~ RUCE LARNIGAN and his
brother Tom, who had taken
10 up Bruce's work of exposing
the Vaccinations Of the mem
bers of the graft trust, headed by Stan
ford Stone, after the almost fatal In
Jury to Bruce, felt that 1t was even
more important to protect the public
against the extortion practiced by the
great grafters than it was to pursue
their own revenge.
II started just for revenge" said
Bruce, shaking his head, after Tom had
told him of his success in getting evil
dence against the coal trust. "But,
even If these men killed our father,
we can't let our hatred of them pre-
vent us from dong our duty"
They're not above stealing from
any one," said Tom. "And the next
thing to get after Is the distribu-
ton Of food and supplies Of all sorts
right here I'm New York. There's a
combination that absolutely controls
the movement OF every pound of
freight In the harbor. I'm convinced
that somebody I'm this combination goes
In for smuggling too"
"Now you're talking about Grant
Fisher, Tom," said Bruce.
"Good heavens! How did you know
that, Bruce? For sick man you're
mighty up to date, but It's not going TO
be easy to get any evidence against
him."

~ was Bruce ana Jack Stevens who
came to Gruen's instead of Tom and
Travers. But that made no difference
to Dunn's men and Gruen. They were
attacked at once, and Bruce was
knocked senseless at the beginning Of
the fight. Jack, stepping on to the
trap, fell into the cellar among the
lions. In horror, he backed against the
door, and it opened behind him. The
two girls removed the paddock just in
time and dragged him through, closing
the door before the lions could en-
ter.
But now the men who were to take
the girls to Molly's place came IN, and
Stevens, against fearful odds, put up
the best fight he could. The noise
brought the police, and Stevens and
the girls were rescued just in time.
The police cleared out the store above
as well and saved Bruce. But no one
could save Fisher. Coming to see the
success Of his plan, he fell through the
trap, and there was no one to open the
door for him. The lions made him
their prey instead Of Stevens.
Out at sea Tom Larnigan came to
his senses to see Monks evil eyes glar-
Ing down at him.

the 63rd Congress which took the first
step Of a series Of which this panicky
act is but the third step. The first
was when Congress obeyed the de-
mands Of certain leaders to exempt
lobor unions from the operation of the
Sherman Antitrust law. President
Wilson, not yet obsessed with the sec
ond term germ signed the sundry civil
bill with the exemption. Then came
the second step, the Clayton bill
which wrote into statute law the legal
exemption Of certain classes of citi-
zens-to be specific, labor unions
from the operation Of antitrust laws.
Here by law we declare that certain
classes are free to do acts which If
done by others would be criminal.
That was sowing to the wind and we
are now reaping the harvest. In a
panic in the face Of a threat to stop
all transportation unless certain con-
ditions are met by certain time this
Congress, the legislative body of one
hundred million American freemen
legislates upon doubtful constitution
al question, offers a remedy to avert
threatened danger that may prove
worse than the disease.
1.-THE abandonment of arbitration
when taken by the head Of our Gov
eminent in an official command to the
Congress sets a precedent against the
best possible method of settling labor
disputes, from which we will not re-
cover soon. 1t opens the Pandora box.
The action caused the President to
cease to be a mediator and made him
partisan dictator.
There are heard assurances from
Democratic leaders that Wilson has
'cinched the labor vote. Mr.. Com
pers in his ready-made statement
called upon union labor to support Mr..
Wilson. The average union man does
his own thinking, and the mere sug-
gestion Of a delivery Of his vote to
any man or party by any head or COM
mittee will not set well.
Then the two million union labor
membership is but small fraction Of
the great body of labor which will be
called upon to help make up the in
crease ordered by this law"

A WAGE GRAB, NOT
AN EIGHT HOUR Law

Washington, D. c., Sept. 22.-Hon
Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio. chairman of
the publicity committee Of the National
Republican Congressional committee in
statement here today fiayed the ac-
ton Of President Wilson and the
Democratic majority in tanning
through Congress the so called
Eight hour" law
Nov that Congress has capitulated,
the strike order has been revoked, the
threatened cessation Of all transpor-
tation with the possibilities Of untold
suffering by the innocent averted, the
Government temporarily abdicated and
permanently Inundated, 1t is not out of
place for the public, who must pay the
bill, to calmly inquire of the issue Of
the immediate future in the light of
the recent past" said Mr.. Tess.
ITO begin with the "Eight-hour
law" so called is misnamed and it's
I, title is totally misleading. This law
| is not a statute fixing the hours of
labor but it Is an increased wage
grab On Friday, September LIST,
Speaker Clark in ruling in the
House said:
"'Of course the Chair, like every
one else, has a great deal of respect
for recommendations made by the
President of the United States, but
the Chair Is surely not expected to
rule under such propositions laid
down by the President in that mes
sage. It might take six bills or it
might take four, or it might take three
In the bill before the House there are
two Of the recommendations that the
President made, and both of them af-
feet the question Of wages and do not
affect anything else. Critically con-
sidered, the Speaker might have cut
that message up and referred various
parts Of 1t to various committees, but
he did not choose to do that. It was
a hurried proceeding all around
This measure was born In fright,
fathered by fear. Graded in partisan
politics and carried through the final
action under duress. I do not believe
the history OF legislation furnishes a
duplicate Of such action. This in my
Judgment was the high water mark Of
National humiliation, If not degrada-
ton, as one member put it, as we'll as
the low water mark Of national honor
and dignity.
THE increase Of wages may be war
ranted. I do not know; neither did
any Of US know. Information Is nee
essary before intelligent action can be
taken. We did not have that infor-
nation and while there was so little
consideration given for the 80 pen cent
Of our population, could not foreclose
arbitration Of the dispute to vote for
the contention Of less than l per cent
In a panic.
This CONGRESS is not different from
