with a staccato jerk, as he jam

and got out his thoughts to
march in procession before me.

has me under her thumb. It's
just that must sacrifice any

let Mabel go. But any good job

"You mean-Tom?"
"Rightor' said Jim with the
warm smile he always has for
understanding reaction to his
mood.
DO you think getting Loren
Haldane an able assistant to take
the place Of the wonderful one
Tom has-more. or less driven
away-is playing him such a
scurvy tricky" I smiled.
However the Irrna Warren

burst out. "If she doesn't know
about the Booth complex in
Toms life. you'll probably think
you have to-put her wise some
day if you see her taking Tom
seriously"
I'm not sure I'd feel justified
in interfering" confessed.
Jim took a long breath and
ceased his pacing up and down
the room. He halted and stared
down at me with an incredulous
smile.
"You heard right" I said. I'm
not electing myself Toms judge.
You know I always loathed his
philandering. But think he's
tried to break away from it and
has been loyal to Irna ever since
he first began to realize what it

Legion Fights The
Radical Movement
Activities of I. w. w. is Curtailed
Through United Action of
American Legion

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 9.-Activ
tiles of members of the Industrial
Workers q the World, in many sections
posed by the American Legion, ac
cording to reports received at national
headquarters of the veterans organiza
tions. In many communities, the former
service men are scotching the snake y
in this case, the I. W. W.-before the
sinister influence of the long-haired
revolutionarie3 is felt.
According to one report bitter cam
paign was waged on the legion recent
ly by the "wobblies" in the state of
Washington, where four American Lc-
gion members were murdered while pa
arding on Armistice Day. An organ
izer, with plenty of money, was sent
to Seattle and Hoquiam, and proceed
ed to distribute radical literature.
However, the legion utilized the press
of the Northwest, and by exposition of
the aims of the radicals, checked their
program. A leading argument of the
campaign waged on the legion was that
the veteran 8 body was unfavorable to
organized labor. This was refuted by
the announcement that one of the lead
ers of the legion will address the an
nual convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to be held in Port
land, Ore, this fall.
A proposed Invasion" of Port
Arthur, Tex, by an army of $4,000
/. W. W. members, in protest of the
arrest of "thrce brothers," failed to
mature when the legion men announced
they were ready to entertain the in
vaders, on the rock piles of the state,
and that the visitors would be given
fare of "crusts and water" in the
county jais while there.
When members of the radical organi.
zation moved into the wheat fields of
the Dakotas, ostensibly to work, but
really to spread vicious propaganda
of discomfort, in the opinion of many
persons, the legion opened an en-
ployment office in Aberdeen, S. D..
and recommended as harvest hands
only men known to be of non-radical
tendencies. Leaders of the revolution
ary society in Oklahoma, were met on
opposite corners from the ''soap box
pulpits' with counteracting statements
of legion principles.
