Ont of the confusion that has at
tended Industrial agitation and con-
fiict the past twenty years there has
come an exaltation of labor which So
ciety in general can rejoice over. The
term labor" has acquired Il distinctive
meaning and stands for regulated So
cial force. Grave responsibilities have
been placed upon the warriors assem-
bled under its banners. and they have
bravely accepted them. To the worlds
cry for help labor responds. Here
Industrial activities need no longer be
spasmodic or chaotic. Workers are
organized. and capital representing
the other side can have just what it
pays for. No pay no work. and no
work no pay, alike give the square
deal
In a sense labor has been CONNER
strange in commercial age. For in
stance. under the old way the farmer
"eked OUT by aid of his immediate
family. plus one outsider. usually
relative or neighbOr Extra harvest
work WAS swapped among neighbors
and relatives. Often the death or dis
ability Of one man upset the work on
half dozen farms. Now labor is on
the market at fixed quotations. 1t
must be paid for and the farm so ham
died as to meet the outlay. Thus or
ganized supply necessitates organized
demand. Labor puts capital on its
mettle Capital can indulge in no
idle years. Production must be steady
and feed commerce in order to be fed
by it.

t O'Clock in the managing
IA EDITORS room in the Advance
E1eeSl building Wheeler Brand and
V4EJ three other men. Howard
Hartley, jeff Thorne, staff reporters,
and Bill. their much browbeaten un-
derstudy, were industriously at work.
At one side of the office diagonally
from the managing editors desk was
a high mahogany desk which backed
against wooden partition which cut
off a small room used as a ''morgue,"
the place where newspaper and maya
zine clippings are kept for reference.
Through the partition a round hole
about five inches in diameter had been
cut with handsaw, and on table in
the morgue a camera had been rested
with the telescope protuberance con-
tanning the lens projecting through the
hole in the partition into a private
mail box directly above the desk. The
door of this box, into which were
placed letters arriving for the manag-
ing editor during his absence, had
been unlocked. A line of shoe thread
had been fastened to the door of the
box and extended down behind the
desk to the floor and across to the
left hand side of Brands desk. A
slight tug on the thread would cause
the door of the mail box to open, eX-
posing 10 the lens Brands desk, his
chair and another chair which had
been placed at the right of the desk
next to the telephone.
For several minutes the mysterious
preparations went on. Just what they
meant no one but Brand could tell,
and he was strangely silent, except as
to directing what should be done.
Hartley was anxious to make GER
tain that the lens aimed directly at

ner of the room from whence he had
been watching the final preparations
for the strange event that was to occur.
