GOVERNMENT IS PREPARING FOR GENERAL STRIKE (CONTINUED FHOM PAGE ONE) Tho unionises interpreted tills to mean tho acceptance of decreased wages, and of the seven hour day. “Recruiting stailons for volunteers will bn opened today,” said Sir William .Johnaon-Hlcks, home secretory, in answer. “His majesty's government has taken all steps to maintain the supply of food, fuel, light and power with protection for al) those engaged In these services, and for the preservaion of law and order.” Troops began moving Saturday and the military and naval activity la gaining momentum, although it has not Involved a large number of soldiers or sailors. A battalion of infantry was enroute today to the South Wales mine fields; troops and sailors were bang concentrated In their barracks. All marines on local passes have been summoned to Portsmouth but naval leave has not yet been curtail-, ed except for some radio men who! have been recalled, presumably for coastal wireless duly. The strike hit the London Daily Mail today, compelling the London, office of that groat paper to close | down owing to a strike in the mechanical departments of union men who objected to an editorial | prepared for today’s paper. The editorial denied that the general strike could be viewed as an industrial dispute and called it a threat, against the life of the community.] The Mail called on all citizens to support the king and country. Foreseeing the possibility of all ; Britsili papers being closed by the strike, the government, has taken over the lrroa<Vas’tin|t fticUiticft |of the country and is already putting bulletins on the air. Violence has occurred in Glasgow . •ind in London, in each case the result of Fascisti efforts to heckle labor or socialist outdoor speakers. Police arrested two Fascist leaders in Glasgow and half a dozen in London. Great labor meetings took place elsewhere in Britain but without fight-, ing. Tho governnten announced todajr that plans had been completed to maintain vital railroad service. A spokesman for the admiralty urged ' all available citizens to enlist in the organization for the maintenance of supplies, upon which the government will rely for local transportation and distribution Os local food supplies. Food stocks were said to be normal. The country was virtually undfr martial law, pursuant to King . George’s declaration of the existance of an emergency and Baldwin’s as- [ sumptions of the vast power to gov- . ern by decree conferred upon him by the emergency act. Britain’s army was ordered today ■ to stand by for an emergency. . Every regiment was ordered to be prepared to move at two hours’ notice. The United Press was authoritatively informed that London possessed cold storage meat stocks Sufficient for cue month without rationing. Shortages of fresh meats and vegetables and other foods ndoubtedly would be felt soon after general stoppage of work. Smithfield market was packed today with thousands of trucks loading fresh and cold storage meats. Trains to Scotland) and England, were heavily laden with passengers ami there was a noticeable exodus ftoward Holland. • o Warns Against Primary Law Violations In State ' Indianapoiis, May 3—(United Press ' —Any law violation in connection with the state primary election on I the part of Marion county campaign workers will be quickly taken up by the grand jury, William Schaeffer, grand jury deputy, said today. • have already been made against the methods of workers in some Parts of the city, according to Schaeffer.

Synoptia CHAPTER I.—Bud Lee, hors* foreman of th* Blue Lak* ranch, convinced Bayne Trevors, mwager. la de-, llberately wrecking th* property owned by Judith Sanford, a youn® woman, her couetn.

CHAPTER ll.—Ths men on th* ranch dislike taking order* from a 1 g rl, but by aubdulng a vlcloue horse and proving her thorough knowledge of ranch life. Judith wine the best of I them over. Lee decide* to etay. CHAPTER Hl.—Convinced her veterinarian Bill Crowdy, Is treacherous. Judith dis.barges him. re-engaging an old friend of her father's. Doc. Tripp. •’No,” answered Bud gravely. “Now that you ask me, I wouldn't I Let’s go And that trail.” 11 “But,” continued Judith, “not being ■ a fool, and realizing that one of tha men we want might possibly be in hiding In here, I am going to peek In.” I ‘‘Not being n fool,” he repeated aft£r her, adding gently, "and being ' a girl, which means tilled with cu- ] rioslty.” 11 A disdainful shoulder gave him his • answer. The door was unlocked, afteF Immemorial western custom, and] Judith opened It. Lee heard her little] , gasp of pure delight. ’i "lie’s a dear, the man who lives I here!" she announced positively.' r j "You can just tell by looking at hl» ’ home.” , Looking in over her shoulder, Bud Lee wondered Just what in his onei room shanty had caught her enthusiasm. There was the rock fireplace j with an Iron hook protruding from each side for coffee-pot and stew-pot; i a bunk with a blanket smoothed over I cedar boughs; a shelf with a dozen ' books; little else, so far as he could > see or remember, to cutch at Judith’s , delight. Yet she, looking through I woman's eyes, read in one quick "peek” the character of the dweller . in this abode. One who was content with little, who loved a clean, outdoor 1 life, and who was tranquilly above the I pettiness of humanity. Judith closed ■ the door softly. Going straight across the plateau, - she showed him where one could ; plumber up n steep way to the ridge. , Once up there, it was but ten minutes until, in a hollow, they found the monument marking a trail, a stone set upon a boulder. , It was nfter five o’clock. When, following the trail back and forth In its winding along the side of the ridge, . they found the signs they sought, It > was fast growing dark. But there, In • a narrow defile where loose soil had filtered down, were tracks left by a large boot. Lee went down on his hands and knees to study them In tho ‘ dusk. He got up with a little grunt ’ and moved down the trail. Again he - found tracks, this time more clearly I defined. So dark was it now that - they had lighted several matches. "Two men," he announced wonderingly. "Fresh tracks, too. Made this morning or last night, I’ll bet. One coming east from Indian Head. The other coming west from the plateau, behind us. Who’s he? Where’d he come from?” ! "He’s the second of the two men t who shot nt you,” said Judith quickly. "Don’t I know every trail in tills neck of the woods, Bud Lee? He followed another old, worn-out trail on the south side of the ranch. They met here just as I knew they would!" ! i “What for?” Lee frowned through the darkness at her eager face. "What 3 ’would they want to get together for? 1 If they had any sense they would seat--1 ter and clean out of the country." i "Unless,” Judith reminded him, ■ "they don’t Intend to clean out at all I Unless they mean to stick to the cliffs and try their hands again at their sort of game. They’ll figure that we will expect them to be a long way, from here by now, won’t they? Then where would they be safer than right here in these mountains? Give me a rifle and something to eat and I’ll deI fy nn army getting me out of here. And think of It: If this is Trevors’ work, if he means business, think ' what two gunmen on these could do to us. They could pick off" a three-thousand-doliar stallion down. In the pens; they could drop more, i than one prize bull or cow; and" she< j added sharply, "If they thought I girls as some men think, they could' lake a chance on scaring Judith San-] ford out of the country.” Lee stared at her a long time Ini silence. “I wouldn’t have said," he offered; finally, “that Bayne Trevors would make quite so strong a play as that.” "You wouldn’t! Then look him In I the eye! And where’s his risk, if he’? 1 picked the right men, if he sees them, ‘through, keeping the back door open when they want to run for It? You Just gamble your boots, Bud Lee, that I i

