3: Assertion by L. F. Loree, president
of the Delaware & Hudson and
chairman of the Eastern Presidents'
conference, that predictions of a
strike settlement and peace in the industry
were "all bunk."
4: The announcement that several
of the brotherhood ch'efs are en

proposals for settlement of the shop

to roil executives if all other peace
advances fail.
Heads of the association of executives
refused to comment on the unexpected
arrival of the three Eastern
presidents. Their return on the same
bout and in the midst of the present
crisis was admittedly significant,
however, especially since their representatives,

Mad Dog Attacks
Spartanburg Man
Spartanburg, Aug. 22.?Strangling
a mad shepherd dog to death with his
left hand while the brute held his
right hand in its mouth was the experience
of Elmer Pridmire Inst
Wednesday night. Tha young man,
who lives in the Bethesda section, w?3
returning home after making a call,
and as he was walking along the

Mr. Pridmore kicked the animal
cflf, and it came back at him,
charging at his face. As he warded
the attack the dog got him by his
right hand. The young man fought
back, catching *the dog by its throat,
at the same time calling for heip.
When assistance arrived it was found
that the dog had been choked to
death, but it had such a grip on the
young man's hand that force had to
be used to liberate his hand.
The young man was taken to a physician
and it was found necessary to
amputate a part of one finger. The
head of the animal was sent to Columbia,
and a telegram was sent back
stating that the dog had a well pronounced
case of hydrophobia. Mi"
Pridmore is being given the Pasteur
treatment, and his friends hope that
no ill results there will be from his
heroic fight for his life.
Mr. Pridmore is about 22 years of
age, and is the son of Tom Pridmore.
The dog was a stranger in
that section, tl is not known where
it came from or whose it was. It bit
