Zachariah deposited the saddlebags

instructions which sent him back to
open a bulging saddlebag and remove
therefrom a pair of soft, almost Satiny

a moment full into her Deep violet
eyes-eyes In which there was no smile,
but rather a cool intentness not far Pc

that moment he forgot himself, his

The soft light fell upon warm,
smooth cheeks; a broad, white brow !;
red, sensitive lips and a perfect mouth (;
a round firm chin; delicate nose
and the faint shadows Of imperishable
dimples that even her unsmiling ex-

that was not the construction he put

His slight feeling Of embarrassment,
and perhaps annoyance, evidently was
not shared by the young lady; so far

was by no means strained. She was

Kenneth Gwynne bowed very low

PADDED PAYROLL
in WAR TIME

Trenton, N. J.-William C. Genner-
ich, of the Ascher detective agency,
and Captain Reginald Fay, superin-
tendent of the marine department of
the New York Central railroad, face
conspiracy charges in Federal Judge
Bodine's court. They are accused Of
defrauding the government by pad
ding" the railroad company's payroll
during strike in the marine depart
ment when the lines were under fed
eral control. 1t is said that similar
charges will be made against other
minor railroad officials throughout
the country.
The government charges that Gen
nerich and Fay entered into a con-
spiracy with the late John j. Ascher
president of the Ascher detective
agency. Ascher's firm was hired by
the railroad to furnish men to act as
guards and strikebreakers. The gov
ernment alleges that Ascher, aided by
the defendants, made false claims for
payment of wages for men never on
the payroll of the company.
1t is charged that $127,000 alleged
to have been fraudulently collected
from the railroad was paid by the
government, under its wartime con.

LABOR LIFE INSURANCE

The trade unions have always tried
to protect their members against the
misfortunes of industrial life. Some
unions provide against greater variety
of mischance than others, but all
mitigate the probability of misfortune
by strengthening the economic power
of the workers. Some of the union
benefits were not based on adequate
financial reserves and had to be dis
continued or paid intermittently. With
the development of actuarial expe-
rience the rules of insurance became
Simple and fixed 1t seemed obvious
that actuarial principles could put
many benefit systems upon sounder
basis. Realizing this, international

Collective bargaining means that

Collective bargaining means that
the organized employees of trade,
craft or industry, through represen-
tatives of their own choosing, shall
deal with the employer or employers
in making wage scales and fixing
working conditions. Collective bar
gaining is the only practical proposal
for adjusting relations between the
management and the workers in a
business way, assuring fair deal to
both sides.
Each individual joins with his fell
low workman to ask collectively for
better wages and conditions of en-
ployment that he could not secure
through his own efforts alone. An
employer of, say five hundred men,
has an unfair advantage if he deals
with them as individuals. To make
the employees equal in power and in
fiuence to the employer they must be
organized, and through regularly
chosen representatives, meet the en-
ployer on a common footing. By con-
ceding points on each side an agree
ment can be finally reached that will
maintain better relations and there
for greater industrial peace.
In no other walk of life does the
idea exist that man must arbitrar-
lily accept any offer that may be made
by another. There are two sides al
ways to an agreement. Each side
ought to have equal chances to pro-
pose and insist upon what it con
sidars fair agreement.
Industrial peace can be secured
only by the righting Of wrongs suffer
ed by the workers. If body of work
ers has a grievance it can be adjust
ed only through conferences with the
employer or his representative.

BUY UNION BAKED GOODS

1t oughtn't to be necessary to harp
on this same story as we do, yet it
is fact that there is a great amount
of non-union bread and other baked
goods being sold in Hamilton that
wouldn't be if union men and their
families saw to it to buy only baked
goods bearing the union label.
Watch it in the future, brother, in
struct the family to buy only goods
bearing the bakers union label.
Don't scab, don't buy scab bread.
Sounds scaly, doesn't it-but if you
want to be sure of real clean baked
goods, see that they are union made.
