MAN WHOSE REMARK
LOST HIM HIS JOB
REMAINS in UNION

The story in the Times-RecordeT
of yesterday about mechanic at the
Seaboard shops being dismissed for
an unpatriotic remark was true in
detail, with the exception that he has
not been expelled and hlacklisted by
the Machinists Union This informa-
ton was incorrectly given to the
Times-Recorder, and was published
by it in good faith.
V. C. Milton, secretary of the local
union says that no such action has
been taken
The dismissal of the employee, who
admits having made the remark, and
who has expressed regret for it, was
made by the railroad authorities, and
not at the instance of the machinists.

messengers
One of the gunner stood with a
poised pistol, forcing the three to keep
their hands raised and the other tried
to wrench the money bag from
O'Briens right wrist After he had
tugged and strained for a minute or
two, O'Brien said, according to the
detectives:
You're hurting my wrist Wait a
second, and I'll show you how to I'M
lock it."
Then, the detectives said, O'Brier
unclasped the lock. The Iobber took
the bag and ordered Mcintyre to run
the cage to the ground floor. There
the hold-up men told Mcintyre and
the two messengers that if they did
not run the elevator back up to the
fifth floor which is the top, without
making an outcry, they would be
shot.
Tho robbers then stepped from the
elevator. which is of the old fash
