OKLAHOMA CITY. April 1.-THE
first organization of the kind in this
section of the west was perfected at
Drumright when employees OF all
classes in the oil fields united in a
trades council Saturday under a
charter obtained directly from the
headquarters of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. Edgar Fenton. presi-
dent of the Oklahoma Federation OF
Labor, assisted the men in their or
ganization. Many trades are repre-
sented in the Drumright oil fields,
but not enough of any one class to
successfully promulgate separate
union. 1t was considered the best for
all to organize one general body. This
is the first organization Of the kind
for this section of the country, and
the first for many years anywhere.
There are about hundred and fifty
men in the new labor federation.

ARRANGING DETAILS
OF THE CHERRY FAIR
Committees Rest Last Night
and Settled Preliminary
Arrangements

The chairmen of the various commit
tees appointed by Benjamin Brick to ar
range for the annual Cherry fair met
at the Commercial club last evening and
discussed plans and submitted budgets
Mr.. Compton, chairman of the commit
tee on street sports thought he could
get along with $50 while Mr.. GahlsdOrf
of the parade committee placed his low
est figure at $55. Mr.. Reynolds of the
cherry display committee thought $145
was his lowest and Mrs. Daney for the
, baby parade, considering the import
ance of this parade, thought she should
have at least $50, and also remarked
that the mothers thought real money
as prizes were more to be priced than
loving cups.
The Salem Floral association figured
that 800 would be low enough to spend
in prizes and decorating the armory.
Rev. James Elvin of the queen contest
had a most encouraging report, in
which he stated that there was likely
to be a genuine race for the honor of
naming the queen, and that already
there was considerable money in the
treasury.
The plans for the fair include the
crowning of the queen Monday morn
ing to be followed by the baby parade
and the viewing of the floral and cher
ry exhibits at the armory. The after
noon of Monday will be given to the
parade from representatives. of all the
oranges in the county, and the mer-
chants and manufacturers parade
Street sports will follow. The women
of North Salem win put on pageant
at Wilson park. The day viii close
with the ball at the amory.
Plans for Tuesday morning include
the automobile parade, military and
civic parade and all fraternal organ
i4atious. This will be followed by
patriotic speaking from the reviewing
stand. The afternoon of July Fourth
aud the evening will be given to the
celebration at rne fair grounds.
