NEED COTTON PicKERs
Question Of Securing Help Becoming
Serious in Western Oklahoma

GUTHRIE: There Is good chance
for man, his wife, or even the chill,
dren to get "A job right now and for
several months to come in Kiowa
county, where the cotton growers and
the people OF Hobart, where the cot.
ton mill is located, are exercising
every effort to get laborers to save
the cotton crop. With their present
stock on hand of farm and day labor
the crop cannot be handled before
frost comes.
At Roosevelt and other points in
the county organizations are taking
holdo the matter. At Roosevelt the
AntiHorsethief association has the
question in charge and will import
men to look after the cotton crop.
The people of Hobart are taking up
the matter in earnest. Money is be-
ing subscribed to induce laborers to
come here in time for cotton picking.
The plants are maturing and many la
borers will be needed within few
weeks. Committees arc locating
places where farm hands or cotton
pickers may be secured in numbers.
1t is estimated that it will take
every man, woman and child in Kiowa
county to pick the cotton there this
season, and the job would keep them
busy for six months. The ginners, oil
mill men and merchants in general at
Hobart have the entire matter In
| charge.
There is always dearth of help in
| southwestern Oklahoma at cotton
picking time. In Kiowa and Greer
counties, especially, the cotton pick
ers famine exists. In the other parts
Of the territory, as a rule, there is
sufficient labor to handle the crops of
| all kinds. The increased acreage Of
broomcorn this season Is making a
strong demand on the labor supply Of
the territory.

OVER JEALOUS DEPUTIES
Officers Exceed Their Authority in
Searching for inuor

. MCSKOGEE: Considerable indig.
nation Is felt over the action of depu-
ty United States marshals, who, il is
asserted, exceed their authority in
their search for liquor. A few days
ago deputy boarded n train at
Tahlequah and opened a grip belong
ing to a passenger. He found nc
liquor. The passenger was well
known business man of the territory,
and there was nothing to indicate
that his grip contained liquor. He
appealed to the railroad company and
demanded protection. The deputy
was told by the conductor that hence.
forth when he wanted to search pas
sengers for liquor he must wait until
they left the train.
Recently travelling man boarded o
train In this city. A deputy marshal
followed him into the car and took mis-
grip of the train just as it was leav.
ing. There was no liquor in the grip,
but the action Of the deputy marshal
caused the travelling man to miss his
train, and he proposes to bring suit
against the official. Both marshal
and district attorney tacitly agree
that in these instances the deputy
went too far. The two cases referred
to will probably result in test be.

NO FURTHER AGREEMENTS
Packers Claim the Butchers Violated d
One Agreement

CHlCAGO: I'VE had an agree
ment with Mr.. Donnelly's organiza.
tion and the allied trades, which they
failed to live up to. and under the
circumstances we CO not care to
them"
This is the statement which was
signed by the representatives OF
the packers and handed to the mem
bers OF the state board of arbitration
at the end of conference between
the two bodies, held at the request of
the state board in an cndeavor to
bring about another meeting for the
settlement .Of the butchers strike be.
tween the packers and the strikers.
The packers received tn state board
courteously and listened to their ar
guments for a peaceable adjustment
of the difficulty. The announcement
that the packers were opposed to any
further peace negotiations with tha
strikers was handed to the board by
Arthur Meeker and Thomas Connor
both of Armour & Co, who represent,
ed the packers.
While from their statement It
would appear that the packers are op.
posed to meeting the strikers again
on any terms, such is not the case.
At the last conference between tho
strikers and the packers the latter in
formed the union leaders that any
time they expressed desire to live
up to the original arbitration agree.
ment, signed week ago, which pro.
vided for the reinstatement OF the
striking butchers inside of forty-five
days and for the arbitration OF all
grievances, the packers would be will.
ing to renew the agreement.
The contention of the packers is
that this agreement is still in force,
and as they are unwilling to offer any
further concessions to the strikers
they say renewal OF the peace ne
better terms would be useless. The
labor leaders say that when the
butchers went on the second strike
because OF alleged discrimination by
the packers in rehiring employees the
arbitration agreement was nulliifed
and that it is necessary to sign a new
agreement before a settlement can
be reached. After the conference
with tn state board of arbitration Ar.
thur Meeker, manager for Armour &,
| Co., said that the packers were still
willing to live up to the terms of the
original agreement, but that the In
itiative would have to he taken by
! the strikers. Mr.. Meeker also inti
mated that the sooner the strikers
! adopted this course the better ii
would be for them, as. in his belief, II
! the strike should last much longer
all the places OF the strikers would
be filled by new men, and there would
be no necessity for the packers tC
