A young mechanic came in my
office yesterday morning and asked
to use my phone. I told him to help
himself. He finally got central
waked up and called for Be j ton. It
seems that the Shaw Motor Co., had
sent him over here to bring in a
Ford roadster that hud been report
ed a* "a lltl'lr wreck" by the young
man who happens to bt aliVe
after it turned over.
Well, thin young man said: "Say,

Itockmart, (in., Oct. 0. ? After an
exhaustive ; search, extending from
(ieorgia to tho financial centers of
New York for approximately $1,000,
000 in tacks aiu) bonds, belonging to
the estate of Thomas J. Flourney,
they have been foutul wrapped ip an
old newspaper ami chucked away in
the cement vault of the Soy thorn
States Portland Cement company of
which he. was president, "
.Mr. Flournoy came to Kockmart
about 25 years ajjo from Kentucky.
He died here September &. The Fi
delity and Columbia Trust Company
of Louisville, in administering- the
estate, found that he wao worth about
$2,000,000 iii si-i-ui itu.a, although only
about half of this amount could be
located.
An extensive search was begun in
an effort to locate, the remainder of
the fortune, which led to a close
scrutiny of the fire-proof vault at the
plant here, used by the. company ?n
safeguarding books and valuable
papers. The examination of a pack
age, wrapped in a newspaper revealed
the much-sought tieusure.
Mr. Flournoy, who was more or (
less a recluse, died at thb age of (?'j i
y^-nrs. -J To vl-as unmarried and his!
estate will be divided among a num- i
Imt of. nieces and nephews living here \
and in Kentucky.
Just why Mr. Flournoy left thc< j
valuable package loose in the cement !
plant's vuult, instead of in the vault'
of the Farmers and Merchants Na- 1
tional Hank of Kockmart, of which)
he also was president when he died, I
is not known.
Mr. Flournoy had extensive inter- j
esLs at Paducah, Ky., and his body !
was carried to Princeton, Ky., his old

the Information of the Public
The strike which has been ordered by thu, General Committee of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers
among its members employed by the Atlantic Coast Line is the culmination of the refusal of that organiza
tion to accept a decision by the United States Railroad Labor Board denying the demands of the organiza
tion for a general increase in wages and for annual vacation of two weeks with pay.
?'a
Throughout the negotiations which led up to the present situation the Atlantic Coast Line has scrupu
lously complied both with the letter and the spirit of the law and with the orders of the Labor Board which
is the agency created and authorized by Congress for the settlement of disputes between the railroads and
organizations of their employees.
The Order of Railroad Telegraphers agreed readily enough to submit the case to the Railroad Labor
Hoard -or settlement but refused to accept the decision made by the Board after exhaustive investigation
and has ordered a strike because the decision which they asked the Board to make did not satisfy them.
The Labor Board decided that the demands of the organization for a general increase of wages and for
a vacation rule were not justified. It instructed both parties to look into the question of eliminating inequal
ities in the pay of some positions. For this purpose conferences were held by the Atlantic Coast Line with
representatives of the Telegraphers in an effort to reach an amicable settlement of this issue, remanded by
the Labor Board, and the Atlantic Coast Line, after negotiations lasting for a period of five weeks, made an
offer to adjust the rates of pay of a substantial number of positions involved.
This offer was refused by representatives of the Telegraphers who on September 16th broke off negotia
tions with the statement that they would not further discuss the question of removing inequalities but
would demand again a general increase and vacation for all men, both of which demands had been found by
the Labor Board to be unwarranted. When the Atlantic Coast Line suggested that the matter should be re
ferred again to the Labor Board in accordance with directions by the Board that this be done if no settlement
was reached, the representatives of the organization refused to join in such action.
The Atlantic Coast Line, therefore, informed the Labor Board of its failure to reach a settlement, and
the Labor Board immediately assumed jurisdiction over the controversy and ordered both parties before it
at Chicago for a hearing on October 9th. Officers of Atlantic Coast Line appeared as ordered, but the
Telegraphers' organization declined to comply with the Board's instructions and did not put in an appear
ance. In view of this the Labor Board decided to send three members to the property to investigate the
whole situation ; one member representing the public, who is Vice-Chairman of the United States Railroad
Labor Board, one representing the organizations and one representing the railroads. This section of the
Hoard conducted hearings at Wilmington on October 12th and 13th.
Prior to this time a strike ballot had been distributed among the members of the organization. At the
Wilmington hearing representatives of the organization informed the Labor Board members that while the
Telegraphers would co-operate with the Board in making the proposed investigation, such co-operation would
not he allowed to interfere w ith the program which the organization had mapped out for handling the matter
< n their own account.
The representatives of the Labor Board visited a number of places on the property getting the facts in
regard t" the situation, so that a report could be made to the full membership of the Labor Board, follow
ing which the Board has announced that a prompt and final decision would be made, and the Company will
ho governed by that decision. The strike has been called without waiting for this action by the United State."*
Railroad Lab'?r Board. It is in direct defiance of the law.
The Atiantie ('oast Line will make every effort to provide for uninterrupted service to the public.
