TIES JOIN IN SURPRISING
OUTBREAK.

Oklahoma authorities are still on
the trail of draft resisters who have
been terrorizing the southeastern
counties of that state for the past
week. Though the backbone OF the
movement was broken the fore part
Of this week, there is still one band
encamped in the hills Is miles from
McAlester, against whom the federal
authorities are now proceeding.
This outbreak is the only one in
the United States 80 far reported, and
most of the local selection boards
have been at work examining men
for the new army for the past ten
days. Federal authorities Joined
with the local authorities in putting
the Oklahoma outbreak under con-
troll and have asked that the death
penalty be melted but to some Of tho
leaders.
The anti-draft riots in Southeast
ern Oklahoma were organized and
promoted by "The Working Glass
Union" an organization which, ac-
cording to young men who told its
secrets to win their freedom, con-
WINGED the rioters that they were car

bridges last Thursday night.
The w. C. u, these informers de-
clared. had been paving the way for
two years to a concerted uprising
against the present plan Of govern

from coast to coast and to have been

elevators, cotton mills, wealthy mems
houses and property Of all kinds was

we're to mete out to any members Of
the organization who disclosed Sc
crets, according to members i'm
pressed.
The greatest growth of the w. c.
U. has been during the past two
years. Organizers entered Oklahoma
from Kansas, according to inform
ers. They began by instituting "ag-
ricultural meetings" in every commu-
nifty. At these meetings there would
be brief discussion of crops and then
the organizers would break the gath
erings up into small groups and talk
of doctrines they called socialism"
and which had to do with the over
throw of the present government.
When enough men had been
taught the rudiments of the w. c. U.
a local" was formed, which there
after held its meetings secretly, in
canyons, forests and caves along the
river banks. New members were
initiated az into the ordinary frater-
nal orders.
One tenet inculcated into the
minds of all members was that Of
iicers of the law are the natural emo
mics Of the working class. To kill
an officer was to add q star 70 ones
