They VIII Walk Out On
October 80th.

Chicago, Oct. IA. Rail workers
hurled an ultimatum at their employ
ers today by deciding to strike on
October 30 unless negotiations on
wages and working conditions are re-
opened.
Railroad executives, who met here
today, defied the most powerful labor
unions in the nation by proceeding to
slash wages in tho face Of strike.
The decision, to strike was reached
by heads Of four railroad brotherhoods
early today, following several days Of
conferences.
According to the plans mapped out
by the union heads, men on all lines
will not be called out at once. The
nations transportation system has
been divided into ten groups for strik-
ing purposes.
Workers on the roads comprising
one group will be called out first. Then
if the management refused to confer
with the men for the purpose Of bet
tering wages and working conditions,
workers in the next group will be
called out, and so on down the line
until all the 100000 union workers
have deserted their posts and tied up
the nations transportation system.

Evening.

The most profitable event which has
occurred in Maysville Is slated to take
place next week in the coming of the
Conference of Fundamentals"
This conference is in charge of the
most noted men in America. These
men have realized the trend of the
times to forget God and are giving
their time to get before the people the
Conference on Fundamentals.

there is no guarantee asked or given
by Maysville. The men come and
furnish their own entertainment, and
the Offering which will be taken each
evening will be all they receive, If
the offerings fail to pay expenses they
foot their bills themselves.
1t is of interest to Know that the
men coming are recognized for their
success"

largely attended Baptist church in
Minneapolis, Mimi, which by his own
untirlng effort has brought 1t from a
small congregation to its present size.
Much praise is due man who in these
days of Indifference to the church
can by the help of God perform such a
miracle. Because of his interest in
the church at large he is giving his
time to the promotion Of these com
ventions over the states.
Then there is DR.. Charles Alexan-
der, who has given up his pastorate in
Mineral Wells, Texas, to do this kind
Of work. He is noted for his ability
as a Bible teacher.
There are to be five men of the same
character and ability as Drs. Riley and
Alexander.
All of the churches of the town are
united in this effort to make this big
event in Maysville. There will be only
the one service Sunday evening when
all the churches will unite in one big
union service in the Baptist church
All congregations will be expected to
attend this service and enjoy the mes
sage that will be given.
