Brotherhoods Are Going to Make Strong Fight on the
 Presidents Programme
SPECIAL SESSION IS
 BECOMING PROBABLE
If Solution of Problem Is Not Ac- ,mplished by March 1 Mem bers Thinks They Will
 Be Held
By HIGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, January 1.-(Special) Members of Congress arriving tonight to resume the session tomorrow predict that on account of the necessity of preparing to meet the preparedness deficit in 1918. in forcing through the Presidents antistrike programme, there would be an extra session, beginning March ,.
 It is now the consensus of opinion that instead of again taxing the breakfast table. the administration will agree to an issuance of Panama canal bonds, thus re- quiring posterity to meet obligations in oidenta1 to a preparation for war. The struggle for revenue, though it does prom ise to be interesting and prolonged, would be insignificant, it is predicted, in com parison with that against the politicians representing labor. The President. in view of the failure of labor and capital to compose their own differences is again insistent that a law be enacted requiring an investigation before the precipitation of legal strike. Labor, which rejoiced in September, when the President forced Congress to give it what it demanded, is now on the warpath demanding the scalp of the President. This battle not one for capital or labor. but for the protec- ton of the people, chief sufferers as a result of industrial cataclysms, promises to transcend in it's fury all others fought ont during this administration.

Haltren bent to his oars again. Then
a young man in dripping white hannels
looked out of the wheel-house and
hailed him. We've grounded on the
meadows twice. If you know the chan
mel you'd better come aboard and
take the wheel"
Haltren, already north of the inlet
and within the zone of safety, rested
on his oars 8 second and looked back,
listening. Very far away he heard
the deep whisper of death.
On board the launch the young
man at the wheel heard it, too; and
he hailed Haltren In a shaky voice:
81 wouldn't ask you to come back,
but there are women aboard. Can't
you help us2"
''All right" said Haltren-
A horrible white glare broke out
through the haze; the solid vertical
torrent of rain swayed, then slanted
eastward.
A wave threw him alongside the
launch; he scrambled over the low
rail and ran forward, deafened by the
din. A woman In oilskins hung to
the companion-rail; he saw her white
face as he passed. Haggard, staggering,
he entered the wheel-house, where the
young man In dripping hannels seized
his arm, calling him by name Hsltren
pushed him aside.
''Give me that wheel, Darrov," he
said, hoarsely- Ring fulls peed aheadi

He turned his head and stared at
the whitecaps tumbling along the
deadly raceway; and he almost dropped
his oars In establishment to see q gaso-
ine-launch battling for safety Just
north of the storm-swept channel.
What was a launch doing in this
forsaken end OF the earth2 And the
next instant developed the answer.
Out at sea, beyond the outer bar, a
yacht, wallowing like a white whale,
was staggering towards the open ocean:
He saw all this in a hash-saw the
dunes, the launch struggling across
the inlet, the yacht plunging seaward.
Then In the endless palm forests the
roar deepened. Flashl Bangl
lightning and thunder were stimuli
taneOus.
'That's better" said Haltren, hang
ing to his oars; there's q fighting
chance now"
The rain came, beating the waves
down, seemingly, for a moment,
beating out the wind itself. In the
partial silence the sharp explosions
of the gasoline-engine echoed like
volleys of pistol-shots; and Haltren
half rose In his pitching boat, and shout
ed: Launch ahoyI Run under the
the lee shore. There's a hurricane
comingl You haven't a second to
Iosel"
He heard somebody aboard the
launch say, distinctly, There's q
Florida cracker alongside who says
hurricane Is about due" The shril
roar of the rain drowned the voice.

of rafting rushes and dead
marsh-grass. A dull light grew through
the scudding clouds, then faded as the
midday sun went out in the smother,
leaving an ominous red smear overhead.
Gun IN hand, Haltren stood up
among the reeds and inspected the
landscape. Already the fish-crows
cans had left the sand-bar, the eagles
were gone from beach and dune. High
In the thickening sky wild ducks passed
over Flyover Point and dropped into
the sheltered marshes among the
cypress.
AS Haltren stood undecided, watch
ing the ruddy play of lightning, which
came no nearer than the horizon, q
squat struck the lagoon. Then, amid
water, deep sound grew-the roar of
the wind in the wilderness. The
solemn paeon swelled and died away
as thunder dies, leaving the air tremu-
lous.
"Pd better get out of this" said
Haltren to himself. He felt for the
breech of his gun, unloaded both
ridges.
Eastward, between the vast salt
river and the ocean, the dunes were
smoking like win flashed breakers; a
heron, laboring heavily, tapped inland,
broad pinions buffeting the gale
Something's due to happen, said
Haltren, rehectively, closing the breech
of his gun. He had hauled his boat
up an aligator-slide; now he showed
1t of the same way, and pulling up
hip-boOts, waded out, laid his gun in
the stern, threw cartridge-sack and a
dozen dead ducks after 1t, and embarked
among the raft of wind-tossed wooden
decoys.
There were twoseore decoys bobbing
outside the point. Before he had
fshed up a dozen on the blade of
his oar a heavier squat struck the
lagoon, blowing the boat out into the
river. He had managed to paddle
back and had secured another brace
of decoys, when a violent gale caught
him broadside, almost capsizing him.
If l don't get those decoys now l
never SHALL" he muttered, doggedly
iabbing about with extended oar.
But he never got them; for at that
moment a tropical hurricane, still
In its infancy, he managed to jam the
oars into the oar-locks, his boat was
half mile out and still driving.
For a week the wind had piled the
lagoons and lakes south of the Matanzas
full of water, and now the waves
sprang up, bursting into menaeing
shapes, knocking the boat about VIC
iously. Haltren turned his unquiet
eyes towards a streak of green water
ahead.
EI don't suppose this catspaw is
really trying to drive me out of Coquina
Inletl" he said, peevishly; 81 don't
suppose Pm being blown out to sea"
It was a stormy end for a days
pleasure-yet curiously appropriate,
too, for 1t was the fourth anniversary
of his wedding lay; and the storm that
followed had blown him out into the
waste corners of the world.
Perhaps something of this idea came
into his head; he laughed q disagree
able laugh and fell to rowing.
The red lightning still darted along
the southern horizon, no nearer; the
wilderness of water, of palm forests,
of jungle, of dune, was bathed in 3
siekly light; overhead oceans of clouds
tore through a sombre sky.
After a while he understood that
he was making no Roadway; then he
saw that the storm was shaping his

razor-back after freshet.
Twenty minutes later the sun came
out; the waters of the lagoon turned

southeast stirred the palmetto frOnds-

A PRoPAGAND1sT OF MERIT

A writer in the Mcdowell Timer
gives us very intelligent insight into
the activities Of Commissioner of Agri-
culture James H. Stewart. who. he de-
clares. is looming up as the most ma
terial factor in the progressive strides
West Virginia Is making to-day. This
all comes from the able manner IN
which he is conducting a propaganda
which looks to the State being able
to feed itself at an early day. In this
Commissioner Stewart is insistently
turning the minds Of the people to-
wards agriculture the absolute neces'
sity Of not only getting back to the
farm but improving the waste lands
Of the State.
There IL some truth IN the observa'
ton that the people have gone mad
over the production of coal, and have
neglected farming for the higher pro-
fits to be taken out of coal. And the
same may be said Of the craze for oil
wealth, which has resulted In deserted
