URGE ERIE TO TAKE

ed by Pres. Wilson, said the medi-
ators were more hopeful however.
While both the men and the roads
informed the board Of their purpose
to "standpat" on the platform of
grievances they want submitted for
arbitration under the Newlands act,
the mediators say they believe that
within a few days the roads may be
induced to consent to have only the
employees wage demand arbitrated.
Under this plan the roads grievances
would be arbitrated later, after the
men have been given formal notice of
30 days. Both the mediators and the
trainmen appear TO see in this the
only way of averting a strike.
The stand taken by the Erie road
was chiefly discussed at the meeting
between the board and the trainmen's
committee, it was learned Monday
night. The Erie withdrew it's repre-
sentation in the conference commit
tee of managers last week, declaring
it could not afford to raise wages
and would not abide by any agree
ment reached between the roads and
Nthe men.
w. G.. Lee, president of the Broth
erhood OF Railroad Trainmen, ex-
planned the Erie's position and ad-
vised the mediators TO confer with
the Fries officials and induce them,
if they could, to return to the man
ayers committee. A program bear
ing on the Erie's case was adopted as
follows:
THE federal board will ask the
Erie officials TO return to the confer
ence. If they decline to do this, the
mediators will ask if they will agree
TO stand by whatever awards the ar
bitratiOn board NAV make If de-
mands reach that board. If the Erie
officials will neither return to the con-
ference nor abide by awards, the
mediators will report back TO the
trainmen's committee, with the re-
suit, the employees made known to
Judge Chambers, that the Erie will
face a strike at once.

CRIME IN THE NAME OF THE LAW

The murder of the boy convict,
Oren Sherry, in Houston by guard
Bud" Russell, is the blacklist spot
that ever disgraced the fair name of
Houston. This is. indeed, the shame
of Texas and nothing but the stretch
ing of hemp will ever remove 1t.
The boys poor old gray-haired
mother lived in Houston and he had
not seen her in nearly a year, though
his weekly letters from Huntsville
told of the yearning of his heart to
see her once more. AS the convict
train passed through Houston en- route
from Huntsville to one of the State
farms, the poor boy was overcome by
the call of his heart to see his moth
er, and while the train was stopped
at the Grand Central station, he
jumped from the car. No sooner did
he reach the ground than he saw that
escape was impossible, and he imme-
, diately started to return to his seat
on the train. Just as he placed his
foot on the step, a shot rang out and
the poor boy fell to the ground NOR
tally wounded.
Bud" Russell had killed his man.
So close was the guard when tie
gun fired that the boys clothing was
powder burned, and eye-witnesses said
the guard could have laid hold on the
boy had it been necessary, but even
that was not necessary, as he was
already boarding the car.
The stricken lad was rushed to the
Houston lnfirmary, telephone bells
rang sharp and quick and soon poor,
grief-stricken, gray-haired mother
moaned above her dying boy. 81 am
sure he only wanted to come to me.
He was not bad boy and ! think he
should have been given a chance. My
boy, my boy"
Quiet reigned in the big hospital
where the grim spectre often walks,
and only the moaning of the desolate,
widowed mother broke the stiffness.
Silently, swiftly the last Pickering
sparks of life ebbed away, and when
those who waited without. looked in,
Oren Sherry lay dead in his mothers
arms.
