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. 7 CHILDREN RESCUED FROM LOUISVILLE FIRE LOUISVILLE, KY„ Nov. 11. —Police- men plunged Into a burning building at | .Ninth and Jefferson streets early this | morning and rescued seven children from burning to death.
