GRIP OF THE LEATHER TRUST
Apt Illustration of Manner in Which,
Trust Organizations Have
worked" Congress.

Representative William E. Cox re-
calls that two years ago the benevo-
lent leather trust became Sc solicitous
about the shoe purchasers lean purse
that in his behalf 1t magnanimously
pleaded with and lobbied in congress
for free hides. Shoes, boots and even
slippers were to be cheaper. The gov
eminent listened and, sacrificing ST.
000, 1000 Of revenues, put hides on the
free list. 1t develops that in doing
so 1t only diverted into the leather
trusts treasury the $2,00O,0 900. The
trust organization was not only strong
enough to supplant the government as
tax collector, but 1t has actually In
creased the price of its output.
This is only another illustration Of
that highly developed trust art of al
ways playing the game heads I win,
tails you lose" Mr.. Cox has wearied
Of it all. He wants shoes, boots and
other finished leather goods placed on
the free list. 1t is doubtful If he will
be able to get all this at one time.
but we should at least have free
leather as well as free hides, and thus
we shall deal with the leather trust
and possibly s~egregate it from its
closely affiliated shoe and shoe ma
chinery trusts and also get ready to
deal with them by letting down the
bars to foreign manufactured finished
leather goods.
The Britons have begun to develop
shoe and boot making machinery that
Is different from that on which the
shoe machinery trust has world pat-
ents, and they are beginning to get
some degree Of freedom. This coun.
try has always prided itself on its
superior shoes, but the Britons and
Germans are now closely copying our
styles and, though 1t would be CALLING,
it seems the time has come when we
shall be justified in importing shoes.
AS 1t is, we are in an intolerable pc.
sition which justiies almost anything.

CHAPTER vi.
Red Dawn.


Presently Amber rose and quietly
exchanged dressing gown and slippers
for his own shooting jacket and boots
which by now were dry, thanks to
Doggott's thoughfulness In placing
them lear the fire.
The shabby tin clock had droned
through 80 minutes since Rutton had
spoken his last word. In that inter
val, sitting face to face, and for a lit
tie time hand in hand, with the man
to whom he had pledged his honor,
Amber had thought deeply, carefully
weighing ways and means; nor did he
move until he believed his plans ma
ture and definite.
But before he could take one step
toward redeeming his word to Rut-
ton, he had many cares to dispose Of.
In the hut, Rutton lay dead of poison;
somewhere among the dunes the babu
lay in his blood, shot to death-foully
murdered, the world would say,
Should these things become known, he
would be detained indefinitely in No
komis as a witness-if, indeed, he es-
capped a graver charge.
1t was, then, with a mind burdened
with black anxiety that he went to
arouse Doggott.
"Mr. Rutton is dead, Doggott," he
managed to say with some difficulty.
Doggott exclaimed beneath his
breath. Dead" he cried In a tone Of
daze. In two strides he had left Am,
Der and vas kneeling by Rutton's
side. The most cursory examination,
however, sufficed to resolve his every
| doubt
Dead" whispered the servant. He
rose and stood swaying, his lips
a-tremble, his eyes blinking through a
mist, his head bowed. "rE always
vas uncommon good to me, Mr.. Am
ber," he said brokenly. FITS a bit
ard, comm this wy. 'Ow-'ow did
it" He broke down completely for
a time.
When he had himself in more con-
troll Amber told him as briefly as pos
sible of the head at the window and
of It's sequel-Rutton's despairing sui
eide.
Doggott listened In silence, nodding
his comprehension. I've always look
ed for 1t, sir" he commented. ED
warned me never to touch that silver
tube; . never said poison, but / sns-
pected 1t, e being blue and melan-
choly-like, by fits and turns-'e never
told me why"
Then, reverently, they took up the
body and laid it out upon the ham
mock-bed. Doggott arranging the
limbs and closing the eyes before
spreading a sheet over the rigid form.
And now, what. Mr.. Amber?" he
asked.
Mr.. Rutton spoke of a dispatch
box, Doggott. You know where to
find TT"
Yes. SIR"

began to nod, his chin dropping to-

The words were no more than whis-
pers dying on lips that stilled as they
spoke.
For a long time Amber sat unmov-
ing, his fingers imprisoned in that
quiet, cooling grasp, his thoughts
astray in a black mist of mourning
and bewilderment.
Out Of doors something made a cir
cult Of the cabin, like a beast Of the
night, stsalthy footsteps muf1ed by

In the emerald ring on Amber's
finger the ~deathless fire leaped and

same. . No; listen to me; I'm

Amber's hands.

tightening of his throat muscles, ma

Roosevelt and the Steel Deal.

Mr.. Roosevelt says that when he
was asked whether he would assent
to the absorption Of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company by the steel
trust the occasion was one that de-
manded instant action; that timidity
seeks xcuse for evading responsible
ity and deferring action, but that
whatever was to be done In this
cas- had to be done instantly, and
he did not.
No one will question the readiness
of Mr.. Roosevelt to assume any re-
sponsibility at any moment and to act
on the instant. If he does not love
responsibility he is certainly not
afraid of any amount of it, and he is
~undeniably fond of power. He loves
to act, and the bigger the occasion the
more he enjoys 1t.
In this case all that MI. Roosevelt
knew of the financial situation in New
ork was what he was told by two
representatives of the steel trust,
which would head off a rival and get
more than 5000, 900, 900 worth of prop
erty for about $780, OO, 900, and the sort
of property 1t most needed for estab.
fishing its power over the steel in
dustry of the country-coal and ore
deposits. The evidence so far taken
leaves 1t very doubtful whether the
substitution Of steel bonds for Ten.
nessee shares stayed the panic, and
not certain that it was necessary in
order to save Moore & Schley. Fur.
thermore, it is important to remem-
Der that the question Mr.. Roosevelt
decided was a judicial question. 1t
was whether the proposed absorption
would violate the Sherman law.

Rutton retained his clutch upon Am
ber's hand; and his eyes, their luster
dimmed, held Amber's, pitiful, pas
s~ionate, memorable in their ~entreaty.
Amber sat down, his soul shaken with
the pity of it.
"Ah-h!" sighed Rutton. Relieved,
the tension relaxed; he released Am

he pulled himself together. . .

Never mind-but remember these

with them, would be the equivalent OF

"Dhola Bakash Of the Machu ba-
Ear"
Trust him-and trust Doggott. +.

forehead.

way. . Some day you may
