ADMISSION, Ala, Oct. 13.-Evidence
that members of the l. w. w. are al
work in Admission and adjacent towns
are seen by officials in the efforts that
are being made to get skilled labor
ers to leave Camp McClelland. One
attempt to take a train load of car
penters from the camp to Lake
Charles, La, was frustrated by the
prompt action of officers of the quar-
termaster's department earlier in the
week, Officers found further evidence
against the agitators, and ran them
out of the camp.
Both civil and military officers are
working on the matter, and it is un-
derstood that federal secret service
men have also taken a hand in it.
The officers recall that an attempt
was made to stampede the men short
II after work started at the camp
This attempt was checked by Major
L. Dulin, constructing quar-
who headed off about 500
men at the union station by appeal
ing to their patriotism.
The agitators seem to be plentiful
y supplied with money.
