Chickasha Okla, March 5, 1921.
This statement is addressed to every fair
minded thinking citizen of Chickasha We be-
lleve all good citizens are for a better Chicka-
sha, better Grady county, and better Ok
lahoma. First of ALL we want to see our city
grow and prosper. We declare ourselves for
any good movement which would tend for the
betterment of this city Conditions exist now
which are daily growing worse right here in
our midsts We feel that the majority Of the
citizenship do not approve of these conditions
nor do they intend to tolerate such conditions
longer.
"A factionalism is a detriment to any town
or community. Fair dealing with spirit of CO.
operation is necessary for success for any, city
or community. A specific example has been
brought to our attention today.
Mr. J, T. Gossett, proprietor of the Early
Hotel of Chickasha, not being able to meet the
demands of the culinary union has been placed
on a socalled unfair list with organized labor
unions. This affects the Early Hotel and. the
Early Hotel dining ROOM Not only does it af
feet Mr. Gossett in his business, but if the citi-
zenship of this town tolerate the tactics to ef-
feet the demands of the culinary union, it will
affect every business, as we'll as individual, in
our city. The demands were: That Mr.. Cos
sett employ union chef at $40 per week and
board, that he employ a second cook at $50 per
week and board, that employ all union wait
resses in his dining room at SIS per week and
board, that he employ a bus boy at SIS per week.
and board. These employees work hours, 45
minutes per day with the privilege of each en-
ployee using their employers time in which to
eat their own meals, allowing 80 minutes for
each meal; leaving only six hours and fifteen
minutes per day in which to work.
This condition making expenses exorbi-
tant, and Mr.. GOSSett believing in che privilege
and right of every citizen to employ whomso-

A Public Statement

ever he DESIRES declined to sign such a contract
with the Culinary union.
We have information that on or about
Thursday night, March g. 1921, the Trades
Council of Chickasha, through which all local
unions affiliate, met in session and passed
resolution which in substance is as follows, to-
wit: That all merchants who have a union card,
all union clerks and all other union men who
are now stopping at the Early Hotel would
have to move or they would be classed as un-
fair to all organized labor and it is the duty
OF all union men to report another who does
not comply with this order.
When the demands of the Trades Council
: became known "a mass meeting was held at the
Chamber OF Commerce Rooms by strong rep
resentative body of the citizenship of Chicka-
sha. Every financial institution in our city, and
many OF the mercantile and other business es-
adjustments were represented. Mr.. G0sSett
made the statement as above outlined of the
demands that were made on him and his busi-
ness. After a general discussion concerning
the conditions as they exist in our city with
express determination from every individual
to lend his power to correct these conditions,
specific resolution was passed as follows, to-
wit:
That this body Of representative citizens of
the City of Chickasha, Oklahoma, in open mass
meeting go on record as emphaticaHy disap-
proving the action of the Trades Council Of
Chickasha, Oklahoma, and affiliated local un-
ions, in ordering boycott Of trade toenforee
their demands that we most emphaticaHy
approve of the resolution affecting the Early
Hotel, and further that we disdpprOUe any and
all resolutions by any and all organizations
that would tend, to wrong any individual citi-
zen or any legitimate business whatsoever in
our city. #a
This resolution was unanimously passed
and orders were issued that it be printed SO

that the balance of our citizenship that were
unable to attend this mass meeting should have
an opportunity to know of this particular con-
dition.
To the citizens who were not present at this
meeting, and who approve of this step as a for
ward movement for a better Chickasha, big
ger Chickasha and cleaner Chickasha you
can align yourself with this movement by plac-
ing your name in the hands of the committee
selected
We do not wish to wage fight on any one
We do not wish to see any one out of employ
ment, but we do emphaticaly declare that tao
tics which are now being used in our city to ef-
feet demands are far beyond all rights of JUS
tlce from any individual or organization. From
the foundation of this world until today, man
in both his individual and collective capacity in
all walks of life has realized that favors and
demands acquired by the sacrifice of principle
and right are temporary pleasures purchased
at an exceedingly high price.
This citizenship of Chickasha represented
at the mass meeting does not intend to allow
the principle of right to be sacrificed, and wish
to go on record further with this statement
They emphatically disapprove of boycotts to
effect the demands of organized labor or capi-
tai; that we approve of every individual every
corporation, co-partnership, business of any
and all natures, conducted on a fair and egiti-
mate basis.
We are entering into a new -eficien-
cy will have it's reward.
We respectfully submit this open state
ment to the citizenship of our town

