Upon the authority of Gov. Joseph
NJ. Dixon, Charles L. Sheridan, adju-
tant general, announced that the Ma
tional Guard companies to be formed
in Montana will not be called out for
strike patrol duty. This statement,
General Sheridan said, was in reply to
charges made by opponents Of the
guard reorganization program.
Montana now has but one guard
company, that at Sydney, composed of
60 men. In the event that troops are
required to quell disorders, it was an

federal troops, calling upon guardsmen

It is capitalized for $1,OO0OO0. The
entire stock is owned by the Brother

that the maximum return on his capital
stock be 10 per cent and that all prof
its above that amount will be pro-

Reduction in WAGES in Britain.

Reduction in Wages in Britain.
The wages of about 100000 work
people were reduced during July, ac-
cording to reports received by the
Ministry of Labor and published in
the August issue of the Labor Gazette,
while less than 5000 received in
creases. The net effect of all the
changes was a reduction in the amount
paid in weekly full-time wages Of
about 91,O7OOOO.
Since the beginning of 1921 there
has been a reduction of about E2,84O,-
600 in the weekly wages Of nearly
100000 workpeople, and an increase
of about E75OOO in the wages of over
100000. The principal industries
concerned in July were coalminers,
engineers, railway servants, and tex
tile operatives in Yorkshire.

CONGRESS- May
RELIEVE idle
Leaders Are Giving Problem Of
Unemployment Grave
Consideration.
ACTION MUST Be IMMEDIATE
Delay, It Is Felt, Will Asgravate Con-
dftions-5eginnlng Of Construction
Of Public Works on a Large Scale
Before Winter Probable.

AS government officials continue to
shed new light on unemployment in
the United States, it is becoming more
and more apparent to leaders at the
capital that the question of finding
livelihood for millions of idle work
ers is one that congress cannot afford
to ignore.
James j. Davis, secretary of labor,
who recently informed the senate that
the number of unemployed persons is
close to 100000, indicated in his
message that conditions will be worse
next winter unless some measure of
effective relief is provided by the gov
eminent. Members of congress, too,
are receiving hundreds of complaints
about conditions from every section of
the country, with result that con-
gress may initiate steps before the I'M
employment conference proposed by
President Harding threshes out the
question.
The senate education and labor COM
mittee intends to consider questions of
unemployment Immediately. A resolu-
ton calling upon Secretary Davis to
inform the senate on unemployment
conditions has been offered. 1t is felt
that unless congress or the executive
departments of the government act
speedily to relieve conditions, the I'M
employed workers will increase by an
other million before the winter is over.
Numerous senators and representa-
tives have proposed the authorization
of public works, such as buildings,
road making and river and harbor inn
prOvements, as one way of providing
work for many thousands of persons
who otherwise would find it difficult
to obtain employment during the win
ter months. A resolution calling for
an investigation of existing conditions
by a senate committee, with instruc-
lions to report on what can be done in
the way of employing men on public
works is already pending.

"He didn't look like no Hunger to

But no matter about that-it's just
as thought. And I'll get 'em back
mark my little words"
In the meantime the best thing to
do was to move at once to his winter
trapping grounds certain neglected
region on the lower levels of the North
Fork. If at any time within the next
few weeks, Dan should attempt to
carry word down to the settlements,
he would be certain to pass within
view of his camp. But he knew that
the chance Of Dan starting upon any
such journey before the snow had
melted was not one in a thousand. To
be caught in the Divide in the winter
means to be showed in as completely
as the Innuits of upper Greenland. No
word could pass except by man on
snowshoes.
Yet if the chance did come, If the
house should be left unguarded, 1t
might pay Cranston to make an i'm
mediate search. Dan would have no
reason for supposing that Cranston
suspected his possession Of the let
ters; he would not be particularly
watchful, and would probably pigeon
hole them until spring in Lennox's
desk.
And the truth was that Cranston
had reasoned out the situation almost
perfectly. When Dan awakened in
the morning, and the snow lay already
a foot deep over the wilderness world,
he knew that he would have no chance
to act upon the Cranston case until
the SHOWS melted in the spring. So
he pushed all thought of it out of his
mind and turned his attention to more
pleasant subjects. 1t was true that he
read the documents over twice as he
lay in bed. Then he tied them into a
neat packet and put them away where
they would be quickly available. Then
he thrust his head out of the window
and let the great snowfakes sift down
the season that he loved.
He didn't stir from the house that
first day of the storm. Snowbird and
he found plenty of pleasant things to
do and talk about before the roaring
fire that he built in the CRATE. He was
glad Of the great pile of wood that
lay outside the door. 1t meant life it.
self, in this season. Then SnOwbird
led him to the windows, and they
watched the white drifts pile up over
the low underbrush.
When finally the snowstOrm ceased,
five days later, the whole face Of the
wilderness was changed. The buck
brush was mostly covered, the fences
were out of sight; the forest seemed
a clear, clean sweep of white, broken
only by an occasional tall thicket and
by the great, snow-covered trees.
When the clouds blew away, and
the air grew clear, the temperature
began to fall. Dan had no way of
knowing how low 1t went. ThermOme-
ters were not considered essential at
the LennoX home. But when his eye
lids CONCEALED with the frost, and his

They were not only enough to break
up the ring and send it's members to
prison; with the aid of the empty shell
and other circumstantial evidence,
they could in all probability convict
sert Cranston of murder.
For a long time he stood with the
shadows of the pines lengthening
about him, his gray eyes in curious
shadow. For the moment a glimpse
was given him into the deep wells of
the human soul; and understanding
came to him. Was there no balm for
hatred even in the moment of death?
Were men unable to forget the themes
and motives of their lives, even when
the shadows closed down upon them?
Hildreth had known what hand had
struck him down. And even on the
frontier of death, his first thought was
to hide his evidence where Cranston
could not find it when he searched the
body, but where later it might be
found by the detectives that were sure
to come. 1t was the old creed of a
life for life. He wanted his evidence
to be preserved-nOt that right should
be wrOnged, but so that CranstOn
would be prosecuted and convicted
and made to suffer. His hatred of
Cranston that had made him turn
states evidence in the first place had
been carried with him down into
death.
AS Dan stood wondering, he thought

ridges at the eve Of the SHOWS
The snow began to fall in earnest at
midnight-great, white flakes that al

1t was the, real beginning of winter,
and all living creatures knew it. The
pack sang to it from the ridge
a wild and plalntive song that made
Bert Cranston, sleeping in a lean-tO

and placed it out of the reach of the

and deep-lined in its light.
"Wellg he demanded. what did

"Nothin'," Jim Gibbs answered gut
turally. "If you ask me what found

swer."
"Then-" and Bert, after the man
ner of his kind, breathed an oath
"What did you find out?"
His tone, except for an added note
of savagery, remained the same. Yet
his heart was humping a great deal
louder than he liked to have it. Realiz-
ing that the SHOWS were at hand, he
had sent Gibbs for a last search of
the body, to find and recover the evil
dence that Hildreth had against him
and which had not been revealed either
on Hildreth's person or in his cabin.
He had become increasingly appre-
hensiye about those letters he had
written Hildreth, and certain other
documents that had been in his pos
session. He didn't understand why
