ON
HIGHWAY
is FATAL
w. H. Mccoy Dies Follow
ing Fist Battle With A.
l.. Shelton.
LATTER IS ARRESTED
Officers Seeking To Get
Further Information On
Cause Of Trouble.

Climaxing a fist fight on a
country highway four and half
miles north and a half mile east
Of Holtville this morning, the body
OF w. H. Bill" Mccoy so, is in
Lemons undertaking parlors In Ell
Centro, while A. l.. Hendrix, 54. Is
In the county Jail facing charge
OF manslaughter.
Held as witnesses after the slay-
ing were Mary Treiner, 40, and
Luther Shelton, 36, who, with other
witnesses, were being questioned
at press time by Tom Sharp, in
vestigator for the district attorney.
Hendrix admitted after his ar
rest, and while being questioned by
Sharp in the Holtville city hall,
that Mccoy died probably as a re.
suit of a blow from his fist.
Undersheriff Rodney Clarke had
ordered a canal by the roadside
drained in serch for some weapon
with which Hendrix might have
struck Mccoy. The only bruise
noticeable on McCoy's body was an.
abrasion between his eyes, which
might have been made by some
sharp instrument.
In his statement to Sharp this
morning, Hendrix refused to di-
vulge the reason for the fight
which ended in McCoy's death. He
was to be questioned again this
afternoon in relation to this aspect
of the case.
Officers advanced the theory
Mccoy and Hendrix were having
trouble over the woman, Mary
Treiner, who possibly is the only
witness to the fight. Luther
Shelton was on the scene when
Constable Peck of Holtville ar
rived, but said he had reached the
place after the fight, and after
Mccoy was dead.
Shelton and the woman were
booked at the county jail as ma
terial witnesses.
Had Previous Trouble
That Shelton and Mccoy had
trouble some time ago was dis
covered when search of records
in the county clerks office dis
closed Shelton filed suit against
Mccoy some time ago, charging
alienation of the affections of Mrs.
Shelton.
From information uncovered to-
day it appeared Mrs. Shelton di-
vorced her husband in Reno, but
he did not recognize the divorce
when he filed suit for damages.
Mrs. Shelton later married Mccoy.
In addition to this trouble off,
GERS said it was Mccoy who once
furnished information which re-
suited i'll arrest of Shelton on q
charge of possession of a still.
What connection might exist be-
tween Shelton and Hendrix was a
matter being investigated by off,
GERS today.
Shelton was employed by E. D.
Griffin to irrigate a ranch north
of Holtyille, and told officers he
was doing so when he was attracted
by the fight between Hendrix and
Mccoy.
Hendrix and witnesses in the
care were detained by Constable
Peck this morning until Under
sheriff Clarke and w. S. Keating.
deputy, arrived from the sheriff's
office to place them under arrest.
Taken to Holtville by the officers,
Hendrix was questioned by Sharp.
While refusing to tell the reason
for the fight, he said he struck
Mccoy twice, knocking him down
the second time. Mccoy started
to run to his car, Hendrix said, but
was prevented from doing so.
When it became evident Mccoy
could not stand up, Hendrix sup
ported him. walking around the
highway with him.

Organization Committee Chairman
Declares Average Pay of 80 Per
Cent in Service Under 81 500.

Formation Of lodges Of the American
Federation of Government Employees In
number Of the larger cities. as well
as in Washington, was announced yes
terday By John Arthur Shaw, chairman
Of the Organization Committee.
Since the organization was chartered
by the American Federation of Labor
two weeks ago, Shaw said, the number
of lodges has increased to 40, of which
"a are in the Capital, and many more
are in the process of formation.
Response from the field clearly IN
dicates, Shaw declared. that Govern
ment workers ARE Fastening to grasp
the opportunity to approach Congress
this Winter as members OF the labor
movement"
Larger Cities With Lodges.
Among the larger cities in which
lodges have been organized. Shaw said
are New York. Philadelphia, Boston,
Providence, Baltimore, Chicago and St.
Louis.
"The movement Is spreading vest
ward rapidly" he continued, "and we
have just received word of the forma-
ton of lodge in Cheyenne, Wyo. By
the time our first national convention is
held in the Capital about six weeks
hence, units Of the American Fedora
tion of Government Employees will be
scattered over the United States and
will include representation even out
side the continental limits Of the coun-
try.
"As the news travelled that we had
been given a place in the councils OF
organized labor. groups of Government
workers in various parts Of the coun-
try sought aff1liation with us.
This response from the field is. be-
lieve. indisputable evidence that Fed
eral employees are alert to the value OF
membership in an organization that can
offer them the effective and powerful
protective influence Of organized labor.
Federal employees cannot stand pas
sively by and allow their situation to
become steadily worse. They do not
merit the belief on the part Of some
that they are pariahs who do a large
share of draining the public treasury.
Average Salary Under sI,5oe."
statistical evidence will show that
the average salary Of 80 per cent IN
the Government service Is less than
81 500 a year for employees who must
prove their worth by examination ana
retain their positions by reritorious
service. ,..fl--., =,
For the most part, their service Is
specialized. but it Is not always per-
formed without danger to the employees
health or safety. Numerous dangerous
occupations are followed by Federal
employees. E-,.,
"It is for these and all other Federal
employees that the American Federatlon
of Government Employees Is undertaking
its fight for better conditions. And IL
intends to carry on that night wltnout

.2OAT NAVY YARD
MAY LOSE PLACES
Withdrawal of Wives From
u. S. Service Would
Save Jobs.

There have been no dismissals or
designations in Washington under the
married persons clause Of the economy
act, surrey Of nine of the ten Gov
ernment departments yesterday dis
closed.
It was revealed, however, that from
20 to IS machinists at the Navy Yard
are in danger of being dismissed in the
near future unless their wives with
draw from Government service.
The Labor Department is closed on
Saturday and definite Information was
not available there. 1t is believed,
however, there have been no separa-
tons under the married persons section.
The Departments of Agriculture, Jus
tice, Navy, Post ONCE, State and Treas
ury have had no dismissals here or in
the field under this section.
Field Workers Go.
The Commerce Department has been
obliged to release seven married field
workers. It was said there may be ad-
ditional dismissals under this section,
but that definite information will not
be available until the final effect Of
the enforced furlough of the depart
ment's budget can be determined. It
was emphasized there will be no dis
missals of married workers unless abso-
lutely necessary.
At the Interior Department officials
said there have been some designations,
and that the economy provisions re-
garding married persons may have been
incidentally involved 1t is generally
believed number Of married women
have given up their jobs so the positions
their husbands hold will not be jeops
ardized, but in designations of this
character there has been no instance
in which this was the reason given.
There have also been some dismissalS
Of civilian field employees of the War
Department, notably In New Jersey, but
officials here have no definite figures as
to the number. It was estimated, how
ever, there had been considerably fewer
than 100 such separations.
Statements Are Required.
The workers at the Navy Yard were
required some time ago to submit state
ments of their standing under the mar
ried persons act. Some wives resigned
at that time so their husbands status
would be clear. The remaining 20 to
25 said their wives were employed else
where by the Government, and so far
as is known they have not yet resigned.
Officials said 1t Is apparent that
shortage Of funds is going to necessitate
some dismissals in the near future, and
that these men will be the first to go
unless their status Is cleared in the
meantime.
