Doctor McCarty, while having a

stem, although of course on all i'm
portant matters they advise with
each other. Doctor McCarty has
oeen a money maker ever since he
struck Tulsa and himself has keen

so good as his wife. Mrs. McCarty
rarely misses film at the Majestic

Tulsa is justly proud of her new

STRIKERS PAID OFF
 AT ENSLEY MILLS
Mass Meeting. Called at Ems ley for Tomorrow Night.
 Labor Officials to Talk

It is understood that the men at the Ensley plants of the Tennessee company who were out on strike were yesterday given their pay Tor services rendered prior to their de- c!sion to strike and that upon receipt of their wages each man was notified that his services were not needed fur ther.
 This action affects several hundred men, it is stated. and is taken as technical point gained by the company, for in this act they have relieved the strike, the men having been paid and discharged and any man taking their place will not be considered in the light of a strike breaker.
 It is also stated at Ensley that the pipe filters who did not strike but asked for an increase ill salary were granted a 15 per cent increase.
 Hand bills announce meeting to be held in Ensley on Friday night at o'clock in the city hall, at which time an address will be delivered by Or ganizer Brown of the United Mine Workers of America and Vice Presl- dent Jones of the Amalgamated Iron Workers union.

$954, ,00O State Bonds
 Will Mature Next Year


 Montgomery, February T-(Specal) In his annual report for the last fscal year received from the state printer wednesday, W. L.. Lancaster. state treasurer, notified Governor Henderson that state funding bonds to the amount of ss5i.00O will mature January l. l92U This means that the legislature of 1913 must make some arrangement for the payment of the bonds when due or for the issuance of new bonds to cover the amount
 These bonds were issued January |, 1880, and have borne interest at the rate of per cent annually. The con- stitution and acts of the legislature prior to the adoption of the constisa- ton which were confirmed by the con- stitution make provision for issuance of funding bonds to take up this is- sue without the necessity of an amend ment to the constitution. Treasurer Lancaster's report shows that the states bonded indebtedness is $g.05700O and that the annual interest is $s67 4h0 The report is of little value for ordinary purposes, as it shows the actual receipts and money paid out, while during the year covered by the report many state warrants were hy- pothecated or held by those to whom they were issued until the condition of the state treasury became better.

WESTERN MINERS OF DISTRICT NO. b VOTE ID WITHDRAW Charge of Corruption Made Against Parent Organiza- tion, United Mine Work
 CTS of America

Pueblo, Col, February 27.-Delegates representing the coal miners in District No 15, United Mine Workers of America, including the states of Colorado and New Mexico, in convention in Pueblo today, withdrew from the national organization and passed resolutions favoring the or ganization of a new union of coal miners in this district to be known as the Inde- pendent Union of Mine Workers of America. A4es
 WAITED IN VAIN
 The action was taken after the con vertion had waited in vain several hours for reply to an ultimatum sent yes terday to President Hayes of the In- ternatonal organization. The ultimatum demanded that President Hayes with draw from the district temporary Pres ident James F. Moran and Secretary Warren Phippin. representing the inter- national board, and that the ballots cast at the recent district election be turned over to the delegates for an impartial recount"
 The miners charged that John R. LAW son and E. l.. Doyle were counted out purposely by the international commit tee sent to canvass the vote. Lawson was candidate for president of the dis trict and Doyle for international board member. A favorable reply to the u- timatum was demanded by 10 a. m. to- day.
 RESOLUTION PASSED
 Among the resolutions passed was the following
 .Resolved, That inasmuch as the new union has been brought into existence as protection against the graft and corruption existing within the United Mine Workers of America, which there is no hope left of purifying, it must not be considered as dual movement. but as a new organization standing for the principles of pure democracy as exempli- fled by the American labor movement, and therefore the executive board is in structed to make application for a char ter of utilization with the American Fed eration of Labor"
 Indianapolis, February 27.-Officers of the United Mine Workers of America at the organization headquarters in Indian apolis tonight said the action of miners at the convention in Pueblo, Col, in withdrawing from the parent organiza- tion. was taken by only small per cent of the membership in Colorado and that the majority of the miners will remain in the national organization.
 William Green, international secretary treasurer of the United Mine Workers, termed the meeting a trump convention held by a small group of disgruntled miners who were not satisfied with recent election of officers in district No 16"
