AS he spoke he flung open the door
and the count entered. 1t cannot be
said thai the atmosphere of the room
was cOngenial. The three occupants
were regarding one another in hostile
silence, ana as the count entered they,
with one accord. transferred their sus-
piciOuS Chances to him.
For moment he stood mOtiOnIess
while he looked at each one in turn.
Then he stepped forward.
"GoOd evening. gentlemen"-he still
spoke in French-'I am hOnOred at
your presence" He turned to the
head waiter. Let dinner be served in
five minutes exactly"
With bow the man left the room,
and the door closed.
"Durin< that five minutes, gentle
men. l propose to introduce myself to
you, and YOU TO one another. The
business which 1 wish to discuss we
will postpone, with your permission,
till after the coffee. when we shall be
undisturbed."
In silence the three guests waited
until he unwound the thick white muf-
fer; then. with undisguised curiosity,
they studied their host. In appearance
he was striking. He had short dark
beard. and in profile his face was aquI-
line and stern. The eyes. which had
so impressed the manager, seemed
now to be a cold grey-blne; the thick
brown hair. fiecked slightly with grey,
was brushed back from a broad fore
head. To even the most superficial OBJ
server the giver OF the feast was a
man of power; a man capable of form
ing instant decisions and of carrying
them through.
And If so much was obvious to the
superficial observer, 1t was more than
obvious TO the three men who stood by
the fire watching him. Each one OF
them, as he watched the host, realized
that he was in the presence Of a great
man. 1t was enough: great men do
not send fool Invitations to dinner to
men Of international repute. 1t mat
tered not what form his greatness took

money. And money was their life.

UNION LEADERS
To FIGHT STRIKE
FEAR GRIEVANCE COMMITTEES
WILL ORDER WALkOUT-9
OUT OF 10 VOTE STRIKE
LEE ADVISES AGAINST II
Trainmen's Chief Points Out That
Wages Cannot Be Maintained at
War LeveE-Workers Want
Strike, However.

Chicago.-If the $4,000 members Of
the brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
more than so per cent of whom have
voted to strike, are supported in their
demands by the grievance committee,
q strike will be ordered.
With this parting declaration Presi-
dent w. G. Lee dispatched 81 general
chairmen of the unions to their homes
with written Instructions to call their
grievance committees, get their ap-
prevail or disapprovaI of the strike vote
and report back here next week
That the grievance committees will ap-
prove the strike was predicted at union
headquarters.
Lee expects to act on the committee
instructions before the brotherhoods of
engineers, conductors, enginemen and
trainmen and the Switchmen's Union
of North America have completed the
count. The strike call, however, he
indicated, will provide for a walkout
of the trainmen when and if the other
unions strike. A walkout of one union
unsupported by the others will not be
undertaken.
That the strike, even if ordered will
never actually take place continued to
be the prevailing impression in union
circles While Lee has promised 10 call
the walkout if the committees so di-
rect, he bluntly told his men in a gen.
eral letter on September II that he
would be remiss in his duty if he failed
20 point out to them that wages and
working conditions established since
1918 were the result of a world war
such as never before known; that the
government reports indicate that g.
10000 men are out of work; that
nearly all classes Of labor have been
forced to accept some reductions in
wages; that the pay increases granted
them last year by the United States
Labor Board was based on the increas-
ed cost of living and that government
reports show a reduction of more than
Is per cent in such living costs.
The strike vote was taken on the
question of accepting or rejecting the
IL per cent wage cut July by the la
Dor board.
Tabulation of the vote has not been
completed, but the ballots already
counted showed from go to 95 per cent
of the men on every railroad system
in the country voted to quit work
rather than accept the pay reduction.
No system failed to return less than
nine out Of 10 votes for the strike.

Programme for Relief of Unemployed
VIII Be Laid Before Meeting in
Neutrality-suspicious. Well
Pleased at Results.

Washington.-Groun work for an
emergency program TO meet the needs
of the country's involuntary idle.
found to number between 100000 and
100000 exclusive of agriculture, has
been completed by the national confer
ence on unemployment
Reports of most of the committees
were completed and turned over to the
steering committee, which is to wied
the various recommendations into one
definite whole for action by the full
conference when it reconvenes. Quick
action upon the general emergency
scheme is expected by the conferees.
Adoption of a final report by the
committee on emergency measures by
manufacturers has been announced.
The report, which is said to con-
tain the core of the unemployment
problem because of the effect of the
manufacturing industry upon eco
nomic conditions generally, is under
stood to recommend the use of rota-
ton of labor. the shortened week, par
tial employment, completion of repair
and clean up, as some of the means
increasing employment. In addition,
the committee was said to favor an
appeal to the patriotic cooperation Of
producers, manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers in passing along as
rapidly as possible any price changes
occurring in order TO hasten business
revival.
recommendations Of the construc-
ton committee were understood to
regard the construction problem in
great measure as one for local action
because of the different factors exist
ing in various localities. Acceleration
of public works was said to be urged
by the committee on municipal meas
ures.
Discussion of the pending railway
funding bill for providing financial re-
lief for the railroads was said to have
consumed much of the portatiOns
deliberations in, the light
of the carriers ability to employ more
men. The committees on mining and
it was learned, were inclined
to believe THAI no emergency measures
could be suggested for those indus
tries in view of their dependency upon
general business conditions.
In making public its estimate OF
the country's unemployed, the commit
tee on statistics declared that the
steady Improvement which had taken
place during the past two months ne
cessitated a revision of the estimates
given to congress last month by the
labor department.
Providing machinery for making eff
fective the emergency measures adopt
ed by the conference the civic COM
mittee was advised appointment of
special committees by the mayors of
all cities which handle the local un-
problem in each locality.
Discussing recently the progress of
the unemployment conference, Secre-
tary Hoover expressed the opinion
that it was doing good constructive
work" and was getting along extra
