The noise of pianos and moaning saxophones rose above the subdued roar of the ofl derricks banking the mushroom town while oll huskies scratched over the rough pine floors with the dancing girls. One out every three houses in ‘town was a house of ill fame, state investigators contend. Mrs. Mabel Bassett, state commis- sioner of charities and correction, nd Claud Connally, state commis- sioner of labor visited this town and made these charges. \ But things have changed. And the oil huskies passion for dancing has brought about the trans- formation. There were not enough girls to go around, for there were 50 men to every woman in Cromwell, so the dance hall men began importing dancers from the larger cities of the southwest. Dozend of girls were obtained from Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Kansas City, it is alleged. Suspecting a white slave ring, state officials began their Investiga- tions. One man was arrested in Tulsa in the act of getting #voung girls out of the city. = But the investigation failed to re veal any white slave ring.
