More than half of the persons

case. He said such was matter

called these machines driven by

Executive Council
Makes Annual Report

Denver, Cole, June 13-The trade
union movement in America has
successfully defended its position
against the organized efforts of anti
union employers the Executive
Council of the American Federation
of Labor declares in its annual re-
port submitted today to the fedora
ton convention here. 1t adds that
the outlook is for continuance of
not only successful defense, but
steady and consistent progress"
TT is true" says the report, that
the organized employers are still
making strenuous efforts to destroy
trade unionism and that in many di-
rections the campaign to reduce
wages continues. What is equally
true is, that these movements con-
tinue with constantly decreasing Wig
or and effect and that their momen-
tum Of three months ago has been
dissipated.
There is need for the utmost vigi-
lance and labor can not relax in any
single effort. but must. on the con-
trary. continue it's struggle with all
idarity. It may, however, find salts
faction and cause for congra tulation
in the fact that the employers, united
as never before, aggressive as never
before and financed as never before
have failed so signally and so COM
pletely in the purpose they sought to
accomplish"
The Councils report covers wide
range of subjects and includes nearly
a score of specific recommendations
Among them are:
That the railroad situation be in
vesti gated by a National Commission,
consisting of seven representatives
each of the public. the stockholders
and classified labor. with a view to
recommending remedial legislation to
Congress.
That the Executive Council be
authorized to conduct an investiga-
ton with a view to recommending at
the next convention a policy as a

passed through his mind when he
saw the Essex car racing along up
the hill to the death of it's driver.
Was Watching Essex
William Murray. who lives on
Wilder street in Hallowell, the mo-
torman of the electric car which fig
ured in the crash, testified for the
State as the first witness. He testi-
fed that he was coming down the
hill at rate of about 10 miles an
hour. About so passe ngers were on
the car. He saw two automobiles
coming up The road. The Oakland
was ahead (The car driven by
Benn.) Then the Essex. driven by
Daggett. swung in ahead of the Oak
land and onto the track. The wit
ness said he obse rived how near the
Essex was coming onto the electric
car. The motorman reversed his
brakes and was down to between
four and five miles an hour The
Essex car was within fifteen feet of
the> electric before it swerved off of
the tracks. The Essex was struck
by the car middleway of the radia-
tor AS the Essex swerved around
the tail end struck the Oakland car.
The mOtorman said the cars were
about at South Chestnut street when
he first noticed them. Upon cross
examination he said that he had his
eyes on the Essex car which was
running in the car tracks and not on

witness replied in the affirmative.
Miss Ruth NJ. Buchannon, who
lives at the home of Mrs. Harry
Lyons at - South Chestnut street.
and Mrs. Lyons were the next wit
nesses called by the State. They
testified to being on the front porch
of the Lyons home at the time of
the accident and observing two cars
passing by, up Western avenue. They
remarked upon the speed of the
cars, but their remarks were not ad-
mitted in the case, because they
were not in direct hearing of the
participants in the case.
At the close of the States testi-
mony Attorney Harrington for the
defense asked that the case be dis
missed because of the lack of evil
dence. Judge Cony sustained the
County Attorney IN expressing the
opinion that there was evidence for
a case and that the case proceed.

own defense. He met Dallas Arm

in just a moment the Essex car went
by. In answer to t's - rey's ques-
tons, he said they were not racing
and that he was not driving his car
more than Is miles an hour.
He said that an Oakland roadster
could not be run A. miles as it would
not keep on the road. The car he
was driving was a six cylinder.
He had been driving the car for a
month. going about 1000 miles. Miss
Best had driven it some. He said he
had been held up in Hallowell once for
speeding but that he paid the costs of
court and the case was dismissed.
Harold A. Warren, blacksmith. was
next called. He was trying out Ford
car that night on Western Avenue.
The Essex car passed him with
"swash" as he demonstrated the
noise. He did not hear the car until
it passed him because his car was so
noisy. Then the Essex slid ahead of
him and in back of the Oakland car.
Mr.. Warren testified that the Essex
appeared to be crawling up on the
Oakland at considerable rate of
speed. The roadster appeared to be
going straight and at the same rate
of speed
William s. McKim was on Western
avenue on the night Of the accident
and testified to seeing the two cars
going up the avenue. The second car

Pastors Supporters Institute
Fight for Church Property
at Elkton, Md.

Special Correspondence of Every Evening
Elkton, Md. May 27-The action OF
the Presbyterian General Assembly In
sustaining the New Castle Presbytery
in its custer of Rev. John McEimoyle
from the pastorate OF the Elkton Church
II is said will not end the controversy
which has helped to keep Elkton and
DIR. McElmoyie in the limelight Tor
some time.
Intimations and rumors are circulat-
Ing in the community that a large pro-
portion OF the congregation, favorable
to DIR. McElmoyie, will leave the estab-
lished church and set up an independent
institution with the deposed pastor as
it's head. and that the question of the
legal ownership of the present church
for settlement.
While such sentiments are known to
be entertained by some of DIR. McEl-
moyl IS supporters, no action in the
matter has yet been taken, so far as can
be learned at this time. The members
of the congregation are apparently
waiting the calling of the congregational
meeting by the Presbytery of New Cas-
tie, as directed by the General Assem-
bly,. 1t has been ordered that such a
meeting be called within the next thirty
days for the purpose of taking all
measures necessary to bring about the
peace and harmony OF the church"
The decision OF the Assembly restores
the old board of elders who started the
fight in 1918 by asking DIR. McElmoylc
to resign. They are H. M. Mccullough,
William Sterling Evans and DIR. w. T..
Morrison When the congregation voted
to retain DR.. McElmoyIe, these men re-
fused to act and at a meeting called by
DR.. McElmoyie new elders were chosen
These men were not recognized by the
Preebytery. however. which eventually
brought the case before the highest body
of the denomination. It's decision makes
