Police Guard Back at
Pullman Porters' Club

A patrolman was stationed in the
club of the Pullman Porters' Associa-
tion, Incorporated. at 146 Hunter Ave
nue., Long Island City, last night, just
when all the clubmen had begun to
breathe easy again. For three weeks
after Inspector Ryan's detectives
raided the club a patrolman was sta
toned there and all the Pullman por-
ters couldn't get him out, although
they tried to get an injunction from
the Supreme Court to prohibit his
presence.
The patrolman was withdrawn Tues
day and the clubmen enjoyed their
intellectual pastimes free from re-
straint. Yesterday afternoon, however,
a couples Of detectives strolled in, un-
announced, and discovered a game Of
cards in progress, which the players
assured them was a purely intellectual
game called "stud." Last night the
patrolman was back on the JOB again.
I'VE was greatly surprised at the
appearance of these policemen" said
one of the most intellectual Of the
"stud" players. "They certainly did
come without no invitation from the
club. 1t was not our reception day
when they arrived and they was no
invitation cards which we had on the
table,"

derstanding that has existed for sew
eral years between the principal Euro

States that the relations of those gov

largely upon the attitude assumed by
the Washington administration.
One immediate effect of recognition

CHICAGO. March l7.-An almost
unanimous vote in favor Of national
strike in the packing industry was
cast throughout the country, accord
Ing to union officials, who began to
count the ballots tonight. Definite
returns are not expected before to-
morrow.

result of the strike vote have been
received" said Dennis Lane, of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and

formation from practically all points
that the sentiment seems unanimous

tiional officers to call strike in the
event that the government fails to
nave the packers return to a COM
pllance with the wartime arbitration
agreement"

OF Labor, at Washington, repeating
previous charges that the packers we're
trying to precipitate premature
strike and that they had threytened to
discharge employees who failed to
support the industrial democracy
plan recently put into effect by Armour
Mr.. Lane appealed to Secretary Davi.
TO use ms influence to prevent Ian open
break before the conference between
himself and representatives of the
packers and employees in Washington
on Monday. The packers denied both
of Mr.. Lanes charges.
Union leaders declared that they
would depart for Washington on Satur-
day and said that the only issue they
would present would be demand for
the restoration of the wartime arbi
tration agfeements which were can
celed by the packers on February 26.
These agreements were to have been
continued in force until q year after
the termination of the war;" the unions
assert.

men gathered in a hotel in Berne

time seize world power. The other
three, Hooking, American, and

scheme. providing another man, Hi

in. Capt. Hugh Bull-Dog) Drum
mond, a retired officer, advertises
for work that will give him excite
ment, signing "X1O." AS a result
he meets Phyllis Benton. a young
woman who answered his ad. She
tells him of strange murders and
robberies by a band headed by Carl
Peterson and Henry Lakington. She
fears her father is involved. Drum
mond goes to The Larches, Miss
Benton's home, next door to The
Elms, Peterson's place. During the
night Drummond leaves The
Larches and explores, The Elms
He discovers Lakington and Peter

Then he strolled sthrough the gar

that led to The Larches. Phyllis
The thought Of her was singing in his
heart to the exclusion of everything
else. Just few minutes with her !;
just the touch of her hand, the faint
smell of the scent she used-and then
back to the game.
| He had almost reached the gate.
when, with a sudden crashing in the
underground, Jem Smith blundered out
into the path. His naturally rucdy
face was white, and .he stared round
fearfully.
"Gawd! SIR" he cried, "mind out.
Ave yer seen it?"
"seen what, Jem?" asked Drum
mond.
"That there brute. 'Es escaped !;
and If e meets stranger" He
left the sentence unfinished, and
stood listening. From somewhere
behind the house came deep
throated snarling roar; then the
clang of a paddock shooting home in
metal, followed by series of heavy
thuds as if some big animal was hurl-
ing itself against the bars of a cage.
'sThey've got it." muttered Jem.
"You seem to have nice little
J crowd of pets about the house," re-
marked Drummond, putting hand on
the mans arm as he was about to
move off. "What was that docile
creature we've just heard calling to
its young?"
The ex-pugilist looked ct him sui

"Never you mind, sir; it amt no

A moment later he had disappeared
into the bushes, and Drummond was
left alone. Assuredly a cheerful
household, he reflected; just the spot
for rest-cure. Then he saw a figure
on the lawn of the next house which
banished everything else from .his
mind and opening the gate, he walked
eagerly toward Phyllis Benton.
