FIFTY RESTAURANTS SIGN UP
WITH UNIONS

Besides the Thompson restaurants,
the Knab, Fitting and Powers restau-
rants have signed up with the unions
for a closed shop all the way through
their establishments, beginning jan
uary 1.
This means 35 Thompson, 6'Knab,
6 Fitting and Powers restaurants
will have union employees in all de-
partments. 1t affects the cooks,
bakers, mattresses and bakery driv-
ers' unions, and will add $50 members
to the Mattresses union.
1t means increased wages, union
working hours and conditions and
means good service in every way to
the public in the restaurants affected.
The unions are now naturally inter
ested in having this arrangement
prove beneficial to the employers
who signed up.

conditions. And, if we are to believe
the whispers that percolated through
closed doors, to wrangle amongst
themselves as to what they should
do or whether they should do any
thing.
They did nothing.
And judging from the record they
made last year, there is no reason to
expect they will do anything more
this year..
And judging from the record of the
United Charities last year there isn't
any reason to expect that they will do
anything this year except beg the
$350,000.
There is one municipal lodging
house in the city. That it has been
oVercrowded since it opened is well
known and has been well known for
a long time. The committee ap-
pointed by the mayor knew this last
winter, so did the United Charities,
but no new municipal lodging houses
were opened. &c..

awakened to the fact that committees
appointed to investigate, and
United Charities, whose purpose it is
to give statistical relief" only that
they may exploit in order to get more
funds, are worse to lean on than a
man with a wooden leg and the other
leg broken at the knee, there will be
the same hue and cry every winter,
the same begging campaigns and the
same talk-fests that accomplish
nothing.
DR.. Johnston Myers, pastor OF En-
manuel Baptist Church, has offered
the first practical suggestion for the
housing of the unemployed this win

cannot but wonder why the militia

much kindness to a medical inferno,
who orders him to show his tongue.
The applicant is otherwise made to
feel certain discipline, so that next
day he elects he has had enough and
does not return if he can help it."
Let the committee advise the
mayor and the city council to follow
the suggestion offered by DR.. Myers
and throw open the armories and the
Coliseum to the unemployed in the
city.
And perhaps the United Charities
might be made to see that in view of
the fact that it is collecting $350,0OO
by exploiting the unemployed, little
of this money might be spent in feed
ing them.
Then the committee appointed by
the mayor could go back to its talk
tests and enjoy itself without any
thing useful being expected of it.
If they won't open the Coliseum
and the armories, then let the kind
Christian ministers throw open their
churches, just as 1 imagine Christ
would do if he were here in Chicago

country where the babies used to use
a AS revolver for a teething ring
Some one around the angle Of the
doorway had cooked a pistol.
Survival largely depends on prepared
ness for the unexpected in the world Of
action. Warren Jarvis did not waste
any time investigating. He did not
care to make inquiries to be certain
that the cooking of the pistol had a
definite connection with his career in
this world
No; he began humming Dixie" in
the Care-free. exultant manner Of the
successful lover, and swiftly took in
the field of action. In a fraction of a
second he had planned his battle on
the stair post at the foot of the stairs
was an oil lamp. the only light in the
room, for the fire had died down to a
faint glow. He slung the overcoat
across his right arm, with his left arm
loosened something that hung under his
coat and across his heart. Then, still
humming Dixie" he walked down the
stairs without any attempt at conceal
ment
Just before he came within the range
OF vision of the doorway he leaned for
ward and dashed his coat against the
lamp. At that same instant he whipped
out his pistol. crouched and did a base
ball slide out across the stone floor, on
hip and shoulder, his eyes turned to-
ward the door.
There was a flash and a roar and a
mans figure outlined against the moon
light and then almost as quickly as the
two shots had sounded in the hotel the
Kentuckian's revolver spoke twice
There was an oath. a cry of "Sancta
Maria" and a heavy fall
And Warren Jarvis walked quickly out
into the moonlit yard still humming
Dixie"

LAYING the Ghost

The moon had sunk just below the
rim OF the mountain wall when Jarvis
and Rusty. the latter groaning at every
jump, clattered up that last reach OF
the old road TO the castle
Desecrated by the bright Spanish sun
light, the old castle would have moved
one to pity as would the sight of a
broken-dowu warrior In the rich moon
light. softened and hallowed the state
ly sweep of its walls and the but stag
naut wastes of the moat, and the long
tendrils of vapor curled and crept out
like the stealthv arms of cold and evil
spirits, enfoIding and chilling the heart
and welcoming all who dared the walls
TO an embrace Of death. And some
where within an owl cried out an I'M
canny warning. like tocsin summoning
the legions of darkness TO meet the rash
invader.
