Few Strikers Are Anxious to
Resume Work. Leaders
Show No Indications for
Change of Present Policy.
(By Associated Press)

BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 29-Little
changed showed on the surface of
things in the strike of the oil workers.
Road guards continued to permit auto
mobiles to pass unchallenged and cen
tinued to report machines entering the
oil fields and carrying capacity loads.
A few of the smaller operators who
continued to operate are reported to
be laying off part of their men.
While no open statement of disccn-
tent could be heard, some of the strik-
ers were very generally reported to
be anxious to return to work, and let
the settlement of any questions be-
tween them and their employers be
taken up while wages were coming in
again. None, however, have broken
away and the strike leaders gave no
indications of any change in policy.
FRESNO, Sept. 29-About 40 armed
men with rifles and shotguns entered
the property of the Pacific Oil com
pany, five miles from Coalinga last
night and served notice on employees
of the water plant that the plant was
to be shut down. According to Sheriff
Jones who was summoned to the
plant several of the men were recog-
nized as striking oil workers.

Mr.. Cripps said, "that retailers

In reference to fall and winter mer-

ready to wear merchandise for wome n

this type and score the second big cut
in storage battery prices that has
been made by this company within the
last year. And, strange as it may
seem, it is fact that the present
selling price is less than the price at
which this battery was sold four
years ago.
son deciding on an extensive ad-
vertising campaign on this special
battery, it was only natural that the
Prest-O-Lite company should turn to
the newspapers. And their wisdom is
fully justified in the magnificent busi-
ness that we are now doing.
at shows very clearly that the
public will buy quality product at
the right price. All talk of buyers
strike on storage batteries at least, is
now ancient history. Owners Of light
cars throughout the country now know
that they can buy genuine Prese-O-
Lite battery, famous for it's long life
and reserve power at a price that Is
made possible only through the pro-
duction of many thousands per month.
Every ear owner who purchases
one of these batteries Is assured Of the
highest grade, longest lived and best
product that money can buy. The
Prest-O-Lite company leads in the
reduction of storage battery prices
and unquestionably won for itself
lasting place in the hearts Of Ameri-
can car owners"

Soviet Russia is an awful warning
Many things have happened there TO
cool the former zeal of bolshevik

Riga reports that even Leninc has
grown discouraged and said in
speeches and writings that he had
lost all hope of the revolution and
was tired of it all. Another dispatch
brings the news that the soviet gov
eminent has closed the frontiers
against immigrants from America,
action probably taken because pre-
vious arrivals from the United States
had become antagonistic to the soviet
scheme.
Radicalism has run its course in
this country and the "reds" them
selves have grown weary of their
stupid cantankerous tactics. The i'm

the bolsheviks outside want to stay
