Mr.. Harold Clancy strolling in St
James park, London, saw a good look
ing lady sitting on a bench. Conclud-
Ing by her appearance that she as well
as himself was an American, he mo-
ticed her as he passed, then turned and
walked back. She looked him in the
face and continued to do SO until he
feood before her. Then as he doffed
his hat and bowed she smilingly and
sweetly said.
Il knew that you were an American
and would come back. Will you sit
DOWN.
Mr.. Clancy sat down after excusing
himself. The nursegirls in the vicin-
ity glggled, and a policeman passing
along winked at him in q solemn man
ner, but he refused to be perturbed. In
a few minutes he discovered that he
had made no mistake. The good look
Ing lady was not only an American,
but resident Of Chicago when at
home. She was also a widow of two
years standing. She had come over to
London, chaperoned by her mother and
escorted by her lawyer, to see about
some property. Her mother had been
taken III and was then unable to leave
her bed in the lodgings the lawyer had
secured for them. She herself had got
out that day for the first time in a
week to get breath Of fresh air The
story up to this point did not call for
any great amount Of sympathy, but
there was more to It, The lawyer had
suddenly and mysteriously disappear
ed. For week nothing had been
heard Of him. He hadn't played any
shyster trick on them, but had proba-
bly, been murdered. She and her moth
er had discussed the matter in all its
bearings and could come to no other
conclusion.
The good looking lady had not gone
to the police, nor had she notified the
American minister She was feeling
helpless In the matter and wishing she
had the advice of a compstrlot in her
troubles. Harold Clancy was willing
and anxious to advise. He convinced
her almost at once, but it was an hour
later when she asked him to convince

was worrying her heart out and would
probably have a relapse unless she were
convinced that the lawyer had been
abducted and held for ransom instead
of being robbed and hung over the en-
bankment to fioat around in the mud
dy waters Of the Thames. Could She
dare she-ask Mr.. Clancy to call at her
house and cheer and somfort her
mother?
Mr.. Clancy promptly replied that she

in the lady's eyes, but his promptness
was little too prompt. She must for
several reasons, some Of which she
mentioned and some she didn't, ask
him to defer bis call until evening.
When this point had been settled they
rose and separated. The nursegirls
giggled again, and the policeman came
back with his solemn wink, but the
good looking lady pretended not to see
or hear, and Mr.. Clancy scowled at
the nurses and cIinched his tist at the
guardian Of the peace and vowed that
he would lick him If he ever caught
the fellow in America.
There were four hours to wait Mr..

square hole in round grindstone. He

was told that he was expected and to

Strength of Trades Unions Here and In

There are S,1l9,406 organized work

10 statistics compiled by the New York
department OF labor. About two and
half millions are accredited to the
United States Eliminating the differ

American Federation Of Labor, the nu-

as 1,404 800.
While it is true, taking the official
figures as n basis, that trades unions
do not embrace more than 3 per cent
Of the total population, one-half Of the
wage earncrs In the leading Industries
Of the United States are affiliated with
labor organizations. This Is shown by
the total number Of actual wage earn

What Organization Gained For Rail-
way Switehmen.
The organizations of railway en-
ployees are among the most successful
of the trades unions of the country.
While much remains for them to do,
they have been instrumental In greatly
improving the condition of men Of their
calling. The extent of the Improvement
can be appreciated only by those who
know what were the conditions sur.
rounding railway employment twenty
five or thirty years ago.
One Of the most successful OF the
railway organizations is the Switch
mems Union OF North America. Frank
T. Hawley, president Of the union,
talks interestingly Of its history and Of
the progress it has made In recent
years, with consequent Improvement
In the condition OF It's members.
II have been a switchman for more
than twenty. years." he said,
"and IN that time I have switched in
every state in the Union. In my early
working days the highest pay for
switchmen In the Pittsburg district, as
an example, was S1.90 for twelve
hour day. In 1890 the Switchmen's Aid
association made a movement which
resulted In the greatest advance in
wages ever conceded to any body Of
railroad workers at one time before or
since. The increase secured amounted
to 80 10 per cent Previous to that
time switchmen were required to sand
up and coal UP the engines. Now they
are relieved Of those tasks.
"The rate Of compensation for
switchmen now ranges from 30 to 80
cents an hour, but believe that before
the snow flies in 1908 they VIII be re-
ceivlng from 45 to 80 cents an hour,
with an eight hour day.
"The dangers Of the switchman's po-
sltlon are not thoroughly understood.
1t Is fact that fully 65 per cent Of the
accidents that happen to railway en-
ployees on duty fall upon the switch
men, mostly because of the defects in
the so called safety devices. The only
hope OF improving this condition lies
In the power OF membership in fight
ing organization. The railroad corpora
lions in considering demands made by
their employees always consider the
ability of the latter TO enforce their de-
mands by strike"
