Discuss Seniority
Rule on Railroads

Attacks on the seniority rule of
the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks
before the wage increase arbitration
board were answered by the union Of
ficers. John G. Weber, New York
Central Railroad vice-president, tried
to tell the arbitrators that individual
wage adjustments upward would have
been made before if the seniority rule
were imperative.
Union officers J. A. Robertson and
w. ]. Winston, chai1men of the roads
lines east and west, replied that the
brotherhood was always ready to ne
gotiate in individual cases where the
company waited to give an employee
higher pay rate for greater efficiency
or exceptional ability. Walber had
argued that when the company was
willing to pay an individual worker
more, the seniority rule enforced the
same rate for all in his grade, unless
a special status were made for him.
Arbitrator William B. Wilson,
chosen by the union, stated his belief
that the seniority rule had generally
increased the efficiency of the rank
and file.

LynChings Doubled in
America During Last
Year, Church Reports

WASHINGTON, April 8 (FP).
--Lynchings nearly doubled in
number in the United States in
1926 as compared with 1925, ac-
cording to a summary made pub
lie by the Federal Council Of Chur-
ches. While there were only, II
lynchings in 1925, there were 80
in 1926. Five states formerly on
the "honor rOlP' of commonwealth
in which no lives had been taken
by mob violence, were the scene of
deliberate mob killings. New Mex
leo was one of these. 1t had had
no lynching in the previous years.
The churches statement does
not say where the 80 lynchings of
the past year did occur, but indi-
Gated that they took place in z
states, chiefly in the south.

SapirO Took Money
From Spectators
For Potato Coop.

DETROIT, April S.--The first di-
rect evidence tending to support Henry
Ford's charges that Aaron Sapiro
tricked American farmers, was given
the jury today at the million-dollar
Ford-Sapiro libel suit in federal court.
Loans From Merchants.
Under REORGANIZATION, Sapiro adj
mitted he had obtained $4,000 in loans
for baby potato cooperative in Idaho
from Weyl and Zuckerman, Los An
geles commission merchants. The
notes, securing the loans, were made
out to Sapiro but Maurice Zuckerman,
head of the commission firm, DIS
counted them by signing the coopera-
tive kings name.
Kidding the Farmer.
Reed, defending Ford, charged that
this trickery was resorted to in order
to prevent the farmers from discover
ing that the cooperative" which was
advertised to prevent speculation, was
being financed by two well known
spectators in potatoes.
