THE ESCH BILL.

The Esch railroad bill has been
passed by the lower house of con-
gress If the senate would st-p vast
ing its time in a political fight over
the peace treaty there might be enact
ed a railroad law before the roads
are turned back to their owners.
The railroad brotherhoods do not
like the Esch bin any more than they
do the Cummins railroad reorganiza-
tion bill. They declare that the labor
provisions of the Esch bill ''are moro
vicious. because more subtle. than the
labor provision: of the Cummins bill.''
The Esch bill would make the brother
hoods liable for damages resulting
from the violation of CONTRACTS; the
Cummins bill would make it unllwful
for workers to go on strike.
The brotherhoci simply will not
accept responsibility. They will not, if
they can prevent it, bind themselves in
any way. 1t is well enough to hold
the roads to account. but not them.
They simply will not be ''shackled." as
they express it. If they could, they
would prevent all legislation at this
time. They request that the roads be
held under federal control for an ad-
diti, nal two years, and then they will
be willing ito acc vt the sober judG-
ment of the American voters as ex
pressed at general election"
OF ourse. what the brotherhoods
wish is the Plumb plan-the plan for
the naturalization of the railroads.
They realize that there is no hope now
OF it's passage; they are hopeful that
conditions will be such two years
hence that the people will be more
favorably disposed to the idea. But
why temporize with the brotherhoods?
Legislation is needed for the return
of the roads to their owners, and need
ed without delay And whatever leg
islation is enacted should provide for
the holding of railroad workers as
strictly to account as it does the own
ers. The time has come for the pub
lie to assert it's rights.

CHAPTER XCIV.

Everett came in with news written
all over his face.
What is it?" I asked the moment
saw him.
"They have caught the fellow who
robbed US that night I was away
Then I'll get my sapphires and
other things back!"
I'm not so sure you will. But just
before I left the office the insurance
company telephoned they had caught
him. The only disagreeable thing
about it is that you will have to ap-
pear in court"

the curtains.
James and Mrs. Gray will probably
be called also"
II shall be glad to have Mrs. Gray
with me-"
You didn't imagine I would allow
you to go without her?"
When Everett used that tone-the
one when he said ALLOW you"-I al
ways resented it.
1T took the insurance company a
long time to find him." 1 remarked
"Yes-but they got him. Had 1 not
been insured against theft, we not only
would not have recovered either the
things or their cost. but a criminal
would have gone unpuhished."

Everett was right. He was an old
offender, and SO received a long SEN
tence. I felt sort of guilty when
Everett told me, as If 1 were to blame
1t did seem dreadful to be in any
way responsible for locking even such
a thief away from every one.
We didn't get the sapphires. But
Everett took the insurance money and
bought me some others. L would
rather have had emeralds or rubies:
but when 1 said so, he declared the
only jewels suitable for my coloring
of Leoia-that he always bought her
the same stones-and it took all pleas
