Amarinth hesitated an instant. He
would see the other man, he said.
He took the package from his pocket,
and as he removed the paper wrapping
he was conscious that his hands were
trembling visibly. As the necklace slid
on the mat placed for it he glanced up
quickly.
The jewelers. eyes dilated suddenly.
"Why!' he emitted in astonishment He
picked up the necklace and held it up be-
fore him where it caught the light fully,
letting his glance travel slowly over its
entire length. Twice he shifted his gaze
for an instant to Amarinth.
"Do | understand that you wish to
know the exact value of this?" he asked.
Amarnth nodded.
IL could not say offhand, of course.
That would require detailed examination.
The piece is undoubtedly very old, and
gem settlers, particularly of the oriental
countries, were likely to carry out color
schemes regardless of the quality of the
material they employed. Some of the
stones may not be genuine. May | ask
If it belongs to you?'
No. Amarinth returned tri1e un-
steadily, 81 am considering buying it-as
an antique. What l want to find out
is its intrinsic value, quite apart from
Its value as an antique.
The man gave short, odd laugh and
looked at Amarinth curiously. 81 should
say that its value as an antique is practi-
cally nothing compared with its intrinsic
value. All these larger stones seem to be
genuine"
"Emeralds and diamonds?"
"Ies. Ii they were recut as we cut to-
day, their brilliance would be multiplied
hundred times"
as it French?'
"French? Oh, no. The French have
never conceived anything so strong or
barbaric in style. Do you know it's his
tory?'
NO"
Once more Amarinth was conscious Of
surprised curiosity in the keen look that
covered him in an instant.
There seems to have been pendant
attached here at one time. 1t was broken
off.
Evidently said Guy shortly, holding
out his hand for the jewels.
The man appeared not to see the ges-

for you. l hope you will wait or perhaps
leave it for him. 1t is remarkable piece
from any point Of view. No doubt it has
an interesting history. AS to that also
Mr.. Stanislas could probably give you in
formation. Most of the very fine old
pieces have been described and their his
tories recorded"
when will he return?' Guy asked.
"Within an hour, possibly"
as Mr. Lozier here I'd lketo see him.
The jeweler despatched young sales
man for Lozier, who presently appeared
and greeted Amarinth cordially by name.
He was an affable. white-haired little man.

like to leave for your expert to appraise

"Certainly. l will give you receipt
for it.. said Lozier.
THAT won't be necessary SO long as |
leave it in your hands" Guy said, adding
as he turned away, "l'll return for it this
afternoon.
He hurried away. hardly waiting for
reply. His head was spinning, the blood
pounding in his veins. He drank in the

The one thing whic hemployers fear
in labor organizations is power. Pow
er is necessary to make these organ
izations effective. Some employers
have officially endorsed labor organi-
cations of the proper kind" OF course
the proper kind in their estimation is
the carefully expurgated edition from
which all evidences of power have
been carefully repressed. Such in
situations would be labor organiza-
tions in name only.
Only where organizations have pow
er do they have effectiveness in bring
ing betterment into the lives of their
members. Power cannot exist unless
there exist tn sinews and munitions
for sustained insistence upon de-
mands and rights. The power of an
organization is related in a very vital
sense to membership and to the dues
paid into the union treasury.
Those organizations which are Wig
orous and powerful to promote the

Must Know Everything.

Rochester, N. Y, Dec. 22.AThe civil
service commission recently held an
examination for the positio nof Jan
itor in charge Of steam boilers" and
asked each applicant what experience
he had in making repairs to boilers,
engines, pumps. piping, plumbing,
electric wiring, electric motor, brick
work, plaster, painting, carpenter
work, furniture and cabinet work.
Some members Of the Steam and
Operating Engineers union were in
favor Of notifying the, commission that
it had overlooked a few trades, but
the majority Of this local decided that
protest should be made against city
officials wasting the pepole's money
trying to find 12-in-1 craftsman.

the workers from wage reductions and
poorer conditions of work because the
power Of self-defense constitutes a
real argument against injury or pro-
vocation of contest.
A low~dues paying policy is not a
profitable or a wise policy for organ
lied labor. Indeed, it would be good
business sense to increase dues with
every wage increase 1.-THE wage in
crease was due to organization and
stronger organizations will in turn
bring other wage increases.
AS union. dues are increased more
benefits can be- made increasingly
helpful and can be extended in varie-
ty. These benefits can be managed
by the organizations more cheaply and
more satisfactorily than similar insur-
ance can be furnished by state or pri-
vate agencies. Assuring the unions
control over these benefits removes
all doubt Of such assistance In indus
trial disputes.
Labor organizations embodys an
ideal but that ideal must rest upon 8
practical basis II the ideal Is to be
come reality. The practical resources
to make any ideal reality depend in
some degree upon the financial re-
sources at command. The question Of
higher dues is one Of fundamental I'm.
portance to all workers, Il is q mat.
ter that must not be pushed aside. It
Is q matter that should be given most
careful and wise consideration. It il |
fundamental matter because. the
dues paid in large measure deter
mine the power which the organiza-
lion exercises for the cause of human |
welfare.

No Schools, Low Wages
Is Rule In Porto Rico

San Juan, Porto Rico, Dec o.
The island has had more than $15,000,-
900 of profits, and alas! the poor chill
dren have not schools, even books for
the schools" writes Santiago Iglesias,
A. F. of L. organizer. and editor Of
Justica, official newspaper of Porto
Rico trade unionists.
"The sugar corporations are actual
ly owned by body of al, ;entee land
lords Of great influential men who
look upon the workers merely as
cheap labor and stand in the way of
any effort to educate them or i'm
prove their status continues Iglesias.
these men are being helped by the
government and by large number Of
politicians and exploiters of the peo-
pie.
"The island of Porto Rico is not
now governed practically by the in
fluential institutions of the United
States but by reactionary element of
the American and Spanish type that
looks upon the workingmen as infer
for beings.
! There have been committed
against the people social crimes that
were unknown to have existed before.
Daring onslaughts have been at
tempted and carried out agaist the
aspirations of the people.
'fThe corporations have been given
all the power that could be given to
them to exploit the mass of laborers.
while all sonts of plots and ma
chinations are being contrived against
the poor laboring people of the rural
districts; they are being despoiled of
their land, they are abjectly down
trodden, beaten, villified and thrown
into prison.
I'VE saw men working on the sugar
plantations cutting cane, working and
hauling Is hours day, for 40 to As
cents wages. Several of the sugar
reineries have a system Of truck or
company stores, or, as we labor men
have designated them, 'pluck-me

40 or IS cents a day with little checks
for Is or 16 hours work, which
checks, of course, are redeemable only
