of question for the workers
to submit to them.
In order to enforce an ac-
ceptance of the reduced wages
IN these out-of- way places,
the Employers Association
on July 5 declared a lockout
against all the workers in the
three industries concerned,
announcing at the same time
that, if their demands we're
not acceded to, on July 26 the
lockout would be extended
to include SO, 600 men and on
August 2 to so, 900 men.
AS the workers could not
possibly recede from their de-
fensive position, these hare
decisions were carried out,
and on August 2, $4,000 men
and women were shut out
from work in such industries
as the employers could shut
down with the least injury to
themselves. These workers
were informed that they,
could not come back to work
except after an unconditional
surrender, and. furthermore,
the association empowered it's
officers, in case of necessity,
to extend the lockout to in
clude all organized workers.
Shese facts throw a lurid light
upon the woeful lamentations
of the employers over the
workingmen's ATTACK on So
GETTY" since they themselves
had planned the same kind of
ATTACK. -
1t was in the face of this
situation that the representa-
tive assembly Of the organized
workes was convoked. It
was now plainly to be seen by
the workers that not only was
the result of more than 25
years of struggle for a human
existence endangered, but also
the very existence of their
organization. They could not
escape the fact that the EN-
ployers' ultimatum was "a
challenge to a life-and-death
struggle.
In order not to be slowly
ground to pieces between the
millstones of the successive
lock-outs, the workers were
compelled to speedily resort
to the last and most power
full means of defense-the
general strike.
The general strike COM
menced on August 4. Not
only did the organized work
ers vote almost unanimously
to cease work, but even the
unorganized workers to the
number of not less than 100,-
600 went on strike with their
organized fellow-works. Still
more, a small organization of
workers, classed among the
"yellow unions" and kither-
to accused of running the err
rands of theNemployers, made
common cause with their tel
lows.
1t may consequently be said
that the Swedish working
people, almost to man, have
stood up in defence of their
organization and for all it's
high and noble aspirations.
Strike breakers are next to
impossible to find within the
ranks of the actual workers.
All rumors to the contrary
are fabrications.
But equally strong and
united stand the employers,
with determination to crush
the organization of the work
ers.

CHAPTER vi.
A SUNDAYS Mixed Affairs.

The faithful lima opened the door
of Glenarm House, and after had
swallowed the supper he always had
ready for me when kept late hours,
l established myself in comfort on the
terrace and studied the affairs of the
house of Holbrook until the robins
rang up the dawn. On their hint I
went to bed and slept until lima
came in at ten o'clock with my coffee
An old hymn chimed by the chapel
bells reminded me that it was Sunday.
Services were held during the sum-
mer, so the house servants informed
me, for the benefit of the cottagers at
Port Annandale; and walking to our
pier 1 soon saw a flotilla of launches
and canoes steering for st. Agatha's.
1 entered the school grounds by the
Glenarm gate and watched several
smart traps approach by the lake
road, depositing other devout folk at
the chapel.
The sight of bright parasols and
modish gowns, the semi-urban Sunday
that had fallen in this quiet corner OF
the world, as though out of the bright
blue above, made all the more unreal
my experiences of the night. And
just then the door OF the main hall OF
st. Agatha's opened and forth came
Miss Pat, Helen Holbrook and Sister
Margaret and walked toward the
chapel.
1t was Helen who greeted me first
Aunt Pat can't withstand the temp
tations of day like this. We're
chagrined to think we never knew
this part of the world before!"
I'm sure there is no danger" saiG
Miss Pat, smiling at her own timidity
as she gave me her hand. I thought
| that she wished to speak to me alone
but Helen fingered at her side, ant
that was on her aunt's lips.
I'VE are undiscovered? You hav,
heard nothing, Mr.. Donovan"
Nothing, Miss Holbrook,". 1 said
and 1 turned away from Miss Pat
whose eyes made lying difficult-tt
Helen, who met my gaze with charm
ing candor.

FOR OLD PEOPLE.

