you honestly going to try to fight?"
Yes, / am, Johnny. Are you with
me or against me?"
For once, the young riders face WAS
entirely serious. He looked from Jes-
sic, now revealed in the full flare of
the lamp glow. to Hugh, half tur1ed
from the desk.
"Hughie," he said. you and 1 might
as well know how we stand. You aad
Jess both know how feel about her.
And I've always admired and liked
you, Hughie. But since Miriam Page
came out here, tell you, my blood's
been boiling steadily. Not that don't
wish the two of you would get d.
vorce and let me have new chance
to win Jessie. But to see you, Hughie,
neglect woman like Jessie, no mat
ter what the circumstances are, makes
me want to shoot you"
"Do you mean to tell me-" insisted
Hugh, that after all our years OF
friendship, you are going to break
away from me because I've been hon
est about Jessie and me?"
"I'm going to do more than break
away from you," answered Johnny
'As long as you take the attitude you
do about Jessie, I'm going to work
against you"
"No, you aren't, JOHNNY" declared
Jessie. I'LL not stand for it."
20 I'm not afraid of anything John
ny can do to me-" Hugh lifted his
chin. I'm glad to know where he
stands. But think I ought to war;
him that if find need him, I'll whiI
him into line without compunctions
Whip me into line!" cried Johnny
angrily. What gives you the ides
that you can do that?"
"I've known you for thirty years
We were babies together. Before ttls
war is over, I'll have the men neet
behind me-" Hugh spoke as if con
scious of power he never before
had felt.
Johnny's face was purple. "We'l
see! Well see! And in the mean
time, I warn you that if can breal
up you and Miriam Page, I'm goinl
to do it. Not because I'm such NOR
al guy! But because there's nj
chance of my getting Jessie, and
care enough about her to want her t.
have what she wants. Even if it's I
bloodless fossil like you."
IT think this interview is about a
an end, Johnny" said Hugh, quietly
"Then you and agree on on

on his gloves.

WASHINGTON. - Business condi-

favorable than at present for con-

Secretary Hoover, who predicts 'rea-

said, point neither to a slump nor a

gathering together the members of
the Conservation Committee. During
this time, Hugh, at Mrs. Morgan's
suggestion, outlined in his mind the
stories which he wished to tell the
committees, but also at her sugges-
ton, he said little to Grafton or to
the old guard which suddenly ceased
to hold sessions in The Lariat. 1t was
the first concrete intimation to Hugh
that the town was lining itself up
against him.
A day or so after his conversation
with Mrs. Morgan, Jessie rode down
from the ranch, which was closing up
the dude end of it's business for the
season. 1t was evening when she tied
Maybe in front of The Lariat and
walked slowly into the store. Hugh
looked up from his notebook. His
ideas of beauty were Of late entirely
biased by his intense admiration for
Miriam's delicate charm. But in spite
Of his deep preoccupation, he was con-
scious of a reluctant admiration for
something in Jessie he never before
had sensed.
She was wearing corduroy riding
breeches and-the fall nights were
cold-a heavy, soft riding coat of
white cheviot. She was bare-headed
and, in spite of the frost, her flannel
blouse was open at the throat. She
swung with her easy, deliberate
stride, the length of the store, without
at the brilliant moonlight on the river.
There was in her manner, in the set
of her broad shoulders, the swing Of
her slender thighs, forcefulness and
a grace that made Hugh think of a
mountain lion he once had watched
striding up to hidden spring for a
drink. Jessie the lazy, Jessie the in
different, was showing purposetul
strength that was not the less appar-
ent for its grace. Hugh's little thrill
of admiration was followed by sud
den added tensity of nerves. After
all, Jessie was force and evidently
rather a tremendous one. He was
then not to be allowed freedom in the
enjoyment of his love any more than
he was to be allowed to pursue his
profession in peace. Very well; his
jaw setting. He would fight for both.
Jessie turned finally. "Hughie," she
said, Il suppose you won't believe me
when | say that Pm sorry they are
heckling you about the Old Sioux
Tract"
yes, l believe you," replied Hugh,
but l must admit that I'm not par
ticularly moved by your sorrow. You
never came across until another wom-
an showed you your mistake"
II know it," answered Jessie, with
unprecedented humbleness; then she
added, bitterly, though you never
showed the side to me you showed
to her. However, didn't come to dis

