Williamson W est Va, February B. Testimony by Isaac Brewer a former de- fendant in the Matewan shooting case, featured the trial today of the 19 men who were indicted on charges of being implicated in the killing of Baldwin Felts detective in the battle at the little mountain town. Charges against Brewer in connection with the case were dis ] missed recently, and reports were cur rent to the effect that he would turn states evidence.
 The witpess testified that short time , before the battle started, he met Sid Hatfield, chief of police of Matewan. and one of the defendants. The Baldwin FeltS men had been evicting miners families from coal company's houses dur. ing the day, he said, and when he met Hatfield the latter remarked that Mayor Testerman, who was killed in the fight, refused to issue warrants for the arrest o; the private detectives. The police chief suggested to him, Brewer added, that they ''get a bunch of men and go into the hills and kill those Baldwin men as they come out of the hollow" Hat field also told him that if the mayor messed around'' in his business, he would ''cut him in two with a bullet.' Brewer testified
 he was in hardware store in front of which Mayor Testerman and A. c. Felts, a Baldwin man, were killed. Felts. Tes- tcrman and c. V.

ERIE RAILROAD ASSA|LS POWERS
 OF LABOR BOARD
Argument Centers About Order to Road to Make No Change in Wages, Which Are A.
 ready Reduced
By Associated Press

Chicago February 23-Sharp conten- ton over the powers of the United States labor board and the provisions of the transportation act marked the hearing of employees of the Eric railroad against their employer before the board today The petition of the employees charged violation of the act and of decisions of the labor board. Representatives of the road denied both. The case resulted from an order. effective February I, re. ducing common labor wages and deduct ing one days pay a week from the sal aries of all employees paid on monthly basis
 Most of the argument centered about whether a ruling of the board on Feb ruary 12, ordering the road to make no change in wage rates was compulsory upon the road, which had already put a

reduction into effect, It was conceded by the railroad representatives that the intent of the order was to maintain the rates of the wage award of July, 1920 They denied, however, violation of the law in changing those rates. Business depression and revenues below operating expenses were given as the reason for the reduction order.
 During his testimony, R. s. Parsons general manager for the road, was asked by Henry T. Hunt, public member of the board, whether the roads position meant that it would not obey the orders of the board.
 We can't do it," MT. Parsons replied We want to do everything possible to go along with the board, but don't know what We would do if the board is- sued impossible orders"
 EXPLAINS ATTITUDE
 Samuel AdaEls, attorney for the Erie railroad, explained the roads attitude on the transportation act from the legal standpoint and denied the power of the board to continue the rates of it's deci- sion No 2 (July, 192O), until hearing had been held and decision reached. He questioned the enforcement powers of the board and declared it's powers were confirmed to the establishment of just and reasonable wages.
 This sweeping denial of authority in the hands of the board brought from U. g. Bratton, attorney for the employees a denunciation of the railroads stand and the declaration that if there was no authority to enforce the boards deci- sions, as contended by Mir Adams, the employees would endeavor to find way to make the Erie pay.'
 long controversy was dragged in concerning what conferences had been held prior to bringing the dispute before the board MT. Parsons said he had endeavored to explain the situation to the employees but the roads financial condition made action imperative and, as a temporary expedient, the wage reduc- tion order was issued.
 Both MT. Parsons and MT. Adams brought in the question of wage rates in other industries and the reduction in cost of living They declared that al- though the wage decision was no doubt just and reasonable in July, 1920, con- dtions had changed and it could not ap- ply indefinitely.
 The case brought out the most diversi- fled argument yet offered in any hear ing before the board over wage mas0,rs and when the case was concluded late today the board had a mass of argu- ment ranging from it legal powers un- der the transportation act to the prevail ing rates of common labor in Youngs- town, Ohio, to consider before arriving at decision
