MAYFIELD SORE

And Threatens To Appeal Com
m;ssion's Selection-OeadIock
On Eastern Site

Mayfield, KY, Sept. 4-Attor-
neys here who were prominent
in waging the fight for Mayfeld
as the site for the normal school
in Western Kentucky stated this
morning that thev would test
the constitutionality OF the pro-
ceedings and tnat they would
carry the fight to the State
School Board. not in the hope of
yet locating the school in May
field, but in hope of thoroughly
investigating the whole affair

The fact that one of the veal
thiest bankers of Murray sent a
large sum of money 10 Mayheld
as early as last Tune to be wa
gered on Murray getting the
school at odds of 6 to ) against
the field" and the statement of
a Paducah minister that one of
the commissioners told him early
after the commission was ap-
pointed that it was fixed final
", has awakened the citizenship
OF this city and county to action
and they will leave no stone un-
turned to thresh out the whole
matter.
w. !. Webb, president of the
city school board, and Judge
Bunk Gardner, formerly on the
circuit bench here, are attorneys
who have discussed the matter
of having the selection and the
circumstances threshed out be-
fore the State Board of Educa-
ton. They and other supporters
would be willing to allow the
school to remain in Murray, hav-
lng no serious objection to the
town itself, but feel certain that
certain unWholesome influences
were responsible for the selec-
ton in advance.
It is pointed out that the five
members who voted for Murray
were never open to arguments
advanced by other towns, while
the three who voted for Mayfeld
listened attentively.

LANCASTER MAN
FIRED AS GUARD

Corbin, KY, Sept. 4+QuicI
discharge of the offending guard
former chief of police Luther
Heron, of Lancaster, by Super
intendent Hollingsworth here af-
ter the guard is alleged to have
climbed into the cab of loco
motive, gun in hand and using
abusive language, to avenge a
fancied insult, seems to have sat
ished the aggrieved brotherhood
men and the matter is regarded
as closed incident. .
No strike vote was taken by
the brotherhood in mass meet
ing. They apparently had
learned of the action of the rail
road in dismissing the guard.
The sense of the meeting was
that the matter should remain in
statu quo, any action being left
to the chairman of the brother
hoods.
The railroad had promised the
Erotherhocds that the armed
guards in shops and yards would
rot interfere with them in their
duties. The first man who broke
the agreement and his orders
was dismissed. Superintendent
Hollingsworth said in his report
to General Manager Starks at
Louisville that there was no ev-
idence to show that Engineer
Joe Wickersham, Lebanon
Junction man, Intentionally caus-
ed the engine to exhaust its resi-
due of steam and sooty schlding
water out Of the stack just as
three guards passed.
Two guards went on to report
the incident, but the third, who
later was discharged, took up
the matter OH his own account.
Accounts of the affair differ, it at
first having been reported that
the armed guard chased the fire
man and engineer into the east
yard office, where they took ref
uge. Their report to Louisville
was that they pushed the guard
out of the cab and took him to
the superintendent's office.

LABOR DAY SEES
Big STRUGGLE ON
State Labor Inspector Gives Sum
mary of Situation 1oday
AS He Sees 1t
(By Associated Pressl

(By Associated Press)
Louisville, Ky, Sept. 4 That
this Labor Day ushers in cru
cial test for organized labor due
to the shopmeEs strike was the
belief expressed here today by
Pat Fllburn, State Inspector OF
Labor.
The most powerful labor or
ganization and til2 most power
full combination OF employers the
United States has ever known are
engaged in a struggle which
means the existence or non-ex-
istence of organized labor as a
force in contributing the living
and working conditions Of the
people of this country" Mr.. Fill
burn said.
ct may be disguised under the
terms of seniority or wages or
any other name, but the whole
sum and substance of the present
struggle is that it is for the ex-
istence of labor as an organized
and active body protecting the
rights OF its members to live de
Gently and live under decent con-
ditions and indirectly protecting
the great body Of unorganized Ia
Dor through the force of its ex-
ample"
Despite the industrial disturb
ances the state labor Inspector
for working men during the COM
ing year are unusually bright.
Il believe" he said. that this
country is preparing to enter up
on the greatest industrial boom
in its history and if the forces at
the head of the workers and the
employers can get together and
remember that every man is his
brother we will see this great
country OF ours advancing far be
yond anything we could imagine
from our past experiences"
The business of the country.
Mr.. Filburn continued, is picking
up in spite of its breakdown. At
present the labor office is able to
place in some kind of work any
man who is able and willing to do
manual labor. There is a demand
especially for female labor, Mr..
Filburn said, practically all fac
tories having a shortage Of this
class of labor at the present time.
In the last four weeks a large
number of men have been shipped
to Pennsylvania and Ohio and
there have been many inquiries,
Mr.. Filburn said, from cites as
far as Michigan. All of these in
quiries indicated shortage Of
mechanics in almost all lines.
This, Mr.. Filburn believes, is 4
practical demonstrat on that the
industrial trouble settled there
would be a shortage Of labor III
practically every line.
Action of the United States
Steel Corporation in raising the
wages of its workers 20 per ceat
is taken by the labor Inspector as
an indication that the concern
forsees a shortage of labor in the
near future and is making pre-
parations to meet it.
Restricted immigration is linn
iting the number of available for
eisn laborers in the United States
and is creating a demand for
American labor, according to Mr..
Filburn.
The prospects for labor during
the coming year." Mr.. Filburn
concluded, are the best I've seen
and | have been connected with
the labor question since 1890"

PIERCY'S APPEAL
STILL IN COURT
States Highest Legsl Tribunal
Begins Work Again Sept. l8
Madison Cases On File

its fall term on Monday, Septem-
Der Is, with the largest criminal
docket in its history. There are
III criminal appeals; most OF
them growing out of the prohibi-
ton act from the right to give
away a drink, which is a criminal
offense under the act, to the right
of freedom from search and seiz-
ure.
The civil dockets consists of
357 appeals, in which the usual
run of legal questions are involv-
ed. Among those are the cases
of Orie S. Ware, commonwealth 5
attorney, Kenton county, vs..
Sperry and Hutchinson Company
and Thos. NJ. King VS.. Common
wealth, from Jefferson county,
which will be of general interest.
The purpose of the Ware vs..
Sperry and Hutchinson case is to
test the legality of the Ant
Trading Stamp Act which passed
the last legislature after very
bitter and hotly contested fight
in which a large lobby was very
active-and it is rumored, much
money. Similar acts making the
issuing Of trading stamps illegal
have been declared unconstitu-
tional in several other states. The
intent of the King vs.. Common
wealth case is to test the Consti~
tutionality Of the Blue Sky Law
and to get a ruling as to Whethe9
or not it applies to common law
trusts in the event it is held td be
constitutional.
If the Anti-Trading Stamp Act
and the Simmons-St Strange Roa
Act are declared unconstitution-
al all the major acts Of the L
legislature will have been throw
QUIT generally takes the cour'
about a year to straighten out
legislative tangles and blunders

paign, with the republican nom
mess supporting the original
$50,0O0,000 road bond roject and
the democratic nominee backing
up the stand of the democratic
legislature in killing the road
building project.
Roy B. Speck. Clerk of the
Court of Appeals, has given to
the State Printer the copy for the
