tf
 BAKERSFIELD, Cal, Sept. 20.- The strike of the oil field workers in this vicinity continues today without disturbances being reported to the strikers headquarters. Stage line managers reported the outward bound traffic from the strike districts had increased. Strike leaders said this exodus was composed of persons not employed in the oil industry.
 The patrol of the strike districts by the law and order committee of the strikers continued to operate on all roads leading to the oil fields to pre- vent the importation of strike break CTS. County authorities continued a policy of non-interference with the patrol system.
 The system is almost military in its operation. Each district has crew of men, wearing the red. white and blue badges of the flaw and order committee" and usually the union button as well.
 In one district the organization par allels that of an army. There is a commander who sits before a row of telephones and communicates with his battalion chiefs. who in turn di- rect patro. captains to whom the men report In the other districts the or ganization is less complex, but trips through them indicate that it is al- most as effective.
 The men are all, or nearly all, depu- tized by the constables of the various townships in which they are patrol ing.
