|ARDMORE CITIZENS
 EGG SENATOR REED
Pandeni0niuni P Breaks Loose While the Mayor is Seeking to Introduce Speaker-Fail to Restore Order.

Ardmore, Okla., Oct. 1.-The att tempt of United States Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, to address an Ardmore audience tonight was com plete failure, following a most pro- pitious start earlier in the evening. Senator Reed arrived in Ardmore accompanied by General Emmitt Newton, of Springfield, Mo. He went immediately to the Washington hotel and later a committee met him and escorted him to the Dornick Hills Club where an elaborate banquet was served with many Ardmore citizens present. The rank and, file, however, which gathered at the mass meeting at the Carter county court house, yes terday and passed resolutions censur- ing Reed and sent him wire not to come to Ardmore, denouncing his stand on the League of Nations in resolutions as undemocratic and un-
 
 in evidence at the banquet.
 The hour of speaking had been set for eight-thirty, and at that hour the Ardmore convention hall with seat ing capacity of five thousand, was filled to overfiowing with fully six thousand people damned into the building.
 Mayor Freeman started to intro duce the Missouri senator. Without warning, out went the lights as some one, whom, no one knows, had cut the light wires. Immediately pande- monium broke loose.
 Some cool-headed citizens reached the middle of the stage where were seated Senator Reed, Mayor Freeman and members of hte reception com mittee. He told them to "sit in the boat" that if any attempt was made to leave the stage riot might fol- low. Just at this point a lombard ment of ancient eggs began in more or less steady barrage over the foot lights
 After the crowd had thinned some what the senator and those who were with him upon the stage left quietly and were driven to the hotel.

 WERE NOT POPULAR

Little Rock, Oct. 1.--The last of the anti-profiteering bills was dis posed of by the legislature yesterday And the legislature, whcih was called for the purpose of enacting laws that would prevent profteering and hoard ing and thereby reduce the high cost of living, has from the first looked with disfavor upon all the measures submitted.
 The administration bill introduced and championed by MT. Jordan of Conway county, was called up yester- day, and promptly tabled upon motion of MT. Thane of Desha.
 The committee on Judiciary report ed adversely on the Jameson bill for a limitation of profits, and it was not accorded even the benefits of clergy in it's summary taking off.
 The last one, introduced by MT. Riggs, providing penalty for false statements in the sale of any goods or merchandise, or false or artful and deceitful means in manufactur- ing or jobbing," was passed by the House upon the appeal of the author But when it wended it's way over to the Senate, it was shown scant cour- tesy. Senator Cazort of Johnson county objected to reading the bill g second time, and it meekly expired or the calendar.

NINE ARE KILLED
 IN RACE RIOTS
Situation at Elaine, Ark, Criti- cal and Growing Worse as Re
 suit of Plot by Negroes to Rise Against White Residents

Helena, Ark, Oct. 1.-Two white of Helena, and seven negroes are known to be dead at Elaine, near here, as a result of clashes today between a posse searching for the persons who last night from ambush fired upon and killed w. D. Adkins, rail road special agent, according to re- ports recahing here tonight. A third white man, Ira Proctor, and num- Der of negroes are known to have been wounded. Troops from Camp Pike, at Little Rock, armed with ma chine guns, are said to be en route to Elaine.
 The situation at Elaine is critical and growing worse, according to a telephone message received tonight by County Judge s. D. Moore here from Joseph c. Meyers, who is head ing the posse. Meyers was quoted as saying he expected another clash at any moment and requested that 3 special train with endorsements be sent immediately. The soldiers from Camp Pike are expected to arrive be- fore midnight.
 Tappan, who was prominent busi- ness man here, succumbed in local hospital late today to the wounds he received in this mornings fighting in the streets of Elaine. Proctor, who was also brought here, is not expect ed to live, according to physicians. The body of Lee, who died from his wounds at Elaine, also was brought to his home here.
 Lee is said to have been. shot acci- dentally, while Tappan and Proctor were wounded during the fighting. Charles Pratt, deputy sheriff who was with Adkins when the latter was killed last night, was wounded in the knee. Lee, Tappan and Proctor are members of the local post of the American Legion and were deputized by Sheriff Kitchens with number of other civilians when he received word the situation at Elaine was getting out of control.
 More than hundred negroes and white man who is alleged to have had in his possession quantity of questionable literature had been ar rested by posses operating in Elaine and vicinity, when he left, according to Former Sheriff Amos Jarman, who arrived here late today. A number of the prisoners have been brought to Helena and others according to Jar man, are on the way under heavy guard. The white man is not among those already here, it is said

ISSUE OF STEEL
 STRIKE DEFINED
Judge Gary Declares Sole Issue is Right of Any Man to Be Employed = Employees Are Heard.

Washington, Oct. 1. - Declaring that the question of the open shop the right of man to work, irrespec- tive of whether he was a member of labor union, was the sole issue in the nationwide steel strike, Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States steel corporation, told the Senate committee investigat- ing the strike today, that his corpora tion would never yield. Even now, he said, the strike is failing.
 "There was no reason for this
 strike" said MT. Gary. "The men did
 not want it. It was forced on them from the outside, by the organizers
 of labor unions. The open shop is
 the question here-the right to bring
 about fullest production with only
 the interests of the employees, the
 employer and the public in sight" Labor leaders, he told the commit | tee, were seeking to unionize all in- dustry in the country. Should their
 efforts be successful, he asserted, in-
 dustrial decay would follow.
 ] "It means the conditions I fear England is in today" he added, "though have hopes she will come
 out of it."
 ha1 not 121 A Ares testimony tonight and will be exam
 ined again tomorrow. He gave way for an hour today to several en-
 ployees of the corporations mills who told the committee they knew of no reason for the strike. All agreed that
 the men who voluntarily responded
 to the strike call were mostly foreign
 CTS and one of them, John J. Martin, a Youngstown machinist, attacked the leaders of the national steel workers
 committee.
 'I think John Fitzpatrick, (chair-
 man of the workers committee) with
 w. z. Foster (secretary of the com
 mlttee) as an able assistant, are head ing band of buccaneers who will
 overthrow this government if they
 are not stopped" said Martin, who
 explained that he himself formerly
 was union man. They were en-
 gagged, he said, in "scuttling the American Federation of Labor" Martin testified that the steel en- ployees at Youngstown, American
 and foreigners alike," had been ter
 rorized by threats to burn houses
 and kill children"
 Mir. Gary also in the course of his testimony said that the company had
 much "hearsay evidence" that such threats had been made against men
 who would not join in the strike.
