I HALL GAINS BEST
STORIES FROM BIBLE
Noted Author Finds Much Mate
terial For Widely Stories
In Book of Books

Owing to the great revival of BIZ
BILE reading which is spreading over
the world, the ideas of many eminent
writer's have been collected, and the
following expressions of Hall Game
as to the Bible is like a great tribute
or acknowledgement of deep debt.
Il think l know my Bible as few
literary men know it. There is no
book in the world like ii, and the
finest novels ever written fall far
short in interest of any one of the
stories it tells. Whatever strong sit
uations | have in my books are not of
my creation, but are taken from the
Bible. The Deemster is story Of
the Prodigal Son. The Bondman is
the story Of Esau and Jacob. The
ScapegoaB is the story of Eli and his
sons, but with Samuel as little girl
and The Manxman is the story of
David and Uriah."
What an added interest there must
be after or while reading a poem
or novel one is able to quickly seek
out the reference or the passage IN
another took which inspired it.
The new Big Print Red Letter Edi-
ton which is now offered for a short
time to readers Of the Times-Re-
corder on a three-coupon plan is a
marvellous acquisition at almost any
price and this way it is SO very SIM
pie. There is but one drawback at
present, the supply is ettting shar5.
The Bible coupon is found on another
page of this issue.

$50 it appeared to you that the
reception to Karn and yourself was
just about the same?
A.-With the exception-or I don't
recall that they called Mr.. Karn a
scab herder. l don't think they call
ed him a scab herder, but that they
did call that to me.
Q.-Outside of that you couldn't de-
tect any particular difference?
A-No.
(Thereupon the jury was duly ad-
monished, and a recess taken until 2
o'clock p. m.)
The Winslow mail., 1923-01-26

Q.-And when Mr. Karn was intro
duced and Mr.. Karn's name was given
and it was made known that he was a
Vice-President of the B. of L. F. and
E., was it not?
Ale was introduced first, Mr..
Rush, I believe. l am quite sure he
was introduced first as a Vice-Presi-
dent of the B. of L. F. and E.
Q.-And when Mr. Karn was intro
duced the audience applauded loud
ly, did it not?
Al don't think so.
Q.-And didn't you hear shouts all
over, and that ''he is the man for us;
we will go with him; good; he is the
man We want?
A.-Well, Mr.. Rush, there was so
much noise it may have been said and
l won't say that it wasn't said.
Q.-But when you were introduced,
they didn't talk that way about you,
anyhow, you know that?
Al know this, Mr. Rush, that we
were given to understand that we
weren't wanted there, and that they
didn't send for us, and that they want
ed to hear from the general chairman
and not any Of the Grand Lodge of
ficers.
O. am speaking not "of u.s. but
"of you"
A.-Well, that was meant generally
for the two of us.
Q.-I didn't ask what was said gem
orally, but | asked you, when you
were introduced with your title the
audience didn't applaud you and
didn't say, 1--WE will go with you," or
you are the man we want" or any
thing of that sort, did they?
Al don't know that anybody re-
ceived any hand along the lines men
! toned, that is, either Mr.. Karn or
myself
Dwell, I am asking about you
now.
A.-Yes, sir.
o. am asking you, did any such
thing as that occur when you were
introduced?
! Al don't think there was
Odd you read the letter that was
read there after the meeting was in
session, whether it was in order or
not?
A.-The 18th?
| Q.-Yes.
A-No.
Q.-Mr. Crayne read that letter, and
l mean by that, that the letter from
Mr. Hitchcock, did he not?
| A.--As I stated, think it was eth
er Mr. Crayne or Mr. Walton; but I
wouldn't be positive
Q.-And did Mr.. Crayne speak at
that time and discuss the letter, or
the statement in the letter?
Ale took exceptions to it, as did
also Mr. Walton.
Q-Possibly taking exceptions to
| it means discussing it. AS he read
the letter, I will say. Did he discuss
or talk to the audience about the
statemens or propositions the letter
contained?
A.-Yes. He spoke of it in gen
eral way, but there wasn't nothing
to it.
Odd Mr. Walton then get up
and read the letter paragraph by par
agraph, and discuss each paragraph
or talk of each paragraph as he read
it through?
Al don't know that he did, Mr..
Rush. I think he just discussed it in
general way, as did others from the
audience.
Q.-And when this discussion was
going on, didn't there man get up
in audience and say, Does that mean

