They Protested.

AUGUSTA, Ga. November 25.-Two
Government witnesses testified yester-
day in the murder trial of Austin Leroy
Brown, a former attendant at the
United States Veterans Hospital here,
that he kicked and beat Charles X.
Dickinson, patient, so severely a few
days before the latter died that they
protested.
Dickinson, a resident of Somerville.
Tenn, died last October g. Physicians
testifying at preliminary hearing soon
afterward attributed death to pneumonia
caused by one of his Is broken ribs
puncturing lung.
That's enough. Let him alone, for
Gods sake. You'll kill. him." Aaron
E. OFT. an attendant at the hospital,
said he told Brown as the latter
trampled Dickinson on the floor after
choking him.
"Choked With Towel"
OFT declared the patient was choked
into Inconsistencies by towel around
his neck
OFT and Walter Epps fellow attend
ant. testified Dickinson was beaten
after he suddenly attacked Brown.
Both described the patient as having
hOi l44C 1CRuldJiOll Vi ItfCot
and dangerous man in a ward reserved
for disturbed nervous cases"
Just as I came on duty the evening
| of September 28," OFT said, Dickinson,
without warning or cause. leaped from
his chair, jumped on a table and
| lunged at Brown, striking him and
drawing blood. They fell together into
| heavy chair and then onto the floor.
Dickinson came up fighting. -
Brown said Let me have him. and
I went to quiet other patients who were
in an uproar. Old employees always
handle patients who suddenly become
violent as Dickinson did. and Brown
was the senior man.
''I looked back and saw Dickinson on
the floor with towel lying over his
body and an end of the towel in
Browns hand. I saw Brown stomp
Dickinson twice. L called Brown of
and let the patient up. Later, after
Dickinson had returned to his chair.
Brown struck him lightly once or
twice and choked him a little, but
didn't put him out"
Omitted Details in Report.
Epps denied he saw Brown choke the
patient into Inconsistencies or that he
kicked and trampled him, but OFT tes-
! titled later that Brown inflicted such
punishment on Dickinson.
Walter Pierce of defense counsel
elected the statement from Epps that
Dickinson was never known to hit a
patient, but was always jumping on att
tendants"
He told me once he believed II he
killed an attendant they would let him
go home" Epps continued Another
time ne developed a notion that If he
quit eating, he could go home"
OFT testified that several days after
the encounter, he reported it to his su-
periors IN part, but omitted most de-
tails of the fight.

The A. F. of L. convention, mean
while, instructed its officers to make
plans Immediately to unioniZe all en-
ployes of chain stores.
The action, the first taken by the
convention in shaping its policies for
the coming year, followed a report by
the committee on organization, headed
by Michael Duffy OF Indianapolis.
Sponsored by the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workers Of North
America, and a delegation from the Hod
Carriers and Common Laborers' Union
the resolution said the "laboring classes
derive no benefit" from what is called
mammoth organization" ~of chain
stores, and asserted belief that the cur
rent economic depression was in part
the result of growth of such combina-
tions.
Hotel Unions Favored.
The federation also expressed ap-
proval of proposals that laundry and
hotel workers be drawn into labor
unions, and urged all its affiliates to re-
fuse to meet in hotels whose employees
are not members of union.
The convention rejected proposal
that food department, associating all
unions dealing with food preparation
and handling, be formed within the
federation. The organization now has
its unions classified under divisions OF
metal workers, building trades, rail-
roads and label trades.
Efforts of women to obtain a seat in
the convention for their Federation OF
Trade Union Auxiliaries lost when the
convention referred their petition to
the Executive Council, for action next
year If that group SO recommends.
The resolution proposing unioniZatior
of chain store workers said: Both ma
tional and local chain stores have fol
the past several years been monopoliZ-
ing in all territories from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from Canada to the
Gulf of Mexico" and that "investiga-
ton has disclosed that lack of organiZa.
