LEWIS Removal

It is not only possible but probable
that events which led to T. D. Levy,
vice president and general manager OF
one OF the nations greatest railroads,
quitting, had their inception in Sa-
pulpa and that the cause was the pre-
Scntaton to the directors OF the Frisco
when they met in New York, Of a
resolution drawn mp by Sapulpa at
torney acting for the four brotherhoods,
in which it was said that II the directors
Of the Frisco did moi eliminate Levy
from an intolctabc position Of over
bcarance the brothcrhoods would for
mally appeal to McAdoo
Tbs resolution went to New York
backed by % percent Of the strength Of
the four brotherhoods ]. +. Lawrence
of Sapulps was consulted in regard to
those who drew up the resolution which
stated Levy was oyerbearing and had
tried To browbcat all classes of workers
on his road. 1t recited that the work
ers regarded themselves as being az
patriotic class OF men as any in the
country but that Leyy's conduct TO his
operating trainmen and others had then
reached a point where the men would
invoke every power in the nation to
have him taken off his job
The basis for the artipathy against
Levy is included under several heads
the most important of which, as concerns
people in Oklahoma, was his determine
