today of conferences called by the
chairman in an effort to avert a threat

international seamen's union, and other
spokesmen for the workers, asserted
that Il 10 per cent wage reduction de-

In an effort to avert the threatened
strike of marine workers set for May

A reduction in wages OF from 90 to 30
per cent was sought by the owners

cuts.
"a reduction of not less than IS

told the conference. Present economic
conditions fully warrant a reduction in
marine wages, the chairman declared

WARNING THAT BRACKETT

WOULDN'T BE GUTTER.

Muskogee. Okla. April 27.-A pre-
monition told Charles Bracket of

State Bank of Locust Grove, on Mon

Bracket confined in Jail here with
Busheyhead Wood of Tahlequah and
Curtis Hays, Of Stilwell, said today
that if Wood and Hays had taken his
advice they would be free today in
stead Of facing a penitentiary term.
According to Bracket, something"
told him that the bank robbery would
end in the capture Of the men. Ills
companions, ne says, insisted that they
carry out their plans and in order to
escape being considered "quitter" he
consented.
Bracket is a self-confessed pal Of
Henry Starr, noted Oklahoma outlaw,
who was fatally wounded in raid on
the Peoples National Bank at Harri-
son, Ark, last February.
Bracket was a member of the party
of bandits who made a raid on the
Harrison bank. Starr, before he died
told the Boone county authorities, that
he had a-uremonition the Harrison raid
would result in failure.
Brackett, Wood and Hays waived
