JONES SAYS HE IS
A UNION MAN

j. p. Jones, the well known color
ed local brickmason and concrete
worker says that he has always been
a member of the Union and never en-
ploys anything else but Union labor.
He says that recent reports to the
contrary have had tendency to in
jure him and that he makes this state
ment to refute them. Although color
ed, Jones is one of the most success
full concrete workers in the city and
he is in sympathy with every move
ment that Is for the improvement of
the laboring class and Union labor.
A statement made recently to the eff
feet that Jones was a non-union man
is explained by him to be due to the
fact that he holds no card. Under the
rules of the union he says he is not
permitted to hold union card, being
the contractor for his business. He
says, however that he is never associ-
ated with any other but union labor
ers.

afternoon about 4 O'Clock. after a
clerk in that store caught >the ne
groes in the act OF stealing a pair Of
ehildfen's shoes. The four negroes
were marched to headquarters where
they gave their names and said they
lived at Sulphur Spring in this county.

Famous management claimed that

goods, valued at $40 and SIS, had been
stolen from them. Mullikin'S De-

while the Eagle Store only claimed

STRIKE UP TO
REPRESENTATIVES
INTERN ATIONAL PRESIDENTS
HOPE TO AVERT STRIKE OF
SHOP MEN ON HARTMAN
LINES
A CALL IS ISSUED
Frisco to be Scene of Final Meeting
Frfday-MaiOrity Have Voted to
Strike.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. Calls
were issued this morning by the presi-
dents of the International Railroad
Unions, who assembled in San Fran
cisco to confer with Julius Krauttsch-
nit, to representatives of the various
crafts employed by the Hartman
Lines to meet in San FFrancisco next
Friday.
At that time the question of a strike
will be definitely decided. The inter
national presidents will continue in
executive session from time to time
until that date, but no action will be
taken until the arrival of the repre-
sentatives of the various crafts
Thirty-five union men will attend
the meeting in San Francisco next
Friday. They will come from all sec
tons of the East and West where
Hartman shops are located.
1t was after an executive session
of three hours duration on the part of
the international presidents this
morning that this action was decided
upon. The union leaders declined to
assume the responsibility of the re-
suit of the conferences with Kruttsch-
nit yesterday and proposed to submit
the facts to the representatives of the
various local organizations compris-
inc Tho federation
J. w. Kline, president of the Inter
national Blacksmiths Union, who is
acting as spokesman for the Inter
national presidents, refuses to say
whether or not gathering OF union
men will mean strike.
Meanwhile representatives of the
union are eXerting every effort to
avert strike. The $4,000 shop men
in the employ of the Hartman Lines
have, in majority of local organiza-
lions, already voted to strike in case
their demands are refused. 1t is the
hope of the international presidents
20 persuade the men to desist in their
announced determination.

BEST PAL TOLD OF HOW YOUNG
DEFENDANT LED MERRY LIFE
WITH BEULAH BINFORD
HOLD COURT MONDAY
Beattie Will Surely Take Stand Mon
day and BinfOrd Girl May Go on for
State Next Day.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Sept.
2.-One way alone-it became appar-
emf today-remains to save Young
Henry Clay Beattie Jr., from the cleo
trio chair. That is his own testimony
Perhaps Though it looks extremely
doubtfuD he may convince at least
one juror that bearded highwayman
as he has contended all along killed
his wife while shooting at him when
both were in his automobile. And
then he may get a disagreement of the
jury.
This evening, after lot of charact-
er witnesses had been summoned to
tell how happily the rich young man
and his wife lived together, and af-
ter other witnesses had told how per-
haps it was not Beattie who was OBJ
served near the scene of the crime,
but another man, the defense con-
cluded its evidence except for Henry
Clay Beattie Jr., himself.
Day after day it has been announc-
ed that next day he was to take the
stand and make the big gamble for
his life Never has there been any
certainty of this. Now it is absolute
ly assured that with the beginning of
Mondays session court going on al
though it is legal holiday the boy
really will stake everything on the
final throw.
Today was devoted chiefly to ''stall-
ing by his lawyers, delaying the case
in every possible manner, so that
Henry might get the advantage of a
Sunday rest before going through his
ordeal They won this little point,
but only at the cost of giving the
cross examination of the defendant.
The young son of the rich depart
ment store owner will go on the stand
at 10 o'clock Monday morning. The
direct examination will last about
two hours. Then his cross-examina-
ton will consume at least four hours
and may last into the night-for the
court has decided to hold night ses-
sions hereafter, in order to wind up
the case.
General opinion goes but two ways
If Beattie can repeat his story about
a bearded highwayman attacking him
and cling to it, he may gain an ac-
quittal at the hands of the jury. If
he cannot and makes the least little
break under the cross examination
by the States attorney, Louis Wenden-
berg, he will be sent swiftly to his
DEATH There are no half way meas
ures in this state. Those best posted
say jury disagreement is extremely
improbable. Any manor two or
three-who disagree with the rest will
be forced to go long.
The adherents of the defense were
by no means encouraged by today's
proceedings. They were more or less
interested, but the helpfulness of any
thing that developed was very small.
