THE EVENING STORY.
THOSE WHO RECEIVE.
(copyrirht, 1915, BY W. werner.)

Hannah LAidlaw was late. She came
in with such futter Of haste that she
| created . breeze as she made her way
across the room and sank down beside
| Mrs Roger Hilton. Somebody was
reading something. but Mrs. Hilton's
hand grasped Hannah's warmly From
all about her she received smiles Of
greeting.
It was the May meeting Of the wom-
ans club. and because the afternoon
was fine most Of the members were
present. Hannah looked about her
with enjoyment The hostess. Mrs.
Cobb Clarke. . regal, frosty haired
! woman. had on . new gown of black.
with some Of her priceless lace at
throat and wrists. Mrs. Roger Hilton
and Miss Norman had just returned
from the city with expensive new tai
lored suits and hats. Every woman
was dressed freshly and appropriately
Hannah alone was badly clad. Her
gown was old and made over-a black
serge, which had never been either be-
coming or well fitting. Her plain
black straw hat was Of unfashiona BILE
shape. Her gloves were mended and
linked. Both her little shabby shoes
had cost less than one Of Mrs. Hiltons
Yet Hannah herself shone in this
set in unsightly mold. She was grow
j ing pretty as she grew old. Her heavy
hair waved charmingly about her deli
cate, tinted face. She had childish vfo-
let eyes and a lovable mouth There
was a sweet grace about her, an eager
ness. a certain young enthusiasm that
many women Of half her age had out
worn. 1t stirred the tagged spirits of
her associates. If ono read a paper or
sang or played or made a little speech
one knew that Hannah would listen ad-
miringly and be the first to applaud
And il dissension came;-as 1t some
times did-Hannahs sweet voice would
fall like a delightful harmony upon tho
discord and quell 1t.
She had many friends. No one could
be anything but friendly to Hannah
Laidlaw. She was invited everywhere
She belonged to every club and was an
active member: her dues were always
remitted or paid by some one else. No
one commented on her clothes or ap-
peared to observe them. She was al
ways being made the recipient of small
kindnesses and attentions
In her own heart she knew that what
she received was charity-not the out
spoken charity which goes into the
contribution box or upon the subscrip-
tion lisi. This. in truth. was of more
delicate kind. Yet it was charity none
the less. And try as she would Han
nah could not make it seem otherwise.

Defense of the Courts.

Daniel Davenport. counsel for the
American Anti Boycott Association.
took the stand after Johannsen and
told the commission that If employers
in Los Angeles lad combined to bar
out union men they could be prosecuted
and restrained.
THE courts of the United States,
said Mr.. Davenport. the Supreme
Court and the inferior courts. have dYpe
nothing to deserve the condemnation
which has been heaped upon them
here.
He reviewed several cases in which
lie said the courts had made decisions
which favored labor. The writ of
habeas corpus. he said. was always
available in cases where men are il
legally deprived of their liberty. He
argued At length with Commissioner II
D'Connell as to the respective rights
of labor and employers as to organiza-
tion. He declared that to accomplish
suggested reforms in the law it would
lie necessary TO eliminate the consti-
Jutional guarantees of liberty and
property.

Is Closely Questioned.

Commissioner Ashton examined

with the dyuamk'ers trial at lndianap-
oils, and his opinion of conditions there.
COMMISSIONER Weiustock also ques-
toned JohaNnsen as to the dynamiting
cases.
Commissioner Weinstock asked Jo-
hansen IL he considered that Ryan.
president of the iron workers. and his
associates in the dynamite case were
innocent men islilroaded into jail
It's according to what you mean ny
innocence I believe that Ryan and
his associates did nothing that was d
crime against labor or against a better
society. My conviction is that the men
lid not get the full benefit of the law
Speaking of the appeal to President
Wilson for pardonS, the witness SAID
The President has better social
viewpoint than most of the employing
lass. | wish there were more hke
MIN.
Questioned by Commissioner Lennon
Johannsen said if he believed an in
junction issued by the courts violated
mis- legal rights he would refuse to
sbey il and take the consequences.
Johannsen discussed the situation in
Los Angeles. Cal. where. he said, the
organized employers through a single
agent would absolutely refuse 10 em-
ploy union men. The employers, he
said. could prevent any man from Sc
curing employment III Los Angeles.
That situation, he said. was one of the
reasons for industrial unrest i'll that
part Of California.
