on Cases Now Pending at
Washington.

Washington, Dec. Among the
cases soon to receive the attention of
the supreme court of the United States,
which reconvened today after the re-
cess over the Thanksgiving holidays,
are two important cases involving or
ganized labor, and, particularly, the
right Of worlSmen TO organize unions.
Both cases are from West Virginia in
litigation of the Hitchman Coal and
Coke company against the United
Mine Workers. its officers, and of the
Eagle Glass Manufacturing company
against the United Flint Glass Work
ers' union and its officers.
UNION HELD ILLEGAL.
In the United Mine Workers suit
validity of finding by Federal Judge
Dayton that the union is an illegal
organization is appealed from. In the
glass workers union case, the Eagle
company OF Wellsburg, w. Va, is ap-
pealing from a decree holding that
that union is not an unlawful organi-
zation.
The glasswori1 case has never
been heard by the supreme court. The
case o. the United Mine Workers was
argued last March, but no decision was
reached and re-argument before full
bench was ordered.

LEFT HIS INVALID
MOTHER AND HIS JOB
Could Not Stand the Taunts
of Girl He Loved and
Went Away to Gallipoli,
Never to Return to His
Australian Home.

London, Nov. 12.-(By maiI.)-A
white feather, streal<ed with crimson
by u Turk infantryman's bullet, has
been sent back to the girl in Mel
bourne, Australia. who stuck 1t in
slacller's cap There is no message
with it; the fellow who sent it guessed
she's put it alongside the casualty
list of Australians and drawn her own
conclusions. The Stacker has passed
beyond caring what she thinks.
The white feather incident occurred
about a year ago.
There was a young clerk in Mel
bourne, who had good prospects in his
job, the responsibilities of caring for
his invalid mother-and a girl. That
was load enough for his mind and he
had O hard time keeping the issues
separate while making out bills of lad
ing at the office.
TRIED TO EXPLAIN.
Australians were marching away by
thousands. Every day saw some of
his friends calling around to say so
long" and tell him significantly, "see
you in Gallipoli." Then they would
clomp away in their heavy infantry
boots to take ship for the war.
After a while things came to a point
where there was no more insiLuating.
People were asking him why he didn't
enlist. He would try to explain that
there was the job and his mother
and the girl, but 1t was no use. Plenty
Of others had broken away from ties
just as strong and had died fighting
for the allies.
This fellow had a conscience and
Imagination and used to lay awake
nights in a cold-swcat of horror at
having his face shot off. He would
keep out of 1t as long as he could. A
man depending on his personality In
business might as well throw up the
sponge If he has to &C through life
without a nose. or with only n ghast-
ly hole in his neck for a mouth.
If he could only be sure of getting
shot, say in the chest of foot; any
where but the face. But he couldn't.
Everyone takes a chance in war.
GIVEN THE WHITE FEATHER.
These things were worrying him one
night when he dropped around to call.
The girl met him at the door and told
him all bets were off till lie proved
himself man; she had three brothers
at the front. With that she jabbed the
white feather in his cap and banged
the door.
OF course he enlisted right away. A
few months later back in the reserve
trenches he received word that his
mother had died.
That night when the cunning had
died down to a minimum he opened up
to his companion in the dug out; told
the whole story in a regularly broth
erly sob meeting. While his romantic
imagination bubbled highest he dug
into the upper left pocket OF his tunlc
right over his heart, and produced the
white feather.
Next day he fell, not shot in the
face. but drilled clean through the
heart.
So the friend fishcd out the feather
now stained red, and lent 1t TO the girl
in Melbourne.

spiracy and the various outgrowths OF
