BID ADVOCATES LEASES.
Governor Instructed BY Interior
Department Not 10 Sign,
QUARANTINE BILL is VETOED.

I 4 +.
Guthrie, Okla, Mar. s3-Governor
Ferguson vetoed the quarantine bill
that was pissed by the last legislature.
His action in killing the measure was
prompted by instructions from the
interior department at Washington
telling him not to signit. The gov
ernor had expressed himself as being
in favor Of signing the bill and gave it
out that he would. The interior de-
partment said that the bill abrogated
leases made by the government in the
0toc Indian reservation and was
worthless. Ivy
Henry .. Asp, attorney for the Santa
Re at Guthrie, said that the principal
objection to the quarantine bill as
finally agreed upon and passed by the
Oklahoma legislature was that by
throwing an impossible line around
the Otoe and Missouri Indian reserva-
tons IT abrogated certain rights accru-
ingto cattlemen who had contracted
with the government for pasture with
in those reservations, and by reason of
that fact was clearly unconstitutional.
"The Importance Of fair quarantine
legislation to Kansas City can hardly
be estimated" said Mr. Asp. ''If the
Matthews bill originally introduced
and passed in the house, throwing a
stone wall around all Of Oklahoma,
had gone through intact 1t would have
meant that 10000 cattle annually !
from the southern pastures which now
come here would possibly have been
DETECTED to the ST Louis market The
original bill was inimical to the cotton
growers, the oil mills and the cattle
men OF Oklahoma, and whatever affects
those interests unfavorably will have a
,ognate effect upon Kansas City, which
is the natural market for the terri
.ory."

The Findings Of The Anthracite
\ Coal Commission +.
COMPLETE AND RADICAL.

Washington, Mar. s4.-The summary
by the Associated Press Of the lengthy
report Of the anthracite coal strike
commission shows that the findings are
complete and radical The impression
which Is freely expressed on jill sides Is
aatteringto Its impartiality and to the
conscientious purpose Of the arbitra-
tors. NIl ms. f,
80 fur as the issues Of the strike are
concerned the miners will seem TO most
persons to get the best Of the decision.
Their wages are advanced 10 per cent
and future provision is inserted in
the report which gives them an ad-
vance Of per cent for every increase
offs cents in tile price Of coal, the | per
cent advance standing as the minimum
wage. The sliding scale Is to be fixed
monthly. 80 far as the recognition Of
the United Mine Workers Of America
is concerned, no recommendation is
made, but discrimination against the
organization is provided against. The
provision which places the election Of
permanent arbitrators In the control
Of the operators on the one hand and
the majority Of employees in each dis.
trict on the other, ought to give to the
union everything 1t has the right to
ask. II it is able to secure q majority
Of miners in each district in It's mem \
bership 1t will control the situation SO
far as the employees side Is concerned.
And II 1t succeeds in this, II will re.
ceive recognition to all intents and
Of the operators On the
question Of the weighing Of coal The
report provides for check vcighmen
and docking bosses, when demanded
by majority Of contract miners, their
wages to be paid by the miners.
The opinion OF the arbitratoss that
there must be no discrimination or In. |
reference with freedom Of labor will |
strike responsive cord in public senti- |
Inent.
The probability is that neither the |
operators nor tile miners will be alto
,ether satisfied with the findings Of /
;he arbitration board, but this is rath- /
~ proof that the findings are fair
Ind just than otherwise. There is sell
lon a controversy bitterly fought out
IN both sides in which there is not |
ome wrong and some right GU both
'ides; but to the average man IL will
lppear that the miners get the most
substantial findings, notwithstanding
hut in some particulars which may
eem important to them the findings
re either against them or no recon-
nendation at all is made. |
