 Not word until we get chance to look at the order" said W. G. Lee, pres ident of the Trainmen, and his stand was identical with that of W. s. Carter president of the Bremen and Engine men; L. E. Shepperd, chief of the or der of Conductors and F. A. Burgess, assistant grand chief of the Engineers. All four have been in attendance here at meeting with Southeastern railway executives.
 The union chiefs represented their organizations at a two-day meeting here with railroad executives to con sider the advisability of setting up an adjustment board to handle grievances and differences between road and em- ployees in Southeastern territory. The meeting adjourned tonight without an agreement, but it will be convened again in two or three weeks, after the executives and brotherhoOds' represen- tatives have conferred with their as- sociations MT. Burgess estimated that SS, ,000 brotherhood engineers in the country, 5SO00 were finding their number of trips more or less radically below normal, while 30 900 were being called only for two or three trips month and would find their earnings reduced to nominal figures.

 If the writ of prohibition is granted, Attorney General Utley said, the gov ernor Monday may set new date Of execution. A new date of execution will be necessary because the date for merlv set will have lapsed by Monday. Although Friday is usually the day Of execution of criminals, this is custom established by tradition and not a rule of law. and should the writ of prohi- lition be allowed the governor could fix the date of execution on the same day.

ELAINE RIOTERS
 NOT DIE TODAY
LAWYERS FOR SIX NEGROES SECURE FURTHER DELAY BY
 LEGAL PROCEDURE

With phases of their cases set for hearing in two courts, the six Elaine negro rioters, whose date of execution had been set by Governor McRae for today, will obtain respite until Monday, and probably longer.
 The latest move in the cases was the application for a writ of prohibition filed yesterday by the attorney general with Chief Justice F. A. Mccullough of the Arkansas Supreme Court and set for hearing Monday. Had the wrlt been allowed yesterday it would have taken jurisdiction immediately from the Pulaski Chancery Court, which has granted temporary injunction against the execution, and, in the absence or other legal bars, the electrocutlon might have proceeded today.
 Tn the application for writ Of pro hibition yesterday Ebert Goodwin, assis- tant attorney general appeared for the state and the negroes were represented by their lawyers, F. A. MeHaney. j. H Carmichael and Scipio A. Jones. Chief Justice Mccullough called the other members of the Supreme Court into consultation and Monday was set as the day for hearing the application. Oral argument will be presented be- fore the court at it's regular weekly ses- sion.
 In the meantime the pendency of the application before the Supreme Court does not remove the matter from the Chancery Court. The Supreme Court has before it only the application, and has not taken judicial eognizance of the sp ol sI II Qo!um uonsonb eq 's9spo take jurisdiction in the matter.

Chancery Hearing This Afternoon.

Tn the habeas corpus proceedings brought before Chancellor Martinean Wednesday, the Chancellor granted temporary injunction against the exc cution and announced a hearing at two o'clock this afternoon when he IS eX- pected either to make the injunction narmanent or to dismiss the cases. The latter alternative would restore the ne. eroes to their status before the inJuhez tion was granted-subject to execution today. Tn this case, however, 1t IS cer- taip that attorneys would appeal. One of the attorneys said Wednesday that II necessary the matter would be taken ogoin to the United States Supreme Court.
 It is popularly supposed that the SO ciety for the advancement of the Col ored People, Northern organization is supplying funds for the long and ex- p.nsive litigation that has been wag- ed in behalf of the Elaine negroes.
 However. should the chancellor make the injunction permanent and the su- preme court Monday grant the writ or prohibition. the effect also would be to restore the status quo Granting the writ of prohibition would nulify from th beginning any action the Chancery Court might have taken.
 Attorney General Utley yesterday said that in his opinion the Chancery Court has no jurisdiction and can as sume none. in criminal matters.
