Marking More Time

Washington, Aug. 9-The rail strike
situation seemed destined to mark
timeu ntl next Friday although Off
cials of the striking shopcraft unions
were in Washington today to consider
President Harding's proposal for a
voluntary termination of the walkout.
Shopcraft federal leaders here have
indicated that the reply to the Presi-
dents statement proposing immediate
resumption of work and reference of
the seniority issue for the railroad
labor board for decision would be sub
mitted to the general conference Of
labor heads here Friday before it was
sent to the White House. AS the rail-
way executives also will meet that day
in New York to draft their answer to
the administration plan, important de-
velopments before that time were re-
garded as improbable.
Rejection of the administration plan
by the workers is generally accepted
as certain. Forecasts as to the course
of the managements are not so def
mite, but it was apparently in antici-
patton of second failure to bring the
two sides to an agreement that would
restore full transportation facilities
that Mr. Harding moved yesterday to
bring the authority of congress to
bear on what is admittedly a serious
national crisis.

Shopmen Stand Pat
New York, Aug. 9.-Twenty-five
thousand rail shopcrafts workers
through David Williams, secretary of
the eastern strike committee today
sent telegram to b. M. Jewell at
Washington, putting themselves on
record as refusing to accept Presi-
dent IIarding's proposal for submit
ting the seniority question to the
Railroad Labor Board.
The telegram read:
in behalf of $4,000 striking rail-
way shopmen in the New York dis
trict we endorse your standing in re-
fusing to accept the compromise prop
osition of President Harding.
The morale of the strikers is perfect.
MANY of the strikers are ex-serv-
ice men who fought under the stars
and stripes for democracy in the late
war. These men have witnessed our
so-called American railway executives
hire cheap Chinese and Hindu labor
to try and break the strike and under
Ano circumstances will these former
Ap]diers agree to allow this conglom-
tion of unskilled foreign workmen
be considered as favored employees
the railroad to satisfy the auto
-atic desires of the American rail
ay kaisers for a condition of indus
rial slavery for railway employees.
LET us assure you again we want
no compromise and urge that the fight
be fought to a finish right now on its
merits and the present administration
in control of our government be
forced to show whether it sSSls for
real Americanism or the brand of
Americanism represented by a few
hard boiled railroad officials who
would wreck our entire country in
their lust for power"

-I received short note from him. The note was agitated, almost incoher- ent. It told me he had sent for you Alan Conrad, of Blue Rapids, Kansas but spoke of you as though you were some one ought to have known about, and commended you to my care. The remainder of it was merely an agitat- ed, almost indecipherable farewell to nae. When I opened the envelope, a key had fallen out. The note made no reference to the key, but, compar- ing it with one had In my pocket, I saw that 1t appeared to be key to a safety deposit box in the vaults of company where we both had boxes.
 "The note, taken in connection with my daughters alarm about him, made 1t so plain that something serious had happened to Corvet, that my first thought was merely for him. Corvet was not a man with whom one could readily connect the thought of suicide {; but, Alan, that was the idea had. I hurried at once to his house, but the bell was not answered, and could not get in. His servant, Wassaquam, has very few friends, and the few times he has been away from home of recent years have been when he visited an acquaintance of his-the head porter in South Side hotel. I went'to the telephone in the house next door and called the hotel and found Wassaquam there. I told him over the telephone only that something was wrong, and hurried to my own home to get the key, which had, to the Corvet house i; but when I came back and let myself into the house, I found 1t empty and with no sign of anything having hap pened.
 '"The next morning, Alan, I went to the safe deposit vaults as soon as they were open. I presented the numbered key and was told that 1t belonged to a box rented by Corvet, and that Corvet had arranged about three days before for me to have access to the box if I presented the key. I had only to sign my name in their book and open the box. In it, Alan, found the pictures of you which I showed you yesterday and the very strange communications that am going to show you now"
 Sherrill opened the long envelope, from which several thin, folded papers fell. He picked up the largest of these, which consisted of several sheets fastened together with a clip, and handed it to Alan without comment. Alan, as he looked at 1t and turned the

