Headquarters.

New Orleans, Oct. 3.-Acting on in
structions from the national head
quarters in New York, the representa-
tives of the towboat engineers Of the
gulf district broke off all negotiations

set Tuesday noon as the time for call
ing a strike if their demands for in
creased wage scales are not met.
Like action will be taken by the
masters, mates and pilots of tow
boats in the gulf district at the same
time. which means that fully 10000
engineers and masters. mates and
pilots will walk out, tying up all tow
ing movements from gulf ports.
The strike, if there is one, will fall
heavy on New Orleans, where there
are employed 200 engineers and more
than 400 masters. mates and pilots
Port Arthur, Beaumont, Galveston and
other Texas ports, and Pensacola,
where there is an enormous oil tow
ing business done. will be the most
affected by the walkout.
E. c. KiIlian, national vice president
of the Marine Engineers Beneficial
Association. who presided at the con-
ferences with the towboat owners
Thursday, declared that he personally
is opposed to any strike, but in view
of the actions of the towboat owners
and instructions from national head
qurters, he said he would be compelled

Der of his towboats are ashore. Before
leaving Mr. Bliss declared that he
would return Monday. but this wa:
before Mr.. Killian received instruction
from national headquarters to breal
off all negotiations.
Notwithstanding that he wired Mr.
Bliss the instructions received from
national headquarters. Mr.. Killiar
Friday morning expressed the belief
that Mr. Bliss will return to New Or
leans Monday morning. If the engin-
eers and masters. mates and pilots OF
the gulf district walk out Tuesday, tho
entire towing traffic of the United
States will be stopped. as the engineers
and masters, mates and pilots of the
Atlantic district are now on strike.
In refusing to meet the demands OF
the engineers. the towboat owners al
the conference through their presi-
dent, n. H. Bliss, of Port Arthur
Texas, declared the wage scale was
above that asked for by the engineers
of the Atlantic district. 1t was argued
by Mr. Bliss that the hazards in the
Gulf of Mexico are not near as great
as in the Atlantic. and the wage scale
should not be higher.
To this the engineers answered that
they are not concerned with the At
Iantic district. but are acting as a
separate body.

ways one particular hero, sometimes
more, who has won special recognition
abroad and brought back additional
honors to his people
In Olden times when these young
men returned from battle and the
tribal war dances were given in honor
of their safe return, they brought back
with them strings OF scalps, bloody
trophies of their prowess. which were
displayed conspicuously. Today the
young Indian men bring back, not
scalps, but German helmets, hand
grenades and other relics, which are
just as greatly respected and just as
cOnspicuOusly displayed.
On these occasions the Indian maid
ems and even the older women seem
evidently to be attempting to outriyal
one another in the richness of their
costumes and in the gayiety of their
cOlOrs. The women participate at the
outset, opening each dance among
them being old white haired squaws.
and they would give way before long
TO the men of the tribe generally. But
at a given signal from the tOm-tom
beaters, the honOred guests will dance
into the circle, coming from some
where underneath the trees. and finish
that particular part of the program.
No vaudeville star trained to the ut
most in the muscle dance could achieve
nearly the success that one of these
warriors generally accomplish. With
his head rigid and erect, with never
a motion to the left or right, the mus
cles of his legs and body keep perfect
time to the music, displaying a Won
derful training.
During this part of the season white
people will go for miles to see the war
dances. II is a dusty occasion and
does not take long for the white man
to get disgusted, for he sees the In
dians dance until exhausted in a cloud
of dust.
These Indians, when visiting the
town or city, walk along the streets
and do not notice white people and
rarely talk to them, appearing very
modest and taciturn. They are strong
for booze and will get intoxicated OF
Jamaica ginger if they can get it. Il
is quite an interesting fact to learr
that the great majority of the Indians
of Oklahoma are loyal Democrats and

for thirty days and never see an In

CORN BORER 4 REAL PERIL

The European corn borer undoubt-
edly is a serious menace to American
agriculture. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture has for some
time called attention to the extreme
danger from this pest. which has be-
come well established in both Massa-
chusetts and New York. Now comes
this reinforcement of that judgment:
We, the National Association of
Commissioners of Agriculture, with
official entomologists from many States
and representatives of the United
States Department OF Agriculture, to-
gether with representatives of the Can
adian government. present as experts
in conference upon the situation, ex-
press ourselves, after examining the
infested area, as thoroughly convinced
that this pest is one of the most dan
gerous insects which has become es-
tablished in America. and we hereby
place ourselves on record in favor OF
most energetic efforts on the part of
Federal and State agencies to control
and, if possible. to eXterminate this in
sect. including in the program various
quarantines to prevent its distribu-
ton"
This is a part of the resolutions
adopted by the European corn borer
conference, begun at Albany y. Y, on
August 2S and concluded at Boston.
Mass, on August 20. The State com
missioners of agriculture, State en-
tomologists and others went over the
corn fields around Schenectady n. Y.
and Boston, Mass. and saw the meth
DDS of obstruction practiced by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and the State agencies. together
with the damage caused by the borer.
The commissioners of agriculture
returned to their States convinced of
the reality of the peril and of the nee
essity of unifying all efforts to protect
the farmers Of the country from de-
structiye insect that may quickly
spread over very large areas unless
most energetic control work S done
on a large scale.

HELD FOR NON.SUPPORT

Fred B. Wilkerson, scion OF a re-
spectacle white family, was arraigned
before Magistrate Arthur S. Hearn
last Saturday, charged with desertion
and non-support. In default of $1,000
bail for court and in default of surety
he was committed to the county Jail
at Georgetown.
Wilkerson also got into trouble last
year by failing to register for the
draft. Later he went to Georgetown
to register and tried to obtain exemp
tion, but his appeal met with no con-
sideration and he was promptly in
Quoted into the army. He was sent
to France with the first contingent.
About a month ago he was given his
discharge, and returned to Laurel, but
made it evident by his words and ac-
tions that he was through with his
young wife, and she finally obtained
warrant for his arrest. Wilkerson is
2S years of age and the couple have
one small child.
