REV. |. A. DAVIS

Failure.

The community was most painfully
shocked late Monday afternoon when
the news spread that Rev. l.. A.
Davis had lost his life by drowning,
the appalling tradegy occurring in the
Ramey mill pond at Gilbert shortly
before 5 O'Clock, while teaching a
group of boy scouts to swim.
Rev. Davis took great interest in the
welfare of the young people and made
sacrifices for their benefit and enter
tainment, and it was while he was put
ting forth an extra effort to teach one
of the boys to swim that he lost his
life. Mr.. Davis was an expert swim
men and had been in the water several
hours on the afternoon of his death.
At the time of the drowning he was
carrying one Of his pupils on his back.
Persons on the bank saw him sink
suddenly, the boy also going under,
the latter being rescued as he came
to the surface with plank floated to
his aid. The minister never came up
after first disappearing.
Men from the saw mill rendered I'M
mediate assistance to recover the body
with the use Of pike poles but it was
35 minutes before it was located in
eight feet of water and brought to the
surface. Dr. Fairly was summoned,
but the reverend gentleman had been
ushered into the other world at the
moment he sank, the doctor pronounc-
ing his death due to heart failure.
The body was brought to Oroiino
that evening and prepared for ship
ment to Wallula Junction, the home of
Mr.. Davis before accepting the pastor

UNION LEADERS ARE
GUARDING AGAINST
AN ILLEGAL STRIKE
Fear Walkout Might Develop in
Protest Against Wage Re

(Hy the Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Aug. 27-Railway union
leaders kept watch tonight to guard
against any unauthorized walk out OF
shopmen which 1t was feared might
develop in protest against the wage
reduction decision of the railroad labor
board. While B. M. Jewell, president,
and six other officials of the federated
shop crafts, rejected altogether the
labor boards order cutting overtime
pay, they warned the men against
quitting work at this time.
The fact that a strike vote taken
by the shopmen several weeks ago in
connection with the wage reduction
effective June 80, was reported to
have been strongly in favor of walk
out adds to the seriousness of the
it was said tonight by union
officials. The fear that an unauthor-
lied strike might develop tomorrow
was said to be the outgrowth of re-
sentiment felt against the new rule of
the labor board depriving men reg
ularly assigned to Sunday work Of
time and one-half overtime pay.
Reports were received of an un-
authorized walkout of Pennsylvania
Railway Shopmen in Cincinnati, Ohio.
at union headquarters tonight Mr..
Jewell said he believed the Cincinnati
shopmen would return to work.
Within a few hours after our office
was informed OF trouble at Cincin-
natl" he said. 1--WE had three men
from nearby cities headed that way.
Their instructions were to get the men
back on the job. leaving the settle
