GAS PIPE LINE COMPANIES
Mandamus Orders Them to Become
Common Carriers-Protest.

Oklahoma City, OKLA, March s.
The writ of mandamus requested by
the state, which in effect compels all
gas pipe line companies operating
in Oklahoma to become common car
riers of gas from the immediate terri
tory in which the gas pipe line op-
crates, was granted today by District
Judge George w. Clark.
In granting the requested writ
against the Oklahoma Natural Gas
Company, Judge Clark said that he
entertained considerable doubt as to
the writ of mandamus being the prop
er legal procedure to compel the gas
companies to obey the common carrier
law of Oklahoma, known as the Carr
bill, but he said he granted the writ
because the federal courts had evinced
a desire to suspend hearing of similar
cases, pending the final adjudication
of the law in the state courts.
a, Judge Clark said that the Carr bill
itself provided suitable penalties FOL
the non-observance of the law on the
part of the pipe line company.
Attorneys for the gas company will
ask for a new hearing upon the writ
They indicated they would appeal the
case to the supreme court of the Unit
ed States courts of the Carr laws un
constitutionality
The Carr law was enacted by the
fourth legislature and provides that
all companies transporting gas in pipe
lines be compelled to buy all gas In
its visinity without dissemination In
favor of its own production.

over the present military searchlight
that its illumination does not reveal
the position of the observer and thus
expose him to hostile fire. Not even
clew from the direction of the light
is given, as in the case Of rocket.
The light-bearing shell looks like
an ordinary projectile, long cylinder
with conical nose, and consists or
number of chambers containing the
combustible material, while its base
contains a parachute which opens out
as soon as the shell burts on begin
ming to descend. When the parachute
is fully opened, a clockwork move
ment ignites the Illuminating sub
stance which it carries and this pours
down a Great cone of brilliant light
on the country beneath, allowing the
position of an army to be perceived IN
detail, without danger to the observ'
ers. The possession of a weapon of
this kind would without doubt be OF
the greatest advantage to aeroplanes
reconnoitering at night, as the airmen
could observe without disclosing their
position and so inviting the fire OF
the enemy as they would necessarily
do if they used searchlights fixed to
their machines.-The Independent.

OFFER Of WORK
REFUSED BY ARMY
GOVERNOR JoHNsToN's PROPOSE
T,oN PROMPTLY REJEcTED-
DON'T WANT TO WORK.

Sacramento Cal, March S.-The
army of the Unemployed" on its
way to Washington, was offered work
today bv Governor Hiram Johnson.
The offer was declined. Leaders OF
the men called at the governors Of
fee and demanded that they be sup
piled with food and transportation to
the state line. The governor offered
work instead. but the leaders de-
clared frankly the army would accept
no employment until they had COM
pleted the march to Washington.
Tonight a company of state militia
had been ordered out by AdJutant
General Forbes to guard the state
arsenal where a large quantity or
arms and ammunition is stored, and
to be in readiness to answer riot
call. Companies at Oroville, stockton,
Chico and Woodland were notified to
hold themselves in readiness for SIM
liar service.
Two Factions in Army
More than 900 recruits have Joined
the army which now totals nearly
1 500 men. It is divided into two rival
factions of almost equal strength, one
obey ing thc orders OF General kel'
lev and the other composed Of seced-
ers.
No decision could be reached by
CITY and county officials as to what
disposition to make of the army. One
of the questions debated today was
whether or not to ship it back to San
Francisco whence it started.
Governor Rebukes Them.
When his offer OF work was de
clined by a committee of the army
Governor Johnson rebuked them sharI
! ly, saying:
For the men who want work have
the greatest sympathy and I am VIII
ing to do everything I can to hell
them. For the men who won't work
which I understand is the principle
with the Industrial Workers OF th'
World I have no sympathy.
You all have admitted that yo'
have not been seeking work, you hav'
refused the positions which offere'
you this very day. You say that tn
majority of your army will not worI
until they have completed their joul
ney to Washington.
Therefore you do not present a
unemployed problem. What you ar
presenting is a particular propagar
da and asking the state to assist yo
in spreading this propaganda. Thos
are not the actions Of unemploye
men"
The governor recognized in Jane
McCameron, one of the committee,
man who had begged from the gov
erner twice in San Francisco. McCsn
eron admitted to the governor tins
he had told him a falsehood to obtai
money.

THEIR WAY CLEAR
Having profited considerably by
past experience, the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen
are extremely wary of arbitration.
They have found that, though they
must accept arbitration, the railroads
only accept it when it pleases them
to do so.
Acting on their past knowledge the
union men sent to the railroad
bosses representative, A. w. Tren-
holm, the following letter:
Dear Sir: This will acknowledge
receipt of your letter of even date
wherein you say:
I'VE hereby request you to join
with us in an application to the
United States Board of Mediation and
Cancellation and invoke it's services
for the purpose of bringing about an
amicable adjustment of the contro-
Versy.'
Your request has been referred to
the joint committee representing the
engineers, flremen and hostlers in the
"OoIC4h ICA41CO1J oAAA hoo OSC1
clined for the reason that should they
join with you in the request to the
United States Board of Mediation and
Cancellation it would place a moral
obligation upon them to accept arbi-
tration as provided for in the New
lands act. AS we have stated to you
on several occasions, they will not
accept arbitration because in our
past arbitrations the railroads have
refused to place the awards in effect.
Yours truly,
wv. S. Stone,
"Grand Chief Engineer, Brotherhood
, of Locomotive Engineers.

president, Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Engineers"
