PROMPT INCREASE FOR RA|LMEN MUST
 COME, IS WARNING
Immediate Relief of Entire Industry Will Face COm- plete Disruption, Says
 Their Spokesman
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 27-Railroad em- loves of the United States must be granted prompt wage increases regard less of cost to the carriers, or the en- tire railway industry will face com plete disruption, W. N Doak, vice presi- dent of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, declared today before the railway labor board, which is conduct ing hearings into the demands of the employees.
 MT Doak declared that present wages were inadequate and cited several in- stances where living expenses were greater than the wages they were re- ce Ying.
 Mir Doak declared the railroad in- dustry faced its present crisis" be- cause the buck had been passed from enc board to another" since the men made their demands about a year ago. The cost of living had increased with out wages being increased with the result that the men were rapidly losing patience and soon would reach the point where they would mo longer stand for present conditions" he said.
 Representatives of the engineers and firemep conductors telegraphers, switchmen and signalmen also pre- scented testimony in rebuttal to the brief offered by the roads. In each case the testimony was brief and designed to correct alleged inaccuracies in the roads testimons.

 CHILD IS CAUSE OF
 MUCH EXCITEMENT
Russellville People, Search ing For 12-Year-Old Girl, Feared to Have
 Ended Life

Russellville, May 27.-(Specia1)- All Russellville is excited over the sudden and mysterious disappearance of little Sue Carter, the twelve year-old adopted daughter of C. D. Carter man. ager of J. H. Calvin Grocery Company. Sue went out to the Franklin County High School before o'clock this morning, along with other pupils, to get their promotion cards, which they did, and left school shortly after 9. She told some of the girls that she failed in some studies and that if she went home she feared her adopted mother would whip her. and that she intended to kill herself and not go home, according to the children.
 The family Was not alarmed about her until very late this evening, and when they began to inquire for her the children told what they had heard her say earlier in the day. Soon men in cars were going in every direction but no trace had been found of her at a late hour tonight. Several people state that they saw her during the afternoon.
 There is Q report current also tonight taht she was kidnapped This also is based on what sheeis said to have told several school children. This report is tEat certain friend of hers had prom ised to carry her away.

DE FACTO FORCES BEGIN CAMPAIGN
 AGAINST BANDIT
Three Commands Are Sent Into Mountains to Hunt Down Villa and
 His Band
By Associated Press

Fl Paso, Tex, May 27,-The de facto government of Mexico has begun it's threatened campaign against Francisco Villa.
 Advices received here today indicate that at least three commands have been sent into the mountains of the Parral district to hunt down the bandit and that Villa has ahead of him the fastest dods- ing of his career if he is to escape the cordon of troops closing in on his bands
 In a dispatch to the de facto govern ment agent here discIaiming knowledge of the reported Kidnapping by Villa forces of Homer Carr, examining engineer for the American Smelling and Refining Company, who was supposed to have been taken off a train at Jiminez Tues day, General Ignacio Enriquez said he had concluded an unsatisfactory tele- graphic conference with Villa and was convinced that the government had no choice but to fight him.
 Friends of Carr were reassured at the same time by a wire from w. M Drury, manager of the American Smelling and Refining Companys mining department who said there was nothing" to the kid naping report.

With the opening of the series in Little Rock, the crisis in the career of the 1920 Barons is dawning strong upon Moley and his men. Slipping. sliding, clutching at every straw, seemingly to no avail. the Barons are fast losing their hold on high honors in the Southern League Four consecutive defeats at the hands of the Memphis Chicks have brought the Barons down from second to fourth place.
 When the Barons went to Memphis they were, one half game from the leadership of the league. Now they four and half games from top, and are just one half game from second division.
 From the showing made by the Barons recently, one can safely judge that if the Barons slip back into second division, with Memphis, Mobile, Little Rock and Atlanta ahead of them, they will not rise to the top again. The Barons led the league for two days, and it is beginning to look like those two days constituted the total time that the locals would have the leadership
 Unless an ancient jinx is chased away. the Barons are likely to lose the series to the Travellers. The rule in the past has been that Little Rock triumphed over Birmingham in al least thirds of the games played. There is always that element of hope in us, however. which causes us to believe that the next series will break the jinx. Perhaps this one may.

New Orleans. May 27.-Police tonight were still without definite information as to the whereabouts of the two men who at the lunch hour today held up the teller and a clerk at the Algiers branch of the Cana Comm ercial Bank, stole S2,1S5 and left behind them more than s25 000 in cash.
 The robbers forced the two bank of fcials into the vault while they took the money from the tellers window, overlooking in their search of the vault the larger amount therein. The men are described as being about 22 and 27 years old and neatly dressed but the police have no other clue
