A lackey bowed profoundly
from the doorway. He said,
Baron Tarnau's homage, Your
Majesty! His Excellency wishes
to know if he could be granted
an audience. He"

"Tarnau be- Tell him when /

The 1ackey withdrew staring,
and King Louis Ferdinand
dropped down into the arm
chair behind his big table, and
covered his face with his hands.
"Jovel" he said after a little.
"My-nerves are in a bad way"
II wish / could help!" the
girl cried softly. "Oh, 1 wish l

King. He rose again to his feet
and began to move restlessly
about the room. IF only /

midway in his sentence, for
again there came a rapping at
the door. He swallowed once
and called out, Come in!"
The same lackey spoke from
the doorway.
"A gentleman, Your Majesty,
Just arrived from the Vienna
train"
The King stood still beside
the writing table, and his face
was white. He said in a steady
voice, "Show the gentleman in;
and close the door behind him"
He looked toward Lady Mary
Chalmers, and she moved into
one of the deep window en-
brasures, where she was hidden
from sight.
The messenger entered, a man
of middle age, in travelling

thought, his hand stirring
slowly among the Uttered pa
pers which lay upon the big
writing table. But presently
he seemed to wake from his
apathy with a quick sigh. He
pulled open a drawer of the
table, and from out it drew
pistol. He laid this among the
heap of papers in such a way
that it was hidden from sight,
and then turned back into the
room, as the lackey announced
from the doorway:
His Royal Highness Prince
KARL"
The Kings younger brother
was a man of seven or eight and
twenty, but he looked younger.
He was a handsome lad, quick
eyed and bright skinned. He
had a look of his mother. He
said, Want to see me, Louis?".
The King said, Yes" and,
as Prince Karl came down the
room, passed him and went to
the door. To the servant who
stood there he said:
You need not wait in the
anteroom. Go out and close
the door. Let no one into the
anteroom.
The lackey bowed.
Il do not wish to be inter-
rupted for an hour" the King
said. I'm an hour, come and
knock at the door"
The man bowed and went
away, and the King locked the
door and put the key into his
pocket. Prince Karl was light
ing a cigarette at the other end
of the room, and had neither
heard nor seen. But when the
elder man turned to him he
threw away his match and gave
a little amused laugh.
Well, Louis" he said
lightly, "still for fighting? Or
are you ready to retire with
honor?"

THE BATTERED TEAPON
IN VERY Dad SHAPE
The Fight of the United Typo
thetae of America on the
!. T. u. a. Lost One.
The Printers Have Won a
Glorious Fight With Credit
to Themselves.

Reports from the battlefields where
the eight-hour fight is still being
waged continue to bring accounts Of
victories for the printers. One after
another the Typothetae shops are sue
cumbing; one by one the ranks of the
Typothetae are being thinned. The
fire has been too hot for the Teapot.
Its spout is twisted, its coppered bot
tom full Of holes, it's handle bent. the
lid Is off, and all the steam has
blown, says Justice Of Cleveland.
The Teapot entered the battle with
flying colors. 1t intended to make the
battle sharp and decisive. The I. T.
U. was filled with more or less trepida
ton. The Teapot was in a position
from which it could withdraw when
ever confronted with defeat without
the loss Of much prestige or many of
it's members. The I. T. U. realized
that once engaged in battle in meant
the life or death of the organization.
The ends for which the opposing
forces fought were dissimiliar, the
Teapot withheld that which it could
yield at any time without serious in
jury to itself, the I. T. U. was in a
position from which it could not re-
cede; it must advance and gain the
eight-hour. day which the Teapot with
held or be cut to pieces. The I. T. u.
had burned it's bridges behind tit
must go forward. The leaders Of the
Teapot were oversanguine and UNDER
estimated the strength Of the I. T. u,
otherwise they would have made peace
without entering this destructive bat
tie. The tide of the battle has gone
to the l. T. U. because it's members
have been fighting for principle, fight
ing for the preservation Of their or
ganization, fighting the battle Of all
the workers-f1ghting for the eight
hour day and their life.

UNIONS ARE HANDED A
NICE RICH JUICY LEMON
Trust Interests Try to Make Be-
ieve That Labor Wants Ship
Subsidy Bill.
Gompers Exposes the Plot-After
Investigation Finds Petition
Was Forged.

