we've got to talk about now is whether
it's better to have good treatment for

Kennard for to-day and Trusts for to-

A ripple of applause from the front
benches followed this period, and Nc
Mannis paused as the sound of en-
couragement became more general.
Let me tell you something about
what we've DONE" he continued up
at Farjean's they had piece-work down
to such a fine point, there wasn't a
man or woman earning a full days
pay. We changed that At the Boil

output with apprentices, and nobody

got their walking papers, and a new
lot of Eddlestone's people was ready
to march in and take their places.
don't say there's any such games be-
ing played here, but l did hear one
thing this evening which sort of made
me cock my ears
McMannis paused for an instant and
glanced across the smoky room to
make sure that he had aroused the GU
riosity of his auditors and was hold
ing their attention.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1905-08-25

Mr.. McMannis was quite right. he OBJ
served. to raise such questions before
hey became issues, but Kennard, and
not he, was to-day the controlling in
auence. Frankly. Mr. Kennard had not
yet agreed to join the syndicate. II
he stayed out. it meant a trade wal
and wages would be what the workmen
ould get 1t he came in at the right
igure-1Ir Trundell emphasized the
asst words slightly-the thing would be
commercially successful, and the pre-
gailing rate of wages would govern,
and steady work was assured.
Mr. McMannis now understood the
situation more clearly, but one or two
questions presented themselves to his
mind as Mr. Trundell was speaking,
md he proceeded TO put them. ,
For a few minutes after his visitor
ceased speaking the senior partner
watched the little machine as it's
wheels whirred backward and forward,
tapping and clicking the record OF
business done. Then he slowly re-
seated himself at his desk, and began
o talk with his eyes fixed on the iel-
gates face.
1t is wonderful how certain types of
men recognize each other, no matter
low disguised. The bribe-giver AMI
he bribe-taker seldom mistake one an
timer. There is a strong psychological
interest in this clear connection be-
ween minds warded by warped con-
ciences. Their complete understand
ng is surely the genius of interpreta-
ion. The proverbial birds of a
Gather flock together" neither explains
lor satisfies. The eagles and the car
ion crows of the human race often
onsort together, and the unspoGen
words that bind a political bargain Or
orce a push-cart tribute are unler-
TODD alike by re nan of university
raining and the tyrant of the tene-
nents.
Neither Dick Trundell nor Pete Nc
1annis was concerned with psychic
uestions, nor were they troubled by
my doubts. AS they talked, the small,
nifty eyes of the labor leader wan
cred about the ROOM resting with sat
sfaction on the soft curtains and lux
lrious fittings, darting from picture to
Iicture, noting every detail from the
noosehead on the wall TO the splendid
opal ring on the senior partners fin
ser, but always returning sooner or
alter to meet his dull heavy eyes in a
lance of mutual understanding.
When the two separated. they had
