BROTHERHOODS Al ORD Leaders of Unions Call Off Scheduled 0 Walkout, By Unanimous Vote of '" Organizations. Chicago, Oct. 27.-The rail strike g< scheduled for October 30 -was averted ni tonight when leaders of the switch- te men, trainmen, conductors, engineers and firemen at a Joint-meeting adopt- ii ed a resolution withdranving authoris- d4 ation of a wsalkout and officials of the fc railroad telegraphers' organizations tc announced t'hey would take similar ac- It tion. These were the only unions r< which had authorized a strike. . The vote cabing off the strike was tt unanirous -'iy organizatios, W. G. ti 'Lee, residet of the Brotherhood of -Railroad Trainmen, announced. The si official working of the resolution CNl adolvyted was that "the strike be de- Ia clared not effectiXe." ti The vote 4n the individual unions at -was runusually close, however, the fire men particularly holding lengthy ar- si guments before agreeing to cancolla- a tion of the strike order, the labor u: chieftain said. -In some of the'groups the ballot was described as "the clos- f( est in history on a similar question." All of the differences (were ironed out ,by the different unions, however, and the final show down found all of them E casting their ballots for "no strike." E L. V. Sheppard, president of the Order of RIallway Coiductors, said 81 that the unions had decided to call off it the strike because of "the growing I a ,public opinion that the strike would be against the labor board, conse quently the government, and not p against the roads. n "It was evident also that the entire E Washington administration was op- G -posed to us and that we 'had little a chance of gaining our objectives," said . Mr. Sehppard. "We called this strike to gain cer tain rights to which our men were entitled," Mr. Sheppard told the As sociated Press. "It soon became evi dent, however, that the roadso were succeeding in their misleading ipropa ganda to the effect that we really would be strikin-g against the govern ment. This railroad propaganda found its way to the United States railroad labor board. This governmental agen cy told us that it would look oi a strike as against it and the govern ment and not against the roids, and that the full force of the govornment wold be brotight to 'oear against us If we Ndlked out. Under such cir cumstances there was nothing to do but annul our orders for the October 30 walkout." The first announcement of the ex ecutives' action was made by Mr. Lee. Rushing to the floor'below the hotel meeting room nwhere dozens of news paper reporters were congregated, lie smilingly shouted,: "The strike is off, boys, but I've only got one copy of the resolution and I'll show that to you tomorrow." All of the union men were smiling as they came out and many of them Jocularly pushed and shoved each other down the stairs. To all queries most of them replied:. "It's all settled. See you tomor rowls . The code messages ca'lling off the strike, arranged in advance, will'be sent out tomorrow morning, the union 'heads said.

Ii ~ i wL IOTE FOR STOCK CAUSE OF ACTION Special to The State. IEdgefield, Oct. 30.-The fall term of the court of common pleas adjourned yesterday when the suit of the Bank of Parksville against 1Dulie B. Dorn was completed This case attracted considerable attention, as it is 'prob able that other suits of the same char acter will be brought. In July, 1920, 'Mr. Dorn, the 'ilefendant, gave a note for $2,500 to the Fisheries Products company of Wilmington for stock in the company. Soon after the note was given it was sold to the Bank of Parksville by a representative of the comiany. When the note became due Mr. Dorn refused payment, alleging that the note was obtained from him through fraud. The bank was an in nocent holder, having purchased his negotiable note in good faith, know ing the maker to be a representative citizen who is responsible for his obli gations. The defendant alleged that the bank had informatdion that the note was obtained from him through fraud at the time that it purchased the note. An officer of the .bank stated during the trial that the 'Bank of Parksville now holds notes of this character aggregating $28,500. The jury rendered a verdict in fa'vor of the defendant, the maker of the note, but .judge Sense at once set the verdict aside upon the ground that it was a negotiable paper and that the pur chaser of the note, according to the testimony given, did not have evidence of the alleged fraud at the time the spurchase was made. The case has been closely watched as there are in this section a consid erable number of persons who pur chased stock in the Fisheries Products company and gave notes in payment. The statement has been made that the notes given in this section of the state will aggregate $750,000.
