(AP Under threat of a tear gas barrage, more than 200 men, women and children "!inger marchers" were ousted today from the courthouse where they had threatened to stay until they were given food, clothing and jobs. The demonstrators, unemployed coal miners and farmers and their families who had occupied the court house since last Friday, offered no resistance when city and county offi cers appeared at 3 a. m and threat ened to release the bombs unless the place was cleared within an hour. . Before they started lo leave, the sheriff gave the leaders his personnl check for $100 to purchase food, but insisted it was a donation and "not a bribe to leave." As the Jobless filed out of the building in small groups, deputies es corted them to the city limits. The rageed assemblage of whites and negroes had spent most of the night praying, singing hymns and listening to a negro quartet. Yesterday they had refused to leave the building to accept food sent from Oklahoma City by Gov. E. W. Mar- land. They said they were afraid to Jesve for fear they would be locked out. The food, carried In two army trucks, remained untouched. Instead, the marchers munched sandwich-? purchased with a S10 donation from Mayor Bryan Burton of Krebs. a vil lage three miles from here.

He said qiiDta sfor ex ports were set that took only a small part of each country's manufactured product. Explaining the Intricate mechanism of trade between the nations and how at the present time many of the nations cannot pay back what tney owe. the speaker declared that the Ideal situation would be for each country to specialize in exports and imports. For instance, lie said Ger many should manufacture chemicals and optical goods, and the United States should produce wheat, corn and hogs, a these products are the natural ones for these respective countries. Mr. Alley said reciprocity treaties are now being formed between the United States and about 50 coun tries. He said that the Unld States' first reciprocity treaty, with Cuba, resulted in an lncrea.se of 100 per cent in trade between those two countries.
