 the Story of Lot

The tabernacle filled with a capa- city house listened to an impassioned sermon by Bob Jones last night.
 He recited the story of Abraham and Lot at the time their herds Aad become so large that it was neccs- sarv for them to choose wider range and Lot was given his choice.
 "Lot chose the plains hard by the city of Sodom where he foresaw easy money. He had no consideration for the wickedness of the community. he was moving his family into, his only thought was for money" Jones said.
 Jones then drew 6 parallel be tween the life of Lot and the ex- perience of modern men. who, choose the easier and more sinful things and find them their undoing
 At the close of the service there was a good response to the evangel- ists invitation for men to accept Christianity.
 Loren Jones and Don Cochran of the Jones party sang duet follow ino the song service.

 "This, despite the supreme court has repeatedly held that under these amendments a laborer cannot be forced even under guise of a con- tract obligation to render involuntary servitude. Supreme court of United States has always asserted there is no more important concern than to safeguard the freedom of labor upon which alone can enduring prosperity be based.
 "It is difficult to believe that the president would have issued such a document had he been physically cap- able of obtaining first hand informa. tion and of exercising his own un- influenced intelligence in this most important problem. Yet his state ment of October 25 threatens the mine workers with sanctified peon- age; demands that they perform in- voluntary service. proclaims a re- fusal to be crime when no such crime exists, nor can such crime be defined under the constitution. "The right and the duty rests upon free American labor to maintain un- impaired the constitutional. privileges and guarantees of all American cit izens. The United Mine Workers of America believe the great majority of our citizenship will resent any trespass upon these principles. .(Signed) JOHN LEWIS, !.

Boy Strung Up
Tells on Pal

CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 20.-When
indignant citizens of James county put
rope around the neck of James
Oliver wounded boy robber and
strung him up to the limb of tree
near 0oltewah shortly after midnight
Saturday night, he broke down and
told them the name of hi scompanion,
who he said shot and killed Deputy
Sheriff w. B. Mcintosh, a few hours
earlier.
Oliver, who is not yet twenty-one,
and Ed Martin, who is charged with
the killing of Mcintosh, are said to
have barricaded point on the Dixie
highway just south of Ooltewah short
ly after dark Saturday night and held
it until nearly midnight, while they
held up and robbed occupants of all
automobiles and other vehicles that
passed.
Citizens who heard of their activi-
ties and went armed with pistols and
shotguns to arrest them, were them
selves captured by the boy bandits
and at one time six men and one wo-
man were huddled along The roadside,
covered with the pistol of one robber,
while the other waited behind his bar
ricade for other vehicles to bring fresh
victims. This was after Mcintosh had
been shot, and for some time his body
lay beside his automobile, his friends
not knowing whether he was dead or
alive. They know that he lived for
few minutes after he was shot, but
the bandits would not permit them to
attend to his injuries and they do not
know when he died.
But for the wound that Oliver re-
ceived from the pistol of X l.. John
son, who accompanied Mcintosh to
the barricaded spot on the road, the
road agents" might have stayed on
until daylight. Oliver kept complain
ing that he was bleeding to death and
his companion fnally ordered his vic

him. When they started, Martin slip
