Had Left Home But Few
Minutes Before She
Was Attacked
MAN HUNT IS STARTED
Up to a Late Hour Last
Night Guilty Person
Not Arrested
(By Associated Press)

Perry, Fla, Dec. 2.-The body
of Miss Ruby Hendry, young
school teacher, was found along
side the railroad tracks between
Perry and her home by train
crew this afternoon. Her throat
had been slashed and her head
beaten with blunt instrument
The body was found just outside of
town near creek over which she had
to cross in coming from hre home to
town. The attack occurred about A
o'clock. A few minutes earlier she
had left the home of her sister, Mrs.
H. A. Miller, with whom she lived, to
come to town, distance of about
quarter of mile.
The crew of a passing train MOTTO
ed the body as they were pulling from
the station. The train was halted
and authorities notified.
Following an investigation thesau-
thorities concluded the attack was the
work of a fiend. The ground for sew
eral yards around the scene bore
mute evidence of the struggle the
young woman had made for her life
and the suffering she had undergone.
Her throat was cut, her head bore
bruises from a heavy instrument.
The news fo the crime spread rap
idly and man-hunt was soon in the
making. Late tonight the authorities
said they werew orking on several in
definite clews, but otherwise their
search had been fruitless.
The young woman was described
as being about q or % years old, and
pretty, or, in the words of one of
those who knew her we'll, she was "a
sweet, unobtrusive, wholesome coun-
try girl, loved and esteemed by the
community"

10000 MaChiniStS
May Get Back Pay
(By Federated Press)

Washington-More than $4,000 ma
chinists employed formerly by the
Bethlehem Steel Co. may receive more
than a million dollars in belated war
bonuses if the house claims commit
tee acts favorably upon the recon-
mendations of Chief Justice William
Howard Taft.
Taft ordered the payment of these
claims when he was joint chairman
of the labor board, but the Bethlehem
Steel Co., although collecting from
the government on 80 per cent plus"
contracts which included these bo-
muses., later refused to pay the claims.
They were upheld in this decision by
reactionary members of the advocate
generals office in the war depart
ment.
The only method left was to apneal
to congress to assume the liability
lodged by the profteering steel con-
Germ, and the claims finally were pre-
sented by Pennsylvania congressman.
Chief Justice Taft emphatically in
formed the committee that the gov
ernment was morally obligated to pay
the money and justice should not be
longer delayed.

Long State Ballot

Columbus, Ohio-Voters of Ohio
will be presented with the longest
ballot that has ever been given them
when they enter the polls in August
to vote their choice of candidates for
state office. While the time limit for
filing does not expire until midnight
of Friday this week enough candi-
dates have already filed to indicate
that the ballot we'll be of considerable
size. Two years ago the ballot con-
tanned 49 names, while in 1918 there
were only 80, and in 1914 only 35.
This year it is indicated that the total
number will be closer to 60 than so,
although there is some doubt whether
all who have declared they would file,
will enter the contest. One thing
seems certain and that is that the list
of entries will be the greatest since
Ohio adopted the nominating by
primary law, and voters of the state
will have a chance of picking candi-
dates that will be to their liking either
in color, race, religion or politics.

Steel Trust Escapes
Freight Rate Cut

New York-The seeel trust is
"lucky" 1t escapes the 10 per cent
freight cut, ordered by the interstate
commerce commission, and it is
privileged to take advantage of re-
cent wage reductions by the railroad
labor board.
This information was developed
when John A. Topping, an officer OF
the Republican Iron & Steel company
was being examined by Samuel I'm
termyer, counsel for the Lockwood
committee. The witness stated that
the trusts ore-carrying railroads
which are approximately 1000 miles
long, are not affected by the freight
cut. All of the independents must
use these roads to secure their raw
material
Mr.. Topping estimated that the
steel trust possesses a differential of
from So to SIS ton over independents
because of transportation advantages
control of raw material, massed pro-
duction and greater efficiency. This
differential amounts to from $51 ,0O0,-
900 and $85,000,000 a year, but the
trust makes no attempt to pass this
difference to the public.
The witness stated that he would
not "go so far" as to say that the
steel trust has the independents "by
the throat" but he acknowledged that
the trusts differential gave it "a very
decided advantage" and that when
demand was in excess of supply the
trust had the independents ain the
hollow of it's hand"

favors Incorporation
Of Labor Unions
(By Federated Press)

