SENATE May.
INVESTIGATE
ARDM0RE FIGHT
Official Investigation of
"Egging" of Senator Reed
Is Discussed.

Ardmore, Okla, Oct. 2.-Whether
an official investigation would be made
of demonstration here last night
which resulted in the throwing of eggs
at United States Senator James A.
Reed Of Missouri, who was on the
platform at convention hall to deliver
an address in opposition to the peace
treaty and League of Nations. was the
subject of considerable discussion to-
day.
The demonstration followed mass
meeting here Tuesday at which reso-
lutions we're adopted censuring the
senator for his opposition to the
League of Nations covenant.
LAST nights trouble began almost as
soon as Mayor VIM. Freeman had
arisen to introduce the senator. Mayor
Freeman was in the midst OF an ex-
planation that he was introducing the
speaker because he was mayor of the
city and not because he supported the
views Of those opposed to the league
covenant when the lights went oht
and volleys Of eggs hurtled through
the air toward the stage.
When the lights were restored it
was found that virtually none of those
on the stage. including the senator,
the mayor and members of the recep-
ton committee. had escaped the ef-
fects of the eggs.
Later officials attempted to continue
the program but the crowd refused to
listen: Efforts by Senator Reed to
deliver his address were met with
jeers Kisses, catcalls and cheers for
President Wilson.
Women members Of the audience
went upon the stage and held an in
formal reception in the hope that the
move would quiet the crowd. Finally
the meeting was abandoned and Sen
ator Reed was driven to his hotel.

In the south Chicago district the H.

about 1000 men at work and operat-

Dissension is said to have broken
out among union leaders at Gary, re-
sulting in a call for outside help in
directing the strike. The radical and
conservative elements of the unions
have been struggling for control since
the strike started. The conservatives
lhave thus far been triumphant and
fthe strike has been conducted with q
+! minimum of violence. There was
some fear, however. that the detection
of 50 many strikers today would turn
many to radical leadership.