Bayne tfpvctb*.' T Without warning, without a sound of explosion came a wiry whine into the still air. a little venomous ping, and a bullet sped by Just over their heads. But, through the gloom, they both saw the flash of the gun as It spat fire and lead, and. as though one Impulse commanded them Judith’s rifle and Bud Lee's went to their shoulders and two reverberating reports rang out In answer. "Lie down, d —n it!” cried Bud Lee to the girl at his side, as again thers came the flush from the cliffs off to the right and as again he answered It with his rifle. “Lie down yourself!" snapped Judith. And once more her rifle spoke with his. For one Instant, framed against the darkening sky along the cliff edge five hundred yards away to the right, they saw a silhouette of a man. leaping from one boulder to another, a man who looked gigantically big In the uncertain light. They fired; he Jumped again and passed out of sight. "Got his nerve." grunted Lee as he pumped lead nt the running figure. As an answer there came the third flash, the bullet striking the trail la front of them. And then the fourth flash, from a point a hundred yards to the left of the other. "That’s Number Two,” muttered Lee. "They’ve got us In the open, Judith. Let's beat It back to the cabin.” "I’m with you.” said Judith, between shots. "It’s just foolishness" .. . bang! .. . “sticking out here" . . . bang! . . . “for them to pop ut off.” Bang! Bang! They ran then, Bud slipping Ir front of her, his tall body loomfnj darkly between her and the cliffs whence the shots came. He slid alons the sharp slope to the plateau, putting out his arms toward her. And as sht came down. Bud Lee grunted and cursed under his breath. For then had been another flash out of th< thickening night, this one from tin refuge toward which they were run nlng. A third man was shooting fron the shelter of the cabin walls. Am Loe had felt a stinging pain as thougl a hot iron had scorched Its way alonj the side of his leg. "Hurt much?” asked Judith quickly Without waiting for an answer, sin pumped two shots at the flash by tht cabin. "No,” grunted Lee. “Just scared And now what? I want to know." Bud Lee, In the thicker darknest lying along the edge of the plateau sat with his back against the rockt while he gave swift first aid to hit wound. He brought into requisltfoi the knotted handkerchief from hii throat, bound it tightly around thi calf of his leg and said lightly ti Judith: — o (TO HE CONTINUED)

Good Work Wins The following statement appeared in an article in the Republican of Galena, Kansas, for March 26,1926: “The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is the greatest commercial organization in the United States and its efforts and business penetrate the known world. Its policy toward employes may well be used as the criterion for all business. It is the most liberal that has been established. Every employe has that golden opportunity to prove his worth and his reward is in his own . grasp.’’ It is natural that this policy should meet the approval of all true Americans for it is essenI tially democratic in character. But such unsolicited praise is very gratifying to the management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes in Fairness, Justice and Equity, and it believes in giving all its employes equal chances to make good. In the huge organization of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) every employe, no matter what his task, is recognized as an individual, with rights equal to those of any other man. Good work, honest effort, and ability are quickly observed and appreciated. Promotions reward the deserving, and many of the executives of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) today first entered the Company in a humble capacity. Success in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) does not lean upon superficial props. It is built upon a solid base of actual worth. Golden i opportunities for advancement are not shaken I like apples from a tree, but earned by steady climbing on the ladder of earnest work. This democratic policy has resulted in an organ- . i ization of loyal, interested men and women who . work with enthusiasm, knowing that every effort ] is appreciated. The close cooperation of its employes makes possible, to a large degree, tiie comprehensive ' service the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is ’ I able to render the thirty million people of the i Middle West. 1 Every man in the organization is not only interested in his task, but anxious to do it better—- ! and you sense this enthusiasm at every Stan- ! dard Oil Company (Indiana) Service Station. i, It is this wonderful spirit prevailing throughout i the organization that has made it possible for the Company to take its place among the foremost Service organizations of America.
