Associated Presa Report
MARION 111. Feb. 15 After de-
termining that conditions which have
precipitated a criaia in Williamson
county must be changed and sanity
supplant violence the county board
adjourned today until next Thursday.
The board discussed conditions aris-
ing from the clashes between wet and
dry forces the latter headed by the
Ku Klux Klan.
Board members said tbey favored
removal of Sheriff Ualligan and sub-
stitution of new county policing
force competent and neutral but had
no authority to ask for tbe resignation
of the present incumbent.
The demand for changed cubditona
with sanity and conservatism replac-
ing radicalism aad lawlessness was
voiced before the county board of su-
pervisors by a citisana committee
county board members themselves and
a committee of citiiena from Herrin
and Johnston City.
The regime of S. Glenn Young
leader of prohibitioa raids and em-
ployed by tbe klan. is at an end if
county officials will enforce tbe law
board members said. Young is re-
ported to be facing an indictment on
10 counts under a capias said to be
awaiting him from the recent grand
jury and bonds of 120000 will be
demanded according to report from
the sheriff's office.
The klan is willing to cut off his
salary said to have amounted to
$7000 if the laws are enforced and
Sheriff Galligan aaid ha was willing
to do anything to bring about pface
in the county. He said it would be
inadvisable to retain John fayman as
a deputy and. while stating he. him-
self did not intend to resign at the
present time he admitted be would
be willing to do so if he thought it
would bring an end to the trouble.
A citiaena committee with representa-
tives from the principal citiea and
towna of tbe county in attendance will
meet tomorrow night to try to agree
on a plan for rebuilding the civil law
enforcement machinery.
It was indicated tonight that the
remaining troops here may be with-
drawn soon.
MILLION MAY LOSE
JOBS FROM STRIKE
ON ENGLISH DOCKS
(Cont'd from Tg. 1.)
some step in an endeavor to find a way
out or tie mmcuny.
Having bad ample notice of the
strike tbe port authorities have been
able to apeed up the unloading of ves-
sels and make other arrangements to
meet the situation so there is not
likely to be any immediate shortage of
food. But inevitably there will be
heavy losses from perishable goods
should the strike last very long and
there is certain to be a speedy rise
in the necessaries of life.
Some people consider that the em-
ployers' bffer to submit the disputed
shilling to arbitration ought to have
been accepted but according to a long
history issued tonight by Edwin Reav-
iB. secretary of the dock ' workers'
union the men seem suspicions of the
offer of arbitration mainly because
throughout the dispute which already
had lasted several months 'the ship-
pers always have acted in the most
arbitrary manner and refused any
reference of disputed points to third
parties. Mreover the refusal of the
employers to yield on the question of
decasualization makes the men deter-
mined not to yield on the question of
wages.

regulations respected."

to keep ahead. Not merely authority of style but priority
of design and detail marks the new models we present for

a fashion becomes so widely fashionable that it ceases to be fash-
ionable at all.
