TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO KINGS NOUN
TAIN, S. c., october President
Hoover showed no i'll effects today from
the ordeal he faced yesterday in Boston
when he d ivered two set speeches, in
dulged in handshaking by the wholesale
and attended p luncheon in his honor
attended by more than 500 people.
When his train stopped at Danville,
Va. at $3.50 this morning Mr.. Hoover
went to the rear platform in response
to the handclapping of a, hundred or
more persons who had gathered about
the rear of the train. After bowling
acknowledgement of the friendly greet
ing the President asked how things were
in that section. Most of the men were
railroad workers. Several in the crowd
In response to his question said that
the textile strike in that section had
worked hardship along with other
unemployment and that the long
drought had caused much inconven-
fence and suffering.
Travel Agrees With Him.
The President replied that he was
sorry to hear that He said also that
It was unfortunate that hardships must
be caused because employers and work
ers would not agree. He expressed the
hope that everything would turn out
all right
Sleeping two nights on the train
along with the long ride itself seems
10 have agreed with the President.
From his long years of experience as a
traveller Mr.. Hoover has learned how
to rest and relax on a train. This
training of lifetime has served him
well on this trip.
When he concluded his second ad-
dress In Boston yesterday, which was
before the convention of the American
Federation of Labor, he seemed greatly
relieved. His voice was low and trifle
husky during the last few minutes of
his speech and he looked pale and
tired. When the cheering subsidized he
quickly paid his respects to President
Green of the federation and lost no
time getting back to his waiting train
to start South.
The train pulled out a few minutes
later, and by that time he was reposing
In deep-cushioned easy chair in the
observation compartment Of his private
car. He gave only casual notice to the
latest editions Of newspapers brought to
him. He seemed TO prefer quiet
Appears Refreshed.
His chair was arranged so that he
could look out on the passing scenery.
He remained alone in that state until
darkness began to fall and he received
reminder that it was time to prepare
for dinner. He had dosed of several
times during that restful period
Already he seemed somewhat re-
freshed. For the first time he has been
travelling on trains since becoming Pres
tdent. Mr.. Hoover last night ate in
the regular dining car-the one in
which all the other members of his
party eat. He and Mrs. Hoover ate at a
table by themselves, probably the first
time they have had that experience for
long time. Mr.. Hoover seemed TO en-
Joy the broiled Holsters which had been
sent to him by friend, and within two
hours after this meal he retired for
the night.
The Presidents train Is scheduled To
arrive at the Kings Mountain Station
in North Carolina at ! o'clock this aft
ernoon. With Mrs. Hoover at his side
he will then be driven in a motor car
