RAILROAD STRIKE
- AT A S1lNDSTILL

PITTSBURG, PA Special.-Pend-
ing the arrival here of Secretary
Frank Morrison, OF the American
Federation of Labor. to take charge
of the strike of the Pennsylvania
Railroads trainmen and shopmen, the
labor situation was at a standstill to-
day.
Secretary Morrison sent word to
union headquarters that he will be
delayed in Altoona and might not be
able TO get here for several days.
Three arrests have been made in
connection with the shooting of Mrs.
Mary Senick at Brownsville, where
strikers and strike breakers fought a
battle yesterday. Mrs. Senick, who
was brought to this city, is fatally in
jured.
The Brownsville trouble is the only
violence that has marked the strike
to date. At Pitcairn striking trainmen
have returned to work, and the town
is quiet.
Representatives of the trainmen are
preparing a protest to Congress,
charging that the railroads are in
sulting the strikers in the various
towns in which the men are out.

II does not seem to us that Senator
Martin, with justice 70 himself or with
proper regard TO the public opinion of
the State, can afford to withhold from
the people his answer to these ac-
cuSatiOns. Virginia will give him a
square deal. but ii is hardly to be

DISCONTINUE FIRST STATION.

r l c H Nj o N d, V A.-Special.-
The people of Clayville will have
to go to Dorset to take trains in the
future, and the people of Dorset can
continue to have the advantage of
the trains over the Southern Railway.
That was what Judge William f.
Rhea, of the State Corporation Com
of the appeal of the people of Clay
Vile against the award made several
weeks ago, when the commissioners
visited the two places and inspected
the situation for themselves. AT that
time the commission held that Dorset
was the oldest station, better located
and in every way better adapted to
the needs of the travelling public.
Practically all the residents of the
controversy in the matter, and they
came here in numbers when the cases
were heard, employing lawyers to rep
resent them. ClayVille was disconcert-
ed at the loss of the trains, and Dorset
was elated.
The fight was started by the South
ern Railway in 1908. when il asked to
be allowed to discontinue Dorset. The
that time, and then it brought to the
attention of the Comm ission the fact
that Dorset was less than two miles
from Moseley Junction and less than
mile from Clayville. The Southern
had succeeded in having an enterprise
of some magnitude located at ClayVille
and was doing what 1t could TO boom
the town. The industry did not thrive,
however, and was abandoned to a con-
siderable extent and the evidence alb
duced at the last hearing showed that
the machinery in the plant there was
being moved away. Then Application
was made TO be allowed to ABANDON

effect on other contributions. and thus
badly hamper the real object of the
