Washington, Jan. 31.-Congress-
man Byrnes wants light on what is
known as bull pens" at munition
factories and today introduced a res
olution directing the secretary of la
Dor to furnish the house with all
available information regarding the
matter
1T is alleged" MIR. Byrnes said,
that during the last II months
many accidents resulting in loss of
life have occurred at factories en-
gagged in the manufacture of ammu-
milton in the United States, and in
many cases where lives have been
lost the facts as to the number Of
fatalities and the cause of such acci-
dents have teen> suppressed.
1T is also alleged that at some of
these factories men are herded in
what are known as bull pens and
from such pens groups of men, many
of whom do not speak and cannot
understand the English language, are
selected for employment and placed
in the factories without receiving
sufficient warning as to the hazard
Gus nature of their employment and
are caused to handle dangerous eX-
plosives, thus endangering not only
their own lives, but also the lives of
their fellow employees"
Washington, Feb. Congress
man Byrnes, of South Carolina, will
tomorrow lead filibuster against the
passage of the Heating child labor
bill.
Last week, when the bill was be-
fore the house, an all day fight was
made against it's passage by MI.
Byrnes and other members of the
South Carolina delegation, Among
those who took the floor in their op-
position were Representatives
Byrnes, Ragsdale and Nichols.
From an informal poll taken here
today, the bill will pass the house,
as it did last year.
1t is not known what the senate
will do with the measure, but strong
influences are at work to put it
through.

"How did you lose your teeth?" David
asked him at last. They were playing
late one night.
Hatchett sat up in his chair as if stung.
His eyes bulged as he looked at David,
and his pipe-stem clicked fiercely.
@Frenchman," he said "Dirty pig of
Frenchman. No use for 'em. None.
Told him women were no good-all
women were bad. Said he had woman.
Said l didn't care-all bad just the
same. Said the woman he referred to
was his wife. Told him he was fool
to have a wife. No warning-the pig
He biffed me. Knocked those two teeth
out-down. I'll get him some day. Flay
him. Make dog-whips of his dirty hide.
All Frenchmen ought to die. Hope to
God they will. Starve. Freeze
In spite of himself, David laughed.
Hatchett took no offense, but the grim
ness of his long, somber countenance re-
manned unbroken.
A day or two later David discovered
Hatchett in the act of giving an old white
haired, half-blind cripple of an Indian a
bag of supplies. Hatchett shook himself
as if caught in an act of crime.
"I'm going to kill that old Dog Rib
soon as the grounds soft enough to dig
grave he declared, shaking fist fiercely
after the old Indian. "Beggar. A sneak.
No good. Ought to die. Giving him just
enough to keep him alive until the ground
is soft
After all, Hatchett's face belied his
heart. His tongue was like cleaver. 1t

a king. For he was on inspection-C Com
pany inspection, mind you. Important.
A week later they arrived at Peace
River Landing, two hundred miles farther
west, and on the twentieth day came to
Fort st. John, fifty miles from Hudson's
Hope. From here David saw his first of
the mountains. He made out their snowy
peaks clearly seventy miles away, and
with his finger on certain spot on Hatch
ett's map his heart thrilled. He was al
most there!
MacVeigh, the factor at Hudson Hope,
looked at David curiously when David
told him where he was going.
"You're the first white man to do it,"
he said, an infection of doubt in his voice.
@Its not bad going up the Finley as far
as the Kwadocha. But from there
He shook his head. He was short and
thick, and his jowl hung heavy with dis
approval.
"You're still seventy miles from the
Stikine when you end up at the Kwa-
docha," he went on, thumbing the map.
"Who will you get to take you on from
there? Straight over the backbone of
the Rockies. No trails. Not even a
post there. Too rough country. Even
the Indians won't live in it.
He was silent for a moment, as if re-
flecting deeply.
"Old Towaskoek and his tribe are on
the Kwadocha, he added, as if seeing
glimmer of hope. "He might. But l
doubt it. They're a lazy lot of mongrels,
Towaskook's people, who carve things out
of wood to worship. Still, he might. I'll
send up good man with you to influence
him, and you'd better take along couple

the stem of his pipe and when he talked
it clicked like castanet
David had come at propitious moment
"a most "propichus moment" Hatch
EFT told him. He had done splendidly
that winter. His bargains with the In
dians had been sharp and exceedingly
profitable for the Company, and as soon
as he had got his furs off to Fort McMur-
ray on their way to Edmonton he was
going on long journey of inspection,
which was his reward for duty well per-
formed. His fur barges were ready. All
they were waiting for was the breaking
up of the ice, when the barges would start
UP the Athabasca, which meant south;
while he, in his big war canoe, would head
up the Peace, which meant west He was
going as far as Hudson's Hope, and this
was within two hundred and fifty miles
Of where David wanted to go. He proved
this by digging up an old Company map.
nAVID'S heart beat an excited tattoo.
This was more than he had expected.
Almost too good to be true. "You can
,oork your way up there with me, declared
Hatchett, clicking his pipe-stem. won't
cost you cent-not dam cent. Work;
eat; smoke. Fine trip. Just for COM
pany. A man needs company once in a
while-decent company. Ice will go by
middle of May. Two weeks. Meanwhile
have devil of time playing cribbage." !"
They did. Cribbage was Hatchett's
one passion, unless another was beating
the Indians. y -------