vague memories of similar sort-were him. He caught himself together and turned his thoughts to the approach ing visit to Sherrill-and his fathers offices. He had accepted Constance Sherrill's invitation to drive him downtown to his destination.
 Observing the towering buildings to his right, he was able to identify some of the more prominent structures, fa- miliar from photographs of the city. Constance drove swiftly few blocks down this boulevard; then, with a sudden, Here we are!" she shot the car to the curb and stopped. She led Alan into one of the tallest and best looking buildings.
 On several of the doors opening upon the wide marble. hall where the eleva- tor left them, Alan saw the names, "Corvet, Sherrill and Spearman."
 Constance led the way on past to a door farther down the corridor, which bore merely the name, Lawrence Sherrill"; evidently Sherrill, who had dSIuC ness, had offices connected with but not actually a part of the offices of Corvet, Sherrill and Spearman. A girl on guard at the door, saying that MT. Sherrill had been awaiting MT Con- rad, opened, an inner door and led Alan into a large, many-windowed room, where Sherrill was sitting alone before a table-desk. He pulled the visitors chair" rather close to his desk and to his own big leather chair before asking Alan to seat himself.
 "You wanted to tell me, or ask me, something last night, my daughter has told me-" Sherrill said cordially. "I'm sorry I wasn't home when you came back" ...
 "I wanted to ask you, MT. Sherrill," !"

 Sherrill opened a drawer and took out large, plain envelope.

shrieked The wind, passing It's last resistance after its sweep across the prairies before it leaped upon the lake, battered and clamored in it's assault about the house. But as Alan became sleepier, he heard 1t no longer as 1t rattled the windows and howled under the caves and over the roof, but as out on the lake, above the roaring and ice crunching waves, 1t whipped and cir cled with its chill the ice-shrouded sides of struggling ships. So, with the roar of surf and gale in his ears, he went to sleep with the sole conscious connection in his mind between him. self and these people, among whom Benjamin Corvet's summons had brought him, the one name "Miwaka."

Memory, if Alan could call it that, had given him feeling for ships and for the lake. But these recollections were only what those of three-years
 child might have been. Not only did they refuse to connect themselves with anything else, but by the very f1nality of their isolation, they warned him that they-and perhaps few more

The sight of Constance Sherrill standing and watching after him in concern as he started back to this house, came to him again and again and, also, her flush when she had spoken of the friend against whom Benjamin Corvet had warned her. Who was he? It had been impossible at that moment for Alan to ask her more; besides, if he had asked and she had told him, he would have learned only name which he could not place yet in any connection with her or with Benjamin Corvet. Whoever he was, 1t was plain that Constance Sherrill ''thought of him. lucky man, Alan said to himself. Yet Corvet had warned her not to think of him. :.
 Alan turned back his bed. It had been for him tremendous day. Bare ly twelve hours before he had come to that house, Alan Conrad from Blue Rapids, Kan, now phrases from what Lawrence Sherrill had told him of his father were running through his mind as he opened the door of the room to be able to hear any noise in Benjamin Corvet's house, of which he was sole protector. The emotion reused by his first sight of the lake went through him again as he opened the window to the east.
 Now--he was In bed-he seemed to be standing, specter before man blaspheming Benjamin Corvet and the souls of men dead. "And the hole above the eye! The bullet got you! . So it's you that got Ben I'll get you You can't save the Miwaka !" -.
 The Miwaka! The stir of that name was stronger now even than before; it had been running through his con sciousness almost constantly since he had heard It. He jumped up and turned on the light and found a pencil. He did not know how to spell the name and it was not necessary to write 1t down; the name had taken on that definiteness and ineffaceableness of thing which, once heard, can never again be forgotten But, in panic that he might forget, he wrote 1t, guessing at the spelling-"Miwaka." :"
 It was a name, of course but the name of what? 1t repeated and re- peated itself to him, after he got back into bed, until its very iteration made him drowsy. -., '.
