MACHINE GUNS STOP RIOTERS AT KNOXVILLE
Republican Orators May Trail President Wilson on Speech Tour
OUTLOOK IN STEEL CRISIS BRIGHTENS
. :
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Belief
that Monday will bring action by
President Wilson in the controversy
between steel workers and Judge
Gary, chairman of the United States
Stee]l Corporation, was expressed here
Sunday by union heads.
President Wilson, union officials
hope, will communicate by letter or
telegram with Gary, who has twice
refused to receive a committee of the
steel workers threatening to strike
unless their union is recognized.
Although steel workers have di
rected their national officials to call a
strike Monday, provided Gary refused
to receive them by Sunday, union of
ticials here, including President Sam
uel Gompers of the American Feder
ation of Labor, are confident drastic
action will not be taken by the work
ers at least some days.
Union heads here say the demands
of the workers are in line with the
labor policy enforced for the govern
ment by the national war labor board
during the war. This policy affirmed
the right of employees to organize
and bargain collectively and*prohib
ited their discahrge for union affilia
tions.
Labor Troubles
May Delay Tour
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—The crit
ical labor situation may delay the
beginning of President Wilson's
speaking tour for the League of Na
tions, scheduled for Wednesday night,
it was suggested here Sunday.
\ The President, however, is making
preparations to leave on schedule
with the hope that, with President
Samuel Gomperg on the job here, the
American Federation of Labor offi
cials will be able te bring about a
peaceable adjustment of the contro
versy raised by steel workers threat
ening to strike.
The President today planned to
take a complete rest. He and Mrs,
Wilson were to agtend church in the
morning and take a long automobile
ride in the afternoon.
Monday the President expeects to
take time to revise his outline of the
speeches he will deliver. Although he
began work on the speeches weeks
ago, they were laid aside recently
because of the press of business con
nected with the international situa
tion and the labor situation

Indians to Greet
Wilson in West
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 31.—Lead
ers of various Indian nations of
Oklahoma, dressed in native cos
tumes, will greet Presidemd Wilson
when he visits this ecity September
26 on his League of Nations tour, if
plans now under way are carried out,
Many tribes, committeemen in
charge of the plans said, would be
eager to participate in the event, In
dian chiefs feel, they said, that greet
ings from peoples who have main
tained intact the traditions of their
fathers under a “mandatory” of
“great white chiefs” would have a
double significance when the Presi
dent arrives to defend his ‘plan for
mandatories for less powerful peo
ples under the League of Nutions

wearing a velvet hat in mid
summer and a straw one in mid
winter, the fashionable woman
has managed thus far to worry
along on a two-season sarto
rial diet and to inject enough
variety into her wardrobe to
make it at least novel, according
to leading modistes here.
But the inappropriate way of
dressing is about to receive a
death blow at the hands of a
group of men who have started
a movement to divide the calen
dar into four distinct seasons.
The organizers in session here,
declared the four-season idea
both altruistic and commercial;
altruistic because it will keep
the millinery workers busy all
the year instead of only six
months, and commercial because
it will deprive the female bar

sons prize and force her to buy
instead one, of the new season’s

Police - and National Guard officersy
heartened by a day of quiet, believed
early Sunday night that the riot site
uation here was under control. ;
The last semblance of a mob was
digpersed early Sunday. With troops
on duty in the affected districts
armed with rifles and machine guns,
further outbreaks were not expected,
officers declared,
Orders prohibiting congregating of
crowds will be enforced as aprotective
measure, it was stated. Persons found
with firearms will be arrestad, '
. The know death toll early Sundayw
night remained at five, with scores of
wounded, as a result of fighting S&%-

inm-'mrn d that because many wounded

‘be difficult to compile an accurate list
' of wounded.

county officials that Maurice Mny*

Mrs. Lindsay, had been removed to
Chattanooga, a mob of angry citizens
stormed the jail at midnight and ill?/!!
sisted that they be allowed to makes
an inspection of the cells. I“l§hM‘E
became general when the mob found
that the negro was beyond ¢ \

('lashes between whites and blflcfi:\"
followed immediately after the mob
left the jail. Jim JHenson, a welly
known Knoxville negro, was the firsh
vietim, falling riddled with bullets as«
ter he had attempted to charge the
mob single-handed, .
Negroes, gathering from the “blacke
