George W. Hunt, back from a Chicago meeting, said the Brotherhood chairmen barred operating switch engines in yards of strike torn Pacific coast towns if armed guards man them. Past examples showed it riskier to run engines guarded by armed men than to keep them out of service during the strike. The chairmen also formed two regional boards to settle disputes under Brotherhood Trainmen rules.

Hickman Murder Trial Receives Surprise Witness
In San Francisco on July 17, Millard Hickman’s murder trial drew closer to his testimony as defense witnesses introduced Pete de LaPorte who described seeing a small woman abducted near Hickman’s hotel around 3 a.m. on May 13. De LaPorte’s account, supported by time notes, contrasted with the state’s theory placing Hickman at Golden Gate Park with the victim. Meanwhile, last night a night court session relayed that Hickman was allegedly in his hotel room with another woman at the time, with witnesses placing sounds of screams and hotel calls near 4 a.m. Johnson testified to a 4 a.m. time, aligning with Hickman’s alibi.
