PRAISES WILSON FOR
AVERTING Rail STRIKE
?. A. Sugrue Says Democracy Has
Legslated for the Masses. =

"Of the three great strikes in the his
tory of the United States, only one was
settled without bloodshed. and that
through the wisdom and statesmanshiI
of President wilson, said P. A. Sugrue
OF the Wilson Eight-Hour League, at a
rally In the headquarters OF the Women
Wilson Union last night.
The momentous strikes in the ma
tons history were given as the strike
ainst King George, the strike against
raham Lincoln, and the strike for in
striA liberty. The latter uprising
neralled by the railroad brotherhOods
- settled by President Wilson without
: loss OF a life or the shedding Of one
op Of lsbor's blood. said the speaker
Z was labor's night at the Women's
G sadquarters, and members of organized
}. Dor furnished the speakers and the bulf
the audience.
Speakers included Teddy McHold, Of
the International Brick, Tile and Terra
Gotta Workers Alliance; John Riggles
OF the Machinists' Union; Andrew ]
Kimmsl Assessor Edward Oyster, anC
John Hartley, OF the Wilson Eight-Houl
League.
Risgies said that union labor had beer
hghttng for humanitarian laws for six
teen years and only secured them with
the advent OF President Wilson. ''Ir
legislating, laws for the masses are de-
sirable and must be considered" he said
Wilson has been the first man to recog
niEe the masses. That Is why organized
labor supports him; not because he is q
Democrat or a Republican or a Socialist
but because he is a red-blooded. honest
sincere American with full appreciation
that he holds his high office to serve al
OF the people.
"Only three persons object to tht
Adamson eight-hour law. They are
Hughes, Rockefeller and J. Pierpon
Morgan" he said, land it would be i'm
possible to write a labor law that woult
please them"

II presume it is my proximity to City
Hall that causes me to wed more couples
than other Clergymen," said Mr.. Downs
yesterday. Not a few couples like to be
married quietly. and they turn from the
marriage license office to the nearest
parsonage. Ny home had been a par

that turn in this direction"

AUTO BLOWS UP
G. l.. Mains Of Minerva. Has Narrow
Escape While Coming To
MaysViIIe.

Mr.. G. l.. Mains OF Minerva, the pop.
ular auto bus driver of that thriving
little country town, had narrow
escape Friday morning while coming
to Maysville.
Just as he was nearing Moransburg
his machine stopped suddenly, and be-
fore he could ascertain the cause OF
the trouble, an explosion took place
in the engine that could be heard
several hundred yards away. In an
instant he was covered with steam and
by rare presence of mind he got away
from the explosion with only few
slight burns on the face and hands
Upon investigation it was found that
the radiator had bursted and the hood
blown fifty or more feet away from
the machine,
Just what caused the accident is not
known, but It is thought that the over
flow pipe become stopped up on &C
count of freezing, and this produced
tho explosion.
Mr. Mains had a narrow escape and
was still nervous when interviewed
by The Ledger man.
The damaged automobile was towed
to Maysville, where it will be repaired
The engine was almost completely de-
molished
