thought ! had made myself clear
before.
IF YOU don't wish me to believe
that you have something to conceal
by refusing to take part in rather
grisly game
Certainly 1 have nothing to con-
ceali" John G. Drake, banker,
snorted angrily.
"Then please bow as gracefully
as possible to necessity" Dundee
urged without rancor. And may /
ask, before we go on, if you made
your entrance at this time, and the
facts of your arrival?"
Drake considered a moment,
gnawing a thin upper lip. Beads of
sweat stood on his high, narrow
forehead
Il walked over from the country
club, after eighteen holes of golf
with your superior, the district at
torney," Drake answered, with nasty
emphasis. &C. left the clubhouse at
$40, calculating that it would take
me about twenty minutes for the
walk of-of about mile"
Dundee made a mental note to
find out exactly how far from this
lonely house in Primrose Meadows
the country club actually was, but
his next question was along another
line:
You walked, Mr.. Drake?-after
eighteen holes of golf on a warm
day?"
DRAKE'S pale, narrow face
- flushed. MY wife had the car.
I had driven out with Mr.. Sander
son, but he was called away by a
long distance message. I fingered
at the club for awhile, chatting and
-er-having cool drink or two,
then ] set out afoot."

Nov as to your arrival here"
II walked in. The door had been
left on the latch, as it usually is,
when party is on" Drake ex-
planned coldly. And was just en-
tering the room when 1 heard my
wife make the remark about COW
ering an honor with an honor, and
then her question of Penny as to
whether she should have played
second hand low"
$50 you entered this time at the
correct moment" said Dundee. Now
Mr.. Drake, 1 am going to ask you
to re-enter the room and do exactly
as you did upon your arrival at ap-
proximately 5:33."
Drake wheeled, ungraciously, and
again returned to the doorway, while
Dundee again consulted his. watch,
mentally subtracting the minutes
which had been wasted upon this
interruption, from the time he had
marked upon his memory as the
moment at which Drake had inter-
fered.
But an undercurrent of skepticism
nagged at his mind. Why had
Drake, certainly not strong look
ing man or one given to excessive
exercise, have chosen to walk? And
why had it taken him from $40 to

I'd like to know, Carolyn, if it
isn't one Of your most cherished
secrets. what you thought you had
to double on?"
Carolyn Drake bridled and pro-
tested feebly. Il thought of course
I could take two club tricks, with
my ace and king"
"Oh, WE'LL" Penny figuratively
flung up her hands, though she con-
tinued to make a pretenSe of totting
up the score, while Karen, who had
risen, stood over her like a bird
poised for flight.
At that instant Dexter Sprague
began to advance into the room,
Janet Raymond at his side, her face
flaming.
Behave exactly as you did be-
foreI" Dundee commanded in a
harsh whisper. No time for cod
ding these people now!
Dexter Sprague's face took on a
yellower tinge, but he obeyed.
"Greetings!" he called out in the
jsunty, over cordial tones of man
who knows himself not too well
come. where's Nita-and every
body? Isn't that the cocktail
shaker I hear?"
Having received no answer from
any one present, Sprague strolled
through the living room and on into
the dining room, Janet following.
Judge Marshall had nodded stif1y,
and John G.. Drake had muttered
the semblance of a greeting. {.
Were they all OVERRIDING it bit
this reacting of their hostility to
the sole remaining outsider of their
compact little group Dundee
stroked his chin thoughtfully.
But Penny was saying in her
abrupt, husky voice: above the line,
1850; below the line, 100, making a
total of 1870 on this hand, Karen"
Won't Nita be glad?" Karen
gasped, then began to run tottering-
ly, calling: "Nita! Nita" But in
the hall she collapsed, shuddering,
crying in a cfild's whimper: mo,
no! I-cant-go in there-again!"

