later into the real estate business, in
which he amassed wealth. He is As

Backer said he resigned from the en-
ployers' Association at that time and
became Independent. His friendship
for Brindell, he said, was of a bust
ness nature-one of necessity.

Head Questions
Methods Railroads

Washington, Dec. 3-Railroads of
the country were charged by William
Johnston, president of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists to-
day with wholesale discharge of
shop employees and with checking
work in their shops in order ito farm
out" repair work to contractors at
greatly increased costs. Mr.. Johns
ton said he had submitted the matter
to Bert NJ. Jewell, chairman Of the
Railway Department of the American
Federation of Labor, who is in charge
of attending sessions of the Railroad
Labor Board and that Mr. Jewell
would use his. own discretion in pre-
senting the matter to the. boaSd.
This practice carried on through
out the country" he said. would
amount to millions of, dollars each
year. OF course the ultimate cost
will be borne by the people of the
country. either in taxes paid to give
the guaranty to the roads or in in
creased rates.
"The proposition appears to be a

railroad is interested in the con-
tractors business to whom the con.
tract for repairs to the rolling stock
was let In such a case the profit
accruing from the overcharged re-
pair work goes right back into the
pockets of the railroad. And yet

He declared that the Union Rail-
road of Pittsburgh was one Of the
carriers farming out its repair work
at a cost above the cost for which it
could be done in the company's own
shops. He asserted that the rail-
roads were attempting to break the
spirit of the men by laying them of,
declaring that discharges on some

Abduction Proves
to Be ElOpenent

What appeared at first to be kid :
mapping or abduction case here on
Thursday evening" turned out about
? O'Clock Friday morning by tele-
phonic communication with the
Calais police department, to be an
elopement. The principals in the af-
fair were David Nawfel of Eastport
and Miss Sadie Corey of this city,
the. latter a schoolgirl of IA. and both
of the Syrian nationality. 1t was al
first thought that the parties had
gone to Boston but about midnight a
telephone message came through
from Calais asking to speak with
either Mitri Nawfel or Ferris Nav
fel of this city. When the call was
answered the man at the other end
of the wire said that his name was
David Nawfel. and by that circum-
stance 1t became known that he had
gone east instead of west.
Deputy Marshal Simpson then teIe-
phOned to Calais to the chief of
police of that city, who went out and
discovered the couple there at a
Eotel and telephoned back that the
pair displayed a marriage certificate,
which was issued In st. Stephens
where it was said that they were
married by an English clergyman in
an English church. -.
Judge Plumstead was called to his
office at City hall and q warrant was
fully prepared for signing by Charles
Corey for the arrest Of the pair when
the telephone message from the city
marshal of Calais announcing the
marriage was received and nut an
end to that procedure, Mr.. Corey not
afixing his signature.
In the light Of DEVELOPMENTS, il has
been discovered that the couple left
on the 1.25 train Thursday afternoon
and not by the $40 tram as it was
first supposed. They arrived in
Calais about 8 O'Clock in the evening
and walked across the bridge to st.
Stephens, where the marriage cere-
mony was performed They then re-
turned to Calais and went to a hotel.
from where the newly made BRIDE
groom telephoned to this city. prob
ably to announce the news. In some
way his telephone message fell into
the hands Of the police and disclosed
his whereabouts.
Charles Corey. father of the girl
was much disturbed in regard to the
occurrences and left the police station
early Friday morning saying that he
was going to Calais to see the couple
