company's employees to act as special
police to guard the state line tower.
The railroad companies are said to
have some difficulty in replacing the
foreigners that have quit work. They
are loyal to each other and will not
take each others places, and the only
thing that can be done is to bring in
laborers of a different nationality
which would mean bloody war If the
strike is to last any length of time.

lived in his humble little home on the

this of each other while lips spoke

Judson Blake, sitting in a dusky
corner, watched curiously the faces

in the room who had known the dead
man intimately, and he was enjoying
to the utmost the singularity Of the

contempt; others, anxiety and super
