IN Memory of
Etha HameS Ellerbe

Since we last met one of our COM
,ades has fallen asleep. A charter
member of the Fair Forest Chapter
and the first of our daughters to. be
taken from our midst. In her pass
.ng she gave new life to brighten
and bless the world. In the splendor
Of her prime she was called from labor
to rest. "Our sorrow is softened by
the comforting reflection that in that
arger, richer, fuller life into which she
las entered she will break the precious
llabastcr box of the deathless love
hat will make the very atmosphere of
heaven more fragrant by her pres
ence." She has not gone from us for
yer but has merely passed through
thGt portal into a .fairer land, into a
aappief Hfeas BIZ. ~ ;. > go
Therefore, be it resolvcd:
Whereas, God in His infinite wis
dom has taken from US our sister
Mrs. Etha Hames Ellcrbe, a faithful
member of the Fair Forest chapter, d.
A. R., that we, the members of this
chapter; do hereby bow to the will of
God knowing that He doeth all things
we'll.
Second, That in the death of our be-
owed sister our chapter has lost a
faithful member. We cherish the
memory of her beautiful life, its lofty
ideals and noble purposes; her quiet,
gentle influence was felt by all who
knew her.
Third, All faults and imperfections
in others were excused by her, and she
saw something beautiful and lovablc
in her fellowmen.
Fourth, Her life was so filled with
Christ in God that her very presence
brought calmness, faith and trust TO
those in trouble, none knew her but to
love her.
Fifth, Her prayer life has been an
inspiration not only to her immediate
family but to the community in which
she lived. Her daily life was so close
ly attached to the heavenly life that
her passing was but crossing the bor-
der line into the presence of her King.
Sixth, That we extend to her be-
reaved loved ones our deepest sympa-
thy, and that we send copy of these
resolutions to DR.. Ellerbe and Mrs
Hames, her mother, The Union Daily
Times, Progress and that copy be
placed in our minutes.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. +. NJ. Farr,
Chairman.
Mrs. Evelina Rice,
Mrs. Theodore Maddox,
Mrs. w. j. Halle.

INJUNCTION MAY
CAUSE STRIKE

Indianapolis, Nov. IA nationwide
strike of coal miners seemed inevita-
BILE tonight if operators heed the in
junction issued by Federal Judge A.
B. Anderson, which prescribed the
check off" of union dues.
A telegram sent late today from
'eadquarters of the United Mine
Workers of America after it had been
definitely learned that the injunction
vas not yet in effect, advised union
officials to regard discontinuance of
he "check off" as breaking the exist
ing wage agreement.
The telegram, signed by President
John l.. Lewis, Vice President Phillip
Iurray and Secretary William Green,
said: "Any abrogation or setting aside
IF any part or section of this agree
nent including the section providing
or the checking off of dues and as
iessments can not be regarded as
other than violation of the agree
ment and should be treated according
by the district officers and local
unins."
While no course of conduct for un-
on officials was outlined by the tele-
yram it was said authoritatively thai
he international officers regarded the
5trike as the unions only weapon to
2nforce a contract. The telegram was
sent to officials in 16 states, where
the check off provision obtains and
where 100000 of the $4,000 union
miners are, employed.
