At Dr, King's a trepanaing oper: tion was performed in the belief that the rake had made a depression of the skull which was causing Vir- ginia’s acute pain.

Although respond- ing generally to the call last Satar- day, railroad officials insisted that many of the defections were due to the desire of the men to take a holt- day over the Fourth of July, Local union reports to the office of B. M. Jewell, head of the shopmen reiterated the unton assertion thai the strike was 100 per cent. effective at all points reporting. Maintenance of way men, despite the decision of that union's Executive Council here last night to postpone strike action for the present, were also reported to be joining the walk- out. Such reports reached President Jeweii's headquarters and were con- firmed by news despatches.
