Without waiting to learn whether
him the four hirelings carried him out
side and threw him into a waiting au-
tomobile. Two of them were ordered
to return to the apartment and make a
search for the Casket, while the others
started toward the headquarters of
The Secret Seven with their victim.
Strong's Chinese servant knew some
thing momentous had happened. but
his Oriental brain could not compre-
bend what it was all about. He took
the casket out of the safe, transferred
it's contents to a box in his masters
room, slipped d single piece of paper
into it and put the mahogany treasure
receptacle back in the safe just as the
returning thugs crawled through a
window.
Wee See heard them and hid. He
open. One of the men, a character
known in the Underworld as "Chug,"
peered into the dark recesses of the
safe and saw something that put a
strange light into his large, dull eyes.
He seized the box, while the other
thugs brazenly went to the telephone,
called up the headquarters of The Sc
crct Seven, got Zulph on the wire and
reported success.

VILE" are going forward operations
toward the opening of Vermont's ashes
tos deposits, the magnitude of which
few people realize and which has no.
Yet found its way into print. The loca
ton is IN the township Of Lowell at the
base of the mountains and is at the
abandoned site of the "Chrysotile As.
bestos Corporation, in which w. O.
Gallagher of Lowell was a moving spir-
1t. This company was compelled tC
submit to the so-Called asbestos trust
and ceased operations and Developments
there after several years of effort.
1t has been recognized for many years
that there were rich deposits of cru (
asbestos i'll Lowell and Eden. Govern
ment reports have spoken very favorabiy
of the quantity and quality of the de-
| posts and many men who have investi-
| gated became convinced that there were
unlimited deposits of this very va liable
rock i'll the mountains Of this region
| but capital has been shy and competition
| from established companies sharp, while
the distance from a railroad made the
shipping very expensive. NeVarthe tess,

Better Understanding and More Prac-
teal Application of Get Together
Spirit In Industry-Must Eliminate
Trouble Breeders and Agitators.
A better public understanding and
appreciation of the needs and problems
Of our American industries is conceded
on every side to be one of the fmpOr-
tanL national requirements for the de-
velcpment of our future industrial
prosperity. Few people seem to I'M
derstand that the majority of our bust
ness men are fair minded. reasonable
beings, lCgitimatcly engaged in the de
velOpment of our economic resources.
In the opinion of our business lead
! ers this misunderstanding leads the
| public, through the legislators, into
! thOughtlcss and unnecessary acts of
reprisal against all branches of indus
try, which are often inimical to the
best interests of their own community.
TO cure this lamcntable condition it is
first essential that a closer degree of
cooperative action for the common
good be established between en-
Nlorces and employers The first step
in this direction is to eliminate the
selfish. destructive agitator. This hap
Dr event would greatly facilitate a
General get together spirit among EN-
Dl9vCrS and workers.
The Work That Men Do.
The nation is confronted with more
work than ever before-ships to build,
factories to enlarge, railways to COM
rlctc new foreign business to be at
tractod and help to be extended to the
Uuf1rtunatcS on the other side. There
are ubout30, 600 OOmen at wOrli;if they
work ten hours a day that is 100000
600 hours day or 96,G00000,00O hours
year If they work eight hours it is
74.SS0000,0O0. or a difference of 49,
720,O000OO hours a year. At eight
hours a day this means that about
100000 more men must be employed
to do the work that could be done by
the 100000, and where are they to
come from?
During the past year there has been
a unified and standardized banking cur
rency 4svSteTn tried and not found
wanting. But there are yet other steps
to be taken before the ideal of eco
monte unit is worked out.
There are GG2,000 stockholders Of
railroads in the United States. A large
proportion of them depend on the earn
ings Of the carriers for a meager in
come. Many of these stockholders
have less than 81 600 a year income,
and they are unable to earn more. be-
ing elderly persons or women. Thou |
sands of them are former employees OF
the railroads who depend upon their i
stock dividends to pay their rent and /
their grocery bills
