After carefully placing his wife in the
carriage he turned to the crowd and, hold

Hundreds of hands were thrust forward
and were grasped by the labor lead

with the men in their efforts to get close
to him. For time it appeared as though
the seething crowd would prevent the car
riaSe moving away.

gray-haired woman who was struggling
against odds to reach the carriage. Hay
wood saw her.
"Oh. mother" he cried. and pressed
through the thTOng to get to her. He
pushed the men either way and picked her
up. placing her in the cab with mis- wife
