Zone for all and all for one." La
boris slogan: The concern of one is
the concern of all-it's the rule, but
not always the practice. There is no
way to bring forward the true spirit
of our fundamental principles, except
by adherence to trade union methods
and loyalty to the expressed will of
the majority of the recognized unions.
The past history of the general labor
movement shows that the Cigar
Makers international Union was help
full in organizing other unions and
that it always was, and is now, loyal
to all unions affiliated to the Amer
ican Federation of Labor The In

or otherwise, interfering in the slight
est degree with the internal affairs
of other unions or the members
thereof. One of the cardinal princi-
Piles of the A. F. of L. is strict auton-
omy of affiliated unions. That prin-
ciple is based on the FACT and be-
lief that carpenter, sheet metal
worker, bricklayer or those engaged
in their own particular trade know
more about their trade, and what is
best for the members thereof, than
the cigar maker, tinker or tailor
does. 1t is to adherence to these prin-
ciples that the A. F. of l.. and affil-
lated unions owe their greatest
strength, stability and permanency.
A departure from this rule means a
lack of loyalty and mischievous, dis

Altogether too many trade unionists
wait for success. The best way to
merit success and better working con-
ditions is to do your full share as
trade unionist and label booster.

A real trade unionist can always
display the emblems of organized la
bor-union labels-as a receipt for
the money he spends.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1929-08-30

Statistics inform us that the span
of life was increased by 25 years in
the past century. The trade agree
ment and the union label were great
factors in this notable achievement.

guessed the VISIT to the ST.
Gregory had something to do
with the telephone call and was
curious. She had sincere wish
to help her cousin, to draw her
out Of the false atmosphere with
which Iris hads surrounded her
self. and this alone would have
aroused her interest In all the
girls movements; 1t might even
have caused her to pry little.
And she was TOO human not
to appreciates the drama of the
situation. If any big scenes were
to be enacted, Mary wished to be
the audience.
She had heard Of the st.
Gregory. It was a hotel down
town, far below the theatrical
and shopping district. in part
of the city which once mad been
fashionable but now was giN,srf'
over TO silk merchants and their
warehouses.
Nevertheless it maintained a
certain distinction, catering to
cosmopolitan clientele. Its big
attraction was tea room charac-
Z terized by maximum OF luxury
and minimum of light--a per-
. feet rendezvous for any who
wished to meet without publicity.
1t took Mary only a short time
TO get ready. She put on brown
velvet slip of dress touched
with gold and brown velvet tam
which made her eyes enormous
and gave her rather the look of a
child. Iris. however, spent an
hour on herself and it struck

They went downtown on the
subway and once in the tea room

tustedf powder puff against the
tin of her nose, touched her lips
with rouge, studied the angle OF
her hat in the mirror OF her
vanity case. she fixed her eyes
upon the entrance.
Mary also watched. And pre-
sently the shadow about the door
deepened just a trifle, without
motion. Then 1t seemed to pro-
iect itself outward, over the dim

Mary judged. The diamond in

in ring-a general too sleek
air proclaimed him as one whn

1t was Iris who seemed Hurried

: Two things happened in the
time they spent there to give
Mary cause for long thoughts.
The first was after Iris had
danced with Mullins. She danced

manner.

She was answered by a flash OF

turned scarlet.
The other incident grew out OF

what he was-warn herself not
to be a fool--in order to fight
back the heady, vivid, charm OF

But he was singularly insistent
and so Mary danced with him.
And on an impulse she thanked
him for the roses.
They were glorious. White

The opportunity came easily
enough. Several times he had
glanced at the eager gypsy face
across the table, attracted, per-
haps, by wholesomeness of
personality so rare as to be exotic
there. After dinner he sat down
beside her and she mentioned the
bank robbery.

plish anything, Judge Wilmer?
The papers always are saying
there'l be arrests the next day,
but there never are. Is every

The silvery head waggled
gravely, though the Judge gave
her a sharp look. There are

her. She leaped out Of bed, and

She felt about for. an electric light

room. The bulb, set in a fixture
in the ceiling, was apparently con-

looked wildly about for her clothes.

Panic went through her like
fire. She was trapped, she was
defenseless. But there was the
window.
It was locked. OF course! Nailed

open for beyond the glass were

Up to this instant she had tried
not to believe the worst.

what she did, whether or not she
