EATON FOR CAR THEFT
(Special to The Palladium)


EATON, O., March 27.-Andy Reed,
81, of near Irvine, KY, is held in the
county jail here in default of $1,000
bond on a charge OF driving away and
concealing a stolen automobile. He
was bound over to the grand jury

tomobile stealing ring and who, along
with J. G.. Connell of Camden, is said
to have confessed to stealing score
or more automobiles.

gained information from a source he
regards as reliable that leads him to
believe Reed knows something about
the killing of Bob Marshall game war
den, Camden, who was shot from en-
bush and killed instantly January 2S,
last. on the Ernie Line farm near
Camden. Reed is said to be distantly
related to the wife of Eli Benton, al
legged slayer of Marshall, who escaped
after the murder and has not been
captured. He is now suspected by
police of probably having assisted Ben
ton in his getaway Benton is under
indictment for first degree murder.

Labor Members Of Anthra-

Return to New York to Re-
new Negotiations.
MEETING OPERATORS
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK. March 27- Labor
members of the anthracite arbitration
committee returned from Cleveland
today to renew negotiations with the
operators in an effort to avert the
strike called for next Saturday night.
Both operators and miners express
ed desire to end the general discus
sions which marked the opening days
of the conference last week, and to
confine future sessions to considera
ton of the 19 demands of the workers.
Demanding a 20 per cent increase in
wages, the miners say they are pre-
pared to demonstrate that wages in
the mines failed to keep pace with
wages in other industries during the
war; that the total increase has been
only 65 per cent since 1915; that the
mine operator is making an excessive
profit by underpaying his labor AID
overcharging the consumer, and that
the mines could continue to show a
reasonable profit to the operator after
granting both an increase in wage;
and a reduction of prices.
To Tell Percentage.
The operators indicated that today.
a new contract was undertaken, they
would make known the percentage of
wage cuts they advocate in counter
proposals to the 19 demands of the
miners Asserting that they will net
consider a wage increase the opera
