U.S.SUITS HOVER OVER GA. SYSTEM Union Men Say Evidence in Arbitration Case Will Show Violations. Evidence submitted at tlie court of arbitration considering the Georgia railroad strike may be used in gov ernment suits to show flagrant viola tions by tlie Georgia road of tiie Federal law against the use of employees in continuous sei vice longer than sixteen hours. Vice Presidents Murdock and Gregg, representing the unions, contend that they hold more than 60 telegrams sent by officials of the road ordering disregard of the law, and that 27 of these messages were signed by Super intendent W. S. Brand. If the authenticity of the messages can be established, the road will be Ha ble to the United States government, the penalty being in each case *SOO. a total of *30,000 if convictions were se cured in all. Charge Railroad Plot. The labor leaders openly charge that the bulletin issued by Superintendent Brand, which got Conductor Paschal into trouble, was framed for the pur pose of entrapping the conductor; fur thermore, that this was done because of Paschal’S activity as chairman of a conductor’s committee. John IV. Henley, assistant United States district attorney, declared that th ■ telegrams held by the union leaders may be used as basis for suit against the road. Mr. Scott and Mr. Brand neither admit nor deny the authorship of the messages, but will ask the court to go into the matter of the authorship through the telegraph operators who received these messages along the road. The union leaders declare they have other cards up their sleeves, such as certain letters purporting to have come from Gen-ral Manager Scott telling subordinates in the railway service that Paschal must be filed at any cost. These letters and other evidence ars being withheld pending developments, but they may be sprung any time and the case terminated abruptly. More Time Wanted. The labor leaders have charged indi rectly that th" road officials are play ing for time and are arguing beside the question. "We can't understand what you are driving at,” they have frequently told Mr. Brand and Mr. Scott. "Let us have the facts.” Judge William L. Chambers, who is presiding as umpire, would not allow Conductor Paschal's character to be brought intb question, since the oppo sition had not at that time made a defi nite presentation of facts tending to bear out the claim that discrimination had been used.
