MARTIAL LAW Is
 DECLARED AT
 B0RGER. TEXAS
UNTIL AREA IS CLEARED OF LAWLESSNESS MARTIAL
 LAW REMAINS

BORGER, Texas, Sept, 30, P) -Brigadier General Jacob Vol ters, who headed the train-load of State troops from Fort Worth, officially declared martial law one minute after he had alighted from the train.
 He read the proclamation to Governor Moody and said mar tial law would be declared in affect at 3:3O p. m September 28.
 The General carried two pro- clamations from the State exc cutive, Governor Moody, and said all officers were suspended except the mayor, city attorney, the commissioner and justice of the peace.
 He pointed out that the law lessness that existed in Borger necessitated this drastic move. Eighty-four soldiers, of the Tex as National Guard, arrived with 14 officers.
 The proclamations ordered all Texas Rangers and their Cap tains to report immediately. The state troops will remain in Bor- ger, Hutchinson County, until that area is cleared of lawless- ness, Moody declared.
 Three Texas Rangers, headed by Sergeant Sheatley, left for Stinnett on an unexplained mis- sion connected with the general county cleanup.
 Current reports presaged sup planting county government with martial law
 EDITORS NOTE Martial law is government by arbitrary military power, superceding nun icipal, or State law, when the State is imperilled from without or within and the regular ad- ministration is unequal to the task of securing general safety. Martial law is declared to en- force extra ordinary measures. It is not a law as commonly un- 1 derstood, but an abrogation of law, having no legislative sane tion. The U. s. Supreme Court has held that a State legislature may proclaim it's existence should the safety of the public demand it. The Constitution tacitly permits it's proclamation in the clause providing that privileges of the writ of habeas corpus should not be suspended, except when necessary in the case of rebellion and invasion.

 With the acquisition of the four companies the Stanley Electro Tool Co. will become one Of the ranking manufacturers in this field.

The combined yearly busl- ness of the four companies and the stanley Electric Tool Co. is more than Sl,ooo.O0O, giving the new or ganization a commanding position in production and an unqucstioncd po- sition of supremacy financially.
 The Stanley Works has invited workmen employed in the newly bought factories 10 come 10 New Britain to make their homes and 1t is thought probable that many Of them will accept. Because of their specialized work, many of them arc skilled artisans.
 See City as Industry Center
 Officials Of the Stanley Works, all though conservative in their pre- dictions believe that New Britain will eventually become one of the most important Centcrs of electric tool production in the country. The line of the company is being oN- banded to encompass q broad as sortment of products for when there is q steady demand. The Grove company has manufactured an cleo tric saw and the chief product Of the Unishcar company is an "iectrI- cally operated shear for cutting metal The Ajax Co. assembled and sold an electric hammer which is considered superior to all other types and which is used in cutting through concrete, stone. etc. It has the advantage of functioning Whor- ever electricity IS available and is rot dependable OH a supply Of com pressed air.
