CHAPTER Xiv

TT ERA CAMERON could scarce
MI ly take her eyes off Paul AL
III lison, although she had been
furtively studying him for most of
the two hours that she had known
him. He sat at the cleared dinner
table, with his coffee cup before
him and a cigaret between his thin,
long fingers, talking advertising
with Jerry Macklyn.
His slight, almost boyish figure
was dressed in disheveled, cheap
suit Of dark blue serge, but it was
not his clothes that puzzled and
fascinated her; it was his face.
For Paul Allison was frankly
homely, with his rumpled, thin hair
Of a nondescript light brown, his
deep-set, gray eyes that were too
intense, too luminous, as if inner
fires we're burning him up, his thin,
long nose, his pale, thin cheeks.
what is it about him that has
so fascinated Vivian Crandall that
she is willing to give up social posi-
ton, a fortune, her parents, every
thing for love of him?" the girl
nnarveled to herself.
"Why-he's almost ugly! Jerry Is
handsome beside him. Maybe it's
his mind. He must be frightfully
clever"
The longer Vee-Vee watched them
the beautiful woman who had
been a Princess and the homely,
magnetic man who would not mar
ry her until she had proved that
she could make a poor mans wife
the sharper and more hurting was
the envy which twisted her heart.
She had been through incredible
adventures during the six days that
had elapsed since she had Jared
forth into the world as an almost
exact duplicate, outwardly at least,
Of a famous princess and heireSs.
In those six days her world had
collapsed. Her idol had been shat
tered, revealing that not only his
feet, but his heart, were Of clay.
She had lost love, or, rather, had
never found it, and she had looked,
naked-eyed and. unrrepared, upon
mems greed and mans lust.
Ready to talk business now,
everybody" Vivian asked. after she
and Paul had cleared the table of
the coffee service.
Without waiting for spoken con-
sent, she arranged writing materials
on the table before her and spoke in
her clear, cool voice-always cool,
except when she addressed Paul
Allison:
Paul has consented to my plan,
Vee-Vee, largely for your sake. He
likes you and wants to spare you all
possible unpleasantness. This briefly,
is the situation: I am on proba-
ton, self-imposed probation, for
three months.

editor. The DAILY WORKFR,


We, the Branch of the Minneapolis
Alliance of the United Ukrainian
Toilers' Organization, realize the
necessity of a fund for The DAILY
WORKER. Yours is our paper, the
only paper in the English language
which fights the battles Of the work
ing class. Therefore every class
conscious worker should help finan-
cially in this critical time.
We know that The DAILY WORK
Err fought to the finish for our COM
rades Sacco and Vanzetti and that the
struggle is still going on, even after
the murder of our two innocent COM
rades.
The American capitalist class wants
to suppress The DAILY WORKER by
all means because it has fought and
will fight for the working class.
Therefore we appeal to all comrades
and working class organizations to
help The DAILY WORKER. We arc
sending you $500 for the fund.

1876 cents in 1926, while stockholders
got return of 1894 share. If we
take into account recent stock divi-
dends and changes in the par value
of the stock, this years profit means
a return of about 70 per cent on the
investment of the owners.

flour in addition to various package
cereals, is the only one of the three

Superlative Flour, Ceresota, H-O oat-
meal and Force. 1t does not reveal
its total sales but its profits for the
year ended June 80 amounted to
$1,772,752, a return of $11.07 per
share of common stock. If we take
into account recent stock dividends
this means a return of about 1872
per cent on the owners prewar in
vestment.
Flour milling is an industry in
which the value by manufacture is
only small per cent of the sales
value of the product. According to
the 1928 census of manufacturers
15la cents out of each dollar paid the
mills for flour covers the entire cost
of manufacture including the profits
and sales expenses of the milling
companies. Wage earners employed
in the mills get only cents out of
each dollar which pays them an
average annual wage of $1183.
The 1927 profit of the milling com
panies, ranging from 2.65 cents on
the dollar in the case of Washburn-
Crosby to 3.65 cents in the case of
thus represents from 1853
per cent to 22.4 per cent of the en-
tire value added by the milling pro-
cess including the cost of competitive

effort. Thus the more lucrative mills

Fearful that readers might draw
the inference that the American
Negro Labor Congress was DESTROYS
for Negroes to enroll in the American
Legion ranks from the comment
which appeared under my name in
the columns of The DAILY WORKER
for September Is, I am DESTROYS that
you publish the following comment:
"The American Negro Congress is
unalterably opposed to the American
Legion, not alone because of the Legi-
on's Negro-baiting propensities, but
as well because of the vicious attitude
of the American Legion to all labor
organizations in this country, and
particularly because of the attitude
of the Legion in the Sacco-V anzetti
case. Boring from within tactics
cannot be employed in an organiza-
ton Of this kind. The American
Negro Labor Congress favors the ut
ter destruction Of the Legion"