Segis Pietertje Prospect, the worlds
most famous milk COW, died at her
home last week at the Carnation Milk
Farms, in Snoqualmie Valley at the
ripe old bovine age of IL years.
Few COWS in the history of the
world have attained the distinction
which she had achieved or have be-
come so widely known. Since the
time she made her remarkable record,
her picture has appeared in practical
ly all the large newspapers in the
country and has been shown on many
motion picture theatre circuits. Hun
dreds of noted men and women from
all parts of the world in various lines
have visited her either at the Carna-

when she was guest of honor at the
National Dairy Shows, among whom
have been such distinguished person
ages as Marshal Joffre, Governor Low

In 1920 she won the title of the

True to the capitalist class, the cow
ards feared to pledge their support al
tho the Progressive Miners Commit
tee had already done so.
In this struggle we saw the interna-
tional solidarity OF the capitalist class.
We see the same attempt in all lands
to cut the wages and living conditions
of the workers. We realize the fight
is an international one and must be
met and fought by the workers. or
ganized solidly and internationally.
AS the militant left wing (minority

four largest unions in Britain at this
time, so must the militant left wing
movement in America bring about an
alliance for mutual aid in America
between railroaders, miners, and ma

allied with the militant workers of
Europe for mutual aid internationally.
The progressive miners, railroaders

demand of their general officers that
a general conference of the interna.
tional officers of all unions in these
industries be called at an early date
to the end that such an alliance NAV
be formed and that the following pro-
gram of action be the basis of the
alliance:
l. A real fighting alliance must be
created between the men who dig the
coal and those who haul it. This must
not be a weak afiliation such as exists
at present, which merely exchanges
a few friendly kilograms when either
group of workers are on strike. but
the miners and railroad men must
join together for united action and
fight side by side in times of strike.
No coal must be moved by raiIroaders
when the miners are on strike, and no
coal will be mined to make steam for
scab railroaders.
2. AS the British alliance at this
time has shown the world the i'm
portance and necessity of information

statement has been issued as a call to
the militant workers in these In
dustries:
Never before in the history Of mod
ern capitalism has an industrial situa-
ton developed like the present state
of crisis. In Great Britain the miners
faced, and still face the greatest pol
itical and Industrial struggle in their
history.
British miners are driven to des-
peration thru starvation as result
Of unemployment and low wages,
which are, in turn, direct sequel to
the Dawes plan, that is slowly but
surely throttling the workers in Eur
ope. In reply to the threat to still cut
deeper into the meager wages of the
workers we find them fighting with
their backs to the wall, determined to
resist at any cost any further en-
crOachments of the capitalists.
The miners were supported by the
railroaders, machinists, and marine
transport workers. An agreement had
been concluded between the big four
in Britain, guaranteeing that no coal
would be produced or transported dur
ing the strike.
The railroaders of Britain also
threatened with a wage cut, and the
agreement between the big four at
this time is considered in the labor
circles to be the most appropriate and
important development that could
arise. and an event that has caused
the surrender of the capitalist class
before its tremendous power.
At meeting held in Paris, July
2Sth, by the members of the Internal
tional Mining Congress, it was unan-
imously decided to attempt to stop
production of any coal in excess of the
necessary amount for home consump-
ton, thereby guaranteeing no avail
able coal for international scabbery.
Today $4,000 Saar Basin miners
have struck against wage cuts, with
prospect of the German and French
miners following them Immediately to
Offset similar attacks, applied by cap

they are paid.
