The locals which insisted on hav-
ing an itemized report did not know
but this statement may be true, SO
they were more anxious than ever to
md where the mysterious $4,000
went to.
Committee Appointed
The international Executive Board
appointed a committee to conduct an
investigation into the expenditure Of
the money. The committee after
holding conferences with all con
cerned in the matter made the follow
ing report.
"Mr. John L. Lewis, President, United

Dear Sir and Brother:
The Committee selected by the In.

Nesbit most extensively, relative to
the matter and afterwards sought to
arrange a meeting Of all interested
parties at Majestic Hotel, Sept. Is,
which matured and was represented
by numerous representatives of the
local union together with represent.
atives of various other local unions
who had also registered complaint in
this connection.

Australian surgeons, which will re-
store to normal functioning the limbs
of sufferers from rigid paralysis, was
announced here this afternoon by Dr..
Charles H. Mayo OF Rochester, Mimi,
DR.. Mayo is attending the Clinical
Congress of the American College Of
Surgeons here.
The operation, DR.. Mayo said, had
been tried several times within the
last year with success. other doctors
attending the congress predicted that,
as a result Of DR.. Mayo's description
and his endorsement Of the opera
ton, It soon would come into general
use in the United States.
DR.. Mayo gave warning that the OPP
Grafton was dangerous in the hands
of inexperienced men and said that
paralytics should consult none but
surgeons expert in its workings. Mis-
takes, he said were apt to prove fatal

later on learned when the miners
forced Lewis to compel harrington
give an itemized report of the $4,000
that $32o.5o was paid to one Jack
Brown a boss for the Peabody Coal
company at Andrews, Illinois, and
that this money was paid to him for
smuggling the collinsvllIe delegates on
the streets Of Springfield.
This man Brown is still Peabody
boss at Kincaid, and is still lined up

has in his possession receipts for
same, but the district executive board
authorized him to enter this appro-
priation in his report in the way and
manner he did.
I'm view Of Section 10, Article 8,
District Constitution hereinbefore re-
produced, if it has any meaning at all,
we are forced to the conclusion that
the District Executive Board was in
error when it took occasion to author.
ize Secretary Nesbit to not publish
an itemized account Of the expendit-
ures over which this controversy
arose. Thus the appeal Of the local
union is sustained and we therefore,
decided that the district executive
board stand reversed and the expen-
ditures shall be itemized."
The report was signed by the com.
mittee. Harrington appealed from this
decision to the International Execut-
i've Board and the case was heard on
Dec. and 4, 1920.
Were Not Friends
harrington and Lewis at this time
were not on friendly terms as a tran
script Of the case shows. They had
not then reached the conclusion that
it was better for them to hang to-
gether than hang separately, so Lewis
was quite willing to make his then
hated enemy sweat blood over the
$27 900.
After listening to reading Of the
appeals from the various locals, Far.
rington stated that he did not think it
was the business of the international
union to interfere in any way with the
manner in which District IL, spent it's
funds. He charged Lewis with put
ting out propaganda about the matter
and repeated that mot a single man
has been placed on the payroll since
the trouble started"
But Secretary Treasurer Nesbit,
made the statement that 81 think we
had on the payroll at the time be-
tween four and six hundred men who
were going around denying state
ments those other men were making
and persuading men to stay at work. "
1t was not surprising that Earring.

to giving an itemized account of the
expenditure of the $4,000 as it was

 Sometimes I think that power is tho dominant desire of ali masculinity. Man wants 10 be all powerful, even in his love. A man wants to make all those who contact with him 10 do so in his own way. There is the clash and battle of life.

He had often been away before, and she had not minded. She had looked forward 10 his occasional let ters, and the joy of his return. But this time, beyond a couple of scrib- bled postcards, he did not write at all'
 The visit, which had been for week, dragged into two, and when he came back one glance at his face told her the reason for the delay.
 He had met the inevitable other woman.''
 Little by little, as if he were not quite sure how she would take it, he had told her about Dolly--how pretty she was, how altogether charming.
 "Her hair is like copper beech- leaves in the sum-" he said eloquently. .I want to marry her more than any thing in the world.
 For an agonized moment Mary had not been able to answer. For moment she had closed her eyes, and wondered with sick feeling of utter, despair how she could ever hide from him the truth-the humiliatinS truth--that she had given him some thing more than friendship, expecting something more in return.
 CHAPTER NII1
 Dolly's Letter
 She had stood by him loyalty in spite of it all. She had listened to the solemn words that had made him the husband, till death should part them. of a woman who cared nothing for him. She had been that woman's true friend through all the petty bickerings and disillnsionments
