Oklahoma city, Sept. 24.-Should it
become necessary Adlutant General
Barrett Of oklahoma, was prepared
early today to rush additional troops
to Drumright, an oil town in Creek
county where rioting has been in pro.
gress lntermittenty since Monday. in
connection with the strike of girl tele-
phone operators.
Owing to impaired wire communica.
tion the exact situation in Drumright
was uncertain this morning, but late
night reports that the streets had
become crowded with armed men fol
lowing the arrival of four units of
national guardsmen at Cushing. three
miles away, prompted officials to con.
slider taking further drastic steps to
cope with any emergency
The last reports from the town said
that, while there had been no general
resumption of riotng, individual fights
were in progress on all sides. Threats
to burn the telephone company's plant,
were being renewed, it was said. one
official was quoted as declaring fur
ther trouble was expected on the part
OF members of the /. w. w. among
the oil field laborers.
Orders for sending the troops to the
town We're issued by Governor j. b.
\. Robertson, after he had been ad-
vlsed that conditions there were dan
gerous.
The original trouble is said to have
followed the clubbing of a strike picket
by a policeman.
In the demonstration that followed.
members Of the police force were driv-
en- from the city, and the mayor and
chief Of police threatened with death,
unless they resigned.
The mob then took control Of the
town.
The striking telephone operators de-
mand increased wages and shorter
hours.
Members Of the state board of arbl.
trallon and conciliation were to meet
in Drumright today to consider the
strikers claims.
Several alleged leaders Of the Mon
day night mob have been arrested
and taken to Jail at Sapulpa, the coun.
ty seat.
Officials here were without definite
information today rs to the number
OF persons participating in Monday
nights disturbances or who made up
the rank and file. 1t was believed,
however, that official reports from of.
ficers in charge Of the troops sent to
the scene would throw light on the
matter.

Plttsburg, Pa, Sept. 24.-The large
corporations i'm the Pittsburg district
affected by the steel workers walkout
continued to give out optimistic reports
today to the general effect that the
strike situation from their point of
view, is improving. Without exception.
the companies canyassed announced
that more men returned to work today
than yesterday. I'm some instances, it
was stated, the number was small but
satisfaction was expressed by company
representatives, with the situation as it
is progressing
ON the other hand statements from
national union headquarters here were
to the effect that the strike continues
to spread. Secretary William T. Fos
ter Of the steel workers national com
mittec. predicted that the great Home
stead plant of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany. the principal subsidiary of the
United states steel Corporation, would
be shut down by Saturday, 1t is known
that both sides are concentrating much
energy on these works. Strike leaders
say to close down Homestead and keep
it shut would go n long way to bring
victory to the steel workers. The streets
of Homestead and Munhall are guarded
more heavily to protect men who want
to go to work, than probably any other
community in the Pittsburg district.

ing program was held in the Taze-
well High School chapel Friday night,
last, in the form Of u public reading
contest. Eleven girls and three boys
of the High School competed for the
honors in the ability to interpret to
an audience the subject matter of
various tive-minute selections. Each
contestant read previously studied
selection, and also a new selection,
which had been seen only five minutes
before the reading. The competition
among the girls was very keen and
exciting. Several of the readers prov
ed themselves very proficient and they
greatly stimulated the cause of good
reading in the school.
The committee, chose Miss Dof1tby
Hankins, of the Sophomore class al
the best reader among the girls, with
Miss Narcissa Thompson second, and
Mr.. Joseph Gillespie, of the Soph-
omore Class as the best of the boys
with Mr.. Rcece johnson second. The

TOKENS OF LOVE OFFERED PAS
TOR IN LAST SERVICE.

The La Grange, Georgia, Reporter
of the 3rd of March contained the fol-
lowing, which will be Of much interest
TO Tazewcll people:
ITO congregation which filled the
Presbyterian church, congregation
in which every denomination was
we'll represented, Rev. J. G, fIcrndou
preached on Sunday morning his last
sermon as pastor of that church. Tie
services were fitting close to his long
period of service both as minister
of the gospel and as citizen of La
Grange.
Rev. Will Dozier, of Loyd's church,
assisted i'll conducting the services,
and many members of that church, of
which Mr.. Hendon was pastor for
ten years, were in the audience.
At the close Of the sermon, DR.. Do
zicr took charge Of the services, and
in brief but forceful manner, on
pressed for the church members, their
affection for their pastor and their
appreciation for his loyal services
among them for the past eighteen
years.
Tokens OF Love
He was followed by Prof. Rowe, who
presented, in behalf of the congrega-
ton u five hundred dollar Liberty
bond, as slight token Of the appre-
citation for his untiring efforts, with
the wish that the bond would always
remind Mr.. Herndon of the bond be-
tween him and his church here.
Prof. Coleman, 4s representative of
the many friends of Mr.. Herndon out
side of his own denomination, who
also wished toi remind him in some
tangible manner, presented him with
check for three hundred and twenty
five dollars, with few we'll chosen
expressions of love and esteem.
Mr.. Clark Wallace and Mr.. Bla-
lock also offered tributes to Mr.. Hern-
don, after which the members Of the
congregation by rising vote, unani-
mously expressed their affection with
thanks to him for his past services.
Mr.. Herndon was overcome by
emotion, and afcr expressing his
appreciation, there was hardly dry
eye In the congregation.
Mr.. Herndon leaves soon for his
new field of labor in South Carolina,
ard LAGRANGE will surely miss the
man who, through eighteen years of
unselfish service, has built for him
self monument in the hearts of all
those who knew him and called him
friend -
