an exhaustive report on public and
private employment offices, says that
the transfer from one section of the
country 20 another Of workers or Of
men going to new jobs in increasing
numbers is an uprooting Of home and
community relationships that should
be looked upon with concern. This
is a point often brought out by or
ganized labor.
In the past it has been the custom
to talk very loosely about shipping
men from one part Of the country
to another, as though they were mere
ly cattle or commodities; and as
though the desirability of shipment
from an industrial and social point
of view were unquestioned.
Fortunately this viewpoint is
changing and organized labor can
justly take a large share of the credit
for the change. The workers are not
cattle or commodities to be shipped
about, willy-nilly, as industry booms
in one section to die down in another.
They have as much right to settled
home as any other class. which is a
fact that can not be too often
stressed.

Miners VOTE
ON OLD AGE PENSION

By international Labor News Service.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. AT
the election to be held December 8 by
the United Mine Workers of America,
District ~ (Illinois) will vote on the
question of accepting or rejecting an
old age pension plan, whereby union
miners over the age of SIS viii be re-
tired on a pension for the rest of their
days.
The plan provides for the payment
of not more than $25 month to any
retired miner who has held member
ship in the Illinois district for 20
years, the last ten of which have been
continuous. A special assessment of
1 per cent of gress earnings, less mine
expenses of all members of the union
will maintain a fund large enough to
care for all pensions, officials say.
Under the plan members working
around the mine part of the month
and the rest of the time at some other
form of labor will be called upon to
pay so cents per month in addition to
the l per cent of the wages earned at
the mines; members employed regu-
larly at other work than mining may
be assessed $1.1O a month under the
proposed plan.
The assessments have been based on
mortality statistics issued by insur-
ance companies which show that out
of 100 men at the age of 35, so will
attain the age of 65. It is possible
that the assessment levy now proposed
would be increased when the full pen
sion load is required.
Illinois has approximately 10000
union miners within the district.

rane is at best a queer bird.

remember that only recently the
United States INDUCED in a choice
bit of bullying herself.
Two men alleged to have been inn
plicated in the murder of Vice Con-
sui Imbrie at Teheran, Persia, were
found guilty and sentenced to life
imprisonment. Despite the fact that
life imprisonment is the punishment
for murder in many States Of the
Union, this country demanded in per-
emptory tones that the two men be
punished with death. Persia COM
piled and the men were executed.
One wonders if the same demand
would have been made on a strong
nation, such as France or Japan.
The chances are that if either France
or Japan had chosen to punish slayers
Of an American citizen with life inn
prisonment as a large part Of the
United States does, Washington
would have sent no demand for the
infection of the death penalty.
Bullying by. the United States does
not OF course excuse the conduct OF
treat Britain toward Egypt. The
action Of Great Britain is on par with
the bullying of China by Germany
after the assassination of two Ger
man missionaries in Shantung and
the ultimatum sent to Serbia by Aus
tria after the murder Of Archduke
Francis Ferdinand at Sarajevo. AS
, the New World points out, the British
Government has used an assassina-
ton in Egypt as the Germans and
Austrians used assassinations, for the
presentation Of political demands
and the achievement Of results which
diplomacy has been unable to accom-
plish.
%The same forces are not neces-
sarily present in the background, /"
says the World. "But in SO far as
there is precedent for this event, it
promises England, Egypt and the
rest of US small reward"

thrown out of the Republican coun-
ellis, the Old Guard in Congress pro-
claims.
Daily the people are RECALLED with
Old Guard Plans for giving the
"grand bounce" to all Progressives in
Congress. Old Guard newspapers
are exhorting Republican leaders to
keep a stiff upper lip and proceed
ruthlessly with the Canning" APP
parently there is great fear that the
Republican leaders are afraid to tack
lie the job of expelling the rebels
from the G. o. P. ranks and it is
hoped to instill them with sufficient
courage to take decisive action.
Meanwhile the people are not show
ing any wild interest in the plots to
suppress the Congressional PROGRESS
ives. The people are showing much
keener interest in what the dominant
party plans to do in the field Of
legislation. They believe that the
party leaders can better expend their
energy in shaping legislation for the
benefit of the nation than in scheming
to put the skids" under members
of Congress who have always stood
for the interests of the producers.
It looks very much as if the Old
Guard was riding for a good, hard
fall. Unduly pulled up by the Cool
idge victory, the Old Guard is hoping
to punish all who do not stand for its
reactiOnary policies. In planning this
campaign the Old Guard viii very
likely Overreach itself and get a bad
tumble. As the Bible says, pride

CHAPTER VII
FaEIcies and Ferce Rails.

