not De true, and thls 5trlke IS falr sample of all others. labor union is more absolute and merciless than the autocracy of Turkey or Russia. If their objects were devoted to helping each other in time of need without in- terfering with the inherent rights of others they would be commendable but that is not the principle governing them. We will and you shall not" is their unwritten motto. "The union men shall work and the non-union men shall not work" they say. To the em- ployers of labor they say: You must your business" Is such a position as that in line with our boasted free dom? Are we. Q free and independent people when one set of men can bar another set from the right to earn an honest living?
 What Is to be the result and the remedy for such conditions? The re- suit in our judgment will be that all employers of labor of every kind and in all sections of the country will units for seif-protootion and self-preserVa- ton and absolutely prohibit tho em- pIeyment of union labor In any form of industry in the Unted states, That will be one result and one remedy and another VII be that the stAtes-pss-

From the stern of the merchantmen

very much frightened, but with the re-
peated promise by Ellen that they
were going back to Portsmouth, she
summoned her courage and made the
attempt Ellen steadied her and in a
moment more Deborah fell confused
heap in the bottom of the boat.
Ellen, with her sailor suit, carried
sheath knife. 1t was a good thing,
for she had left her sword and pis-
tolls in the berth, where she had
taken them off before going to sleep.
1t was the work of moment to sever
the painter, and vigorous push drove
the little boat clear of the ship. There
were oars in the boat, which was not
too large for Ellen to row. She broke
them out cautiously and by few
slow, steady but powerful strokes, she
soon got sufficiently far from the mer-
chant ship to avoid any powerful risk
of observation. Then she shipped the
oars, stepped forward, hoisted the sail,
drew the sheet aft, seized the tiller
and bore away recklessly into the
night.
She knew exactly what had &C.
cured. Sir Charles Seton, or her hus-
band, or Lord Strathgate-although
scarcely the latter-had interested Ad-
miral Kephard and he had brought
the Britannia out to take her back.
They would be disappointed and
surprised lot when they examined the
ship and found her gone. Nobody
would be more surprised than worthy
Master Jeremiah Tuggles.
Ellen's heart exulted at her free,
dom. She did not know where she
was going,t what the course, nor any.
thing else, but she knew that they had
net caught her yet, and that her dis.
appearance would be great mystery
to them. She could have laughed
aloud in glee as the little boat feeling
the full force of the wind, rippled
through the black waters under the
black sky.
