When Simon O'Donnell, president
of the Building Trades Council, heard
about Craig's attack of sobs, he
smiled grinly.
IF you want to hear a hospital
story, I'll tell you one" he volun-
teered.
Shoot" said the reporter.
Il understand that the employers
have locked out all of our men on the
new County Hospital. That's a fine
piece of business, isn't it?
AZ Two weeks ago we had every rea-
, son to call strike on the new hos
pital. The officers of the Building
Trades Council made few inquiries
and found that for every day the
work on the hospital was held back,
the lives of a dozen were endangered.
I'VE called no strike, despite the
justice of our demands, because of
the sick and dying who. needed to
be cared for.
Nov the employers have locked
out the men on the new hospital, and
by so doing are locking out the sick
and the dying among Chicago's poor.
Fine business, isn't it? Mr.. Craig
might spare a few tears to shed for
the people who die because they
can't get into Cook County's Hos
pital."
The lockout, in it's present extent,
probably will affect about Is, 900 men
directly, and another 10000 Indirect
ly; men like the teamsters. But at
present it has not affected anything
like $4,000 directly. No census of
the men affected has been made yet,
but the number locked out probably
is in the neighborhood of five or six
thousand.
The Building Trades Council meets
tonight, and plans may be laid for
the future.
I'VE don't need any elaborate

r~otty muff and cloak, she de-
cided she wanted to have Gedra
for a playmate. She had her
way. as usual, and Gerda was not
harmed by the ruffian robbers.
Instead she was taken home to
the robber retreat and slept on a
bed of pine needles.
But she didn't really sleep. She
just pretended, for she was very
frightened. While she lay there
trembling, dawn came, and with

"Now I like you," said the lit

to do something for you. / have
heard your story. I am going to
make this reindeer, which 1 have
had in captivity, take you on his
back to Lapland, where the car
rier pigeons say Kay has gone in
the sled Of the Snow Queen!"
Suiting the action to the word,
she heaped Gerda onto the back
of the reindeer and pushed them
both out into the highway. Off
started the reindeer at a terrible
rapid pace. On, on, on he went,
night and day. And every hour 1t
grew colder. The ground was
covered with snow. Icicles hung
from the trees, and the lakes
were covered with ice.
At last they arrived in Lap
land!
They stopped at a little hut
and went in. An old woman
greeted them at the doorway. The
reindeer knew her we'll. So he
went over and whispered in her
ear.
What do you think he asked?
Why, he begged her to direct

and downstairs, into big, splendid
rooms, along corridors where
wonderful pictures hung, went
the little Gerda.
But where was Kay? Had she
come so far only to be disap-

No. At last she opened a door
and peeped into a spacious room
where some one was sitting in
the middle of the floor.
Was it Kay?
