night. when leaders of the switchmen,

men, at Il joint meeting. adopted reSolu-
tIOns Withdrawing authorization of

would take similar action. These were
the only unions which had authorized a
strike.
The vote. calling eff the strike was
unanimous by organizations. w g. Lee.
president of the brotherhood of railroad
trairmen. announced.
L. i. Sheppard, president of the Or
der of railway conductors, said that the
unions had decided to call of the strike
because OF the growing public opinion
that the strike would be against the labor
board. and consequently the government
and not against the railroads.
1T was evident also that the entire
Washington administration was opposed
to Us and that we would have had little
chance of gaining our detectives, said
Mr., Sheppard
We called this strike to gain certain
rights TO which our men were entitled, ~
AIr. Sheppard told the Associated Press
1t soon became evident, however. that
the roads were succeeding in their mis-
leading propaganda to the effect that we
really would be striking against the gov
eTnnent.
This railroad propaganda found its
way to the United States railroad labor
board This governmental agency told
us that it would look on u strike as
against il and the government and not
against the roads, and that the full force
of the government would be brought to
hear against us if we walked out I'm
der such circumstances there was moth
ing to do but to annul our orders for the

METHJEN. Mass. Oct 2S.-The body
of Edward r. Searles. millionaire re
eluse, was exhumed today from a vault
on his former estate here and an autopsy
was begun TO determine whether there
was any fcurdatioii for reports that his
death was due u poisoning.
The eXhumation and autopsy came as
post m0rtem event 70 a career marked by
the unusual as aftermath to charges by
counsel for Albert r. Searles. nephew
in court proceedings several months age
that the viii of the recluse was procured
by plot and as a direct result of anony-
nous charges to the district attorney
that the old man died by poison.
Searles died in August. 1920. He had
been i'll for long time. Certain aspects

KEENE, n. H.. Oct.

kBENE, n. H., Oct -.
The showing made by the county
towns is in many ways the most notable
development in the campaign to raise
S225. 900 for the new community hospital
here Three towns have thus far raised
more than 62 per cent of the $4,000
which it was thought might fairly be al
lotted to them as their share of the
whole fund. Their pledges now total
$31. lat.
There have been three workers rallies
Beginning last Friday. and at each of
these about $4,000 was reported by the
workers of city and county. so that the
total TO date is Just short of S1J0,00O,
or exactly S149.2J4. This is a little more
than 66 per cent Of the whole
When it is considered that the county
towns outside of keene are in some in
stances. a good many miles from Keene,
that a number of them have as yet made
no reports. and that. the workers in the
city have every advantage over their out
of-town neighbOrs in reaching subscrib-
crS, the county town record is regarded by
the campaign executive committee as sur
prisingly good. I'm point of fact, it was
a county town, Marlboro. which first ex-
ceeded its quota.
At last nights rally the number of in
dividual subscriptions reported from the
county was 13J and the total in pledges
was S13.S4T. so that the pledges average
slightly more than 500 apiece Certain
of the county towns have as yet reported
no subscriptions. great or small This
fact does not diminish the complete con-
fidence of the committee that each and
every town in the county will eventually
let itself be heard from to the full meas
ure of its Shart.
In the community endeavor. il is felt
that no town win prove a laggard Wal
pole. for example, which was known to
be served by the hospital at Bellows
