Fine Work Of the secret Service In
Running Them Down..

@#M@@# W&&.
A secret service man tells of an ex-
p~eriencc of his when on a difficult case
Of counterfeiting. The district had
been flooded with bad coins and spuri
ous notes. and 1t was his duty to To-
cate the plant. At last they dropped
across a newcomer who was living In
fine style. He was educated and very
reserved, and when he got any mail he
seemed quite Indifferent whether any
one saw 1t or not. He would read his
notes on the way home and throw the
envelopes carelessly on the sidewalk.
Not one Of them gave the ghost Of q
clew. Every morning about I O'Clock
a young milkman went to the mans
house and left d quart Of milk. He,
too, was d newcomer, and this set the
secret service man thinking. SO be
watched. A stout cook Mt the kitchen
always took the can Of milk and hand.

day before. The milkman. 1t turned
out. was the go.betwcen. The milk
cans had false bottoms. and here MIR,

ment-does o prevent strikes has
been demonstrated In various conn-
tries, the latest example being Hun
gary, where $4,000 railway men of all
grades are now reported to be on a
strike, based on the wage question. II
is noteworthy also that the traffic Of
the suspended government roads is be-
ing taken by railways under private
ownership, which are not involved in
any trouble with their employees.
| Wages in government service are
commonly lower than in employment
by corporations and individuals, and
in general the tendency in govern
ment service is to treat employees as
machines, while company manage
ment treats them as individual men.
Government railway ownership GER
tainly Is not the ideal condition in the
minds of the labor leaders.
The above taken from the current
number Of the Railway Age, adds
nothing to the mass Of argument on
both sides Of the government owner.
ship controversy. While the conclus-
ions reached by the Age are in the
main in accordance with the best au.
thorities on the question, the indica.
tons upon which they are based are
strikingly inadequate. 1t is true that
government ownership of railways
can not be depended upon to prevent
strikes but the fact could never be
maintained by reference to the gov,
eminent OF Austro-H Hungary, which
for the past hundred years has moi
been able to prevent anything. In
the same way. the assumption that
wages under government ownership
are lower than under private corpor
atoms Is based upon the conditions II
the countries where the railways arr
