Freedom Impossible
 in Anti-Union Shop
Methodist Federation Points Out It
 Is Contrary to Justice.

New York, May 27.-Thc pamphlet on "Thc Open Shop, the American Plan of Employment" the Methodist federation for social service, says:
 You think 1t means freedom for the non-union man.
 "Docs it? In many places it means that he must sign a contract never to join d union; 1t means that he is con tinually watched by spies to sec that he never becomes union man; in the Alabama coal mines Ii means that he must live behind a StOckadc and get a pass every time member of his fam fly goes out. In West Virginia 1t means that he must be 'protcctedD from talking to union organizers by gun men and machine guns; it means that he must sign lease, giving the company the right to come into the house at any time and throw out any guest, lest union men should come in.
 'ls this the kind of freedom the American flag stands for?
 ou think we are talking about the open shop at it's worst! Well, take it at it's best.
 It means the absolute right of the employer to hire and fire. No dis elimination! He is to run his busi- ness without dictation. This is indi- vidual bargaining Tn pioneer days it worked, but the employers are now almost entirely organized to bargain collectively.
 "We cant go back to the old days Some one is trying 10 fool you2 To day hiring men as individuals in the big industries means hiring them on the terms the big corporations offer"

The application of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company for
authority TO reduce the train service
on it's line between Madison and
Montfort was dismissed by the rail
road commission last week. The COM
mission said that it recognized the
serious financial condition of the rail-
way company, but that the situation
did not warrant the curtailment or
elimination of service which is as
essential as that in question.

A heavy rain storm with some
hail and much electricity, visited this
section Thursday. Jack Kruel of
Hickory Grove lost a cornstack by

VIM. Manning had quite an exneri-
ence returning home with Tom Man

fell and struck Otto Klirschbaum

knocking him down it cut a deep

A we'll directed stream soon quenched

a spark from the chimney alighting
in a mass of dried leaves in the cave
trough, and a considerable portion of
the roof was ablaze before the mem

then as he got to the door he paused.
I'm afraid that my words will not
have much effect" he remarked, "but
the episode last night did appeal to
me. / would like to spare yOu-I
would really. It's a sign of weakness,
my young friend, which | view with
amazement-but nevertheless it is
there. SO be warned in time. Return
my property to BernerS street, and
leave England for a few months" His
eyes seemed to burn into the soldiers
brain. "YOu are meddling in affairs"
he went on gently, ''of the danger of
which you have no conception. A fly
in the gear-bOX of a mOtOr-car would
be sOunder proposition for life
insurance than you will be-if you
continue on your present course"
There was something so incredibly
menacing in the soft, quiet voice that
Drumm0nd looked at the speaker fas-
cinated. He had sudden feeling that
he must be dreaming in a mo-
ment or two he would wake up and
find that they had really been talking
about the weather the whole time
Then the cynical CLEAN of triumph in
PetersOn's eyes acted on him like a
cold dOuche.
"Your candor is as refreshing he
answered genially, ''aS your SMILES
are apt. / shudder to think of that

ly with your chauffeur grinding his
gears to pieces" He held open the
door for his visitor, and followed him
into the passage. AT the other end
stood Denny, OstentatiOusly busting
bookshelf, and Peterson glanced at
him casually. 1t was characteristic
of the man that no trace of annoyance
showed on his face. He might have
been an ordinary visitor taking his
leave.
And then suddenly from the room
outside which Denny was busting
there came low moaning and an in
coherent babble. A quick frown
passed over Drummond'S face, and
Peterson regarded him thoughtfully
San invalid in the house?" he re-
marked. "How inconvenient for YOU"
He laid his hand for a moment on the
soldiers arm. 81 sadly fear you're
going to make a fool of yourself. And

familiar.

But what little flash of remem-
brance had pierced the drug-clouded
brain seemed to have passed the
man only stared daZedly at the speak

more questions, but it was no use,
and after a while he got up and moved
toward the door.

watched the motionless figure.
