Call Out Workers May
Have Little Effect.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, October 15.-By a district
vote in the coal fields, the miners
have indorsed the decision of the re-
cent miners delegates conference to
Withdraw the safety men from the
mines. The vote for withdrawal was
460,150 and against withdrawal 2S4, =
1886.
The delegate conference decided on
withdrawal of the safety men when it
vas found impossible to reach a set
tlement Of the strike under the gov
ernments proposals. The Miners
Federation will meet tomorrow and
decide whether to act on the vote. but
as the federation controls only 40 per
cent of the safety men. Wniir -"
union controlling the other 60 per cent
has emphatically decided against
withdrawal, it is considered doubtful
whether the federation will so to this
extreme.
A few days ago Secretary Shirkie

to withdraw the safety workers ''as a
mere bluff" At that time ne declared
that his union would not withdraw

In any case. it is understood that
the government is fully prepared to
employ naval ratings to replace the
safety men if they are called ont.

TT HAD always been such a nice,
L deceptive way in which to
speak of specially delicious and
delectable sweets-sugar plums.
Her grandmother had called can
dies and candied fruits and lus-
cious bonbons sugar plums." !" And
she had always, because she liked
candied fruits so particularly,
called them sugar plums.'
1t had been seventeen years since
Rose had first remembered hear
ing of "sugar plums." She had been
three then, and her grandmother
had said in the wise, wise way
that grandmother always had of
knowing what was what, eyes. only
Santa Claus knows how to get the
choicest of sugar plums."
Rose was very busy getting
ready for Christmas. 1t was busy
time in the family. There were
mince pies to be made and plum
puddings, and almonds to salt, and
fudge to make, and WreathS to
make, and bells to fix, and fresh
candles to put in candle-sticks-
red candles at this time Of the
year.
1t was time for general cheer,
and from Roses famAE--a great
share of this cheer went forth.
1t was not that they were
wealthy. They were, in fact, the
opposite.
But it was their great satisfac-
ton that by hard work and great
energy of spirit they could do a
great deal in a small way for every
one with whom they came in con-
tact at this season of the year.
Every present, no matter how
simple, was prettily wrapped.
There was no condescension in
their giving. To them it was big
part of their Christmas delight that
they knew so many people with
whom >>they could share their
Christmas sacrifices and the result
Of the late hours they kept for
weeks before Christmas in their in

to about it first"
Billy had his own ideas. "Sugar
plums." Joe had consulted his
mother and there had been a sew
ing box Oh, she couldn't tell just
why, perhaps, but she did love Billy
and she didn't love Joe. Perhaps
1t was because Billy was just a
dear.
Nogales international., 1926-12-26

ing was always such fun through
out the early autumn. OF what use
was saving if it were all to be for
ever hidden?
There, were two presents await
ing Christmas morning for Rose to
unwrap. They were for her and
she had taken them in when they
arrived, but she had not opened
them.
She was curious about these
presents. She knew they would
be quite simple, but one was from
Billy and one was from Joe, and both
Billy and Joe had lately been run
ming race, as it were, for Roses
acceptance of engagements. for her
favors
She liked Billy much better than
she did Joe. She knew that Billy
liked her She knew that Joe liked
her, too. She felt that Joe would
always make her very comfortable,
would always be very kind. very
dutiful, and that she would always
have to be dutiful, too.
OF course, that was all right.
But she felt that with Billy she
would want to make him very
happy, and with Joe, that would be
so much more of q duty.
Yet Joe was more reliable, he
was less irresponsible, less sponta-
neous, and so much more exact.
But Billy was such a dear!
She could label all Joe's good
points Billy's were. less tangible,
but they were there, all right,
even if she couldn't name them.
She helped her mother with the
last Christmas Eve touches, COW
cred the fire over with ashes, put
out the light and finally went to
bed.
The next morning she opened
Joe's present first. Somehow she
wanted to keep Billy's to the last,
the way she had done with things
when she was q child.
There was a little note with Joe's
present, telling her what she knew
he had been wanting to tell her for
a long time-how much he thought
Of her, what good wife he knew
Nogales international., 1926-12-26

"The sugar plums' win," she
said, land I'd love the diamond
ring"
Billy didn't quite understand the
first part Of her sentence, but he
did the last-and, after all, that
was all that was necessary!

charge of reckless driving. Several

on his mind. The Judge pointed out
that especially in the case of an in
experienced driver like Mr.. James

September 10. if children were seen
playing near TIE road the car should
be driven at such speed that il
could be brought to stop at once.

driving at so miles an hour and vet
not be guilty of reckless driving
while another person might be nro-
crossing at miles an hour and still