VOLSTEAD AGAIN
 THUMPS TOM-TOM
 ANDDRyS SHOUT
ProhibitioniStS, Roberts Says, Dug Up Ratchet, Smeared on the War Paint and
 Take War Path
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The AEe-Hersld
 300 Davidson Building

Washington, April 2s.-(Special)- Representative Volstead is again humping his tom-tom, and the lasciv- land. The prohibitionists in Congress have dug up the hatchet, and in full war paint, are on the warpath, It is all about beer. The former attorney general rendered an opinion to this effect:
 That inasmuch as Congress by statute recognized the medicinal properties of alcohol, and permitted the prescribing of whisky as a tonic, there was noth- ing to prevent the legal prescribing of beer and wine.
 The Anti-Saloon league immediately got busy. and instructed its men in Congress to checkmate the decision of the attorney-general by denying the right, through specific legislation, of anyone to prescribe beer. MT. Vol stead prepared and introduced his anti beer bill. The prohibitionists in Con- gress will put it into effect.
 In the meantime, the new attorney general, MT. Daugherty, has a real prob lem on his hands. The jails of the country are so full of prisoners charged with violating the prohibition code, and the dockets of the courts are so greatly crowded with prohibition cases, that justice has little opportunity to attend to material business. He has carried his sad story to Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, with plea for a so- 1ution of his problem. One sugges- ton is that Congress authorize the ap- pointment of fifteen additional federal judges to sit for three years or more, and devote their entire time to clear ing the docket of prohibition cases.

OLIVER ATTACKS
 NAVY SCHEDULE

Washington, April S.-(Special.) "A plot for hastily graduating the two up- per classes at Annapolis, in order that officers of temporary high rank might retain such rank permanently, has been hinted at in the House of Representa- tives Representative w. B. Oliver of Alabama, in course of debate on the naval appropriation bill, said:
 'It was developed before the naval subcommittee that, yielding to the in- sistence of naval officers, the class of 1922 at Annapolis. has been ordered graduated in December, 1921; and there is afloat the rumor that the 1923 class will be graduated in June 1922.
 Every member of the subcommittee on appropriations, and I think every member of the legislative committee on naval affairs, are of opinion that this course is unwise. The antiquities at Annapolis-the high naval officers there-have disapproved 1t and feel that it will be hurtful to the service and harmful to the young naval officers.
 The chairman of the legislative com mittee on naval affairs, Representa- tive Butler of Pennsylvania, asked MT. Oliver: Does the gentleman under stand the reason of it?''
 "The reason" replied Mir. Oliver, "is doubtless the fear on the part of some officers, now holding high temporary commissions, that they may not be able to maintain such rank after December next, unless there is an inflow from the bottom. Is that the gentleman's be- lief as to the reason?"
 To which MT. Butler replied in the affirmative.

AUBURN OFFERING
 TEA;"9 99RARy LICENSE
College Is Prepaged to Give Examinations to Prospective
 Alabama Teachers

Auburn, April S.-(SpeciaL) )-High school graduates who want to teach next year but have no license can secure a temporary certificate by passing. in a satisfactory manner, six weeks pro- fessional course at either of the class A normals, the University of Ala bama or Auburn, according to a state ment just issued by Dean z.

 Professor Judd states that this was made possible by a recent ruling of the state department of education at Mont gomery. and the license received in this way is known as a pre-normal certifi- cate, which ranks as a second grade teachers certificate, and is good for only one year.
 Concurrent with this statement Pro- lessor Judd announces that professional courses leading to these pre-normal cer- tificates will be taught at the next Au- burn summer school which will begin June S. and as a result of this ruling by the state department of education it is expected that a large number of high school graduates win take ad- vantage of this opportunity to prepare themselves for teaching during the next scholastic year.

Tuscaloosa, April 8.-(Special )--Con- siderable interest is being manifested in this city over conditions caused by sched- ules over the Louisville and Nashville, Alabama Great Southern and Mobile and Ohio railroads.
