the police, asserted that he had is
sued no such orders, nor had he
given permission, he said, to any
one to pack banners on the streets.
Comment generally in the city hall
was to the effect that the Sixth
floor had issued the orders to the
police direct, ignoring Mayor Stod-
den.
In connection with the arrests of
the pickets, it was pointed out that
in the celebrated case of Lindsay
& Co. against the Montana Federal
Labor union, in 1908, known as
the boycott case,' the supreme
court held that the packing of ban
1ers in front of places of business
is entirely lawful. Iii The case of
the Empire theater versue Don
oEhue and Partelow, Judge Glenn
ent. then district Judge at Helena
held that the placarding of "un-
fair places by unions was legal.
Ills decision also was affirmed by
! the supreme court.

Livingston. April 5.--The big
lockout is still on in Livingston. The
Associated Industries, backed By
business men who have made their
bread and butter off the Livingston
union men, are out to make Living
ston an open town.
The Park Milling company, manu-
facturers of the Gateway flour, after
operating under the new scale, noti-
fled their employees that they would
pay only the old scale and the en-
ployes walked out.
The Monida Trust, which operates
the private water system, and is con-
trolIed by James Murray OF Butte, is
paying the new scale and refused to
lockout it's employees. Representa-
tives of Mr.. Murray made the state
ment that the Monida Trust was in
no way connected with the Associ-
ated Industries and did not want
any one to think that he was fight
ing tho union men Of Livingston. !.

the exception of the few who are
declared to DC "stool pigeons none

At the inStigntion OF Evans last

who were not affected by the lock-
out, Il resolution was put over, il
legally, it is claimed, to rcinstatc

Associated Industries Lockout Of

The city council has taken sides
against the workers.. Over 100 serv-
ice pipes are to be connected with the
municipal water mains and the coun-
ell refuses to work men on making
the connections as on city streets
until the trouble is settled. In fact
the city council locked out its en-
ployes like the members Of the Asso-
ciated Industries.
The prospects are that the business
men on the city council will be put
OH the unfair list before many hours
are over. The men are standing
firm and are determined to win.

INNOCENT CHILDHOOD DROPS A TEAR ON
THE CASKET OF THEIR DEAD FRIEND

Late at night three little street urchins timidly walked
into the room and softly took their places beside the watchers
over the dead body of Jake L. Hamon. Their little frames
shaking with sobs, hand in hand they gaZed in silence upon
his features as the tears streamed down their cheeks. Who
they were none of us knew, and they left as silently as they
had come. In the face Of such tribute as this, words OF praise
from us are vain.
Jake's life was as open as the wind-swept prairies, which,
thanks to his magic touch, now tremble under the locomotives
tread, whose shrill whistle sends the prairie dog Scurrying to
his hole, while the music of its toning bell blends with the song
of the lark. He laid his hands upon these selfsame plains,
and cities grew up over night, and, mushroom-like, derrcks
sprang up to add their golden fluid to the riches of commerce.
Frank, open and sincere, he strOve to hide nothing but
his virtues. In him was combined the brain of a Napoleon
with a heart as tender and generous as that of a woman.
In his death, Ardmore has lost her best friend, Oklahoma
her biggest citizen, and the country a master mind.
The world had given him more than any one' could ask
for, and he was in the midst of plans for using these riches
to better humanity when Death laid his cold hand upon his
shoulder and claimed him for his own. Why this had to be
we cannot understand. 1t is not for the finite mind to question
the inscrutable wisdom of the Infinite.
Barely twelve months ago he entered active politics, and
the annals of history reveal no such rapid rise as his. 1t is a
and assisted in the election of our president. 1t is an open
secret that, had he lived, he would probably have been the
next Republican national chairman.
As | gaze upon his dead features, my mind continually
reverts to these words of Mark Anthony, greving over the
dead body of julius Caesar:
20 world, thou vast the forest of this hart!
How like a deer stricken by many hunters
Dost thou here lie!
O mighty Caesar, dost thou lie so low
All thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils,
Shrunk to this little measure
Fare thee wellw

