1,200 Trainmen
Quit AT Corbin

Twelve hundred trainmen, mem
bers of the Big Four brotherhood, en-
ployed on the Cumberland division
of the Louisville and Nashville rail
road. left their trains at 10 o'clock
Monday morning.
This ties up the great Harlan and
Bell county coal districts.
The walkout was orderly.
The walkout was voted because
the trainmen claimed armed guards
at the Louisville and Nashville shops
at Corbin we're endangering their
lives.
They also claimed that they we're
being required to operate defective
equipment in violation of the law and
thus also endangering their lives.
Trainmen who walked out yester-
day morning declared that their ac-
ton was not strike. They said
they simply had refused to work I'M
til conditions were made safe.
e. F. Ford, chairman of the Corbin
local of the Brotherhood of Train
men. said that the men had been ask
ed to operate bad equipment and that
the guards at the Corbin shops had
been abusive He said that instances
of guards trying to intimidate the
union men, drawing guns on men OPP
Grating engines and trains and ours
ing them had been reported to the
union headquarters.
1.-THE men simply have quit work
until conditions are made safe for
them to work." he said. There is
no strike at all The men cannot be
expected to work when their lives
are instantly endangered by armed
guards threatening them and defec-
tive equipment"
The strike of 1000 trainmen on the
Cumberland division of the L. & N.
means a cutting off from the outside
world of virtually 100000 people in
southeastern Kentucky. OF these APP
proximately 10000 are in the great
coal fields of Harlan and Bell coun-
ties with a capacity output of APP
proximately 1000 carloads of coal a
day.
The Cumberland Valley division is
the division that Henry Ford,
through his Detroit Toledo and Iron
ton railroad recently sought to have
the l.. & N. agree to allow him to aid
in operating. 1t is this division that
serves the great United States Coal
and Coke Company operating at
Lynch, where the largest coal tipple
in the world is located the Banner
Fork mines owned by Ford and ap-
proximately ITS other mines both
large and small
The cities and towns cut OFF entire
ly from train service with the out
side world include Middlesboro, Pine
Vile, Harlan, Lynch, Barbourville
and Manchester.
Approximately forty state guards,
under command of Major James X.
Dillon, are in camp at London, the
troops home, within easy reach OF
Corbin and the coal fields. The sold
iers we're scheduled to go to Camp
Henry Knox, near Louisville, but the
plans were changed. The soldiers
have been on duty in Bell and Whit
ley counties.

This city was startled with the
news received here last Thursday
night, stating that Baird @. Salzga-
Der, of indianapolis, had killed his
wife and then committed suicide.
The rash act is supposed to have
been committed about 4:30 o'clock
that morning, but 1t was not until
$3.50 in the evening that the bodies
we're discovered. Mrs. Salzgaber
before her marriage twenty-five
years ago was Miss Wayne Upton,
Oldest daughter of Mrs. Anna Upton,
of this city She was widely known
and greatly beloved throughout this
entire section and her untimely death
has caused the entire community to
mourn with her loved ones. Finan-
cial trouble is said to have been the
cause of Mr.. Salzgaber's act.
Mrs Salzgaber had just returned
from their summer home in Michi-
gan and 1t is not thought he had in
tended to kill his wife, although he
had evidently made plans to destroy
himself, as a note was left to a bus
mess associate telling that it was
the only way out of his financial diff
ficulties as he carried $4,000 life in
surance and he directed how this
should be applied to pay his indebted
ness.
The Indianapolis story of the trag-
edy states that at an early hour in
the morning other residents Of the
apartment heard the shots, but paid
no attention to them, but when Mr..
Salzgaber failed to show up at his
office during the entire day search
was instituted and the two bodies
found in bed with shot from a pis-
toll in the head of each.
Mrs SaIzgaber's daughter, Fran
ces, aged II, who had been with her
in Michigan, did not return home
with her mtoher. but arrived in In
dianapolis few hours after she learn
ed of the death of her father and
mother.
Besides her mother and daughter,
Mrs. SaIzgaber is survived by three
sisters. Misses Fannie and Nell Tip
ton and Mrs. w. S. Darlington, and
one brother, Will r., all of this city.
The double funeral was held at
Lebanon, Indiana, Monday and was
attended by Miss Nell Upton, w. R.
Upton and Mrs. John Spear. the
other children being unable to at
tend on account of the condition of
Mrs. Upton, who has been in seri-
GUS condition for some time.
Mr. Salzgaber lived in Sthis city
for a short time, where he was con-
nected in business with l. F. Tabb.
Leaving here about 20 years ago, he
went to indianapolis where he engag-
ed in the printing and lithographing
business and had made a huge sue
cess up until the time he received

financial reverses a short time ago.
Mrs. Salzgaber was one of the
most beloved women ever reared in
Montgomery county. She was cul-
tured and refined and made friends
rapidly. She was devoted to her
home and family and at all times led
life worthy of emulation. Among
her friends here at her old home she
was exceedingly popular, and her
tragic end has caused many a heart
ache, but the memory of her lovely
character will ever linger although
life be extinct.

Being a novice in politics. an |
making no claim to the distinction of
being the seventh daughter of a sew
enth daughter, we carefully refrain
ed, before election, from the delicate
and dangerous business of prophecy
ing.
The only statement we made ap-
preaching a prediction was to the eff
feet that L. l.. Newton would, and
had, split the Republican party in
Park county, and that the State lead
ers who catered to him were being
badly advised by somebody.
Results proved it. If the tin-can
had beer tied to L. L. Newton earlier
as state committeeman, the election
in Park county would have been a
different story.
Mr.. Newton, however. was not so
reticent. In Che event hat our read
ers are not also subscribers to the
Herald we will reprint an article
which appeared in that paper in the
example of the elegance which dis
tinguishes M. Newton's editorial
style.

Democrats in Park county are as

Democrats, and konwing that that ell

into line with the Democrats in the
support of Loomis, the situation has
brought worry and alarm to Demo

Miss Lockhart is doomed to defeat.

While all this is interesting, 1t is
