FEDERAL AGENTS SEEK
CAUSE OF WALKOUTS,

NEW YORK, April 10.-Depart-
ment of Justice agents today con-
ferred with K. ], Mantell, represent
ing the Railroad Managers organiza-
tion here, regarding the strike which
has virtually tied up this district. 1t
was reported that federal agents had
been sent to the Jersey City yards to
investigate the causes for the walk
out.
The strike grew to alarming pro-
portions during the morning hours.
Freight transportation is at stand
still, threatening the city's food sup
ply. Passenger trains on many lines
moved haltingly and ferries ran spas
medically.
An embargo on express matter was
ordered as the strike gained ground.
The city also feared an actual
shortage of workers as many thous-
ands of men and women who daily
commute from New Jersey are unable
to run the strike blockade.

WILSON BEING

OF SITUATION
Outlaw Walkouts Spread
Alarmingly - New
York Hard Hit

WASHINGTON, April lO.-(By
Associated Press) Should the pres
ent strike of railroad employees threat
en- paralysis of transportation, the
federal government would have to
intervene, high administration Off
cials said today. The strikes are
not regarded as having reached that
stage, however, and the opinion was
expressed that the authorized union
heads would be able to control with
out government interference.
Some officials said they -wculd lYoe
be surprised if the strikes resulted
IN showdown between the union
officers and the leaders of the
strikes, and declared this to be as
good time as any for a test of
strength.
President Wilson is being kept ad-
vised of developments.

ably can never be made a successful
issue for the Democratic party in the
campaign.
For if it is repudiated in solidly
Democratic state, with member of
the presidents official family as its
champion, it could not reasonably
be expected to fare better in the de-
batable or Republican states of the
north.
And it means further, for the same
reason, the collapse of Palmer's S pre-
tentions to Democratic leadership on
platform upholding the Wilson ad-
ministration Sin its every phase"
One of the points most strongly
urged by the Smith following, and
which may be very effective factor
in the campaign, is that defeat of
Palmer would reveal so plainly the
handwriting on the walp' with re-
spect to making the unreserved treaty
a winning issue in the campaign, that
senator Democrats who stood in line
for the president and defeated it with
reservations WOULD THEN QUICK
LY LINE UP IN FAVOR OF RES
ERVATIONS, with the result that the
treaty could be recalled by the sem
ate and DISPOSED OF BEFORE
JUNE l. That, however, is scarce
ly within the probabilities.
What is certain, however, is that
the Palmer-Smith fight in Georgia will
be perhaps the most bitterly contest
ed fight in the whole United States
not even excepting the Wood-Lowden
fights in Illinois and Michigan or the
Wood Harding battle in Ohio,
Palmer and his hackers will bring
to bear all possible pressure of the
administration machine. But Senator
Smith has had hand in building the
federal machine in Georgia, and him.
self fitted many of the cogs. He has
strong state organization, too.
Oh, it will be a real fight, all right,
for these Georgians take their poll
ties as they used to take their Ii
quor-and still do, surreptitiously
seriously. And, as the following will
show, this is a serious fight.
Smith, even more than Palmer, is
fighting for his political life. He
voted in favor of reservations to the
treaty. He must stand for re-elec-
tion to the senate this fall.

Kitchin Better After
Paralvtic Stroke

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The
condition of Representative Claude
Kitchin, Of North Carolina, who suf-
fered a stroke of paralysis yesterday,
was reported today as considerably
improved.
Representative Kitchin suffered a
slight stroke on the right side Friday
soon after delivering a speech in the
house opposing the Republican peace
resolution.
Dr. Lazaro. of Louisiana, also a
member of the house, said that a
slight hemorrhage had occurred,
which would necessitate absolute
quiet for some time.
After Mr. Kitchin had been ex-
amined by DIR. Lazaro, he was remov-
ed to his home. The physician said
Mr., Kitchin's condition was not seri-
Gus. but that he should remain quiet.