his cribbage pegs home. always trying
to put off poor fur on you for good. De-

less and tremendously
amusing to David. He
liked Hatchett. His ca
daverous countenance,
never breaking into a
smile, was the oldest
mask David had ever
seen a human being
wear. He believed that
if it once broke into
a laugh it would not
straighten back again
without leaving a per-
manent crack. And
yet, he liked the man,
and the days passed
swiftly.
TT was the middle of
= May before they
started up the Peace,
three days after the fur
barges had gone down
the Athabasca. David
had never seen any,
thing like Hatchett's
big war canoe, roomy
as a small ship, and
light as a feather on
the water. -Four power
full Dog Ribs went with
them, making six pad
dies in all. When it
came to a question Of
Baree, Hatchett put
down his foot with em-
phasis. "What! Make
a passenger of a dog?
Never. Let him follow
ashore-or die"
II his would un-
doubtedly have been
Baree's choice if he had
had a voice in the mat
ter. Day after day he
followed the canoe,
swimming streams and
working his way
through swamp and
forest. 1t was no easy
matter. In the deep,
slow waters of the
Lower Peace the canoe
made thirty-five miles
a day; twice it made
forty. But Hatchett
kept Baree well fed, and
each night the dog slept
at David's feet in camp.
On the sixth day
they reached Fort Yer
million, and Hatchett
announced himself like
as on inspection-Com-

a
inducement."
The man was half-breed. Three days
later they left Hudson's Hope, with
Baree riding amidships. The mountains
loomed up swiftly after this, and the
second day they were among them. After
that it was slow work fighting their way
up against the current of the Finley. 1t
was tremendous work. 1t seemed to
David that half their time was spent amid
the roar of rapids. Twenty-seven times
in five days they made portages. Later
on it took them two days to carry their
canoe and supplies around mountain.
Fifteen days were spent in making eighty
miles. Easier travel followed then. 1t
was the Goth of June when they made their
last camp before reaching the Kwadocha.
David looked at his map and at the
figures in the notebook he carried He
had come close to fifteen hundred miles
since that day he and Father Roland and
Mukoki had set out for the Cochrane
Fifteen hundred miles! And he had less
than hundred more to go.
He looked at the picture long time.
1t was the week of the Big Festival
when David and his half-breed arrived at
Towaskooks village. Towaskook was the
"farthest east of the totem-worshipers,
and each of his forty or fifty people re-
minded David of the devil-chaser on the
canvas of the Snow Fox's tepee
That night Towaskook visited David
at his camp. David sat in silence, try
ing to make out something from their
gestures, as his half-breed Jacques and the
old chief talked
Jacques repeated it all to him after
Towaskook left. 1t was a terrible journey
over those mountains, Towaskook had
said-a ten days journey. Many times
you had to go above the clouds. There
was one chance of a guide-just one.
He had young bear-hunter, Kio, who
was anxious to perform great feat,
especially as he was in love with his med
icine-man's daughter Kwak-wa-Pisew (the
Butterfly. Kio might go to prove his
valiancy to the Butterfly. Towaskook
had gone for him.
A little later Towaskook returned with
Kio. Kio would go as far as the confu-
ence of the Pitman and the Stikine, if
Towaskook would assure him the But
terfy. Towaskook, eyeing greedily the
supplies which Jacques had laid out alur-
ingly, nodded an agreement to that. They
would start the next day.
THAT night Jacques carefully made up
the two shoulder-packs that David and
Kio were to carry, for thereafter their
travel would be entirely afoot. David's
burden, with his rifle, was fifty pounds.
Jacques saw them off.
Kio turned out to be communicable
and rather likable young fellow He was
ignorant of the white mans talk, but he
was master of gesticulation; and when,
in climbing their first mountain, David
discovered muscles in his legs and back
that he had never known of before, Kio
laughingly sympathized with him and as
sured him in vivid pantomime that he
would soon get used to it.
Their first night they camped almost at
the summit of the mountain. Kio wanted
to make the warmth of the valley beyond,
but those new muscles in David's legs
and back declared otherwise. David's
blood ran warm with hope and anticipa-
ton. He was almost at the end of his
journey. 1t had been great fight, and
he had won After this he conld face tho

THE PUBLIC FORUM
JAKE LOEB'S WAY. - So lake

Loeb has entered on the stage of
Chicago life to act his reactionaTy
and primitive part in the shaping Of
it's destiny.
Just when the American con-
science is revolving against the
spOils system in politics he rushes to
the rescue of the primitive weapon
Of reaction.
The spOils system in American
political life has provoked the Tidi-
cUle of all European students, yet
Jake and his brainless satellites are
trying to reintrOdUce the old spOils
system into the management of our
schools. The object is to the kill the
individuality of our school teachers.
And as soon as that is successfully
accomplished, then the waTping and
the distOrting of the children's minds
in the most plastic period of life will
follow. Such is the Interior motive
of the present board.
If the citizens of Chicago allow
this hypocritiCal work to be carried
through it will be a sad reflection
upon our moral backbone and intelli-
genCe.
Let us analyze the mental attitude
of Jake and his friends on purely
psychological grounds and trace the
causes of their designs. AS dull as
Jake and his advisers are, they are
possessed of sufficient animal cum
ming to know that nature has not
endowed them with the necessary
mental quality to gain for them i'm
mortality. But as their souls yearn
for it with the same zeal as do the
aspiring souls of their intellectual
superiOrs, so they resort to the cum
ming trick of sitting the brains of
the children of the poor, and use
their ignorance to further their own
selfish ambitions.
Little do these intellectual misfts
understand the dynamic forces Of so
