CHAPTER NNIX
 Barbara slept little that night She lay in the dark, staring at the window. The moonlight crcpt in a path across the room, and when the moon went down. the room was dark again.
 She heard the whistling of the policeman on his beat, and the bark ing of q dog far away, Toward morn ing, when Barbara had begun to Arowse, 8 milk cart clattcrcd down the street. The sound of the milk mans stcp on the porch and the cljnking Of his milk bottles aroused her.
 The sky beyond the window was still quite black. but she could hoa1 the dawn breeze slipping in at the open sash and ruffling the papers on her desk.
 Barbara set up in bed and felt for her watch. A f1ashlight revealed ii on the table beside the bed, The hands said four o'clock She lay down again, stretching out Wearly between the sheets. All at once she was out of bed again. A sound came from her mothers room. Barbara snatchcd her bathrcbc from a chair and ran into the hall. The night candle in the sick room threw rcd glcam into the hall
 Barbara stole to the door and listened Someone was stirring in side, She pushed the door open, Th night nurse lay asleep on her cot. Mrs. Fawlcy was sitting up right in bed, her head dropping.
 "Mothor dear" whispered Barbara, sliping into the room noiselessIy Whats the matter?"
 The sick woman raised her head. It seemed to Barbara that her mothers eyes were black coals in the red dusk of the room, Her face was very white and thin,
 "Babs. dear" she said huskily, and Barbara's heart almost stopped. Her mothers voice was so unfa- miliar.
 She sat down on the bedside and put her arm around her mother s shoulders. Are you feeling worse, mother? Shall call Miss Upton"
 The older woman shook her head, fnchly. NO, l want to talk to you, Barbara. We may not have another chance"
 Barbara chokcd. Nonsense, mother darling. Dr, Graham told me today you were on the mefrd. You musn't let these night thoughts get hold of you. In few days you're going to be sitting up by the dining room window. with Kiki singing in his cage beside you. Just wait"
 Perhaps. Babs-and perhaps not. But anyhow, l want to talk to you now"
 Barbara brought shawl and wrapped it about her mothers shoulders. adjusted a pillow at her back and sat down on the bed again. All right, mumsy, but don't ever

SUPREME COURT MAKESDECISION
 COTEMPT CASE

WASHINGTON, U. C., Mar. s. The Supreme Court today decided at the request of President Coolidge to pardon the leaders of the Railway Unions who were declared in contempt last fall for refusing the obey the courts orders in interfering with op- erations on road where strikes had been called.
 The court decided that railroad op- orators need not submit disputes over wages and hours to the Railroad labor board.
 A decision was also made that pro- hibition agents had a right to stop automobiles, without a warrant and search for liquor; and that the State of Washington exceeded it's powers in refusing license to A. J. Buoy to operate an automobile stage from Portland to Seattle

Labor Board and had held that it was powerless, except through an ap- peal to public. sentiment, to enforce it's decisions
 The law requiring the submission to the board of labor disputes on railroads for final arbitration was at tackled by the Pennsylvania company as unconstitutional. The railroad in sisted that it was free to decide who it would recognize in the settlement of labor disputes with it's employees The employees, it declared, were sat isfied with the arrangement which had been adopted, having signified their approval by their votes. The labor unions were complaining, the railroad asserted, because the new arrangement was materially reducing their membership.

 composed of shop and mechanical
 employees, and the Pennsylvania Sys- tenn Board of Adjustment of the Bro

 The two labor organizations in- sisted in their appeal to the Su- preme Court that the Transportation Act compelled railroads to comply with the orders of the Railroad Labor Board and to recognize it's authority in the arbitra tion of railroad labor disputes with it's employees, declar- ing that it was a violation of feder- al statutes. They insisted that the committees which the railroad had organized were being financed from among it's own officials one half of the members of each committee, but provided that no committee action was binding except upon a two-third vote.
 The jurisdiction of the Railroad La bor Board was directly challenged by the railroad, which contended that in prior litigation to which it had had been party the Supreme Court had construed the authority of the

velOp in large measure the extent to which the Railroad Labor Board actually can function in the settle ment of railroad labor troubles. The cases involved the right of railroads under the Transportation Act to re- fuse to recognize union labor Organi- zatlonS as the representatives of their employees in the settlement of wage and working conditions dis putes.
 After the national strike of rail- way shopmen in 1921 the Pennsyl- vania company organized among its station, clerical, shop and mechani- cal employees committees to negotiate labor differences, the company being represented upon the committees. Up to that time it had negotiated all dis putes with such employees through representatives of their labor unions
 The attention of the Railroad La bor Board was directed by the la bor unions to the new policy of the company, and it responded with an order directing the railroad to re- turn to it's old practice of permitting labor union representatives to pre- sent the claims of it's employees.
 The company refused to do so, in- sisting that it could not be compel led to recognize labor unions as the representatives of it's employees in the settlement of disputes with it's employees. The employees had the

Residents in the Cathedral Heights
section are being asked to join in the
petition of the Cathedral Heights Citi
zens' Association for the establish
ment of a police precinct in the neigh
borhood in a circular letter sent out
today by Hugh Frampton, president
of the body. Adequate police protec-
ton is not afforded by the 40 men
who now are assigned for night and
day duty at the substation at Tenley-
town.
Citizens are asked by the associa-
ton to urge the District Commission
erS to give serious consideration to
the question at this time in order that
provision may be made for the nee
essary additional men in the esti-
mates for the fiscal year 1927, which
are now being prepared. The asso-
citation also asks that Lieut.. James l..

"The mongrels are superior in
mental power to the lower race.
They are more cunning and more
capable. but they lack the creative
power Of the higher race and cannot
sustain lasting civilization that
will rank with the best of the world"
There is but one absolute solution
which is acceptable and feasible and
that the one advocated by Lincoln
and other far seeing statesmen of the
past, the separation of the races by
gradual repatriation of the colored
races. This measure is still possible
but the longer it is deferred the
greater the task.
