just as his ambitions were stepping to
fresh heights, just as his hands were
filling with newer, greater endeavor,
there had come the mishap in the
mountains and Sanfords tragic death.
Lee passed silently through the
courtyard and came to the door at the
far end. The door stood open ;
within was the Office of Bayne Tre-
vors, general manager. Lee entered,
his hat still far back upon his head.
The sound of his boots upon the bare
floor caused Trevors to look up
quickly.
"Hello, Lee" he said quietly. "Wait
a minute, will your"
Quite a different type from Lee,
Bayne Trevors was heavy and square
and hard. His eyes were the glinting
gray eyes Of man who is forceful,
dynamic, the sort Of man who Is a
better captain than lieutenant, whose
hands are strong to grasp life by the
throat and demand that she stand and
deliver. Only because Of his wide and
successful experience, Of his initiative,
of his way of quick, decisive action
mated to marked executive ability,
had Luke Sanford chosen Bayne

pushing, vigorous personality was he

FIGHT EXPECTED
ON CHILD LABOR
IN ". VIRGINIA
Surrender Of States Rights
Feared if Constitution
Revision Voted.

CHARLESTON. w Va. Dec s.
The most important legislative mat
ter which will come mp in IA routine
way before the Legislature early
next year, say certain Legislators,
will be the Federal Child Labor
Constitutional amendment.
What action is taken on the
child labor amendment apparently
will depend on the amount OF senti-
ment aroused in its behalf or the
hostility to il inspired between now
and the time il comes before the
Legislature. Editorial discussion OF
the measure so far has been unfa-
vorable. Opponents OF ratification
maintain that the state itself is
capable OF handling its child labor
problem and hat to invite Federal
assistance through ratification of
the amendment would be in the
nature of a surrender of states
rights. A hard fight in behalf of
the proposal, however. is expected.
Labor organizations are likely to
support it., they point out. and it
may win favorable consideration

STANDARD BREWERY CLOSED
Beer Carried in Hot Water Pipes
No Evidence of Seizure of
Beer Presented

Federal Judge James II. Wilkerson, OF
Chicago, on June 3 closed the Standard
Brewing Company, Ole of the breweries
owned by the Druggan-Lal1e clique. This
was the brewery which was said to have
resofted to the subterfuge of carrying the
beer from the vats to the bottling room
in the hot water pipes of the heating
plant =
Judge Wilkerson's decision created
precedent in that it closes a brewery
without any evidence of the seizure of
beer. Concluding his decision, the judge
remarked: The evidence in this case
establishes the fact that the liquid SO de-
veloped in the manufacture of near beer
by the defendant was set for use for bev-
erage purposes.
"Fhe evidence also establishes that the
liquid was not only set for beverage pur-
poses but that it was intended for use in
violation of the prohibition laws. Alter
alton of the pipes and other destruction
of evidence and the general conduct of
those in charge of the premises compelled
this decision"
