ING W0UNDING OF

James Penn Shot In the Leg ut Early
Hour Monday-Glyes Police No
Reason for TrOnble-Case
Thoroughly Examined.

Police are today carefully investi-
eating the apparently mysterious
shooting and wounding of Jim Penn,
aged colored man who lives in Nor
rison alley near Union street in the
Fifth ward.
Penn was shot in the right leg early
Monday morning. Neighbors heard
shots at about o'clock Monday
morning but knew nothing of the
wounding of Penn until 1t was re-
ported by neighbors today. Police
man Fred Wells went to Penns home
to investigate but Penn refused to
give the officer any information in re-
gard TO his injury, claiming that he
did not know how he was injured and
denying that there was any trouble
which caused the shooting.
Neighbors, however, say that there
was considerable noise in the neigh
borhood Of Second and Union streets
hortly before the shots we're heard
and the police are OF the opinion that
there was some trouble which devel-
ped in Penn getting shot. They are
looking into the matter and expect to

-ime.
One colored man suspected of be-
ing in the trouble was sought today
by the police but escaped them

RAIL STRIKE IS
BROKEN, SAY HEADS
Of THE Big ROADS
Refusal Of Clerks, PrcIght-H Handlers
and Station Employees to Strike,
Is Solution, Say Road
Heads.

Washington. Oct. "a. - The pros
pective rail strike scheduled for 0c-
tober 30 was limited to approximately
one-fourth Of the natlofTs railroad
employees when officials OF the
Brotherhood Of Railway and Steam
ship Clerks, Freight Handlers. Ex-
press and Station Employees, repre-
senting 35O,OOO men, voted Sunday
night not to authorize a walkout by
their members for the time being.
This action increased the number
Of major rail unions which have voted
not to strike now to nine and the
number Of railroad employees bound
by such action TO about three-fourths
of the country's total Of approximate
ly 100000.
The vote was taken in meeting
which lasted several hours, and in
which some Of the officials at first
favored walkout on October 30, In
protest OF recent wage cuts. There
officials finally swung over to NO
strike-now" policy, but the question
of quitting work will be taken up
again after the Labor Board renders
decision on the rules and working
conditions questions now before 1t.
Sunday nights action by the clerks
left the signal men and the telegraph
ers the only organizations in the
eleven standard" rail unions which
may join the conductors, firemen. ell
gineers, trainmen and switchmen in
the strike they have called.
The telegraphers tentatively have
aligned themselves with the big five,
but officials of this union said Sun
day night that the decision might be
changed before the strike date ar
rivss.
The signal men have not yet voted.
Railroad officials today expressed
the belief that the backbone Of the
proposed strike was broken when a
majority Of the standard unions,
which control most Of the railroad
employees decided not to strike Oc-
tober 30.
Although a strike would affect all
train service men, officials said that
service would not be impaired for
more than a day or two and that these
men would be quickly replaced.
with all our shopmen and such
workers staying on the job the strike
would have little effect" said one rail
president. 1--WE would have had trou-
BILE with general strike-but we can
replace the train service men within a
short time-even though they are the
most important of the railroad EN-
ployees."