New rk-Incorporation of labor
unions would shield the members from
personal liability except in cases
where they might be regarded as hav-
ing taken an active part in acts re-
sulting in restraint of interstate COM
merce, said Samuel Untermyer, inter-
nationally known lawyer, in comment
ing on the United States supreme
courts decision in the Coronado cases.
He declared that in his opinion the
same would be true Of local unions
where commerce entirely within a
state might be claimed to be restrain
ed. Where there are state antitrust
unions, he said, Incorporation would
have the same effect of protecting in
dividual members of unions. He in
stanced particularly the Danbury
hatters' case, in which the individual
union members were held liable for
alleged damages resulting by union
boycott, although the union was not
incorporated.
"It would be great protection to
the labor unions to be incorporated so
that in cases of the recovery of
damages the collection could be limit
ed to the funds of the union except
where the damages can be shown to
have the direct result of the acts of
individual members, in which ever:
the liability would be limited to
them"
He declared the "terrors" of labor
union Incorporation are purely ina
ginary," while there are substantial
safeguards against individual liability
and many other advantages attached
to incorporation"

When Reason Finally Triumphs
BY John P. Frey
Editor, International Molders' Journal

tisfactory examination; that he hau
acted without giving sufficient
thought to what the molders had re-
quested.
He was willing to place all the
strikers back to work except the chair
man. Against him he seemed to have
a bitter prejudice. Not only was there
the German name, and the thought
that the man might be disloyal to his
country, but in addition, while looking
outof his office window, he had seen
him get the best of a professional
strike breaker in a fist fight. His
self-respect and his American belief
in law and order, he said, would pre-
vent him from ever allowing this man
to enter the plant again, for should he
re-employ him it would be accepted as
evidence by the other employees that
fist fights on their part would be con-
doned.
What the strike leader had done in
thrashing the strike breaker had been
fully justified. In addition he was a
fine type of intelligent American
workman, and we desired to see him
reinstated in his former position.
He had already signifed his willing
ness to eliminate himself from the
city if necessary, and was opposed to
being made an issue of; for his great
est interest had been the strikers
welfare rather than his own. But
there were good reasons why it was
advisable to have him reinstated if
this was possible.
Discussing the matter with the ex-
mayor after he had expressed his ultl-
matum, we said that in our opinion
his position was unsound because in
all probability this man was the most
valuable molder in the foundry. He
was possessed of courage, of decision,
of ability to handle himself in a crisis,
and the only objection which the
foundryman had to him was the fact
that these qualifications had been
: manifested during strike against
a high priced strike breaker, who had
been discomforted before his eyes in
front of his office window.
We suggested that the wise en-
ployer was the one who, studying the
qualifications possessed by those in
his employ, developed these to the
best advantage. The man had shown
much ability as leader of men during
the strike. That same quality would
manifest itself if he was employed
in the foundry. We made no request
upon the mayor when leaving, but in
stead left the seeds for further
thought on his part.
Some two weeks later we were in
| formed that our member had been
reemployed in the foundry, and when
we visited the city month later to
call upon the foundryman we found
to our surprise, that he had been made
! the foreman because of the qualities
of leadership, and the executive and
administrative ability which he pos
sessed. He has been the foreman
since that time, and his services have
given satisfaction, not only to his en-
ployer, but to the members of our
union.
This was an instance where the psy-
chology of the situation, as much as
the merits of the case, determined
the issue in an employers mind.

Would Abolish
Labor of Children

Washington-The national child
labor conference convened by Presi-
dent Gompers organized the perma-
nent conference for the abolition OF
child labor to work determinedly to
abolish child labor for profit through
out the United States and Canada
The conference was called to consider
the situation arising from the de-
cision of the United States supreme
court that the federal child labor law
imposing an excise tax upon the
profits of child labor products is un-
constitutional.
Mr.. Gompers was elected chairman
of the permanent conference; Miss
Florence Kelley of the national con-
sumers' league, vice chairman; and
Miss Matilda Lindsey of the national
woman's trade union league, secretary
The conference authorized the
chairman to appoint committee OF
10 to coordinate the efforts of organ
izations working for the abolition OF
child labor; the committee was in
structed to prepare for submission to
a subsequent meeting of the confer
ence the best possible bill to meet the
objections of the supreme court to the
two federal child labor laws already
hit with the judicial veto as we'll as a
constitutional amendment designed to
confer upon congress authority to en-
act child labor legislation.
Mr.. Gompers told the conference
that it ought to be the universal policy
to demand of every candidate for con-
gress this fall a pledge to support
whatever legislation may be necessary
to end child labor, and that citizens
should vote for no candidate who re-
fuses to give such a pledge.

Frankfurt, Germany-This city has

manifested unusual ability and are
thought worthy of higher course
of training than they have received
in public schools are given free in
struction. The academy is operated
at the expense of the State and the
University of Frankfurt, while the
trade unions bear the living expenses
of the students during their stay in
Frankfurt.
