A long time Erskine sat motionless,
wondering what allied him. He had
never liked nor trusted Grey he be
lieved he would have trouble with him
some day but he had other enemies
and he did not feel toward them as he
did toward this dandy mincing up that
beautiful broad path With a little
grunt he turned back along the path.

rapidly up the path Grey and Barbara
had disappeared, but tall youth who
sat behind one of the big pillars saw
him coming and rose, bewildered but
not for long Each recognized the other
swiftly. and Hugh came with stlff
courtesy forward. Ersklne smiled:

himself MP with quick breath-paling
without flaming within-but before he
could speak there was "A quick step
and an astonished cry within the hall

"ErSkine Erskine" he shouted
and he lraped down the steps with
both hands outstretched. "YOu here!

Ersklne had to answer. and Harry
looked puzzled
"The landing Why, what" He
wheeled and shouted to II darby:

barn and feed him" And he led Frs

he had slept before, and poured out
some water in bowl

went back 10 the porch. Erskine could
hear and see him through the latticed
blinds.

voice, Il am host here, and II you don't
like this you can take that path"
"You are right" was the answer !;
but you wait until Uncle Harry gets
home"
The matter was quite plain to Frs
kline within. The presence Of Dane
Grey made II plain, and as Erskine
dipped both hands into the cold water
he made up his mind to an under
standing with that young gentleman
that would be complete and final. And
so he was ready when he and Harry
were on the porch again and Bar

BY JAMES p. HoRNAeAY

Washington.-The railroad labor
board has done so well that President
Harding intends to ask congress to en-
large its powers and to bring II from
Chicago and locate II along side the
Interstate commerce commission here.
The President believes the board
should stand between the railroads and
their employees In much the same
way as the Interstate commerce com
mission stands between the railroads
and the shippers. Both organizations,
of course, are presumed to represent
the public while seeing that exact
Justice is done between employers and
employees on the one hand and trans
portation companies and shippers on
the other hand
II the congress was not so far be
hind with it, work the President
which he has In mind during the pres
ent session, hut he realizes as well as
does the general public that the legis-
lators are not in any mood TO take on
additional work at this time. And so
the recommendation relating to the
future Of the labor board will prob
ably not be presented until the regu-
lar session opens the first Monday In
December. II is highly important, In
the estimation of President Harding,
that the labor boa. 4 shall be brought
To Washington. The transportation
act located It in Chicago on the theory
that out there II would be freer TO deal
with the problems submitted to 1t. But
the experiences Of the last two years
and a half have convinced the author
tiles here that the board should be a
near neighbOr of the interstate com
merce commission, since the two bodies
are dealing with problems that over

plan to the coal mining industry. II
is not unlikely that the decision will
be 10 ask the congress TO create per.
mauent mine labor board. A constitu-
tional question Is involved Some Of
the members of the Presidents cabinet
believe It would be worth while to ere

similar to those conferred on the rail-
road labor board. and leave II TO the

All Of them pretended that they would do the very
