TAYLOR ELECTION
LAW NULLIPIED

Guthrie, Okla, December THE state
supreme court this afternoon handed down
a decision multiplying the Taylor election
law in so far as its immediate validity
is concerned, and decreeing that the
statute cannot be effective until it is sus-
tanned at a referendum.
The court granted the writ of man
damus asked by Joseph Fl. Norris, chair
man, and S. G. House, secretary Of the
republican state committee, to compel
Secretary of State Cross to file the refer
endum petitions submitted by the com
mittee and to provide for the submission
of the law to a popular vote.
The question may be submitted at a
special election or at the regular state
election of 1910.
The Taylor election law. which, it is
claimed, places the election machinery of
the state In the hands of one party and
practically DISTINGUISHES the negro, was
passed by the last democratic legislature
by a strict party vote, but the majority
necessary to add the emergency clause
was lacking.
Within 30 days the republicans filed the
petitions calling for a referendum vote
Protests followed that the fling was
not according to law and Secretary Cross
upheld this contention.
The republican committee then took the
matter into the supreme court, with the
result that the committee was sustained.

Almost simultaneously with the return
of the Burley officials representatives of
the eastern syndicate received kilograms
directing them not to sign the contract
This turn in affairs has caused wide
spread speculation in tobacco circles
President Lebus of the Burley organiza-

is concerned he favors holding out for

ovERTURES FOR PEACE

Bridgeport, O., December THE strike

plant of the American Sheet and Tin
Plate company, which has caused so far
the serious injury of half a dozen men,
the calling out of 150O state soldiers, and
an estimated loss to workers, plant own
ers and the state of over 100000. reduced
itself tonight into waiting game.
It Is now generally believed that before
the week Is out the strike question will
be arbitrated and terms reached whereby
the former employees of the company, who
are all members of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION of Iron, Sheet and Tin Plate
Workers, will return to their old jobs
under conditions suitable to all con-
cerned
Vice President Lewis of the Amalga-
mated association intimated tonight that
he had been approached by men considered
as representatives OF the tin mills COM
pany with overtures for an arbitration
of the disagreements. Officials of the
American company deny any such over
lures have been made.
Officials of the American Sheet and Tin
Plate company conferred with the home
officers in Pittsburg today, discussing
propositions to end the strike.
What was decided at the meeting was
not made public.
Six hundred troops remain here to
guard the tin mills plant and property.
General Speaks tonight posted men along
the Ohio river to guard against strik-
ers invading West Virginia shores. A
trainload of strikebreakers from Pitts
burg is expected to arrive during the
night
Late tonight miltiaman shot at
supposed striker. The shot caused
much excitement in the soldiers camp
as the echoes of the rife report in the
hills caused many to believe a miniature
battle was one. 1t is not known whether
or not the alleged striker was hit.
