8eporters were assigned to interview
employers and employed, and every

reported for fully three days. When
she story Melted two columns, it even
sarned editorial notice in most of the
great dailes. This advised the st.ik

and "the great partnership of labor and

sloEence of any kind was attempted.

Mr.. Harlan's arm swung, and his fist
swept McMannis to the floor.
Leslie darted to her fathers side and
held his arm as he reached for the
fallen chair to protect himself.
But Mr.. McMannis had no intention
of retaliation. He scrambled slowly to
his feet, picked up his notebook, and
edged toward the door

some seconds after the front door
closed. Then she sank back on the
