FASCISMS HE fICTEODNOROEHS 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. Paschal 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 for an lioqr on the details of his trip from Conyers to Lithonia, and his defense was that he had acted within orders.

Aft er a conference with Mr. Brand. Mr Scott declared that he wished that part of his remarks expunged from the rec ord, or he desired that Mr. Brand should take the stand and make a cor rection. Other Cases Cjted. Mr. Brand accordingly that the road’s chief dispatcher had had 1,079 requests from trainmen for in structions on whether to proceed with their trains in violation of the Federal law.

Mr. Murdock handed the document to the court, with the remark that the union leaders had a number of othe; 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 thc conductor in qiff>stion has been dis criminated against and should be given back his job. Ihete was a spirited colloqup be tween Mr. Brand and Mr. Murdock while the forme!- was making out the road’s case, which ended by the lattei declaring, "Let’s have the facts.” Mr. Brand said they would be forthcoming. The board adjourned at 1 o’clock for atyjidun 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 Railwaj' Conductors, denied to day that he had referred to Conductor Paschal as a Socialist.
