LABOR BOARD DEFENDS
Big WAGE REDUCTION
(By Associated Press

Chicago, June IA majority
of the members of the Federal
Railway Labor Board, who yes
terday ordered another slash
from wages of railroad workers,
today replied to the criticisms of
the minority board members.
They charged the dissenting
members presented incendiary
arguments in strained and eXag-
gerated efforts to infatne en-
ployes to strike against the de
cisions of the board. Yester-
days decision which Topped near
ly $27,000,000 from wages of
325,000 railway clerks, Signal
men and stationary hremen,
brought the total reductions ef-
fective July'lst under the boards
orders, to S135,000,0O0. Approx>
imately 100000 railway en-
ployes are affected. The MAORI
ty in response to criticism Of
the minority says a fair state
ment will convince any disinter-
ested man the wage decrease is
conservative and based upon law
and evidence.

| AGED MOTHER TRIES
TO CLEAR Her SON
Mrs. America Combs Declares
Leslie Combs Did Not Fire
First Shot at Clayhole
(By Associated Press)

Catlettsburg, KY, June IL
America Combs, mother of As
bury and Cleveland Combs, who
lost their lives in the Clayhole
election shooting last November,
was to take the stand today in
an effort to clear the name of
her son, Leslie, who is accused
of having fired the first shot in
the tragedy which caused the
death of four men and wound
ing of II. The shooting occur
red in Breathitt county and the
cases of those indicted were vef1-
ued to this court for trial.
In a statement preceding her
testimony she said 81 stood there
while they shot my baby boy
right in the heart and saw my
Oldest son fall into the arms of
my other son. Now they say he
did it and it is not so.
Several witnesses testified
that Cleveland Combs fired the
shot which killed George McIn-
tosh, one of the four men slain.
At the first shot Combs said
he ran to look between a crack
in the boards. Three women
chung to him and he could not
move, he testified. Two bullets
struck him in the chest. The
three women held him down af-
ter he was shot. He could not
get a pistol, he says, tho he
pleaded for one.
1t is predicted that the case
may go to the jury Monday.
Many Catlettsburg women came
to hear the testimony.
