K1U WATER MAIN
IS BLOWN Ul
Spencer, N. C.f Aug. 21,?Quit
prevailed here today after Sunday bt
ing marked by the blasting of th
water main supplying the Soutbor
railway shops and burning severe
box cars in the yards and early morn
ing outbreak of apparently hanqlea
firing. The lack of water caused con
side i ably delay in the movement o
trains.
Rnnnhnv M ^ A Of\ ?

ments in the railroad shop strik
situation here today included th
blowing up of the 12 inch water mail
which supplies the Southern railway
shops and the hundreds of locomo
lives that are used out of Spencer
the burning of one or more bad orde:
cars near the yard limits while thi
water supply was cut off, and the ar
rival of 26 recruits for the working
force at the shops.
The water main apparently wat
blown up by dynamite. The explo
sion occurred at a point inside thi
shop yards, between the fence sur
rounding the property and a row o.
box cars and at a point about 7$
feet from a picket stand. The livei
of several pickets, it is said, wen
endangered by the explosion, whicl
awakened many of the citizens oi
Spencer, entirely blew out a sectioi
of the pipe and tore a hole in thi
gruunu me size 01 a small house
A stream of water flooded that sec
tion of the property until the watei
could be cut off.
The cutting off of the water sup
ply resulted in several hours delay t<
main line trains between Washingtoi
and altanta and also to branch lin<
trains, as* engines could not be pro
vided to take these trains out of th<
terminal here.
Throughout the day Sheriff J. H
Krider and Southern officials have
made vigorous efforts to fix responsi
bility for the explosion but said earl]
tonight they had obtained no clue
No charge has been preferred agains
anyone. Strikers are reported to bav<
told the officials that the work wai
done "from the inside" and that noni
of their men had anything to do wit!

and caused nurses at the hospital;
there to make ready to receive in
jured persons, they and others ii
Salisbury believing at riot had oc
curred. Authorities bnve been un
able to determine who did the shoot
ing.
As a result of the developments o
the last 24 hours, with the increase*
tenseness, it was expected that Colo
nel Don Scott, in command of the 50(
national guardsmen encamped thre<
miles from Spencer, would plao
ti'oops on guard duty around th<
shops, but this had not been don<
eai'ly tonight. Master Mechanic Mc
Bride, in charge of the shops, sai<
early tonight that while the oc
currences of the last day and nigh
would justify him in asking tha
troops be placed on guard duty th>
matter would be determined by sub
sequent developments. Colonel Scot,
said that his men were ready for in
stant service when called upon by th<
sheriff. Governor Morrison or South
ern railway officials.
No arrests had been made early to
night.
Sa'isbury, N. C., Aug. 20.?Th<
blowing up of a section of the 12 incl
main which supplied water to th?
Southern railway shops at Spence:
and the living quarters of the nev
workers employed to take the strik
erg' places, combined with the verj
tense general situation, led Col
Don Scott, in command of the eigh
companies of the national guardsmei
encamped near here, to consider to
day the advisability of placing troopi
on guard duty at the shops and else
where at strategic points. Late thi*
U/vtirorrnf if uroo iiVftfl Avof AA/
that this action would not be takei
tonight until there war* an outbreak
actual or imminent. Meanwhile th500
troops are kept in readiness foi
instant action, with transportation fa
cilities ready to move them withou
delay.
Salisbury people were excited abou
4 o'clock this morning when report
of many shots were heard from th<
direction of Spencer, and this is be
lieved to have given o**ig'n to report1
widely circulated during the day tha
a riot had occurred. However, so fa
as can be learned here, the author!
ties have not been able to aScertaii
where the shooting was or by whom
These incidents constituted th
only disorders reported up to ai
early hour tonight. No casualtie.
have been reported and no arrest
have been made during the day.

for delivery.

enforce its decisions, or to allow the
