Series Of Pro-Cuild Maneuyers Bring
Sharp Word Tits In NLRB Hearing
On Charges Against Hearst Papers
Heated Verbal Clashes Occur in Hearings Against Hearst
Papers-Lawyers in Tilt With Attorney for NLRB;
Guild Members Stumble Badly in Their Testimony

Nevertheless, Henry w. Schmidt,
the trial examiner, ruled in favor of
Mr. Meyers, the guild attorney.
At another point Mr.. Woods made
a heated demand to strike the tes
timony of number of guildsmen who
were witnesses for the N. l.. R. B. The
witnesses had been giving rambling,
evasive answers to questions. Their
memories were very faulty on impor-
tant points.
Disregard of Truth Alleged
Mr.. Shenkin, attorney for the N. L.
R. B., admonished Mr.. Woods to cease
his "histrionic efforts"
Mr.. Woods snapped back:
sThere would be no need for heat
if your witnesses would make an eff
fort to tell the TRUTH
Herbert ~ Shenkin, attorney for
the National Labor Relations Board,
called several members of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Guild to the stand in
an effort to prove that the Chicago
Editorial Association and the News
paper Commercial Associates, the lat
ter two being A. F. of L. affliates,
were organized on company time and
with company approval.
Guild Testimony Weak
1t was this effort by Mr.. Shenkin,
the constant butting in of Ben Meyers,
the guild attorney, and the rulings of
Henry w. Schmidt, the examiner,
which created all the ruckus.
The guild members stumbled around
badly in their testimony, and wound
up, upon cross examination, by testi-
flying that they themselves had been
solicited and had joined the American
Newspaper Guild upon company time
and without company interference.

ATTEMPT MADE TO
ENTER NEESE HOME:
H. M. Lilly, .WPA Manager
Here, Under $500 Bond
Pending Inquiry

An attempt, was made last night to
enter the parsonage of the Congrega-
tional- Christian church on Rowland
street, adjoining the church, and oc-
cupied by the pastor, Rev. j. Evefette
Neese, and his family, and police took
into custody for investigation H. M.
I.illv. manager of the WPA offices
here. A technical charge of forcible
trespass was entered against Lilly
on the police blotter, and he was al
lowed bail in the sum of $500 early
today pending investigation.
Rev. Mr.. Neese was away, having
been out of the city much of the
week, but Herbert Payne, brother OF
Mrs. Neese, who is staying with the
family, fired on the would-be- burglar,
frightening him away after efforts
were said to have been made to gain
entrance to the house at three diff
ferent windows. Police were called
and made a thorough search of the
premises but found no one.
Mrs. Neese and her brother sat Oh
the porch for a short time after the
incident, which was around 11:15 p.
M, and in half an hour man,
thought to have been the same per-
son who was there before, was seen
between the house and the church,
according to Mrs. Neese. Payne
started after the man, blocking his
escape toward the street, and he is
said to have run through the back
lot and escaped. He made no effort to
enter the house the second time, it
was said.
An automobile parked a short dis
lance above the church was said to
have been Lilly's. Officers later
found him asleep in an automobile
at the home of Mrs. A. ]. Harris,
across the high school athletic field
from the Neese home.
No charges have been preferred
other than the technical charge Of
"forcible trespass." Officers, mean
time, are investigating the affair.
Lilly has been in charge of the
WPA office here for the past several
months. He is man apparently in
his middle twenties.

R. c. HARRISON SUED
BY MRS. B. A. SCOTT
$4,000 Sought for Alleged
False and Defamatory
Statement

Suit for $4,000 damages was filed in
Vance Superior Court this afternoon
by Mrs. Mae Bridges Scott, wife OF
B. A. Scott, principal of Dabney high
school for the past ten years, against
r. c. Harrison, chairman of the
Vance County Board of Education
alleging untrue and false state
ments about her character.

was principal of the public schools
in Northampton county," she was
forbidden by the authorities in charge

Rod of six months"
The complaint further states that
when MI. Scott came up for re-elec-
ton as principal of the Dabney high
school after serving there for ten
years he was not reelected by the
county board, and that Mr.. Harrison
publicly stating upon the streets in
Henderson and in Vance county to
more than one person that the rea-
son he was not re-electing Mr.. B. A.
Scott was due to the character and
reputation of his wife" as the result
of the alleged ruling barring her
from the school grounds at Jackson.
1t was also alleged in the complaint
that Mr.. Harrison's statements were
made "in willful, wanton and mali
cious manner"
Mr.. Scott said today he had been
recommended for reelection by the
district school board of Dabney, but
that the election had been held up by
the county school board. Mr.. Harri-
son is executive vice-president of the
First National Bank in Henderson,
an office he has held for the past five
years or more.

he was a powerful preacher. A
young man from a distance led in

Jim Henry Hart, at the home of
Cap'n. Henry Hart. And at both
those places I also had a most pleas

some years ago, and now lives six

Very little physical equipment will
be provided from this fund, however.
as WPA money goes chiefly toward
providing jobs for relief purposes.
Included in the $37 500 allotment to
the city and county are funds for
erecting bleachers at the athletic field
of the Henderson high school and
also draining the field. Some of the
money will also go toward improv-
ing the premises of rural schools, and
at the high school here shrubbery is
also included to be set on the front
and sides of the building.
The Kings Daughters park was
accepted by the city several years ago
when it was offered by the Kings
Daughters organization here, on con-
dition that the city assume a $500
mortgage on the property. Little has
been done toward it's real develop
ment, however, until now.
