Police at noon today had rounded up seven persons as
members of a ring of alleged hijackers, following the killing
of one robber, wounding of another one, and the wounding of
Motorcycle Officer Ab. J. Mitchell last night.
Assistant District Attorney Tolbert was preparing this
morning to file robbery charges against six of them, includ-
ing two women.
Joe Loughry, said to be the proprietor of a rooming house
at 210 1-2 West Tenth-st, was among those arrested. The

Price Cutting War

Milk At 5c a Quart
""oK"aHoMx CITY, Okla., Feb.

Chain grocery stores sold milk

lowest price in five years, as ths
result of a price cutting war.
wage scales proposed by the op-
erators would yield only $900 a
year, even under normal condi-
tions.
That is the answer of the min-
ers to the demand of the opera-
tors that mine wages must coms
down.
The reasons why their wages
should not be reduced are stated
by the miners aS follows:
Mine wages always lagged he-
hind wagM paid in other indus-
tries. It was only 'during the war
that they caught up and the min-
ers are determined to hold fast to
their gains.
Living costs to mining towns
have decreased but slightly—much
less than In the rest of the coun-
try.
Mine wages have already been
reduced by 1ms-of war bonuses
and the abnormal war demand
for coal, which enabled miners to
work longer and earn more than
they will ever be able to do
again.
Mining work is among the most
dangerous occupations and they
must prorids for their families.
The atrenuommeM of work un-
der ground, without sunlight or
air, deniands a good living stand-
ard to maintain health.
Figures in the main bear out
the miners’ claims. In 1920, a fair-
ly normal year, the average earn-
herself sad children, and Mid
she had been notified to vacate
the house if the rent money
were not forthcoming.
These are only two incidents
in many which are brought to
the attention of the nuthorities
every day. The charitable or-
ganizations of the city are do-
ing all in their power to care
for the most needy cases but
are being taxed beyond their,
limit.
These unfortunates are not
seeking charity. They are af-
ter an honest day’s work, and
