Looking
Backward
(From an old clipping)
By Frank Monroe Beverly

BY Frank Monroe beverly
Freezing, Dec. II. - Thirty
three years ago, that is to say IN
1892 five persons w ere murder
ed near Pound Gap, noted pass
in the Cumberlands in their ex-
tension through Wise county.
At that time the news could
not be transmitted by wire or
communicated by telephone Tor
the lack of these conveniences,
consequently it was some days
before the story of the horrible
affair was told to the outside
world. But when accounts Of the
tragedy reached the newspapers
the case gained almost nation
wide publicity.
The affair was discussed gen.
orally throughout the section
where the crime was committed
and speculation was rife as to
who the perpetrators of the das-
tardly act could be and the pos
sible motive.
Ira Mullins, his wife and son,
Wilson Mullins, and others whose
names are not recalled left Elk
horn Creek in Kentucky one morn
ing in May on their way to
Pound in Wise county, travelling
by wagon. On their way they fell
in with two or three others
mounted On horseback.
They passed through the gap
and at point about quarter of
mile down the mountain on the
Virginia side they were fired up
on from ambush, the perpetra-
tors being ensconed behind sort
of a wall of rock with port holes,
which they had thrown up, evil
IDENTIFY knowing that the party
would pass that way.
Ira Mullins, his wife, Wilson
Mullins, the driver and one of
the chance companions of the
party, young man were killed.
The other members of the party
escaped by flight.
The first intelligence of the
horrible affair was given by two
women living farther down the
mountain, who heard the report
Of guns, and suspecting some
thing unusual, started up the
road to ascertain the meaning of
the disturbance.
They had proceeded no great
distance when they met a loose
horse with saddle and bride on.
The animal appeared to be in
state of great fright. They pro-
eeeded on some distance, where
a CHASTITY scene met their eyes.

JOB BIAS" In Rail union PACT
PRESENTED To SUPREME COURT
Pact Could Bar Catholics,
1evs And Men Six Feet
Tall, Says Chas. Houston

WASHINGTON = Tom Tun-
stall and Bester William Steele,
Negro locomotive firemen in two
southern railroads, appeared
through counsel today and ar
gued that, while the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and En-.
ginemen represented all the fire,
men on the two systems as ex-
elusive bargaining agents, it bar
bed Negroes and even made agree
ments with the carriers that re-
suited in demotion and unemploy'
ment for Negro firemen.
Supporting this plea, the Fed
eral Government, through Char
les Fahy, Solicitor General, and
Robert l.. Stern, special assistant
to the Attorney General and the
National Labor Relations Board
interviewed as friends of the
court" In a joint brief, Mr.. Fahy
and Mr. Stern argued that since
the union excluded Negroes from
membership, it was obviously not
acting in good faith as the rep
resentative of the entire craft. >
The two firemen requested a
deelaratory judgment that the un-
ion represent all employees fair
ly, that an injunction be issued
against enforcement of the UNI.
ion agreement with the carriers
and that the petitioners be re-
stored to their positions.
Charles H. Houston, attorney
for the two firemen, maintained
that under the principle of major
ity rule the majority could not
use tie Government to exploit the
minority.
However, he said, the union,
acting for the entire class or
craft of firemen under the provi-
sions of The Railway Labor Act,
had. on February rs, 1941, made
an agreement with a group of
Southern roads that not more than
so per cent Of the firemen in
any seniority district should be
non promotable."
Negroes, ! G added, were desi-
grated as 'non-promotable' and
this meant that the places OF the
Negro firemen despite long sem

The justices expressed live

could "bar Catholics, Jews and six

RuSSia.S False Charge
Against Vatican

and desPet, to speak for liberty and der1oc~
racy as Stain presumed TO speak when he
allowed his serville Iztestia to declare:
1.-The Vatican has now changed its course
and breaches impartial love to all people, but
the fact remains that in the great historic
battle of freedom loving people against the
c1rrmy of mankind, the vatican has adopted
an attitude of direct support of fascism."
The term fascism has never been defined
except> by Communists" Monsignor Sheen
said. by it, they mean anything that is anti
Communist.
"As matter of fact, there are no essen
tal differences in theology between commu-
nism, fascism and nazism ALL THREE
ABSORB THE INDIVIDUAL INTO COL
LECTIVITY THE COLLECTIVELY OF
THE CLASS; THE COLLECTIVELY OF
THE NATION AND THE COLLECTIVELY
OF THE RACE; WITH VIOLENCE ASSO-
GATED WITH ALL THREE.
"Fascism is really communism in its
dotage That is, communism hampered or
distorted in some way by its contact with
western civilization. COMMUNISM Is FAS-
CISM IN ITS ASIATIC FORM"
AHONSIGNOR SHEEN is right, and his
lVl timely warning should open the eyes of
the millions in the United States and United
Nations whom Soviet propaganda seeks to
blind.
With the selfsame oriental wies and
contempt for decency by which he tricked
and butchered a mighty nation into submits
sion, Stain is now setting the stage-or
rigging the gallows-for another master
stroke.
He has struck at the politics of war
partner by accusing Britain of negotiating
with Germany.
He has aimed an equally dastardy blow
at the Vatican, universal champion of honor
and integrity among nations.
Next may come Stains own independent
treaty Of friendship and collaboration with
Germany, for has he not said on many occa-
sions that he was not opposed TO the German
military staff, but only opposed to Hitler?
Perhaps, in the words of Monsignor
Sheen, the Allies. therefore had better pre-
pare themselves for Russas making sep
arate peace with German fasesm as soon as
Hitler is overthrowu,'
