GASTONA SN [ s v s v | TRIAL OPENSJULYZY Fifteen Men and Women Are Accused in Shooting of Police Chief. By the Associated Press. GASTONIA, N. C., July 25.—One of the most sensational labor disturbances in Southern history will culminate in the trial of 15 men and women July 29 on a charge of murder. Leaders in the movement of the National Textile Workers' Union to gain a foothold in the South will go to trial on a charge of murdering Chief of Police O. F. Aderholt June 7. The outcome is causing much interest in the South, which always has feared Northern labor methods. Three Wounded at Time. On April 22 the union, which is assisted by various communistic or- ganizations, called a strike at the Loray Cotton Mills. There was some trouble and troops were called out. After several weeks the union and the International Workers’ Relief estab- lished a tent colony for some 156 strikers and their families. Armed guards were posted about the camp. On June 7 there was a disturbance at the camp. Chief Aderholt and Pa- trolmen Tom Gilbert, A. J. Roach and two other officers went to the camp to investigate. ‘They were stopped by guards, and in the excitement that ensued some one discharged a shotgun loaded with bird shot at the officers. The chief, Gilbert, Roach, another officer and Joseph Har- rison. a union organizer, were wounded. The chief died the next day. and approximately 75 strikers and strike leaders were arrested. After investi- gation and preliminary hearings held in Charlotte 15 men and women were held on charges of murder growing out of the death of the chief, and six per- sons were held in $750 bond on charges of assault on the living officers, Defendants in Trial. ‘The defendants in the murder case are Fred Erwin Beal, Southern or- ganizer for the National Textile Work- ers’ Union; Vera Bush, union worker; Amy Schechter, director of relief work for the International Workers’ Relief; Sophie Melvin, striker; K.

Barnhill of Rocky Mount, N. C., assigned by Gov. O. Max Gardner to hear it. The defense plans to ask for a change of venue, and if granted it is expected that the case will be_moved to Charlotte. The defense has retained among its counsel Tom P. Jimison, labor attorney of Charlotte: John Randolph Neal of Knoxville, Tenn.,, who gained consid- erable fame in the Scopes evolution trial at Dayton, Tenn.; Frank Carter, former superior judge, and a number of lesser known lawyers.

Rent, 2 Cents a Yesr, i!npmd. An estate manager in Scotland has a problem in connsction with a “pepper- corn agent,” a custom dating from the Middle Ages, of paying a small amount, usually a pound of peppercorn or the equivalent, to keep alive the title of an estate. One tenant paid two cents a year rent, it costing the agent three cents in postage to notify him that rent day had arrived. Last year the tenant failed to pay, and recently died two YOU SERVE TEA ICED choose the fin- est tea of most delicate flavor FORMOSA O0OLONG TEA DAINTIEST OF TEAS < ) Fishcake Pie MIX Gorton's Ready- to-Fry Cod Fish Cakes with milk and beaten egg, and bake in a buttered dish sprinkled with cracker crumbs and grated cheese!
