NEW PAY S[ASHE:S
OPPOSED BY UNION

solicitations.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, october 8.-Opposition to
| further wage cuts and to railroad con-
solidations was voted today by the
| International Brotherhood of Railway
and Steamship Clerks concluding a
tour-day session here.
The conference, representing It's, 1000
brotherhood members, Endorsed pro-
posed legislation designed to bring COM
peting transportation agencies under
the same regulations as are applied TO

The delegates also voted approval to
unemployment insurance, Federal work.

sions for railway employees and legiSla-
ton which would provide relief to un-
employed heads Of families by making
available to them Government loans up
to $500 each.
George M. Harrison, president of the
brotherhood, issued a statement con-
corning railroad consultations, which
said:
Railway consolidation proposals
which have given no thought whatever
to the suffering imposed upon railway
employees were strongly condemned by
the brotherhood, and a program en-
phasizing the dangers Of forcing more
workers out of employment was
adopted. Congress will be urged to
pass legislation blocking railway con-
solidations until such time as adequate
consideration is given to the desperate
condition of railway employees, and
proper safeguards can be adopted to
alleviate the hardships imposed upon
the railway men in the proposed
mergers"

CONVICT BRUISED
ALL OVER, TW0SAy
Undertakers Testify MaiIIe.
fert Could Not Have Received
Marks Trying to Flee.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, October g.
Testimony that bruises, which could not
have been suffered in attempts to es-
cape, covered the body Of Arthur Mail
lefert, young New Jersey convict, after
he was found strangled to death in a
sweat box at a prison camp near here
last June was given by undertakers to-
day in the murder trial Of two former
convict guards.
The testimony followed that of pris-
oners who said yesterday that the body
bore the marks of whippings, and that
camp officials hastily dressed the corpse
to cover up bruises.
Whipping is illegal in Florida prisons.
Judge George c. Gibbs ruled out the
testimony that Maillefert had been
whipped, but permitted to stand a
statement that Solomon Higgienbotham,
one of the defendants, donated a shirt
to dress the body because he was "anx-
1ous" to cover the bruises.
County Detective Testifies.
George Courson, acting captain at
the camp when Maillefert died, is the
other defendant A number of wit
neSses have named him as the man who
placed a chain around Maillefert's neck
and attached it to rafter of the sweat
box in which the defense contends
Maillefert deliberately hanged himself.
The undertakers, E. c. Long and w.
G. Wisner, went on the stand after
w. H. Gasque, county detective. Gasque
testified he found Courson reticent
about details of the convict's death. He
related how TRUSTEES, with guards IN
constant attendance. told Courson had
been good to Maillefert." He said
that, "as far as I know" Courson made
no effort to deceive him during his In
vestigation.
The undertakers described Maillefert
as "a fine physical specimen"
Long described bruises on Mailleferts S
neck and said "puckering' at the
hand and stuck out the thickness of my
finger at the highest point"
The county detective said that when
he learned of Maillefert's death he
went to the camp and was met by
Courson, who handed him a piece OF
paper on which was written the state
ment that Judge Youngblood, justice OF
the peace in South Jacksonville, had
held no inquest was necessary.
Not Told About Stocks.
He said all Courson told him at first
was that the boy had committed sui
eide by hanging himself. He said he
was told nothing about the stocks or
about the barrel.
Buddy" Pickett, convict, testified
Maillefert had been in the sweat box
only about an hour, and only about
half that time with the door closed,
when he was taken out, dead.
Pickett said he and number of other
convicts were removed from the camp
to the main prison farm at Raiford
because we wouldn't sign a petition"
He said the reason for his removal was
told to him by Capt. Baker" The
capt. Baker" was not identified, nor
was the nature of the petition brought
out. John F. Baker was the regular
captain at the camp. Most of his tes-
timony was repetition of the stories
told by other prisoner witnesses.
When he left the stand court was
recessed until Monday.