r aHClSS ana Fehce HalIS.
Jack Warhope made a one-handed
job Of his work among the feed-pens
next forenoon, though 1t was a task
for two. The young woodsman was
immensely sensitive over the fact that
he was a bound boy, though Simon
Colin never obtruded it on him and
seldom exercised any sort of authority
over him.
He allowed him to live on in the
cabin where his father and mother
had dreamed their dream, to come and
go as he pleased The shrewd old
money-lender probably knew that the
young mans high spirit would urge
him further than any amount Of exer-
cised authority possibly could. And
Simon Colin knew the race from
which his bound boy had sprung.
From the first, Simon's treatment Of
his bound boy had caused his neigh
bors no small wonder-it was so un-
like him. He had sent him to the vii
lage school till he outgrew it, and had
allowed him to roam the woods with
out any sort Of restraint. Far from
discouraging his very aptitude for
woodcraft, he had even loosened his
heart-strings his purse-strings !;
an infinitely harder thing for him to
do-to the extent Of buying him the
best double-barreled shotgun the mar
ket afforded, and revolver of model
and workmanship as fine as the art of
revolver-making could produce at that
time-two gifts on which the boy GER

terpiece that had been selected for the
honor because of its size and beauty,
he hacked himself off an enormous
slice.
There is that about a naked knife
a certain cold, finching thought of
sharp steel drawn across warm flesh
that no other weapon inspires. Women
gasped; children flew in terror to their
parents; the desperate was left with
the cleared center Of the floor to him.
self.
He hacked himself off another huge
section; gulped it down; laughed con-
temptuously, and slammed the rest OF
the beautiful CORRECTION at window
with a force that snuffed out a candle
and shivered the glass to splintels; he
glared around at the shrinking circle
and smacked the knife against the
palm Of his hand.
"Say, ladies'" he leered, his voice
sounding harsh and strident in the
dead silence of the room. you and
the youngsters nee'n' t git panicky. I
amt go'n' t. hurt you none. I jist
sa'nter'd In t. git look at Jay I've
hearn tell shoots up K'ntuckians."
The reference was too plain to be
misunderstood Not a man there. but
had heard of the shoot-up in the post
office the evening before. Every eye
turned toward Jack Warhope, stand
ing a step or two in front of the
shrinking circle-for the others had
drawn back and he had not.
The eyes of the desperate followed
the eyes of the crowd. Slouching
across the floor till the two stood face
to face, he stiffened and glared with
dull savagery.
Texie, just back Of the preacher at
the punch bowl, leaned across the
table and almost stopped breathing.
@I'm a K'ntuckian."
81 low they was right sorry when
y'u left"
The reply stung the drunk man to
madness. With unexpected vicious
ness he lunged and struck with the
knife.
The woodsman sprang back, warded
the blow with ready quickness, and
whipped a vicious jab to the chin that
pitched the intruder backward to the
floor, But the blow, quick as it was,
had come the flick of an instant too
late, the knife had found his flesh,
grazed the left side of his neck, ripped
through collar and tie and gashed his
shoulder halfway to the armpit.

Right there the Flatwoods showed

Right there the Flatwoods showed
its teeth. Fifty pistols Ieaped into
view. al Counterman, far back in the
crowd, snatched long-barreled six
gun from somewhere under his blouse
and his lanky body stiffened to bal
ance, light in his one eye no man
! there ever seen before. Uncle Nick,
with vigor that set at defiance his
weight of years, hurled younger men
aside and sprang into the cleared
circle.
But with SO many women and chill
dren present pistols weres out Of the
question. The desperate doubtless
counted on this very fact Stung to
madness by the blow, he leaped up
and lunged again with the knife.
This time he ran square into the
preacher. With a readiness and cour-
age hardly looked for in one of his
cloth, he had stepped in front of Jack
Warhope, his tall figure erect and su-
perbly dominant.
Fifty flatwoodsmen, half crouched
and straining forward, stood staring.
The eyes of the dark-faced man
stretched so wide that they appeared
to bulge from their sockets. He lifted
a dirty hand, brushed it across the
wiry stubble Of his face and, like a
man half dazed, slowly shut the clasp
knife and put it back in his. pocket.
Fifty f1atwoodsmen relaxed, straight
ened; fifty pistols went back into
hiding.
The preacher slowly raised an arm
and pointed toward the open door.
The desperado's eyes dropped; he
rubbed his lips together as If to loosen
them; turned and stalked from the
room.
"Mebbe we ortn't t let i'm git
away" muttered a voice.
Jaw leave i'm co." grunted Uncle
Nick, curiously puzzled expression
on his face as he gazed at the open
door through which the renegade had
gone. Hes licked-an' e amt wo'th

The old man turned away, still with
the puzzled expression on his face,
mOtioned Jack to a chair at the side
of the room and began examining his
hurt.
At that moment Texie slipped
through the crowd, some white strips
of torn tablecloth in her hand, and
approached the woodsman. A smile
twisted his lips, and the girl, dipping
one of the strips in the cold water
Aunt Liza brought, began to wash the
blood from the gashed shoulder and
make 1t ready to be bandaged
The preacher looked on a moment,
turned away and went back among
the women who were gathering again
about the punch bowl. The elaborate
frock coat and stiff neck stock had
again asserted themselves. The stoop
had come back to his shoulders: the
flare had left his eyes.
The girl, with fingers trembling,
glanced through the open door into
the square of darkness that had swal-
lowed up the desperate; bent low
over the bandages, and brought her
face close to the woodsman's ear.
