an original No Trump on his left, with
his holding. was to bid two Spades, to
indicate to his partner the desired
lead. South, with four Spades to the
Ace-nine, which holding usually de-
velops as two shoppers, bids two No
Trumps, as there is always a fair
chance of finding at least one honor

Final Bid ...

Trick 6. South avoids an immediate
try for the Club finesse awaiting fur
ther developments following the lead
of the long Heart in Dummy, which
will force a second and possibly more
revealing discard by East, who has
already, from his Spade discard, shown
the probable necessity of guarding the
Club honor.
Trick Z. East's discard of a Sec
ond Spade provides South with the
needed opportunity to effect the end
play necessary for game.

Threatened Traction Strike
In Chicago Averted as New
Arbitrators Are Selected

cember IL. An agreement was reach
ed to change arbitrators. The mass
meeting was called off.
New Arbitrators Named
The two new arbitrators who are
authorized to negotiate an agreement
binding upon both parties up to June
1, 1920, are Alderman Oscar F. Mel
son, acting for the 21,000 car en-
ployes, and Guy A. Richardson, gen.
eral manager of the Chicago Surface
Lines, who will represent the COM
panies.
These two will hear evidence sup
porting, on the one hand, the demand
Of the unions for an increase of Is
cents an hour, and on the other hand,
the insistence of the companies that
a reduction of cents an hour should
be made.
Should the arbitrators fail to agree
within a reasonable time they must
select third member of their board
of arbitration, and sit with him until
an award is rendered.
Signers of Agreement
The agreement was signed by VIII
liam Quinlan, president of Division
241. Amalgamated Association Of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
of America, and Joseph j. Kehoe, re-
cording secretary of the union, and
by Henry A. Blair, president of the
Chicago Surface Lines, and Frank L.
Hupp, secretary.

Chicago.-The threatened strike Of
the $1,000 employees of the Chicago
surface and elevated lines immediate
ly prior to Christmas, and the almost
certain disruption of the two locals
here of the Amalgamated Association
of Street and Electric Railway En-
ployes of America as a result, was
averted and turned into a victory
through the superb generalship of w.
d. Mahon, of Detroit, international
president of the organization,
staunchly backed by the veteran
Chicago local union officers
The crisis reached dramatic CHI
max at a conference held in the cham
bers of Federal District Judge James
H. Wilkerson, on December 10. Pres
ent at this conference were Judge
Wilkerson, President Mahon, officers
of the two local unions, representa-
tives of the companies, receivers of
certain of the lines which are in the
hands of the federal court, and Mayor
William Hale Thompson and Alder
man Oscar F. Nelson, vice president
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
Companies Warned to Keep Pact
The companies were told at this
conference that they would have to
abide by the arbitration agreement
entered into last June and underwrit-
ten by Judge Wilkerson.
Following expiration of the wage
scale last spring and failure to reach
a new agreement, Judge Kickhan
Scanlan had been selected as arbitel
for the men and E. J. McIlraith te
represent the companies. These two
were to select third man. They were
unable to agree and the men became
impatient and demanded a showdown

ganizations and an indepedent candi-
date would simply be up against a
brace game, with about as much
chance as cat with tallow legs would
have in the Internal regions.
Attempt at Reform Beaten
Governor Len Small and the general
assembly endeavored to rectify this
evil situation when in 1925 an act
was passed providing for judicial
primary election law for Cook county.
The supreme court very promptly de-
clared the law unconstitutional.
Governor Small fathered another
attempt at improvement of the stu
alton by having a provision inserted
in the primary law passed by the
1927 session of the legislature order
ing that precinct committeeman
throughout the state must stand for
election at stated times. This law,
too, has been declared unconstitu-
tional by Judge Harry M. Fisher, of
Chicago, beneficiary of the outrage
ously rotten old system, and his de-
cision is now before the state supreme
court for review.
Special Session to Be Called
1t is believed that the Fisher deci-
sion will be upheld by the supreme
court, and Governor Small has de-
clared his intention of calling spe-
cial session of the legislature to en-
act a new primary election law, in
order that the people may not be rob-
bed of their right to directly name all
candidates for office at the 1928 cleo
tions, even down to precinct commit
teemen.
Upon the precinct committeeman
rests the party organization. He is
the organization in the final analysis.
Whoever controls a majority of the
precinct committeeman controls the
party organization.
Action Called Imperative
President Walker points out to the
trade unionists and sympathizers in
his statewide appeal the imperative
necessity of being alive to the duty
in reference to the important matter
of selecting proper persons to serve
as precinct committeeman in both
political parties.

New York.-The charge that the

that this power would be lost if en-

Chicago.-An appeal to become po-
litically active at once in order to en-
compass the defeat of injunction
judges has been issued to the trade
unionists of Illinois by John H.
Walker, president of the Illinois
State Federation of Labor. Presi-
dent Walker specifically recon-
mends that special effort be made
to elect republican and democratic
precinct committeeman known to be
friendly to the principles and pur-
poses of organized labor.
A peculiar situation in reference to
the nomination of judicial candidates
has existed in Illinois for many years.
Instead of the candidates for the
ehancery courts being selected by di-
rect vote of the people or by conven-
tions of delegates specially elected for
SiietS Pdl POSSS LiiS IldSS
been made in conventions composed of
hand-picked precinct committeeman, a
vast majority of whom never have
been elected by direct VOTE Instead
they have been appointed by the
party bosses.
Coalition" Tickets Named
Here in Cook county the practice
has grown up of nominating "coali-
ton" tickets for judges of the supe-
rior and circuit courts. 1t is these
courts which have jurisdiction over
the issuance of writs of injunction.
The municipal judges, who try police
court and some state cases, are nomi-
mated by the people at primary cleo
tions.
The republican and democratic
bosses make up coalition" states for
judges of the circuit and superior
bench in back room conferences. Then
alleged conventions of republican and
democratic precinct committeeman
meeting in separate halls, ratify the
states selected by the bosses.
No matter how absolutely rotten
the candidates selected in this manner
may be, the people have no choice in
the matter, as the ticket thus chosen
has the backing of both political or.
