Norfolk and Western Force,
Depleted by Strike, Unable
To Handle Mail.
By A. CLOYD Gull,
Times Staff Correspondent.

ROANOKE, Va, July 12.-One
thousand clerks in the employ OF
the Norfolk & Western railway
system have joined the striking
shopmen, it was admitted by of
ficers of the railway today. Strik-
ers stated that more than twice
this number have left their posts
in the past ten days.
Eight Hundred in Force.
The normal clerical force Of the
shops here is about 500, according to
officials.
The striking shopmen's ranks have
remained 100 per cent intact, accord
ing to strike leaders, and officials Of
the company state that this claim Is
true. The shopmen have shown no
signs of weakening, and are adamant
in their stand that none Of them will
return to work until their demands
have been granted.
This little Virginia city is about to
leap into prominence as holding the
key not only to the railroad strike.
but to the coal strike.
When approximately 1000 clerical
workers OF the Norfolk & Western
Railway walked out Tuesday in a
score OF important centers, scores of
trained workers in the local general
offices were rushed on outgoing
trains to hold key positions in the
points where not even sufficient
clerks remained to handle the United
States mails.
This system, recognized as the
leading coal carrying road of the
country, feeds nonunion coal 10 the
three Atlantic ports, Charleston. Nor
folk and New York, and also furn
ishes millions Of tons to Great Lakes
ports
The coal strike proved bonanza
to the Norfolk & Western and non
union mines in Virginia and West
Virginia, to the extent that in June
record was set when the road
dumped $4,000 tons of coal at Tide
water.

Jersey Youth, Accused Of Kill

Calm in Facing Jury.
BY International News Service.

MORRISTOWN, N. j., July IL.
The calmest person in this towns
century-old courtroom today is
Francis Kluxen, 3rd. fifteen-year-
old youth on trial for his life in
connection with the murder Of
eleven-year-old Janette Lawrence.
whose mutilated body, stabbed in
thirty places, was found beside a
log in Kuxen woods early in the
evening Of October 6. .1a.sss
Lad Is indifferent.
Court was opened with the
solemnity attached to the function
ings Of this ancient seat of Justice.
A side-door opened and a bailiff
bearing the nations colors marched
across the dais. followed by Su-
preme Court Justice Charles w.
Parker. The colors were placed
tremendously in corner.
Within the prisoners bar, with
his counsel. Elmer King, sat the
lad who faces either freedom--or
the electric chair. The court crier
calls "Oyez-Oyes--" and Francis
rises with the crowd, an expression
OF slight boredom on his unlined
face. He turns and smiles easily at
his father, who Is ashen with fear
of the unknown.
The justice takes the bench. The
crowd resumes seats. In a rather
languid manner Francis sprawls
out in his chair. He Is all non
chalance, just as any well-bred
youth might be while sitting on the
veranda Of a country club.
A prosecution witness takes the
stand. Francis listens as the same
well-bred youth might, to the bore
some recital of the latest murder
sensation. But he doesn't strain
forward to catch each word.
'Murders-such beastly bores,"
he might be saying to himself, as
he politely STILES a yawn.
This may be a case celebre to Nor
ristown, but to Francis, judging b.
his appearance Of ennui. 1t is just
one of the tiresome incidents Of life
that some young gentlemen perforce
pass through.
He Is rather good looking. Light
brown hair, neatly brushed back blue
eyes, anu d tIdt
appears to the maidens' gaze when
he turns and smiles at his nervous
father.
A girls garments, stiffened with
cold blood, Is shown to the jury.
There are rents in 1t. where the
death knife tore and stabbed. The
blood-clotted handkerchief, found
around the girls neck, Is produced,
and that one found In her tam O.
skanter.
Women Horrified
The women crowding the court
room emitted a hushed and Mortified

and unclasps his hands. But Fran
els turns and smiles. There are only

as calm as he-the justice and the
grim attorney fighting with his years