CROSS EXAMINATION
Resumed by Mr.. Rush:


Q.-Mr Bannon, what division is
the next east of the Arizona Division
on the Santa Fe?
A-The next east to the Arizona
Division?
Q-Yes.
Al would be unable to say, Mr..
Rush
Q-Well, Mr.. Carr, that you spoke
of coming with you from Gallup to
Needles, is the local chairman over at
Gallp, is he?
A-Yes, he is local chairman and
a member of the General Grievance
Committee for the Coast Line System
Q-And his division upon which he
works is the division which lies east
of Gallup, is it not?
A.-That l would be unable to say
only that / know that he is a member
of the Committee that represents the
Coast Line System.
Q.-Now, speaking of the meeting
in the hall, where we stopped, isn't it
fact that the hall, the passage way
that leads from the front of that hall
up to the stage, that the floor on eth
er side of that passageway near the
rear of the hall is some five or six
feet higher than the floor of the hall
itself?
A.-You mean the platform?
Q.-No, the passageway, that it is
lower than the floor on either side,
isn't it?
A.-The passageway-or there are
seats on each side of the passageway
that 1 entered the hall and journeyed
to the stage on.
Q.-And those seats are several
feet higher than the floor of the pas
sageway, aren't they?
A-You mean in the rear?
Q-Yes.
Al believe they are.
Q.-When you got up on the stage
finally, didn't Mr. Woodbeck meet
you at the stairway leading up on the
stage, and take you by the hand and
assist you in coming up the stage and
on the stage and over to seat?
A-No, sir.
Odd anyone meet you there at
the stairway, or the steps?
A.-No, sir.
Q.-You came up alone?
Al came up alone.
Q.-At the time that this introduce
ton, was had, when some one from
the audience inquired as to who the
strangers were you were introduced
as Vice-President of the B. of R. T.
were you not?
Any name was given.
Q.-Yes, your name and
A.And it was made known that l
was Vice-President of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen.
The Winslow mail., 1923-01-26
A.Yes, sir.

A-Yes, sir
Ono. Well, Mr. Karn spoke af-
ter he had ben informed from the
floor that himself and myself were
not wanted.
Q.-At the time Crayne spoke and
Walton spoke and these others were
speaking, had you at that time
been introduced to the audience at
all?
A.-No, sir.
Q.-And as the members of your
own organization that you spoke of,
do you know whether or not, or do
you know how many of them in Nee
dies or in that meeting knew you by
sight?
A-No, l couldn't say.
Q.-Very few of them, I take it?
A-That, 1 do not know Being
one of the officers, in all probability
many of them knew me that 1 was
unable to recognize.
Q-Were you at all familiar with
Needles? Had you been there before?
Al never had been in Needles be-
fore, no.
Q.-And you say that while this
conversation went on, some others
asked who the strangers were on the
platform?
A.-Yes, sir.
Q.-And who gave the information? +?
Al am quite sure it was the man
seated to my left, who was trying, as
was able to observe it, to preside
over the meeting. He stepped over
and asked Mr.. Karn for some infor-
nation, and Mr.. Karn gave him his
name and his title, and he asked me
the same thing, and l gave him my
name and title.
Q.-Was that Mr. Wills that did
that?
Al am quite sure it was the man
I have been told was Mr.. Wills, who
was presiding over the meeting, a
dark Completed man, slender, and
dark hair.
Q.-It was the same man you refer
red to as Mr. Wills before?
A.-Yes, sir.
Q.-And then after. Mr.. Karn and
you had given the information, did he
advise the audience?
Ayes, sir.
Q.-As to who you were?
A-Yes, sir.
Odd any of them cheer?
A-They gave us to understand
that they didn't send for us and didn't
want us
Q.-Just a moment. Did any of
them cheer or applaud
A-No, sir
Q.-Not a one?
A.-No, sir.
Q.-Nobody glad to see you?
A.-They applauded on informing
the audience that they didn't need
me, and called me scab and strike
herder and ordered me to go back to
ST. Louis.
Q.-Someone in the audience spoke
that?
A-Seyeral of them.
Q-You don't mean that any one
person used all the expressions, but
came from different people in the
audience?
A.-That is the way it sounded to
me.
Q.-And with reference to Mr.. Karn
did he receive the same sort of re-
ception?
A.-WeIl, he was invited to take the
air, whatever you might term it, the
same as myself
Q.-And by different persons in the
audience?
A.-That is the way it sounded to
me.
