<DIV align=left> Master Carpenter J. R. Anderson, of the
Norfolk and Western, who resides in Graham, was called on Tuesday night by a
committee of insurgent Pocahontas division painters. While policies could
not directly be blamed for the trouble in the painters' camp; yet the high cost
of living had something to do with the rumpus, for the painters represented that
they were not being fed a sufficient amount and of sufficient varieties to
appease their ever-coming appetites. The entire crew mutinied and most of
them came to Graham to interview Mr. Anderson. The spokesman declared that
butter was a rarity on the table of the camp car outfit and said beans were the
favorite dish for the morning meal as well as the leader for the other two meals
every day in the week, Sunday not excluded. Mr. Anderson promised the
striking painters to investigate their grievance with a view of getting the
trouble adjusted. The railroad men filled up a local hotel here
Tuesday night and ordered butter for breakfast Wednesday morning.</DIV>

<DIV align=center><STRONG>Lost Foot Looking for Work</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left>[<EM>This is the same incident reported in a different article
in the same newspaper and posted on the Mailing List yesterday.</EM>]</DIV>
<DIV align=left> Louis Falls, a young white man nineteen years
of age, who claims Roanoke as his home, had the misfortune to lose his left foot
here yesterday on the railroad. The accident occurred shortly after the
noon hour directly in front of the tower. The young man with a companion
attempted to board a passing freight train, missed his hold and was thrown
violently to the ground, his foot catching under the wheels of the rapidly
moving cars. The injured man was taken to the offices of Drs. Witten and
Frazier for surgical attention and later sent to the railroad hospital at
Bluefield. He was on his way to the coalfields in search of employment and
being without means intended making the trip on a freight train.</DIV>
