Sutherlin resulted in Greencastle being closed tighter than th proverbial drum, those on th inside said during the late evening. However, it was said one poker game operator defied th< sheriff and told his friends and customers he would carry on a no one had authority to close up the game. This was street gossip knd no one in authority who was contacted during the day would confirm it. It was reported all the slot machines in private clubs in tin city were removed during thi day after Sheriff Sutherlin issued his order, the first to conic in this city within our memory, which goes back several years. The owners of the niachiie were taking no chances on losing them as they cost upward of

$250 each.

How long the lid will be clamped down is problematical, but all were guessing today that it was a temporary measure ami came as a result of some mix-up between factions during the past two or three months. In the meantime the ladies win play bridge for a coin on the corner had better be careful or their game might be raided, thu: affording a lot of entertainment for those who play down, town for "fun" and who have been denied this “fun” through the order of the sheriff.

Closed Shop Is Hotly Disputed WASHINGTON. Feb. 16 (UP) Senate Republicans displayed n growing interest today in proposals for lifting the Taft-Hartle.v Law's ban on the closed shoe while regulating its ‘'abuses.” The closed shop continued to be one of the most hotly disputed issues before the Senat' Labor Committee as the group recalled AFL President W'illiam Green for furthering questioning. Green made clear yesterday that the AFL is whole-heartedly opposed to the Taft-Hartley pr vision forbidding closed shop contracts and restricting the union shop. The Administration bill pending before the Senate committee would repeal the Taft-Hartley Law and restore the Wagner Act with some changes. UN Probe Seen On Russ Labor LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. Feb. 16 (UP) A United Nations inquiry into forced labor as it allegedly exists in Russia seemed assured today as the Economic and Social Council prepared to vote on a United Nations resolution which would direct the International Labor Organization to make such a study. The IDO investigation would be based on documented accounts of slave labor in Russia presented the Council yesterday by Miss Toni Sender, representing the American Federation of Labor.

Chamness, operator for the Pennsy! Yania and Monon railroads at the Limcdale tower has climbed that many steps in the past 18 years and prior to that he worked in other towns for a period of about 30 years. On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Chamness was presented with a •jold 50 year pin by officials of he Pennsylvania railroad boause he has completed 50 lone years of service with thi- ra-l-oad and is still going strong, depite his 50 years of service. Tli ■ pin was presented by A. L. Hunt, Superintendent of the St. Diuis Division of the railroad. He was accompanied here by C. F. Bar■aider. Division Operator. While Mr. Chamness was being honoid. Richard Ruble of Brazil, another operator, came in and took over the operation of the "millions” of controls in the Limcdale tower and all trains buzze i through without anyone knowing what was going on in the sma!! tower room high above thi speeding trains. Mr. Chamness entered the ser .viri of the Vandalia Railroad February 15, 1899 and rounded nit 50 years of service February 15. He worked as an extra op orator until November. 1899 at which time he was appointed a -egular night operator at Reeloville when he worked until June, 1901 when he was appointed igent and operator at Fillmore. He sei ved at Fillmore until Sept. 1927, at which time the station was closed. He then was shifted buck in the Telegraph Department where he has served ever since, v. ' iking at the Union Siu1 ion. Terre Haute, Wavelami Jet., Marion ami Almeda towers until Almeda tower was closed in October, 1930, at which time he came to Limedalc towci where he is still working. In these 50 years of service many charges have taken place always for the improvement of better service. When he entered the service just about 50 per cent nf freight cars were equipped vith ait brakes and the Jenny .’oupli rs. The 19 Train Order which is a helping order was put in service. These orders are raugtit on the run by trainmen, then in 1904 came the manual block system which remained in service until the automatic signals were put in service, b 1930 the Centralized Traffic Con trol system was installed be tween Limcdale and Hen Davi.which handles all switches aiv dgnals between these two pointind is operated from Limedal tower by remote control. The installation of the auto malic signal controls in th Limodale tower was among the very first in the United Stat s and scores of top-flight railroad executives have been here to ini he system. Tin Ir nami > are all recorded in a book kept .or that purpose. Included are many names from foreign countries. They were signed by me;, visiting modi rn railroad systems in this country and as this aiito-,-nutic affair was the very new•st, they all came to Limodale.

Ground Blizzards Caused By Winds (By United Press) High winds swept over Utah and northern Nevada today, setting off ground blizzards that blocked highways and railroads and completely isolated Salt Lake City. In Nevada, where the Legislature appropriated another $25.000 for emergency measures to save livestock, ranchers in the Ely-Caliente area described their plight as “woise than ever.” Stiff 50-mile-an-hour gales redrifted the snow across roadways in Utah as fast as snow plows cleared them. All transcontinental buses were held in I Suit Lake City.
