Because of the i.''jr.Ja;- holiday, thev said they had j been unable to make a complete cneck of their fhopmcn, but that train serv ice would continue regardless of how many laid down their tools. With the union leaders refusing to treat with the labor board, the rail way executives asserting that the dis pute was entirely between their form er employes and the government, and the labor board assuring the full protection of the governor, interest in railway circles was centered on De troit, where the executive council of the United Brotherhood of Mainten ance of Way Employes will meet to morrow to canvasss the strike ballot of the track men. Hope was ex- i i v.. ii : i . : lof woods near the home of Curtis i esscu u,e ra" Huneycutt. He stated that Curtis tne maintenance of way men would iHuneycutt was the man who shot him. nnT' Jom lne ui. , Mr. jeweii today explained ne ig nored the labor board's summons be cause the board failed to exclude from wage reduction hearings almost eighty roads that had in part or wholly violated rulings of the govern ment tribual which, he said, has caus ed railroad employes to regard the board with no slight misgivings. "Practically all of these 80 roads violated decisions of the labor board," Mr. Jewell said. "Yet they were in cluded in the wage reduction hear ings. If the board had ruled that these roads were not entitled to par ticipate in these hearings the respect of railroad labor for the tribunal would have been increased materially Railorad labor would then have look ed upon the board as a tribunal wil ling and ready to deal out justice. If this had been done, the officials of the shop crafts could have gone to the men with this as an argument and averted the strike. But this was not done, and postponement of the strike was humanly impossible. "In the first place, my appearance before the board could not have re-1 r7'V x 17 1 hoattenu cimm, t due to have Deen ri ITountv Judge Ii irn.m, bu. the o.- r " . ii ..: 1 t lfense charged n: win- ui-.-u o..e u.

After the second shot he said Huneycutt ran back to the house with his gun. He got a plain view, he said, of the man who shot him, and he was posi tively certain that Curtis Huneycutt tjs the man, hut stated that he was quite sure that he had had a shave since he saw him for the first time the date on which he was assaulted by him. Mrs. Ranzo Hahn, another wit ness, testified that she saw Mr. Mor- pui go into the woods and that very shortly afterwards she saw Curtis Huneycutt go in that direction with a shot gun, that within a few minutes she heard two shots and then heard Mr. Morgan call for help. She saw Curtis Huneycutt and Miller get in an automobile, she said, and leave for Oaltboro, or somewhere in that di rection. She was sure that these men could have heard the wounded man calling for help, but they seemed to ly no attention to him. Another itness, A. L.

We should today stop long enough to pay homage to those men and women who wrought so mightily in the making of this great republic, and to offer up a prayer of thanksgiving for the blessings which we, as Americans, enjoy. Let us today sing with Longfellow from the depths of our souls : Thou, too, sail on, O ship of state ! Sail on, O Union, strong and great ! Humanity with all its fears, With all the hopes of future years Is hanging breathless on thy fate ! We know what Master laid thy keel, What Workman wrought thy ribs of steel, Who made each mast, and sail, and rope, What anvils rang, what hammers beat, In what a forge and what a heat Were shaped the anchors of thy hope ! Fear not each sudden sound and shock, Tis of the wave, and not the rock; Tis but the flapping of the sail, And not a rent made by the gale. In spite of rock and tempest's roar, In spite of false lights on the shore. Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea ! Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears. Our faith triumphant o'er our fears Are all with thee are all with thee!
