ENTRANCE FOR EXIT
Dr. \\ . Vanßeidel, of the Dodson
Medicine Company, in police court to
day, told Recorder Broyles that N. G.
Eason, conductor on a pay-as-you-en
ter trolley car, assaulted him and bad
ly tore his clothing atmply because he
made the mistake of starting from the
entrance instead of the exit of the car.
He said that previously the conductor
had some words with a negro on the
rear platform and that at the time he
was seated in the car doing some figur
ing on a slip of paper. The conductor,
be said, evidently thought he was tak
ing his number to report him and be
came enraged. As the doctor started
to have the car, he said, Eason seized
him. shoved hint back, and was very
abusive in ordering him to go out the
other way.
Judge Brnvli s then ordered a cast'
made against the conductor and fined
him »5.7.'.. He also fined Dr. Valißel
del the s.iim amount, thi conductor
I accusing him of using profanity.
PfISCML SAYS HE
ACTED ON ORDERS
Conductor on Stand in Strike
Arbitration Hearing—“ An
imus” Letters Not Shown.
The expected letters of General Man
ager T. K. Scott, of the Georgia rail
road, showing, according to the claim
of the union leaders in the strike arbi
tration, that Conductor J. T. Paschn
was marked for dismissal because of
his activity as a union committee chair
man, did not materialize at the morning
session of the board of arbiters in the
Federal building, but Conductor Pas
chal was put on the stand.
Paschal was questioned far an hour
on the details of his trip from Conyers
to Lithonia, and his defense was that
he had acted within orders. Superin
tendent Brand, of the road, sought t(
show that Paschal had caused Enginee-
P. AV. Roberts to run overtime in viola
tion of the Federal statutes and the
company’s ruling, In accordance there
with.
A turn occurred in the. case which the
union leaders took quick advantage of.
This was the statement by Mr. Scott in
presenting the road's outline of prose
cution that .1,079 violations of the lav.
which Paschal is accused of having vio
lated had been reported to the interstate
commerce commission since 1908. Aft
er a conference with Mr. Brand Mr
Scott declared that he wished that part
of iiis remarks expunged from the rec
ord, or he desired that Mr. Brand
should take the stand and make a cor
rection.
Other Cases Cited.
-Mr. Brand accordingly explained that
the road’s chief dispatcher had had
1.079 requests from trainmen for in
| struetions on whether to proceed with
| their trains in violation of the Federal
law.
A message purporting to come from
Mr. Brand to a telegraph operator wa«
introduced, it ordered that the con
ductor of the freight train then at that
point proceed on his trip, regardless of
the sixteen-hour service law.
Mr. Murdock handed the document to
the court, with the remark that the
union leaders had a number of other
such exhibits and would produce them
later. The contention of the union now
is. therefore, that plenty of other viola
tions have taken place, and that the
conductor in question has been dis
criminated against and should be given
back his job.
There was a spirited colloqup be
tween Mr. Brand and Mr. Murdock
while the former was making out the
road’s case, which ended by the latter
declaring, “Let’s have the facts.” Mi-
Brand said they would be forthcoming.
The board adjourned at’ 1 o’clock for
an hour of dinner and reconvened at 2.
It will sit until 4 and meet again to
morrow at 10 a. m.
T. A. Gregg, vice president of the Or
der of Railway Conductors, denied to
day that he had referred to Conductor
Paschal as a Socialist.