After reaching the age of forty the
human system gradually declines. The
accumulated poisons in the blood
cause rheumatic pains in the joints,
muscles and back. These warnings
should be promptly relieved and seri-
GUS illness avoided by using the fol-
lowing prescription which shows won
derful results even after the first few
doses and it will eventually restore
physical strength.

unchivalrous and unworthy of any
man calling himself gentleman. No
one so wholly beautiful, no one with
her voice, her steady tranquil eyes,
could, argued, do i'll. And yet had
seen and heard her; 1 might have
touched her as she crossed my path
and ran down to the houseboat!
She wore to-day a white and green
gown and trailed a green parasol in
white-gloved hand. Her small round
hat with its sharply upturned brim i'm
parted a new frankness to her face.
Several times she looked at me quick
ly-she was almost my own height
and there was no questioning the per-
feet honesty of her splendid eyes.

ears were at once alert.

She exchanged glances with Helen

SAN BERNARDINO, May 4.-One
dead and another seriously injured is
the result of runaway car on the Arl-
iona division of the Santa Fe yester-
day afternoon.
Trainmen lost control of the car
while it was being switched at King
man and ran down the steep grade
from that point rapidly gaining speed,
despite the frantic efforts of Conduc-
tor w. w. Sandidage and his brake
man, H. M. Barber, who stayed with
the runaway car during its terrific
dash down the mountain.
At MeConnico the derailer had been
set to throw the car off the main line
to prevent a collision and in the crash
which followed the car leaving the
main line Conductor Sandidage re-
ceived injuries which resulted In his
death. Barber was also bruised on the
head and body.
While the crew was doing the switch
ing at Kingman the car, which was
heavily loaded, started down the steep
grade. Sandidage and Barber both
leaped on the car and made every eff
fort to control it with the hand brake,
which was defective. Both men re-
NAMED with the car during its dash
down the mountain in the vain hope
that they would be able to prevent a
collision with other trains.
The news of the runaway car was
flashed along the line to every tele-
graph station, but it was not until the
car had nearly reached McConnico that
it was decided to throw the car from
the main line. In the final crash as the
car struck the derailer the. two men
received their injuries.

YOUTH SUPPOSED TO BE
KIDNAPPED FOUND UNHURT

SAN BERNARDINO, May 4.-As the
result of numerous telegraph messages
and conferences between the Redlands
police and County Probation Officer w
H. Baldwin the 12-year-old son of /. j.
Alexander, who it was supposed had
been kidnapped, has been found in Salt
Lake City and was taken in charge by
the police of that city when he stepped
from the Salt Lake Overland train
there today.
Alexander came to California some
time ago from Morton, Tenn, for his
health, bringing with him his two chill
dren. His wife refused to come, and
Alexander, after the elder of the two
boys could not be found, was firm in
his belief the lad had been kidnapped
and was being taken east to join his
mother.
The boy, it is learned, was well sup
piled with money, and, longing for his
former home, he decided to run away
and return.
The Salt Lake Overland train was
searched here last night in an effort
to find the boy, but it proved futile.
1t was thought that some one had
taken him, but he was found alone
when the train arrived at Salt Lake.

CITY OFFICIALS WILL
AID IN WATER FIGHT

PASADENA, May 4.-City ofncers 81
south Pasadena will aid the residents
Of the Lincoln Park district in their
fisbt against the proposed action or
the water company in that district
which declares, through its local rep,
resentative, Ralph Rogers, that II VIII
shut down the pumps and abandon It's
business if the city insists on cutting
the rates.
II is the opinion of the trustees that
the courts would maintain an action
against the company on the ground
that the water company is pubic
necessity. Private owners declare they
will bring personal actions for dam
ages to their property if the water
supply is shut off.
Mr.. Rogers has presented TO the
board of trustees a scale of rates,
which he declares are the lowest which
will permit the company to exist, to
saw nothing of making profit. The
water rate is fixed at $3.50 for the first
800 feet and cents additional for each
hundred feet used in excess of this
amount.
The rate in the Pasadena ordinance
which is now being studied by the
trustees and which the other companies
doing business in the city are willing
To accept, is 81 for the first 500 feet and
cents for every additional 100 feet.
