee half of the purse.
According to Mr. J. R. Wiley, County
Agent, of Guthrie, at least ten herds
must be nominated before the Show is
assured, and he reports that he
has secured the nomination with a
$5 fee each from the following owners
of herds in the County: J. A. Purvi- !
ante & Sons, Dee Dugger, T. S. Smith,
J. L. Teeters, R. H. Austin & Sons, and
Clarence Hardman, of Guthrie; Chas.
G. Carr & Sons, and L. 13. Freeman, of
Pleasant Valley; F. 1). Scott, of Mul-
hall, and Geo. Dressel, of Navina.
The advantage of such a litter show,
according to Mr. Wiley, is that larger
numbers of swine are drawn to the
Fair, and new breeders are induced
to exhibit. All the animals exhibited
at the show must be spring pigs, pure-
bred, and recorded before the Fair.

The shell, which was owned by
Workman, was one which he had kept
as u souvenir an dused on the rear
pnocli to hold the door from closing.
It was believed to be "dead."
The children were playing croquet
in the back yard. The shell is believ-
ed to have either been set off by the
hot sun or to have been struck by one
of the victims witli a croquet mallet.
Windows in surrounding homes were
shattered by the explosion.
Practically all of the clothing was
blown off the bodies of the children.
Fragments of it lodged In trees and

know liis daughter was in the group
and was almost overcome with grief.
The bodies of the children were
found apparently at places near where
they had been standing in their cro-
quet game. Near them lay fragments
of the croquet mallets. Several of the
balls used in the game were blown
to bits and the wickets were torn
from the ground.

warning. Fragments of clothing were
suspended from trees and houses. Two
