Salisbury, Oct. 3—J.F. Barrett, former president of the State Federation of Labor, forfeited his bond in the sum of $300 today in county court by failing to appear for trial this morning when the two cases against him, charging carrying a concealed weapon and drunk and disorderly were called.

The cases had previously been continued twice. Judge Furr ordered a capias sci fa returnable in Rowan county court on October 14. These cases developed at the time of the visit here of the defendant during the railroad shopmen’s strike.
