SHADOWED A CONFIDENTIAL
CLERK WHO WASN'T GUILTY
SOME SMOOTH SWINDLES.
By AL Heron (Retired Detective)

AS one may naturally infer, a
detective is always on duty and
meets with all manner of cases and
crooks; likewise all suspects are
not always guilty. Here is an in
stance:
was sent to shadow a confiden-
tial clerk, because his employer re-
ceived information that he bet Oc-
casionally on the races. My report
would read:
Dear Sir-Your clerk left home
at 1880; took such and such a car;
bought a paper; stopped at Feast
- and l. streets, and took 4
drink at Blanks place"
His clerk proved to be o. k, and
when the employer got my report
his head fell into his hands and he
uttered a fervent THANK Cod" He
offered me money, but | refused
because, when we are out of mon
ey, the main or branch offices
readily supply it for all necessary
and this reminds me:
Once I've forgotten the exact
date-I was nearing Chicago. I
would arrive in the city with less
than 81, and a man to be followed
a hundred or more miles further
So | wired ahead:
Have man meet me at Union
depot with 500. Will have neck
tie loose and have handkerchief
wrapped about left hand with
thumb visible. Mention my name. "
At the depot a gentleman steps
up and says:
Are you Mr.. Herron?"

Surreptitiously he slips money
into my hand, still walking, and I'M

on the suspect.
l may add that, if you are a
good man, the main office never OBJ
jects to time and expense, and this
recalls an incident when I spent II

or to buy some article. The sew

four months later, being thrown off
his guard, he took to me and had
his confession piecemeal. Is now

removed from a man who had been
tried and acquitted, but over whom
rested the cloud of suspicion.

work than this in one town. The
forger had been located there and
went there to bring him back.
He was very suspicious and met all
trains entering the small town.
One evening dropped off on the
far side of the train. went into
the hotel and sat down opposite
the man, and when he looked at me

An important meeting of Federal
union No. 222 will be held this
evening at Central Labor hall. The
efforts of the organization commit
tee of the Central Labor union has
been directed for some time past to
devising some way in which a set
tlement of all local misunderstand-
ings existing between the local
teamsters and Federal unions. The
Transfers troubles have been
brought to a satisfactory settle
ment and 1t Is believed that an
adjustment of the differences ex-
listing between the Federal unions
will be arrived at in the near fu-
ture. At the meeting tonight a
proposition will be made to the
membership of No. 222 which it is
hoped will prove satisfactory to all
concerned.
The only change in the strike
situation in Ballard has been the
walking out of the shingle weavers
in the Bolcom-McVey mill. The
weavers claim the mill refused to
pay the cutoff man the scale. This
leaves three mills making shingles,

Moore has given assurance that he
will make an example of any con-
tractor violating the law, and that
it was his opinion that such would
be sufficient grounds for the revo-
cation of a contract.
Fifteen cents Is the prevailing
price for hair cut, shave or sham
poo in Bellingham and these prices
are likely to remain for a time. At
a meeting of the BARRIERS union it
was decided to suspend the union

rate shops a run for their money.
1t is hoped thereby to put them out
Of business or bring them to the
union scale.

BUSINESS PRECEPTS.

Be originate you are different
the market for your talent is wider.
If you do things the same as everybody
else-somebody will cut the price and
you will have to work cheap. If you
possess individuality you have almost
Il monopoly and can get your own

Are you deaf to the knock of oppor-
tunity? Probably SO, most of the time;
and it is the same with every other
