The arrest of "Whitey" Walker

nection with the slaying this morn-
ing of Deputy Sheriffs Pat Kenyon

masked men locked a score of em-
ployes and customers in the bank
vault and escaped with loot valued
ai $:¡2,500.
Klines, Ter ill and Walker are
believed to be the men who robbed
the First National bank at Pampa
of $25,000 In a daylight holdup yes-
terday afternoon. All three men
have been identified by photographs
by bank employes who were wit-
nesses to the holdup. None of the
men wore masks.
Three men held at Wheeler were
released this morning when Pampa
officers said they were not the men
wanted and dirl not answer to de-
scriptions.
According to a telephone conver-
sation \, it li the Pampa Daily News
early this morning, the bandits hid
all day yest erday at I he Archer
farm, between Pampa and Horger.
The men drove into the farmyard
with a black and blue Buick, which
they drove into the garage and
locked. They then went to tlie farm
house and held Mr. and Mrs. Archer |
at bay ail day at pistol point. To-

CI AGO. April X. —'AP)—The
coal mining Industry in the central
competitive field today entered a
curious ph^ne which was neither a
strike nor r(V lockout but which
forced thoiAel^fi of miners into idle-
ness as tlii j„ S(.;onville wage agree-
ment expi,r„,i niol.
s agreements have
been made throughout the mining
area to continue work, but it was
apparent that a large percentage of
the nearly 200,000 men employed
in the central field and adjacent
fringes had laid aside pick and
shovel pending solution of a prob-
lem that the conference of miners
and operators at Miami, Fla., sev-
eral months ago failed to solve.
< heck-l'p Monday
Probably the full extent of the j
shut-down will not be known until !
early iiqxi week. as. organized fields
observe April 1 as "eight-hour day,"
marking the anniversary of the first
eight-hour day legislation for min-
ers. Saturday is a half-holiday and
on Sunday mines are not operated,
so that the actual counting of noses
must go over until Monday.
.">0,000 Out
Operators, who maintained that
they could not continue the Jackson-
ville agreement and survive, esti-
mated that approximately 150,000
coal diggers in Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois had suspended
work. In Iowa, which is outside
tlie central field, about 0,000 miners
were affected, while between liO.nOO
and 35,000 workers are employed in
the southwestern area of Kansas,
Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma,
where wage agreements likewise ex-
pired.
No Wage till
Union men, equally determined
that they cannot accept a wage cut,
pointed to many individual agree-
ments for temporary continuation of
the Jacksonville pact.
The general public looks at the
situation rather apathetically, know-
ing that more coal was in storage
than ever before and that warm
weather was approaching.
