PROMISE CITY IS

Regaining Consciousness,
She Gives Name and
Galesburg as Home

Promise City, Sept. 6.-(SpeciaD:
After Appanoose county authorities
had been communicated with it was
decided today to remove the young
woman, found in a farmers yard near
here, to the Centerville hospital.
The woman, who gives the name Of
Eula McCrary and her residence as
Galesburg, ILL.,, was found at the Len
ME Sager place, three miles east of
Promise City.
Members of the family carried her
to the house and called a physician as
she was unconscious. She remained
in this condition for several hours. On
regaining consciousness she told that
she had come from the Illinois city.
When found she was lying against
the fence and examination by the
physicians showed that she was Sc.
verely bruised about her face and on
her right side.
The presence Of an automobile
filed with strangers, which passed
through Promise City in the early
morning, gives rise to the theory
that the girl was thrown from
the car as 1t passed the Sager home.
Tracks from an automobile are plainly
visible in the road close up to the
fence near which the girl was lying.

Trades Congress Puts Self
on Record in Favor of
Protective Duties
MEASURE REGARDED
IMPORTANT TO MEN
Other Plans Laid to Help
Cause of Labor When
World War Ceases

Birmingham, Eng, Sept. s. The
trades union congress, representing
nearly 100000 organized workers OF
Great Britain, took an important un-
expected step today by adopting, with
a majority of more than 1,000,00O votes
resolution virtually endorsing tho
principle of protection.
The resolution asks Tor the adop-
tion Of methods for restricting or pre-
venting the importation Of cheap man
ufactured goods produced at lower
rates OF wages and under worse labor
conditions than prevail In this coun.
try"
The congress considered other reso-
lutions regarded as of Importance for
labor after the war, including one deal
ing with restoration of trades union
rights which have been suspended in
order to increase the output of muni-
tions.
The congress went on record az in
favor of creation of state department.
for adjustment of pension claims. Ma
tionalization of agriculture, shipping
industries and mines met with unani-
nous approval. A fixed minimum
wage and shorter hours of labor also
were advocated to avoid ,unemploy-
ment and distress after the war.
