Order One of the Most Active In 8tate Is in Position to Enter-taian State Meeting Royally When a party of fifty or more Okmulgee Elks attends the state meeting In Muskogee next month it will have two purposes The first Is to display the Okmulgee spirit of merriment The second will be to bring the 1913 state meeting to and the dele gatlon from 1136 will not reist until It sees that Okmulgee Is well considered It Is likely that the Okmulgee crowd will travel to Muskogee In an automobile caravan arriving there some fifty strong In ten or fifteen machines They will endeavor to show other Oklahomans that Okmulgee means business and that the local order of Is one of the most active in the state Okmulgee la so situated as to be able to entertain royally the state gathering While the Elks' building Is neither large nor a bit of architectural beauty the hoepltallty that It shelters Is far famed and the geniality of the members Is a matter of common knowledge There will be much rivalry between tbe larger towns and it Is possible that Okmulgee will not run a good chance to get the meeting In the battle against overwhelming numbers from Oklahoma City Guthrie and the larger cities Nevertheless the effort will be made and tbe various Okmulgee delegates will work their hardest for this place The state meeting of next month Is looked forward to with the greatest anticipation by all the state over Numbers of Okmulgee lodge men have announced their Intention to be In Muskogee at the time of the meeting At last Tulsa meeting a delegation of thirty or more attended from this city The plans of the local order never have been broached formally but it Is understood that the offer will be made even if tbe chances of obtaining the meeting are small Schedule of BEE MINERS I LAST OF NEXT WEEK WILL FIND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LABORERS ON STRIKE ALLIED INDUSTRIES WILL SUFFER IRBITHAIIOX IS IMPOSSIBLE Tha country la face to taco with the Tea teat coal atrlke In ita history Un-eas tha unexpected happena and the iperators and miners arrive at some lompromlse in tne meantime 170000 intbraclte miners will quit work on arch SI a week from tomorrow and iccordlng to President John White if the United Ulne Workers of Amerl-ia 600000 bituminous miners will ralk out with them This would result in stopping the supply of practically the entire rorld with the British and German lation-wide strikes simultaneously in rogress The agreement under which the an-hraclte miners have been working or the last nine years expires at noon March SI If no new agreement Is eached by that time the strike will iegin automatically unless all Desolations between the representatives operators and miners are broken off ntlrely beforehand In which case the trike will be directly and definitely rdered by the union officials All of tha demands of the miners br changes in the existing agreement ave been flatly refused by the op-rators who on their part have offered ounter propositions that amounts to radically the same provisions as the Id agreement The miners demand a twenty per ent increase in wages recognition of he union and that the operators col-set the union dues from the miners iy deducting them from their wages a eight-hour day a guaranteed minimum wage payment by the ton intend of by the car load abolishment the Conciliation Board which Is om posed of both miners and opera-ora and that the new agreement be Dr one year Instead of for three as he operators Insist Conferences between the represen-ativs of miners and oprators have not et been abandoned but there is be-leved to be practically no chance that he two sides can come together on he points at issue For the first time the agreements if the hard coal miners and the soft oat miners end on the same day leretofore these agreements expired I year apart and therefore when the tard coal men were striking the soft ioal men were mining coal and vice rersa Consequently the situation ras nothing like as serious as It will le In the event that the strike now eaten ed eventuates 'he bituminous miners are like anthracite miners also fighting higher wages Recently they ask for a 10 per cent Increase In wages I were met with a cut of 10 per iL Tbelr discontent In some quar-s against the operators la greater than that of the anthracite work President White of the Mine Work-(declared today that he was still ping that tbe operators would give at the Uat uiouieut but said be lieved there was practically no ance of It and that It looked as If walk out would have to occur The itter is now resting with a sub-mmlttee composed of two operators id two miners representatives After extensive Inquiries It has been edicted that tbe available supply of isl cannot last more than a month he operators are under the condl-ons far from willing to close their jnes realizing the disaster that the xtke would mean to the as well as others At the same time they say te demands are unreasonable and to rant them

declaration as a candidate for tbe democratic nomination for governor id mi rnn iiiih mt But the Orange Huckster Didn't 8how Police 8earch for Men Who Violated Pure Food Law The plans of sixteen well-known Okmulgee women of the fashionable East side residence district to get revenge on the hucksters who victimized them were as fruitless as the twenty for twenty-five cent oranges they purchased 8aturday The wily foreigners failed to travel their ac-! cuatomed- route this morning through Chickasaw and Miami avenues This and this alone saved them from aq at-i tack that would have made look docile the miserable little uprisings of London's militant suffragettes oranges" as one of tbe women said It as disappointing as a picnic They had perfectly lovely looking outsides but underneath the! golden skin were too green mouldy to think of eating" But the sale was good Thirty or 'more housewives on one street planned to surprise bubby with their econ-j omy and bought stocks that would safely last through tbe summer Thai supply was unlimited for tbe hucksters had a farm wagon filled with the fruiL This morning several calls Were sent to tbe police station where It was learned that the vendors had no license and could be prosecuted on deveral counts Two blue coats from the central station were dispatched by Chief Farr to gather them In but they had disappeared leaving behind them only a well defined trail of golden fruit Okmulgee officers are determined to put a stop to the illegal sale of fruits and wares of various kinds The ped-lers however spring up every minute and to keep them all out would require the attention of the whole police force Merchants of the city who Insist that the law be enforced feel that the housewives were taught a lesson Saturday econd season commences on July 1 GOVERNMENT FORCES ARE SUR-ROUNDED AND RUNNING SHORT OF FOOD AND WATER PLAN TO MAKE BOLD DASH FOR LIBERTY liy Apsoclntfid Press Jiminei Mexico March 25 Under the broiling sun the battle which has raged three days between the rebels and federals resumed this morning near Corralltos Both sides are -nearly exhausted The federals are apparently surrounded and are short of food and water Last night General Refurardo Bro-gas of the federal forces dispatched a messenger asking aid The messenger was intercepted Rebel forces take this as a sign that the federals can last but a short while longer and they are prepared to fight on the walt-It-out principle Both sides are so nearly exhausted after the three days vlgllence that neither is capable of making an attack worth the effort The camp that remains longest supplied will evidently force tbe other to surrender Surrounded the federals have little chance unless they are reinforced Possibility of this seems unlikely Mexican Situation Is Bad 'Warfare Is now being'conducted In different sections of the country mainly In tbe interior and It is thought that the situation is again serious The rebel forces seem Incon-querable and despite all the efforts of government troops the outlaw bands continue to harass federal troops at every opportunity carrying on a sort of guerilla warfare that Is hard to stamp out Few leaders of revolts have been caught and the spirit of rebellion still prevails everywhere Americans have little to fear from thq attacks yet the battles in various parts of tbe country are extremely serious to foreigners who live In the Interior Capitulation Expected It is thought probable that the rebel forces will have brought federal leaders to terms of capitulation before nightfall With this understanding prevalent and generally known to the rebel forces a concentrated attack will probably be made by rebels everywhere in the country almost Immediately In hopes that a general and widespread movement will bring the government Into rebel power FOURTH WARD REGISTRATION Inspector Roach of the fourth ward today announced that he would open registration books at