MCDONALD SENDS MESSAGE OF
COINCIDENCE FROM NEW YORK

The following tribute to Jake L. Hamon is paid by a NE
long friend and business associate who knew the man for his
true worth, and wishes to add his word of praise to the many
virtues of the dead financier:
New York, November q, 1920.
The Ardmoreite.
Ardmore, Oklahoma.
May I say through the columns of your paper that in the
death of Mr.. Hamon the state of Oklahoma has lost the great
est heart within its borders. During years of association in
business with Mr.. Hamon, he impressed upon my mind that he
would give the great fortune that he had accumulated to carry
the state Of Oklahoma for the Republican party, and he entered
the contest for National Committeeman only to render service
to the Republican party of our great state, and he alone with
his magnificent ability and strength carried the state for Mr..
Harding.
], like all patriotic citizens of Oklahoma, am grieved at
his death. AS you know, Mr.. Hamon was a relentless fighter
against all of his foes, and the greatest friend that any man
could have. loved him better than a brother, and you know.
Mr.. Easley. he never let an opportunity pass to render you or
any one else a service, and in his death Oklahoma has lost its
greatest friend, and Ardmore its greatest citizen.

A NATION STOPS TO PAY TRIBUTE

a clerk in a country store, Jake L. Hamon rose to that point
before he reached the half-century mark where a nation
pays tribute to his memory at his untimely passing. His
record of achievements covered a space of only a few years,
but in that time he built railroads across the trackless prai-
ris of Oklahoma and Texas, he had hundreds of wells
a place with a hundred of the wealthieSt men of the nation
and he would have climbed to a point within a decade
where he would have been in a class of fifty of Americas
greatest financiers. That Ardmore and that the nation had
appreciation for his real worth, is made manifest by the
sincere expressions published today. AS a memento worthy
to be kept for all time by his family, The Ardmorete in its
sorrow at his being taken away publishes these pages.
Of many hundreds of kilograms which came to Mrs.
Jake L. Hamon and Frank L. Ketch, we publish below only a
few. These kilograms come from points covering a wide
area of the country, from Massachusetts, to California, and
from Oregon to the Carolnas.

HIS WORD WAS AS GOOD AS HIS
BOND WITH HIS RAILROAD BOYS

The very unfortunate and untimely death of President
Hamon came as a distinct shock to all of the employees of the
Wichita Falls, Ranger and Fl. Worth Railroad.
He was held in the highest esteem by them, they had i'm
.plicit confidence in him, and upon the receipt of the news Of
his death, there were, throughout the general offices, in the
shops, and along the entire length of the railroad, many earn
est and sincere expressions of deep grief, sadness and regret.
His pronounced democratic and congenial character caused
him to be known and respected by all of his employees regard
less of their station.
Among the beautiful and lasting remembrances and les
sons, he leaves and which were an inspiration to his employees,
was the universal statement of all who knew him-that the
word Of Jake l.. Hamon was as good as a bond or a contract.

RESOLUTIONS

WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Master of the Universe to
remove from among us, our beloved employer, Jake L. Hamon.
NOW, Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, by his employees:
FIRST: We receive with profound sorrow the distressing
children, and to all his kin, in the experience of inconsolable
grief and loss our deep and abiding sympathy.
SECOND: We wish on this sad occasion to testify out Of
close and intimate association with him, lasting through his
upward climb, to his solid worth as a man, friend, employer
and citizen. AS a man he was as a young Saul, before the
having the heart of a David. a a friend he was to us as
Damon and Pythias. AS an employer he was kind and con-
siderate, councillor and friend, ever fair, liberal and appreci-
ative. AS a citizen, he was patriotic and honest, ever ready
and willing to uphold the hand of the law, and he ever realized
the need of good citizens at the head of government. He was
no dweler of Liliputian tents, but his great breadth of vision
enabled him to see the greatness of life and of the state.
Those of us who knew him best, and who worked with him,
loved him best, and there will ever be impressed upon our
memories his many virtues, and we will ever revere his memory.
ployes, have experienced a real loss, yet in his life we have
realized a permanent gain; while we shall look no more upon
his face, hear his friendly words, or taste the pleasure of his
comradeship, yet we will retain from him a priceless inherit
ance, and while in the strength of full manhood, the further
completion of his lifes work have been cut off, yet he has this
his country and to his age.
THIRD That in token of our esteem and heartfelt SYM
pathy we transmit a copy of these resolutions to his bereaved
that in perpetuation hereof, we ask you ever remember that we
of his God in the Shadows of the West, and in his own language
inscribed upon Jack Loves monument, THE world is better
because this man has lived"
