Blockadars Shoot Up Baptist V Convention Pikeville, Ky., Sept. 27.—After more than 100 moonahbiefs, bootleg ger* and intoxicated men had driven off the pastors and broken up the con vention of the Baotiat Minister* of Pike county Sunday night. United State* Marahal A. J. Potter, with eight deputy sheriffs, swooped down on the outlaw* and arrested five of the leaden. Pastors and laymen from a (core | of, churches in several hill counties had gathered In a little church at Syaamore, for the annual conference. There they denounced the evil influ ences which have earned a wave of lawleaaneaa in the mountains. They scored moonshiners, bootlegger* and all who gave sympathy to the liquor traffic. Reeolutions pledging efforts of the aaeoeiatkm toward stamping out ao-called outlawry were adpoted. Then the lawleaa element in the community began to manifest tta aversion to the convention, and mare than 100 men, many under the Influ ence of Hqnor, raided the meeting, running off the preachers, shooting the convention"* Bible to piecea, and taking, ihaig* of the church and I grounds. {CONGRESS MAY ACT IN LABOR CRISIS PraUra mt Uwawaploym—I ia Urn tod SUI« rr.nlwi far RwMic Work* IW Waahinctoa.

It was introduced by David 1. Walsh (D.), Senator from Massachusetts, and with a large faction In the Sen ate it is finding favor, especially in view of recent disclosures. If the Education and Labor Com mittee does take up the question of employment, and there are reasons to believe It will, shortly after the re cess, it probably will go into matters affecting the coat of living, and espe cially the price of coal. Republican leaders are not satisfied with the slow return to normalcy in the cost of those Items which go to make up the family budget, and any quest ion of unemploy ment necessarily moat take into con sideration living costs, it la pointed oat. The cry for economy in public ex penditures may force Congress to fight shy of authorising any extensive appropriations for public works, hot the question of oo-operation between the states and the federal government will receive serious consideration after the recess, as It will during the national conference on unemployment, which probably will bo held in Wash ington late in September. Congres ional leaders recognise that unem ployment Is an Issue that must be faced squsrely and speedily, and may be counted upon to give It due con sideration at the earlieet time pos sible.
