Fred Snite became the most IA

of the long journeys he has made.

has never been to the Shrine Of

Methodist Union
mot to Close
Amy Churches
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, May Is. - DR..
Francis r. Bayley, president of the
Judicial Council of the United Meth
odist Church, emphasized today no
local Methodist churches would be
forced to close or merge with other
churches because of the recent
union.
The matter of closing or merging"
the Baltimore clergyman said, lis
one for the people concerned to set
tie with the help of the local ad-
ministration."
At the same time, he made it plain
no dissenters to Methodist union
would be able to use any of the for
mer names of the branches
Methodist Episcopal, Methodist
Episcopal South, or Methodist
Protestant church.
THE rights to the old names
have not been given up in the
plan of union," he said In an inter-
view, "in adopting the name Meth
odiSt church, we did not surrender
any right, interest or title in and
to the several names"
DR.. Bayley predicted 10 or IS
years would be required to clear up
many of the complications in united
Methodism.

That was shortly before the arri-
val Of troops. Kentucky Industrial

row, a former A. F. of L. member,
slated to tell the gathering peaceful
picketing" would be permitted, but
who did not appear, said later he

ing coal in five large mines this
morning, although most operators
were getting set" to dump coal in
a day or so.
Mr.. Ward said he not had been
advised as to how many miners re-
turned to work under troops pro-
lection. although he previously said
a majority of the county's $4,000
miners were ready and willing" to
return to the pits.
Operators who employ approx
mately 1900 miners and produce
around 100000 tons of soft coal
annually in the Big Sandy Elkhorn
field met at Ashland this morning
to discuss their union contract
troubles. Another group of oper-
ators is to meet at Lexington to-
morrow.
Few women were in evidence on
the streets and downtown stores
were almost deserted except groups
of men who talked in undertenes in
the doorways.
Soldiers on duty in Harlan
County are no novelty, but the
union miners openly voiced their
resentment, saying the troops had
seen sent here Ito force us back to
work"
AS the morning progressed Harlan
became a hotbed of rumors. 1t
was impossible to walk block
without hearing one; shooting at
different mines, beatings, trouble
here and trouble there Each one

stances proved to be just another

Relative Held in Killing.
Killed was freed Bates, 80, a nom

Sheriff Chad Nolan said the victim,

A deputy sheriff told Of having shot
a young man on a main street of
the city within a block of National
Guard headquarters, when he re-
fused to submit to arrest for drunk
enness and slashed his coat with a
knife. Weak from the loss of blood
from wounds in both legs, the man
was taken to a hospital.

But Mr.. Rayburn would say only
that "in all probability" the Ways

Some congressional leaders, be-
lieved to include Senator Harrison,
have hit upon a plan which they
consider meets the suggestions of
Mr.. Roosevelt and business men.
1t calls for abandonment of the
undistributed profits tax, retention
of the capital stock and excess
profits levies, a fat 18 per cent
corporate tax, and lower rates on
corporations making $25, 900 or less.
Its proponents argue that such q
plan would produce 81 ,OOO, 900 year
more than the present system.
Another proposal, estimated to
yield about the same as at present,

profits and capital stock taxes and
substitution of a fiat Is per cent
