COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
Governments must recognize
the riaht OF men collectively to
baruain for humane objects that
have At their base the mutual
onotection and welfare OF those
enuaoed in all industries. Labor
must no longer be treated as a

desires.
.-The business man gives his best
thought TO the repair and replehlsn-

1t was a short path before us and
became more clearly defined as we adj
vanced. A sharp turn brought us into
full view of the cabin, which stood
in small opening, built against the
sidehill, and so overhung with trees
as to be invisible, except from the d.
rection of our approach. We could see
only the side wall, which contained
one open window, and was One-rOom
affair, low and fiat-rOofed, built of
logs. It's outward appearance was
peaceful enough, and the swift beat of
my pulse quoted as / took rapid sur
vey of the surroundings.
"Sam," I commanded, "yOu are to
remain here with Rene, while I learn
The truth yonder. Yes" to her quick
protest, "that will be the better way
there is no danger and l shall not be
gone but for a moment"
I seated her on a low stump and
left them there together, Sans eyes
erOllfng about in frightened effort to
perceive every covert in the woods,
but the girl satisfied to watch me in
tently as | moved cautiously forward.
A dozen steps brought me within view
of the front of the cabin. The door
had been smashed in and hung dam
Cling from one hinge. Another step,
now with a pistol gripped in my hand,
enabled me to obtain glimpse within.
Across the puncheon threshold, his
feet even protruding without, lay
mans body; beyond him. half con-
cealed by the shadows of the interior,
appeared the outlines of another, with
face upturned to the roof, plainly dis
tinguishable because Of snOw-white
beard.
