ON THE ROAD TO PARIS, Aug 21.-The Hatfields and McCoys are feuding again today but not against each other as the United States patrols have reached the vicinity of the Paris outskirts of Versailles.
 They are Phillips Hatfield of Sprigg, West Virginia. and Homer Mccoy of Avondale, West Virginia.
 Both are kin of the original feud- ists but this time we have gota mad one against Hitler and are not quarreling among ourselves" said Mccoy.
 Meanwhile the Americans have picked up between Chartres and Paris a German prisoner named Goering but he claims no kinship to the Reich Marshal.

POLITICAL ACTION
APPROVED BY
LABOR COUNCIL

A regular meeting was called to
order by President Joseph Doran. The
meeting was we'll attended.
In addition to routine business Bro.
Curtis reported that he had attended
the recent meeting of farmers and
laborers at Great Falls. A permanent
organization was set up and the nee
essary committees appointed. One of
the chief aims of the organization is
to awaken citizens to their RESPONSE
bilities at election time. Citizens
must register and intelligentIy parti-
cipate in local and national elections.
And men of high character must be
willing to become candidates. Such
men should receive the encourage
ment of intelligent voters
Bro. Finnegan (postmaster) called
attention to changes in postal rates
effective April 1st and then spoke
briefly but seriously, on the Murray
Wagner, Dingell bill He urged all
support for this bill.
President Doran spoke vigorously
on the record of labor achieved dur
ing these war years, and warned that
a national service law not only would
not cure any ills, but in addition
would destroy many gains which had
been made through long and hard
struggles. He urged all labor to be
on the alert and stop early any de-
structive movement.

There have been several other lex

testify as to why they signed the peti
ton to have the crossing moved.
The attorney for the defense, placed
large number of witnesses on the
stand to testify that the proposed new
crossing was far more hazardous than
the present crossing. Much evidence
was given to prove that it would be
impossible for anyone approaching the
new railway crossing from the north
to see the advancing trains until they
were on the crossing and that it would
be impossible for the locomotive en-
gineer on train from the east to see
anyone nearing the crossing from the
north until the train would be less
than three hundred yards off the
crossing-too late to stop the train
to avoid hitting car on the cross
ing, if the train was running at So
miles or more per hour with heavy
train. Evidence was given to prov :
overpass, or an underpass at the site
of the proposed new crossing.
The defense, on short notice sum-
moned a number of those who signed
the railway petition to have a cross
ing moved. Mr. Faqua, local man
ager of the Mountain States Tele-
phone Company was one of the petit
TONERS subpoenaed by the defense
and on the witness stand testified
that he knew little about the new
crossing On further questioning he
stated that a representative of the
railroad, naming the party, brought
the petition to him asking him to sign
it and he did. The defense believing
that they had sufficient evidence to
prove their contention, did not wait
for the other petitioners to reach the
court. The defense had a large num-
Der of witnesses, some of whom were
not cross-examined by either the
county attorney, or the attorney for
the railways petitioners. The de-
tense built up strong case against
the crossing. On the other hand, the
attorney, representing those who
signed the railroads petition and the
county attorney, presented few wit
nesses and little evidence and APP
peared bored all through the hearing
During the trial, a county commits
sioner was placed on the witness
stand by the defense and on being
questioned, stated that the county pay
for the right-of-way and the railroad
would build the road, which would be
about three quarters of mile long
TIL a large fill
Some arguments were made az the
end of the trial and before the attur-
ney for the defense could request time
to submit brief, Judge McHugh pro-
nounced judgment in favor of the |
county commissioners and the rail |
way He then pulled paper out of |
his pocket and read the names of
hree men whom he appointed to APP
,raise the value of the land con-
emned for the benefit of the North
