TROLLEY SERVICE TO START TOMORROW
FORMER JUDGE LYON GIVES
TALK ON CONSTITION

The constitution week meeting of
the Lions Club, held at noon today
in the New Packer House, proved
to be one of the most interesting
meetings held by this organizat:o on.
The speaker of the occasion was
former Judge Adrian Lyon and in a
very interesting way he pointed out
to the members of the club the
workings of this important document
and how the United States has sur
vived through many periods of trial
Following the paths as laid out by
our forefathers in the constitution.
Judge Lyon told how the constitu-
tlon was written, how it was adopt
cd and outlined the work of the
trainers of the document and how it
had been founded on a spirit of COM
promise. He declared that the swear
ing in of President Coolidge in a
little farmhouse in Vermont by lamp
light will go down in history as one
OF the important events in America.
However, Mr.. Lyon declared, even
this event had it's amusing side, for
if newspaper reports are true Mr..
coolidge telephoned to Washington
for the text of the oath of office.
and Mr.. Lyon pointed out that this
could have been found in the consti-
tuition and that surely Mr.. Coolidge's
father must. have a copy of this
document.
At the regular business session
the community entertainment tick
cts were distributed and the cele-
bration of Fathers Day was dis
cussed.

No Immediate Settlement in
Sight as Publishers Reject
Proposals of Union

NEW YORK, Sept. 2O-New
York's newspaper pressmen's strike,
which has curtailed publication of
ali leading dailies since Tuesday
morning, faced little prospects of
immediate settlement today. the
publishers at a meeting last night
having rejected propositions put
forth by the local union and de-
manded that George L. Berry, presi-
dent of the International Union. re-
woke the locals charter and form a
new organization.
Whether this request would be
granted, Mr.. Berry declined last
night to say. He pl ously had or
dered the men to urn to work,
characterizing theii walkout as il
legal and telling them the charter
would be taken away If they did not
break the strike. A meeting of Of
ficers of the International Union
was called for this morning and it
was expected definite action one

ques: would result.

papers, which they have done since
the strike started.
You have assured us" the owners
told Mr.. Berry, that you would out
law the local union and give char
ter to another union. We will not
deal further with this defiant union.
We await your promised action to
revoke the charter of this defiant
local union"
The unions proposition for settle
ment which was rejected by the
owners called for the appointment
of an arbitration board consisting of
three union members, three publish
crs and three impartial members.
They asked that nothing be done in
the way of a permanent agreement
until this board decided upon the
question of hours, wages and the
number of men to each press. The
union also demanded that conditions
prevailing before the award of Judge
Manton in March, 1922, be restored.
Upon reports that a newspaper
delivery truck had been attacked on
Manhattan bridge by strikers or
strike sympathizers, ten police de-
partment automobiles were added to

Shortly after the attack on the
bridge the ten police cars were said

perintendent of deliveries for pro-
lection.
An alarm sent police headquarters
from the Daily News brought re-
serves to the press room entrance of

formed the nucleus of a rapidly

Strike Them Down, He Says,
CHASING Crosses Pagan
Emblem of Fear

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 20 (By
The Associated Press) To forestall
charges that the extraordinary ses-
sion of Oklahoma legislature, called
to assembly next Wednesday, is a
''Klan legislature" a committee of
seven state representatives issued a
statement today in which they de-
clared they advocated "a law proni-
biting the wearing of masks, of
masked assemblages, and of severe
penalties for any flogging or mob
violence of any FORM"
Fiery crosses of the Klan
which have blazed nightly over Ok
lahoma since Governor j. c. Walton
declared war on the secret organi-
zation were ordered struck down in
a proclamation issued here early
today by the executive.
'The Fiery Cross is the pagan en-
blem of fear, hatred and rebellion"
declared the governor. at now is
high aloft as an emblem of fear in
many public places, evincing its en-
croachment upon the civil govern
ment of the state"
Declaring that the issue is clear
iy drawn-"Our government under
the stars and stripes or the invisible
empire, under the fiery cross
Governor Walton called upon all civil
authorities and military forces of the
state to dismantle the emblems OF
the Ku Klux Klan wherever they are
found in public places.
The call for an extraordinary
session of the lower House to con-
slider a series of charges that Cover
nor Walton has taken unto himself
the powers of despot and has sup
planted constitutional government
: with dictatorship, was issued early
this morning.
The call made public by w. d. Me-
Bee, representative from Stephens
county, bore the names of forty
House members, with the promise
that during the day the list would
grow to fifty-four. constituting
majority of the House.
Noon of next Wednesday is the
hour fixed for the assembling of
the lawmakers.
Representative McBee declared
that he anticipated no attempt by
the governor to carry out his threat
to jail the legislators in the event
that they convened.
''The folly of attempting to carry
out his threat to arrest members
has been made apparent to him. He
realizes that the call is legal and
cannot be forestalled," McBee as
serted.
At almost the same moment the
legislative call was promulgated,
Governor Walton appealed to the
people of the state in a proclamation
to repudiate the attempt of the law
makers to assemble. charging that
those sponsoring the movement are
"Klan members of the legislature,
INSPIRED by the Invisible Empire
and aided by the KIan press"

SPECIAL POLICE GUARD
AT SYNAGOGUE HERE

Special police protection was had
at the synagogue on Madison avenue
last night, where Yom Kippur serv-
ices were being held, as a result of
rumor that the members of the Ku
Klux Klan were planning to blow up
the building. The police were de-
tailed about the building in such
way that It would have been impos-
sible for a klansman to get near to
the structure.
The sending of letter to a syna-
gogue in the Bronx, making this
threat, is believed to have been re-
sponsible for the uneasiness here.
This communication is said to have
