.TRACKMEN WILL CONTINUE WORK UNIONS TO TAKE UP WAGE DIs- PUTE WITH INDIVIDUAL
 ROADS.
STRIKE IS POSTPONED
CONFERENCE AVERTS STRIKE OF 100000 RAILWAY TRACK
 WORKERS.

Chicago.-The threatened extension of the strike of railway employees to 100000 trackmen was averted through the efforts of members of the United States Railroad Labor Board and off cials of the United Maintenance of Way Employees and Railroad Shop La borers.
 PostpOnement of the strike was an nounced by E. F. Grable, president of the maintenance of way organization, after he and his executive council had conferred with Chairman Ben W. Hooper of the labor board and w. L. McMenimen, labor member of the board
 Maintenance of way chalrmen were instructed to proceed to take up main tenance of way disputes with the indi- vidual roads and in case an agreement is not reached, to refer the matter to the labor board. These disputes in- clude the wage cut recently authorized by the labor board for maintenance of way employees, changes in maintenance of way rules and the contracting of track work.
 Members were directed to continue work under the wage cut ordered by the labor board effective July 1, but to make any revision in rates reUroac= tive to July l and to withhold strike orders pending the carrying out of these matters. It was also announced that an immediate ruling from the la- bOr board will be sought absOlving members from doing any work former ly done by members of other Organiza- tiOns on strike.
 The conference resulted from tthe personal efforts of Walter L. McMeni- men and Ben w. Hooper of the labor board Mir. McMenimen, member of the labor group on the board, arranged the conference by telephone with MT. Grable, who was in Detroit canvassing the strike vote of his organization. This vote was said to be largely in favor of walkout.
 POstpOnement of the maintenance of way walkout was accomplished only after most strenuous day. MT. Grable and members of his executive council came here from Detroit after canvass ing their strike vote there, which, it was announced showed over 90 per cent in favor of a walkout Armed with strike orders to 2,7O0 chairmen, the maintenance of way officers went into conference with Chairman Hooper and Mir. McMenimen.
 After lengthy conference the main- tenance of way men withdrew to dis cuss the matter, then assembled with the two board members.
 A wait of an hour was occasioned while officials of the Indiana Harbor belt were being sought. When these officials agreed to withdraw outside contracts, the maintenance of way of ficials announced immediately that they were ready to postpone the strike.
 H. Grable, President of the Mainte- nance Workers, announced that after most careful consideration of this en- tire situation, we have reached the con- cluSion that it is not wise for our mem bership to leave the service of the car riers until every resource has been ex- hausted that affords hope of a peace ful adjustment

A few minutes later came the
voice, much clearer, from the loud
speaker.
"Now-Glenn-get up closer to
the loud speaker-no - no - you
know-not your cheek, Glennie-"
There was suppressed laugh.
Glenn smiled, rather sheepishly.

perfectly at ease. Her graceful
limbs showed fascinating lines

had carelessly thrown over her. mo

thought. 'She's a dangerous COM
binationp
Still chatting, Ruth and Vira
stepped into the canoe with Dick
and Guy, while the others plunged
into the water and swan. They soon
slipped alongside the houseboat with
its gilt letters SEA VAMP.
Garrick realized as they mounted
the ladder that the marine engine
had materially changed the old-time
ohouseboat from a mere scow or
barge with a low flat house on it
moored in a bay or river and only
with difficulty and expense towed
from one place to another. Now the
houseboat like the "Sea Vamp" was
really fair-sized yacht.
She was perhaps sixty feet long
and most attractive craft with a
hully yatchty in appearance and of
type which could safely make long
runs along the coast, a staunch, sea-
worthy boat-of course without the
speed of regularly designed yacht,
but more than making up in COM
fort for those on board what was lost
in speed.
As they approached he had looked
her over carefully. One of the first
things he noted was that strung
from two masts forward and astern
was the aerial of wireless
They clambered aboard and
dragged up the canoe. At the stern
they saw stockily-built man in sea
togs making fast dory, and taking
out rather complete set of fishing
tackle and other duffle.
"H'ye, Cap'nw greeted GlennI

Ruth to Garrick. eve hire him to

"Too early for snappers yet Got
couple of flat fish-and an eel" He
caught sight of Guy and Dick and
glowed under bushy eyebrows.
"Who are they?" he growled under
his breath.
They're with me, Captain" ex-
planned Ruth. "Mr. Garrick and Mr..
Defoe, Captain Brock. Just couple
of friends who are interested in how
| spend my time"
"Well, so long as it's time they
are looking for, all right"
Garrick could not resist startled
second glance as, tucked away in
the dufle with great care, he caught
sight of an electron tube, with fila
ment and grids, precisely the latest
type used in radio receiving. He
nudged Dick, but Dick was equally

quick. The fishing pole was equipped
with a miniature aerial and he had
noticed it.
Neither betrayed either interest or
the burning curiosity they felt as
Brock dumped forward with his
stuff. Why, when Brock was even
fishing, away from the Sea Vamp,'
did he carry his compact wireless
receiving set? What station must
he be always in touch with, or what
message did he expect that he must
be listening in?
Excuse us. Well go down below.
Get the shaker and some ice and
you know. | guess we can

Alone in the comfortably fur
nished saloon, Garrick glanced at
Dick, who shrugged at the uncon-
ventionality of it all, then made a
hasty survey of the place. At one
end was a sort of closet or clothes
press. "Snooping," he nodded as he
opened the door.
Inside hung nondescript array
of old clothes. In the back corner,
on the floor where it had been
thrown lay a girls cloth hat. He
picked it up, smoothed it out, then
with a suppressed "Ouchw drew his
hand away and lossened pin

the pieces of missing jewelry, whis-

BY Jove, it's not only hat. It's

the girl at the Radio Dance put the
stuff in little tomato eolored bag.

Here's a camera, too," was all
Garrick answered. He turned the
camera over, saw the number 60"
then deity unloaded it and dr6pped
the rob of film into his coat pocket.
There was a step ons the COM
panionway. Softly he closed the
door, rolled the hat tightly and
stuffed it in his hip pocket under
the tail of his coat.
The party thawed a little bit as
the ice in the shaker thawedi Final
ly Garrick took advantage of lull
in the conversation. ".@
Il may as we'll tell you just why
we dropped in" he remarked,
casually taking the diamond clasp
from his pocket. Is that by any
chance yours, Vira?'
Vira looked at the clasp mo-
ment, then gave little scream.

With a wave of her hand suddenly
Ruth shot away on the side road to

Garrick had no desire for a Wild