Redskins Spend Oil Mil
lions Like Proverbial
Drunken Sailor
BY MABEL ABBOTT

PAWHUSKA, Okla. April TO-
The richest people in the world, the
Usage Indians, are facing poverty
10 years ahead.
The government ''trust period"
ends in 1881 until which time they
receive the income from gas and oil
rights on lands allotted them,
whether they still own the lands or
not.
The Indians bought the land-wild,
rock-ribbed arid tracts-for $1.25 an
acre. When oil was discovered they
promptly sold it. Later the govern
ment decided that they had sold only
the surface and by act of Congress
the government now leases oil rights
to the highest bidder and turns the
money over to the Indians.
This money pours into the tribal
fund, for according to Usage law the
tribe takes "pot luck" Whether there
is oil on an Indians land or not, he
is wealthy now.
So it happens that many young
brave wears silk shirts and drives his
automobile, and many girl whose
creamy skin is barely tinged with cop
per, buys imported party gowns and
diamonds, or possibly even a white
husband, with the big quarterly
checks. And if the mineral rights un-
der former Usage lands revert to the
surface owners in 1881, as they pre-
sumably will unless the trust period
is extended, then their big incomes
from nothing at all will end, too; for
comparatively few Indians still own
l-producing land.
Old Chief Bacon Rind says:~
eve have lived the life of the
white man only little while 1t is
still strange. Our children will not
be ready in 10 years to tahe care of
themselves in the white mans world.
In IS years more they will have grown
up and can manage their own affairs
We ask the white mans government
to go on taking care of them until
then"
At the last quarterly payment of
oil and gas money, they received a
total of 81 ZOO 000 Last week they
received $500 apiece. Payments dur
ing 1920 probably will total $4,000
apiece.
A family of five Osages will have
$4,000 to spend during the year
$4,000 in cash, $41G6 a month. $138
a day without work and without
risk.
Pawhuska, capital of the Usage ma
ton, seat of the government Indian
agency, and the nearest spending
point for the big checks it hands out,
is half primitive, half ultra-modern
Pawhuska's s streets, and all the dus-
ty roads that wind toward it through
the Usage hills, are bright with the
blankets of the Indians and congest-
ed with their high-powered cars. An
Usage will not ride in Lizzie"
There are banks insteads of saloons
here, otherwise Pawhuska is a typi-
cal frontier town.
1t is under the million dollar tree"
beside the agency that auctions of oil
and gas leases are held. The bidders
that gather for these sales represent
the biggest oil interests in the world
A lifted hand or a nod of the auc-
tioneer's head may mean a deal of a
half a million. A single lessee at the
last auction paid $620,000 for the
right to drill
Only about 500 900 acres of Usage
land have been leased. More than
100000 acres remain.

the League of Nations is to take in
the coming presidential election, if
any, will in large measure be deter
mined by the results of the Demo
cratic primaries, to be held in Geor-
gia, April 20.
Georgia is, of course, a Democrat
ic state. The League of Nations is,
by edict of President Wilson, laid
down in his Jackson Day letter to
party leaders, a Democratic issue. AS
the lines are now drawn, Georgia
Democrats are offered an opportuni-
ty to express their favor for any one
of the following positions upon the
treaty.
ONE-Ratifcation of the treaty
unchanged, as urged by President
Wilson.
SECOND-Ratihcation of the
treaty with reservations; substantial
ly as voted down by the senate.
THIRD-Rejection of the entire
treaty and league covenant, as ad-
vocated by the senate 'irreconcili-
ables."
These three positions are repre-
sented, respectively, by the candi-
dacies in Georgia of Atty. Gen. A.
Mitchell Palmer. Senator Hoke
Smith and Thomas c. Watson, for
mer Populist candidate for president
As a vital factor in the fight, Wat
son may be eliminated.
That leaves the real fight between
Palmer, as champion of the Wilson
administration ''in it's every phase" "
including the peace treaty exactly as
signed at Versailles, and Smith, en-
dorsing the administration in general
hut against its effort to include cot
ton in the food control bill and for
the adoption of protective reserva-
tions to the peace treaty.
Victory for Palmer in the Georgia
primaries, then, will mean that the
Democrats of this state stand by the
president in his demand for ratitica-
ton of the treaty without reserva-
tions, and will put the Palmer candl-
dacy on firm footing.
Victory for Smith will mean re-
pudiation of the presidents last
ditch stand on the treaty.
But victory for Smith will mean
more than that.

Peaceful Schley County
Has Nothing For Court

Judge Littlejohn, of the Superior
court, announced yesterday he would
not go to Ellaville Monday, the day
designated by law for opening the
semi-annual term of the Schley Su-
perior court, for the reason that too
few cases are on the docket in that
county to justify the holding Of a
term of court at this time.
Schley county is regarded as one
of the most law-abiding counties in
Georgia. Its citizens take a great
deal of pride in law enforcement,
and juries are said to be in the habit
of doing their duty when cases are
brought before them. As a result
infractions of law and order are usu-
ally at minimum in Schley.
