Williamson, w. Va.-The first ami
which 10 persons were killed, passed
quietly throughout the Tug River zone,
although e9 citizens of Mingo county
took occasion to be sworn in as men,
bers of State police to act in case of
emergency,
The oath was administered to the
volunteers in Williamson and prepara
tions were made to swear in others al
towns in the West Virginia-Kentucky
border fighting region. It was said
that at least 200 men would assume the
duties of State policemen to maintain
law and order.
The authorities were busy investi-
eating shooting at Rawl, War Eagle
and at the Lyck Creek tent colony.
Reports indicated that the firing at
Rawl was of a demonstrative nature.
Late reports from War Eagle, where
the headhouse, a conveyor and an
electric locomotive at the War Eagle
coal mine were destroyed by fire, were
to the effect that the loss would
amount to more than $4,000. Alex.
Bishop, president of the Mingo County
Court, went to the scene with blood
hounds.
John Tussing and Charles Tully, su-
perintendent of the Crystal Brock
mine, at Rawl, were fired upon while
travelling in an automobile. They
abandoned the machine and took

hours. Capt. J. R. Brockus, of the

Rochester, MINI. - The body OF

RAIL BOARD To
PERMIT DECREASE
Prevailing Conditions Justify
Readjustment
TO AFFECT MILLION MEN
Becomes Effective July 1-OnIy Un-
skilled Employees OF Roads Come
Under This Order OF Fed
eral Commission.

Chicago.-The United States Rail-
road Labor Board announced its in
tention of revising downward the
wages of more than 100000 unskilled
rail workers, effective July !. The
amount of the decrease will be made
public on June l.
At the same time the board an
nounced that it would hold hearings
on June s regarding proposals by the
roads to decrease the wages of other
classes of employees. and would also
make its decision in these cases ef-
fective on the same date. A similar
decision in the case of skilled work
ers would mean a cut in the pay of
practically every railway worker in
the country on July 1 and would affect
approximately two million men, it was
pointed out.
The announcement, which said that
prevailing conditions justify to some
extent yet to be determined, read
justment downward of wages" was en-
tirely unexpected and came only few
hours after the close of the hearings
which have been in progress since
early in April. Neither the roads nor
the representative unions had expect
ed any announcement for several
weeks.
On July 20. 1920, the board rendered
classes of railway employees approx
imately 21 per cent, or about $600000,-
900 a year.
Several months ago several roads
announced that they could no longer
operate under this wage award and
announced reductions averaging about
20 per cent of unskilled employees.
The workers appealed to the board,
which decided that the roads could
not make summary reductions, but
must first hold conferences with their
men and then, if no agreement could
be reached, submit the case to the
board for decision.
Practically every large road in the
country then held conferences with its
unskilled employees regarding reduc-
tions, and when the employees refused
to accept cuts carried the case to the
board. Nearly hundred cases in all
were thus appealed, and the board fl
nally decided to hear them as a unit
instead of separately.
In presenting their case, the roads
pleaded that they were being forced
to pay more for labor than they could
employ it for in the open market;
that reduction in the cost of living
justified q similar reduction in wages;
that they were being forced to operate
in many cases at loss, and that they
wished to reduce their rates for the
benefit of the public. but could not do
so while forced to pay wartime scale
to labor
The employees in their reply
charged that the financial embar-
rassment of the roads was due to
gross mismanagement; that increased
rentals had practically nullified any
decrease in other necessities; and that
the wages paid rail workers were still
below those paid in other lines of in
dustry Employees maintained work
men should receive living wage, and
introduced statistics to determine such
wage.

Supreme Court Jurist SuCCumbs

27 YEARS ON TRIBUNAL
Had Remarkable Career-DistInguis
Jurist Served In Confederate
Army And The United
States Senate.
27 YEARS ON TRIBUNAL

Washington.-Chie Justice Edward
Douglas White of the United States
Supreme Court died at Garfield Hos
pital. His death had been expected for
several days. Last week he submitted
to an operation for bladder trouble and
had improved steadily until last Tues
day when he suffered a relapse
Chief Justice White was in a Sc.
rious condition when he entered the
hospital. He refused to go under the
knife until he felt that his services
were not needed on the Supreme
Bench.
Coming from family of judges, his
father and his grandfather before
him having been on the bench, Chief
Justice White had had a judicial in.
heritance as well as legal training.
His knowledge of the Civil Law was
generally regarded as the most pro-
found of any man that ever sat on
the bench of the Supreme Court of
the United States. He developed a
specially for questions of interstate
commerce, and his contribution to the
law of the land probably will be a
permanent one.
He was born in the parish of La
fourche, La, November 8, 1845. His
parents were Catholics, and he was
of that faith. His education was in
Catholic institutions. In his early
hn
Mount ST. Mary's near Emmitsburg,
Md; later he entered the Jesuit Col
lege in New Orleans, and finally he
went to Georgetown College,. of Wash
ington, D. c.
Chief Justice White served in the
Confederate Army during the Civil
War; practiced law among the people
of Louisiana, and became a sugar
and high character were recognized
by the people in repeated commission,
as a public official. In 1874 he was
elected as senator in the Louisiana
Legislature. Four years later he was
appointed associate justice of the SUI
preme Court of the State.
In 1891 Mr.. White became national
figure A senatorial contest was waged
in Louisiana, and he entered the race.
He had managed the campaign of Gov
ernor Nichols for reelection and had
been prominent in the reform element
of Louisiana. He had fought vigorous
ly in favor of the antilottery move
ment. The Legislature finally chose
him to succeed Senator Eustis.
Chief Justice White was in the Sen
ate three years before he was elevated
to the bench of the Supreme Court of
the United States by President Cleve-
land in 1894. During that period he
distinguished himself on many occa-
sions. His nomination to the bench
ended memorable contest in the Sen
ate. Two New Workers had been nom
mated by President Cleveland, but
both failed of confirmation. Throwing
to the winds the custom which for IS
years had kept New York man on
the bench, Mr.. Cleveland named Sen
ator White. He was confirmed within
an hour.
