MANY HOMELESS
As RESULT FIRE
400 Burned Out In North Carolina
Blaze; Local Department Unable
Check Flames; Calls to
other Towns.

Newbern, N. c., Dec. -Four hun
dred families here were homeless
today as authorities started an in
vestigation Of the fire which late
yesterday caused damage estimated
at more than a million dollars.
The fire started in the lumber
mill of the John l.. Roper Lumber
company and spread rapidly, famed
by high winds. Practically the en-
tire negro section of the city was
wiped out and more than hundred
white families were also made home
less by the conflagration.
The Newbern fire department, un-
able to cope with the flames called
on the surrounding cities for aid
when second fire in the negro
section broke out.
The onrush Of the flames through
the negro section was checked at
the cemetery, but the flames veered
to the north and swept down toward
the. union station.
A dozen or more persons have
been treated for painful burns but
hospital authorities say none will
prove fatal.
Dynamite was used in an effort to
check the spread Of the blaze but
high winds drove the flames across
the fire gaps opened by the ex-
plosion.
Railroad traffic through the city
has been suspended and telegraphic
communication is demoralized.
Nearby towns are rushing relief.

Indications are that, through the
liberality of the Chickasha public
and the energy of the Elks lodge, the
worthy poor children of this city are
to have wonderful Christmas.
Said indications are in the form
Of the patronage being accorded the
Elks charity carnival, which started
in the club rooms on Thanksgiving
evening and which is booked to end
there tonight. The second nights
run appeared to be slightly better
than the opening night, the receipts
last night totaling about $275, or
some $25 ahead of the night previous
according to lodge officials.
One feature which encouraged the
carnival management was that many
of those who attended the first

PLAN EXPANSION
Of LABOR PARTY
Extensive Program Of Farmer-L abor
Group Planned; None but Land
Owners May Belong; Walton
Administration Test.

McAlester, Dec. deliberations
of the farm-labor union here assure
national significance for the coming
session Of the Oklahoma legislature
and the first two years of the Wal
ton administration.
This organization, to which none
but farm owners and farm employees
may belong, is undertaking an in
tensive expansion program coincident
with definite effort to vitalize the
Walton platform at the coming legis-
lative session in Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma stands out among all
those states where farmer-labor sue
cess was scored as the only one
where the combination has a defin-
ite legislative program.
If this program can be enacted in
to law at the coming session, the
eyes of third parties and farmer
laborers will be turned towards this
state as leader.
The Farm-Labor union, with its
100000 members in six states, has
for it's immediate objects price fix
ing and long term credits and its
plan is to organize politically
throughout the nation to attain
these ends.
Whatever else may be said of the
union, it strikes the observer as
about the most militant of all the
various groups which support Wal
ton. Possibilities of the organiza-
ton were indicated by the way the
delegates warmed to Paul Nesbitt's
declaration that the great corpora
tions could yield gracefully or sub
nit to the will of the producer of
Oklahoma and to Miner Jack Brit
tons assertion that the state con-
stitution should be rewritten while
the Walton organization was intact

tor.

This was revealed In a poll OF the
upper house OF congress conducted
by the United Press today.
The entire democratic side OF the
chamber--with the exception of Sen
ators Ransdell and Broussard, Of
Louisiana-is against the measure.
This means 81 sure votes. IL will
require 40 to defeat the subsidy

The remaining fifteen votes against
the bill must come from republicans
II IL is beaten The progressive re-
publicans who are said TO be lined
up against the measure include:
Senators Borah, Brookartl Capper,
Gooding, Ladd, Lafollette, Lenroot,
MeNary. Norbeck.
This brings the total of practically
sure votes against the measure to A.
Five more votes are required.
These five votes must come from
the two remaining progressive SEN
ators, France and Couzens of Mich
igan, or the republicans of the mid
west farming states, who have not
