NOT AN ElGHT-HOUR LAW.
Recent HoId-Up Legislation Does
Not Shorten Workday a
Minute.

AS a matter of fact, it is not
an eight-hour law at all. 1t does
not curtail the trainmen's work.

engineer has been receiving S.
for working ten hours day, this
law will raise his pay to 1928;
but it will not shorten his work.
day even the tenth part of Sec
ond. This Is no more like the
true eight-hour principle than
chalk Is like cheese.
The reason why people call
this an eight-hour law Is be-
cause it says that in the case
of railroad trainmen they shall
get their days pay for the first
eight hours work, and all the
rest is to be considered over
time.
Do not tell me that this strike
could not have been called off or
postponed If President Wilson
had shown that he meant bust
ness. I do not for one minute
believe that those four brother
hood leaders started the blaze
going without knowing how to
put 1t out. One Of them adj
mitted that he could put it out
so far as his own brotherhood
was concerned, but that his fol-
lowers would think that he had
gone back on them If he we're
to do so.-Statement of Con-
gresham A. Z. Gardner.

freight train. When the train drew
near. Spike handily boarded the head
end.
Some moments later the hind-end
brakeman. sitting on the caboose, saw
a tramp in the door Of box car. The
brakeman started forward to investi-
gate and had he been able to see all
that occurred just a moment later, he
would also have seer the tramp cling
ing to the side Of a car of ties remov-
ing Rhinelander's name from the bill
ing card and substituting therefor the
name of Seagrue.
One after another of the billing cards
on the four cars of ties Spike manipu-
lated in the same way. In the mean
time the two brakemen, one Of whom
had caught a glimpse Of him, were
consulting as to how to get him. But
by the time they had made their plans
and were ready for a forcible laying
on Of hands Spikes work was done.
Watching the trainmen walk forward,
he dropped lightly from the last car
and waiting for the caboose, which
was empty, swung up by the hand rail
and went inside the car. He grabbed
the waybills from the rack box and ex-
amined them. Finding those for the
cars of ties, he carefully erased Rhine
lander's name from each Of them and
taking his time inserted S~eagrue's.
Having done what struck him as an
artistic job or these, he replaced the
bills and climbing into the cupola
looked outside.
1t was then by good fortune that the
conductor and one Of the two brake
men spotted him. To get back quick
they tagged the engineer-the train
was going at a pretty good clip-and
started for the side. But this suited
Spikes own game, for as the train
slowed he dropped off and the crew,
thinking themselves well rid OF a
nuisance, signaled their engineman
ahead.

asking her to find the real fact out
from the dispatcher. Helen sent a
hurry-up message and the answer
came from the d~ispatcher's office with
in a few minutes:
"Local will set put four cars ties at
Signal for R~hineiander's construction
gang. n. c. W."
Lyons, without comment, passed the
message to Rhinelander, who read il
and showed 1t triumphantly to Sea-
grue. Seagrue entered an emphatic
dissent. II don't care what those
boobs at Oceanside say" he snapped.
"Those ties are for me and you'll find
out / know what I'm talking about"
Fast words followed. Storm and De-
laney again eyed each other fiercely.
Then the sound OF a freight train pull
ing In started everybody in the DON
out for the platform. The moment the
train stopped the d%isputants crowded
forward, each side eager to reach the
conductor first. The conductor, a man
of peace, listened unmoved to the vio-
lent contentious addressed to him. At
length he produced the waybills for
the property in dispute. Seagrue got
hold Of them first. To his delight he
saw that, as expected, they read to
him as consignee, and he showed them
with an injured air to Lyons. Rhine
lander, reading the doctored bills over
Lyons shoulder, was COMPOUNDED.
Seagrue meant to let nothing of his
advantage slip for lack Of action. He
.whirled IN Delaney. Get our ties off
those cars, Bill, and do it quick"
Storm took a hand in. He felt his
side was beaten, but would not quit.
Hold on" he said grufly. Not yet.
This thing is in dispute. Take your
time" he added to Delaney, and a sig
nificant look lent strength to his words.
Again Rhinelander quieted Storm
down. Delaney began giving orders to

guarded eye On them, suspicious of
some counter-move, Rhihelander and
Storm accompanied Lyons and Helen
into the station.
Seagrue's men, crowding after their
triumphant foreman, gave the laugh
to the Tidewater gang, who stood with

Inside the Office q perplexed and
disgruntled group gathered around
Helen. She showed the dispatcher's
message to the conductor. Seagrue,
not to be outfaced, came inside to
watch the proceedings aud demanded

was all that could be got out OF him.
And Seagrue, declaring he would I'M
load the ties anyway, left the Office.
Once outside, he again spurred De-
laney to haste.
Storm followed Seagrue from the
office and once outside and away from
Helen he protested vigorously. Rhine
lander, behind him, told Storm to keep
cool. At that moment Delaney, break

FIFTH I%NSTALLMENT
THE FIGHT AT SIGNAL STATION

The operator at Signal station could
hardly have been more peacefully en-
gagged than she was at the moment
George Storm threw open the Office
door and paused on the threshold.
What are you doing over here this
morning 2" demanded Helen.
Looking for a job"
You might take mine," suggested
Helen, lifting her eyebrows in a pro-
fession of sympathy.
Whereabouts is that man Rhine
lander?' asked Storm laztly. Hasn't
he got some kind of q construction
camp around this jointf"
why, how stupid of me not to have
thought of Uncle AwSs myself" ex-
claimed Helen. "Oi course he has.
And he's sure to hare q job for YOU"
HE is sure" drGsled Storm, either

chance he aver Rad in his life to gel

train opposite Rhinelander's camp, and
without losing a moment she ran over
to headquarters. where she gave the
alarm to Wood and asked him to hur-
ry the remainder of the construction
gang Owe to the train before the ears
should be stolen again by their active
enemies. Wood, who would rather
fight than eat, responded like a whirl-
wind, and heading his men, started
them across the fields on the run for
the kidnapped train.
Storm had, meantime, dropped a
rope around Spikes neck. He tied
him to the engine can just as Helen,
with her re-enforcements. reached

Office, where he sent this message to
Seagrue:
Changed the two ties you thought
Rhinelander wears for two that suit
Seaarue.
Say, where's the nearest livery sta.
BILE in this place, mister" Spike asked
the agent.
He hardly waited to hear the answer
given him before he was on his way
out of the office. And without losing
a minute he got a horse where he
had been directed for one and rode
hastily away on 1t.
Helen, q few moments later, took
Spikes message to Seagrue. When
she handed it to Lyons he said he
would deliver It. Placing the dupli-
cate on file, Helen resumed her Gro
Chef work.
Passing the Tidewater camp, Lyons
saw R~hinelander, Storm and Wood in
conference ove unloading the expect
ed ties.
you don't need me over at the sta
tion." said Wood to Rhinelander. "Pll
send Storm with the men to look after
the unloading. I'll stay here with
these lazy graders"
Seagrue himself took the message
from Lyons. He read 1t with secret
satisfaction. The moment Lyons had
left, Seagrue called Delaney, his fore
man. told him to get the gang together
to unload four cars OF ties the instant
the local freight pulled in.
But in the interval the Tidewater
camp leaders, Rhinelander and Storm,
were not losing any time in looking
after the shipment themselves, and
they appeared together at the station
to get track Of 1t. Lyons, In response
to R~hinelander's inquiries, said he did
not know what the local freight was
carrying.

asked Rhinelander. And as he made
the request he showed her his letter
