HALLOWEEN PRANK
Anglers G. w. AYERS
Physician, Removing Rails,
Hit; Assailant Claims
He Stumbled

Mistaken presumably for one of a
party of Halloween celebrants, who
had placed fence rails along the road
for a distance of about so yards, one
mile south of Fredericktown, Or. Err
nest v. Ackerman, a well-known ply
slcian of the Wayne township seat,
was shot Tuesday night about 1880
o'clock by Charles w. Ayers, who re-
sides on the old Mapes farm, with a
shotgun, one of the bits of lead pene-
trating his right ear and the other his
left eye.
Or. Ackerman was taken to Mt.
Carmel hospital. Columbus, on the
midnight train, where 1t is possible
that he will undergo an operation. 1t
cannot yet be determined whether or
not his eyesight will be impaired.
He never lost consciousness after the
shooting.
In Dr. Ackerman's company at the
time were Mr.. and Mrs. William A.
Ackerman and Harold Ackerman of
this city, who had met the 6:27 Penn
sylvania train, on which DR.. Acker-
man returned from business trip to
Columbus and started to take him, by
automobile, to his home in Frederick
town.
About one mile south Of where the
shooting occurred, one of the auto
mobile tires was punctured and a
stop was made to repair the same.
While the party was engaged in this
process, an automobile, containing a
number of young people, passed by.
When spot between the Mapes
and the Andrews farms just south OF
Fredericktown was reached, mum
ber of fence rails were seen strewn
along the road. The automobile was
again halted.
Dr. Ackerman and Harold Acker-
man leaped out and started to re-
move the rails of which there were
about 40, covering a distance of so
yards. They were standing in the
brilliant lights of the automobile
Harold Ackerman little farther in
front and to the right of the machine
than DIR. Ackerman. The road is
double-tracked and Harold Ackerman
removed the rails from the right side
and his brother those from the left.
According to Harold Ackerman, he
- b J..
had just finished tossing the last raj
aside when he heard the sharp re
port of shotgun, not over fifteen ol
twenty yards away. He heard his
brother cry. 'T'm shot and it's ser
ious," and turned to find him witt
blood streaming from his face.
William A. Ackerman jumped from
the car and rushed to the assistance
of DR.. Alderman who, however, wal
able to stand alone. With the assist
ance of Harold Alderman, the ply
sician was placed in the car and /
was proposed that the party hurr.
to Fredericktown.
DR.. Alderman demurred, insisting
that return be made to Mt. Vernon

HAYES BROS. CHOCOLATES.

In a communication issued to the
various central labor bodies and State
Federations of Labor throughout the
United States, Samuel Gompers, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, urges that extra efforts be
put forth to secure the enactment in
each state law modelled after that
enacted by the United States Con
gress and known as the Clayton bill.
A model law has been transmitted to
each organization. The efforts in
this state in behalf of the anti-injunc-
tion bills presented at each succeed
ing legislature during the last four
or five years are well known. The
last two OF these bills have been
drafted almost wholly from the Clay
ton bill, but each has been quietly
dropped
Several of the capitalistic papers
have learned of he movement to have
each state thus importuned, and ex-
press alarm that the movement
should become general. One of these,
published in New York, in expressing
its horror, says; "Since labor is not
commodity, courts cannot take cog.
nizance of crimes by labor, courts
| cannot issue injunctions for the pro.
lection of employers and of their
property; picketing and boycotting are
to be legalized, and labor is to have
/ its will generally"
This is termed "the conspiracy OF
labor" and the circular then draws
comparisons with the conspiracy OF
capital in raising wages 10 per cent
in the steel trade following Indictment
| of several steel men in Youngstown
| o., and the passing of dividends by
these same steel men out of a spirit
of generosity SO that they could give
their employees bonus of 10 pei
cent.
President Gompers considers the is
sue paramount, also, and in part the
| April issue of the American Fedora
zionist treat the matter under the cap
ton "The Law Necessary to Protec
Labor" The draft of the law submit
ted to serve as model for the differ
ent states is as follows:
BE 1t Enacted, etc,
Section !. 1t shall not be unlaw
full for working men and women t.
organize themselves into, or carry ol
labor unions for the purpose of lessen
ing the hours of labor or increasing
the wages or lettering the condition
of the members of such organizations
or carrying out their Legitimate pur
poses as freely as they could do |
acting singly.
Sec. 2. No restraining order or in
junction shall be granted by an
court of this state. or any judge o
judges thereof in any case involving
or growing out of a dispute concern

ment, unless necessary to prevent II
