DELAWAREAN HAS EXPERIENCE
Capt. S. Leroy Layton, of FrankfOrd,
Among Those Stranded in Desert


Captain S. Leroy Layton, formerly
of Frankford, this State, was among
those who were recently stranded at
Las Vegas, New Mexico, when train
men deserted a Sante Fe express,
bound for Los Angeles. Captain Lay
ton, who is a representative of an oil
company in Los Angeles, has COM
municated with persons in Philadel-
phia about the plight of himself and
Philadelphians. "We don't know when
we will get out of here, and we are
afraid that there will be bloodshed if
the trains are operated" wired Lay
ton, who was a Red Cross representa-
tive in Paris during the war. The
passengers are suffering no hardships,
according to Layton except the dis
comfort of being delayed on their trip.
He said the railroad is feeding them,
while the Chamber of Commerce of
East Las Vegas is providing enter
tainment. "While the Rev. Robert A.
Torrey, an evangelist, was addressing
the passengers" said Layton, we
heard that a Mrs. Jinney, travelling
with several children, had no funds
Her money was exhausted. She had
started with only sufficient sum tc
provide for her meals on the train il
it reached Los Angeles on time
"With DIR. Torrey urging iberality
the hat was passed around and S4l
in bills and coins were collected fol
her. She fell on her knees and thank
ed us. The woman and her children
had gone without food day, una
ware that the railroad was caring TO
the passengers without expense"

NON-UN|ON MEN IN
COAST LINE SHOPS
Several Have Been Sent to
Brunswick by Railroad Com
pany But No Trouble Has Re-
suited.

Up to the present Brunswick has ex-
perienced no Inconvenience from the
shopmen's strike or the coal strike
and, while this may be expected a
little later on sin the way of irregular
schedules, there certainly has been
nothing out of the ordinary in passen-
ger and freight movements in and out
of the city.
To its shop here the Atlantic Coast
Line has sent several mechanics and
the fact that none of the. union shop
men, now on a strike. have molested
the non-union workers. speaks well for
the former employees of the railroad
companies. Most of the men who
obeyed the strike order have lived in
Brunswick many years, in fact, some
were born and spent all of their lives
in the city and they are held in high
esteem by citizens generally and more
so now that they have not interferred
with the men who are filling their
places, as is the case in many cities
and towns through which the Coast
Line traverses and maintains shops.
The union men here seem to have per-
feet confidence in the ability of their
officials to bring about a settlement
and, in the meantime, those brought
here are sticking to their jobs and en-
deavoring to perform the duties form
erly performed by the union men to
the best of their skill and ability.
