willing hands soon carried the woman into
the womans waiting room. While every
effort was being made to relieve her DR.. ..
L. Mercer was summoned.
A rude couch was hurriedly put together
but the suffering woman would not lie
down. She struggled TO sitting position
and despite all efforts to keep her alive, she
died within few minutes after leaving the
train.

most Frustrated by the death or her parent,
that her mother complained of not feeling
we'll while they were in Pittsburg last night
Several times on the road TO this city she
complained of the air in the sleeper and
spoke of the difficulty she experienced in
breathing.
During the day she apparently felt bet
ter and said but little of not feeling well.
She seemed to be all right as she stepped
from the train in the station, but within
ten minutes she was dead.

an investigation said that death due
TO heart failure. The body was removed to
the undertaking establishment OF Flanner

BLOW TO UNIONISM
BY SUPREME COURT

Due to the decision Of hard-fought case
yesterday by the Supreme Court, unionism
has been dealt a severe blow in its efforts to
obtain legal recognition of the alleged
'blacklisting'' of employees. said to have
been successfully done by certain railroads.
John w. Young. a railway telegrapher.
sued the Wabash Railroad Company for
damages, claiming that ne had been dis
charged for espousing the cause of union
ism He further alleged that after his dis
charge he was ''blacklisted'' by the railway
company and prevented from obtaining SIM
liar employment with any other railroad.
The railway in defense set up the plea
that its only action was to notify several
railroads that Young was union man, and
the court sustained the appellee's contention
that the act was not illegal.
