STEEL MILLS
WARNED BY
WAGNER
Labor Board to Seek Court Aid
In Fight for Union Right
Under NRA Agreement

Text of the telegram in which
Senator Robert F. Wagner, chair
man of the National Labor Board,
declared he was going to direct
court action against the National
Steel Company, was made public
today.
He sent the telegram to E. T.
Weir, president of the company
which operates plants in West
Virginia and lower Ohio.
Interference Charged
The text read as follows:
"InaSmuch as you have re-
fused to permit our representa-
tives to conduct the elections
under the rules of the National
Labor Board and in accordance
with agreement signed by you
and have in addition interfered
with the choice Of representa-
tives Of your employees in viO-
lation of Section 7 Of the
MIRA, the board will therefore
proceed to take such action as
it may be advised to enforce
the agreement and the rights
of the employees"
Wagner sent the telegram late
last night after a long conference
with NRA legal experts and other
members of the National Labor
Board.
The board and the legal experts
went into another session early
today to determine the sort of
action to be taken.
Agreement Repudiated
Wagner repeatedly has stated
that the board is cloaked with
all the authority of the President
and all the authority of the re.
covery act. He has stated it can
bring action which could cause
the imposition of all the penalties
authorized by the act.
The board ordered an election
to be held at the plants of the
steel, company tomorrow, but,
through the Vaccinations of a
company union, the company re,
pudiated an agreement to abide
by Labor Board regulations for
the elections, and threatened to
prevent the boards supervisors
from going on company property
on the election day.
Board representatives reported
on their predicament yesterday
while the company union pro-
ceeded with plans to run the elec'
ton in its own fashion.
Wagner and the board are
faced with the necessity of prov
ing at last that the board, as
created by the President, is not
an impotent unit of the NRA
and that its chairman has not

Defendant in Town Day OF
Crime, Jury Told; Stolen
Watch important Clue
BY Times Staff Correspondent

LEESBURG, Va, Dec. 14.-At-
tempting to break down any alibt
defense which may be offered, the
State today placed 16 witnesses
on the stand who testified
they saw George Crawford,
colored, in or around Middleburg
about the time Mrs. Agnes Boeing
Ilsley, wealthy society woman, and
her maid, Mrs. Nina Buckner, were
slain. The killing occurred JAM
uary 13, 1882.
Seven men testified to seeing
Crawford in Middleburg the day
before the murder. They were
Lurrel Parks. Earl Carly, and Will
Hall. white. and Joe Hill, General
jackson, Max BuSchard, and Eli.
jah Gray, colored. The last three
said they saw Crawford with an
other colored man near the Ilsley
home about four p. m. the day OF
the murder.
AIibi To Be Defense
Crawford's chief defense, it was
understood, rests on the testimony
of a number of witnesses who
claim he was in Boston at the
time the two women were battered
to death, almost two years ago.
The first witness today was
Buck Bland. colored horseman on
the estate of j. T. Skinner at Mid
dleburg. He testified that Craw.
ford spent Christmas Day there
and that Berda deNeal, his sweet
heart, came and visited him that
day.
w. C. Pearson, former State
prison camp guard, who operates
a filling station at GAINESVILLE, IL
miles from Middleburg, next tes-
titled that he saw Crawford
walking along the highway on
December %.
Lemuel Gray, farmer. then tes.
titled that he picked Crawford
up along the road and drove him
to Richmond that same day.
Continuing to draw the net Of
evidence around the defendant,
Pat Harrison, colored. of Rich
mond, testified that Crawford ar.
rived at his home December %
and stayed about a week.
Defendant Used Alias
A few days after Crawford
left, he said, a letter came ad.
dressed to Charles Smith" The
State contends this is an alias
used by Crawford.
The letter was one Crawford
had been expecting, Harrison said,
and told his host to watch for it.
The letter was from Berda de
Neal, and was read to the jury.
It merely told how she missed
him.
E. w. M. Costs, watchman at
a coal yard just over Highway
Bridge, identified Crawford as
one of two colored men who
abandoned a car early on the
morning of January 13, a few
hours after the killing. This car,
later testimony will show, was
the car stolen from the Ilsley
home.
Herman Butler, Of Middleburg,
testified he saw Crawford there
on January 4 or 5.
C. A. Coleman, Lynchburg po.
liceman, testified that Crawford

By International News Service

"Whisky trust" is in existence

trolled by foreign interests, Har

serted at the joint liquor hearing

"The whisky business in the

A warning that prohibition may

He said:
"Before the Celler medicinal
