R. LEADERS WIFE PLEADS AS HER HUBBY GOES TO JAIL Everett Main Held for Su- perior Court on Little Girl’s Charges There was a touching scene in po- lice court this morning when Everett Main, of City avenue, was bound over for superior court under bail of $1,000 charged with indecent assault on a 10-year-old girl. Mrs. Main, wife of two years, and the mother of a three- month-old child, with tears streaming down her face, pleaded with Judge George W. Klett, who was on the bench, to find some way of taking care of her and her little child. The little girl told a straightfor- ward story from which she never wavered. Her chum, a girl of about the same age, corroborated her testi- mony. Chief Detective Sergeant Willlam C. McCue testified that his investigation had revealed evidence which substantiated the testimony of the girl. He also stated that Main had admitted his guilt. . He declined to take the stand and was held under $1,000 bail, At this point there was a sensa- tional interruption when Mrs. Main broke down and cried out, “Judge, who is going to take care of me and my three-month-old chiid?” Prose- cuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods at- tempted to quiet Mrs. Main when he was requested by the court to let her speak. £he repeated her statement that she had a three-month-old child and had no means of support except from her husband's wages. Tears streamed down the face of the heart- broken wife and mother, and her form shook with convulsive sobs as she was led from the room by Pro- bation Officer E. C. Connolly and Miss Helen Johnson, after Judge Klett had informed her that Mr. Connolly would see that she was cared for. She *was taken to Mr. Connolly's office where she sat and cried bitterly. “T don’t know what to do,’ she said, "‘I can't understand it, he never was | in trouble before, he was a good man and never had anything to do with the police or the court.” Here again she broke down and cried before pro- ceeding. She said she had not the slightest idea where she could find the $1,000 bail. Her parents, who reside on City avenue, have seven children and have all they can do to take care of the family. “I don't know how I can get along,” she continued, *“T don’t want them to take my baby from me, either.” She said her hus- band's folks live on East Main street but could do no more for her than her own family. She was taken out of the room by Miss Johnson, who told her not to worry that she would be given enough to eat. She sald what little wages her husband had coming were just sufficient to pay the rent. Two other similar affairs have been discovered, to which Main admits, ac- cording to Sergeant McCue. It is not of of of on these counts or not.

ATFERRALACTON Injnnction/ g " Bombshell in Their Midst , SEE COLLAPSE OF ROADS Doclare It Will Take More Than An Injunction To Prevent Shopmen From Winning Victory—Daugherty Friendly To Roads, Is Charge, Washington, Sept. 1. (By Associat- ed Press)—Leaders of the striking shopmen will not abate their attempts to make their strike effective what- ever action is taken by the court in Chicago as a result of injunction pro- ceedings instituted by Attorney Gen. Daugherty, it was sald here today by W. H. Johnston, president of the in- ternational association of machinists, one of the largest striking groups. Federal Blunder. ‘“The filing of this sult is just an- other blunder to be added to the large list which the administration has al- ready made in dealing with the rail- road situation,”” Mr., Johnston said. “I am surprised Mr. Daugherty isn't at- tempting to restrain the rallroads in- stead of the men. The administra- tion has done everything it could to help the rallroad management,” Predicts R. R. Collapse. Mr. Johnston asserted that it would ‘“take more than a mere injunction suit or an injunction to prevent the complete collapse of some of these rallroads in the next 30 days” and added: “We shall continue with the strike whatever happens. We are not afraid of anything the courts can do. Men still have some constitutional rights in America and we shall stand on them.” Action A Surprise. Word of the court action begun in Chicago had a bombshell effect among labor leaders generally, and there were many expressions of surprise among government officials them- selves. The secret of the contemplat- ed action had been well kept and the attorney general had slipped out of Washington with few of his close as sociates knowing of his intentions. Gompers Takes Action. President Gompers of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor asked for all the detalls about the Chicago pro- ceedings before he was willing to comment, but he indicated that the federation would set before the pub- lic, before the day was over, its opinion of the use of the injunction In connection with a‘strike of the magnitude of that now in progress. Cfficials of labor organizations in the meantime pointed out that there had been “a bushel of injunctions” granted to railroads against local strike organizations which they as- serted had in no way interfered with the effectiveness of the strike. The shopmen, according to the labor view, are not engaged in unlawful action and cannot be forced by injunctions to go back to work. Cummins Approves. Members of the senate and house were slow to comment, but Chairman Cummins of the senate interstate commerce committee, said he was one of those who had been consulted about the move. He said that in the present circumstances, “any move that will help keep the railroads in opera- tion has my approval.” MISS McCORMICK IS GIVEN MOVIE OFFER Is Reported As Being Offered More Than Million To Star On Screen and Stage 1.—Willlam Sherrill New York he had Chicago, Sept. who said represented interests, announced today tendered to Miss Muriel McCormick offers to appear on the stage and screen as “Navanna Mi Cor.” Miss McCormick is the daughter of Harold McCormick, head of the executive committee of the Interna- tional Harvester who recently married Ganna Walska, Polish grand opera star, after his wife, the daugh- ter of John D. Rockefeller had ob- tained a divorce on the ground of desertion. Under <he terms of the proposed contract it was rumored that Miss McC ick would receive more than $1,000,000 The type of motion picture vehicle which is being considered for Miss McCormick's first picture, Mr. Sherrill said, dealt with ccllege life, “frenzied finance’” and a girl who faced pover- ty for love. Her share of the pro- ceeds of the picture, he said, she was considering devoting to charity. TWO DI IN WRECK, Cape Girardeau, Mo., Sept. 1.

Davis, secretary of labor announces a stand in favor of beer for steel mill work- ers in a chapter of the autobiography of his life “The Iron Puddler,” which is now on the press. As a preface to his observations on that subject Secretary Davis likened the temperature in the tin mills in the summer time to the Fourth of July in Abyssinia. “Water doesn't agree with the stomach as well as does beer,” is one sentence in his autobiography where | Secretary Davis quotes himself direct- ly in conversation with what he term- ed an “uplifter.” “You never worked at terrific mus- cular exertion handling white hot iron in a mill like this,” he stated. “You haven't got the muscles to do it and I doubt if you've the heart. You cannot know the condition a man is in when he hits his hardest licks here. But they know and I know. | “Some of the men feel that they can't drink water at that time. My val tells me that his stomach rejects it; his throat seems to colldpse as he gulps it. But beer he can drink and it eases him. < “The alcohol in beer is a blessing at that time. It soothes his labor- ing stomach until the water can get into his system and quench the man'’s | thirst. Iron workers in the old world | have used malt beverages for genera- tions. Why take away the other man's pleasure if it doesn't injure you?" In another chapter the secretary writes: “Capitalism as the communists call it, is an imperfect system, but it is the only system that has banished famine. Under communism and feud- alism there was hunger. “Nature s using communists, slack- ers, sick men and fools to undermine the race that has conquered her.” CORONER'S FINDINGS No One Found Responsible for Death of Man Killed on Savin Rock| Amusement Device.