United States in the practice of

the United States at their meeting

In thirteen European countries he

have a degree in legal medicine as
well as his regular medical degree,
and he is expected to find the facts,
not to help convict a prisoner or

Published Interview
Rejects Exploited

NEW YORK.-"The areas In
which persons are exploited are
fields for machine politics and Com
munism. They are not fertile soil
for us (the socialist party. The
socialist party appeals more and
more to the persons who have the
intellectual capacity 10 analyze and

This is statement by Charles Sol
ONION, big leader and candidate of
the socialist party. the man who got
the Injunction under which the police
shot and killed Steve Katovis. 1t was
given in an interview to reporters
and printed in the Brooklyn Eagle,
dated Oct. 26.
He was commenting on the facts
shown by the votes in the last cleo
ton, that the socialists have nc
strength in the lower East Side, in
Brownsville. in Harlem or in any
working class district, and that their
votes come only from the silk stock
ing districts.
Not For Exploited Workers
Solomon went on as follows:
'The strength of the socialist
party lies in the intelligent middle
class, and not, as has been popular
ly supposed, among the exploited
workers"

Leaders in Court Today
Fight for Relief and
Insurance Goes On

NEW YORK. - Tons of printers
ink talking about new jobs and re-
lief for the jobless, but no new jobs
and no relief featured the action OF
the Woods Committee yesterday.
A promise that $347,OOo would be
spent some time in the future to
give about 1900 men occasional beds
for the night at the East Is Street
recreation pier, and promise OF 1000
jobs this winter at park work were
all that Tammany would offer. APP
parently ev; i the provision promised
for 10000 to 10000 has already been
forgotten.
But Jail for Jobless.
But Tanmany courts continue
today to grind out punishment for
the spokesman of the jobless whose
mass demonstrations and demands
on the city board of estimates forced
even such weak promises and modest
relief as the city is making. Nessin,
Lealess and Stone, members of the
committee who were beaten up in
the board of estimates room october
Is, appear today at 10 a. m. in the
criminal court building on charges
of unlawful assembly" Lealess and
Stone were in Jail all day yesterday,
and committee from the Council
of the Unemployed was refused per-
mission to see them.
With these three, j. Louis Eng
dahl, Communist candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, and two other
workers will also appear in the same
court on charges of disorderly con-
duct. Engdahl, chairman of the
October l6 committee, tried to speak
to the $4,000 demonstrators outside
of City Hall after he was elected
from the board room. Mayor Walker
and several from the board of es-
Inmates are subpoenated.
Vote Communist!
Meanwhile the fight goes on. The
police report only $1,000 jobless,
though the head of the city welfare
commission admits there are 100000
in New York. Promises are cheap
before election big Communist
vote alone will put fear enough into
capitalist politicians to make them
remember any promises after cleo
ton. Vote Communist, for the I'm
employed Insurance Bill, and for
immediate relief to be given from
the $2O7,0Oo,OO0 the city intends to
hand over to bankers and police!

NEW YORK. Mobilize in the

Union Square right after work, Mon
day, November 3 ! Turn out in tens
of thousands for the demand for real

The fight the Communist Party
and the Trade Union Unity League
have been leading for the last year
for unemployment insurance and i'm
mediate unemployed relief has had
another effect on the ice cream
mayor of the city of New York.
After voting a million dollars for
the close to a million unemployed
of New York on the day. the Com
munist demonstration at City Hall
and the beatings of Nessin, Stone
and Lealess took place, the Board
of Estimates again, as a means Of
getting the votes for Tammany,
threw out some more relief to the
sum of $347,OO0 Altogether, if the
grafters do not take a hand in it

employed workers and his family for
the entire winter.
The Communist Party and the
Trade Union Unity League through
numerous demonstrations and mass
activities have placed the unemploy-
ment question on the order of bust
ness and into the election.
This proves that only by fighting
can the unemployed as we'll as the
employed workers get something out
of the capitalist class. But the
workers will not be fooled by Hoover
old tricks and by the crumbs the
Tammany grafters are throwing out
to the unemployed masses. The
workers are determined to get real
relief, not in the distant future, but
this winter. The workers are de-
termined to get unemployment in
surance at the expense of the gov
eminent. The workers are deter
mined to get immediate relief to the
extend of $25 week for every worker
out OF a job and SIS additional for
every dependent, to fight evictions,
to fight speed-up, and wage reduc-
tons. This determination will be
voiced by the tens of thousands of
workers of Greater New York on the
eve of election day, Monday, No
vember 3, at p. m. at Union Square.