Washington D. c., JAM 10.-Almost
coincident with the announcement that
President Roosevelt is preparing
special message to Congress on the
ship subsidy bill comes the charge
from President Gompers of the Amer
team Federation Of Labor, who says
promoters of ship subsidy legislation
form a ship subsidy "gang" and that
they have been guilty Of forgery, de-
ception and bribery.
In making this declaration in the
current issue of the American Fed
eratfonist, President Gompers presents
documents from T. F. Flynn, general
organizer, Of Cleveland, o.; to prove
that man from the Rockefeller build
ing in Cleveland directed the opera
lions that resulted in sending out to
organized labor a letter In the name
Of the Trades Council of New York,
endorsing the pending measure and in
volking influence to secure it's pas
sage.
President Gompers explains that it
was through this letter that petitions
favoring this legislation were recently
presented to the House Of Representa-
tives by Speaker Cannon, much to the
open amusement Of the members who
know of labor's opposition to the
charges; that the letter head on which
the appeal was printed is counter
felt, the name of the secretary forged
and the subject matter Of the letter
never authorized by the organization.
In all our country" says President
Gompers, there Is not a more corrupt
gang than the well-known coterie who
are engaged in the scheme to promote
ship subsidy legislation. It is their
business to conduct news bureaus so
that every ingenious argument which
can be invented may reach the public
to create a public sentiment in favor
Of the scheme.
At the last meeting Of the Central
Labor Union Of this city copy of
the forged letter was read and on mo-
ton was endorsed and ordered sent
to Speaker Cannon. A day or so later.
however, President Walker, acting on
advice from Samuel Gompers wrote
Speaker Cannon withdrawing the en-
dorsement Of the local Central Body.

WANT OLD CITY HALL
As TEMPLE Of LABOR
Minneapolis Unions Propose to
Purchase Building for
Union Labor Halls.
Trades Council Committee is
Investigating Matter and
Money May Be Raised.

Minneapolis, Jan. 10.-The Trades
and Labor Council of this city is max
ing another attempt to get possession
of the old city hall near bridge square
in this city. When the city offices
were transferred to the new city hall
the old building was leased to the
salvation army. That organization is
now tired of it's bargain and it is said,
is willing to give up the building. "A
number of >unon labor men, after in
vestigation, have decided that it would
be possible to get control Of the prop
erty.
At the last meeting of the trades
assembly delegate presented the
matter, and stated that he believed the
labor unions could acquire the old
city hall as a labor headquarters for
nominal sum. 1t was said that the
matter had been gone into pretty
thoroughly and that for $4,000 the
property could be turned over to the
labor unions.
After long discussion, the assem-
bly, appointed special committee to
take charge Of the matter, investi-
gate fully and report back to the
meeting on Jan. 16. For a long time
the majority of the unions have felt
that present headquarters are not as
desirable as might be, and some I'M
ions have refused to hold their meet
ings there. Delegates will report to
their unions Immediately, and the
project will, in all likelihood, be taken
up in earnest by every organization
affiliated with the assembly. 1t is
considered probable that the move
will meet with the hearty cooperation
of all, as it is conceded that new
quarters are an absolute necessity.
Official Labor Paper.
The special committee appointed
by the trades assembly some time ago
to inquire into the advisability of
starting an official labor paper to be
published under the direction of board
of control to be elected from the var
ious central bodies, reported at the
last meeting. A plan for the estab-
lishment of a paper was presented,
and the committee recommended that
weekly paper be established and
published under the management of
board of control, said board to be
constituted as follows: Three to be
elected from the trades assembly, two
from the building trades council, and
one each from the united union label
council, the metal trades council, the
painters district council, the carpen-
ters' district council and the electri-
clans district council, making a board
of eleven members, who shall have
full control of the policy and man
agement of the paper" =

Contractors Association recently held
a banquet and all the speakers de.
clared that, while the new association
would in future make all working
agreements with unions, it, was not
the intention either to reduce wages
or inaugurate the open shop.
In outlining the policy which will
be followed by the association Presi-
dent Grace said:
1T has been said of us by some
one, I don't know who, that we are
organizing to attack labor and en-
courage the open shop. Such reports,
I can say for all of us, have not one
particle of truth for their foundation
There is scarcely one of us that has
not arisen from the same ranks as
the men we employ. Our strongest
attachment, bonds of sympathy and
good fellowship are still with the craft
! and the men we were raised among
and I confidently state that the eff
forts of this association will be tt
