| She forced a quiet smile. "All right" she said. But you-ar1 there any more questions you want to ask about me and last night?'
 He lighted cigarette and stared for an instant at the blue spiral curling upward from it's tip.
 No, he said. T guess your story is straight, and I guess you be- lieve you thought I was your broth CT. As soon as you're able to go out I'll take you over to your place and give that book you say you're writing the once-over as a sort of check-up, and then call it a ca.e Of mistaken identity and let it go at that"
 Mistaken identityl He had said that too, as though he meant it-- and believed it.

 "Aw, say, snap out of it!" he eX- claimed with a tolerant grin. I've told you straight you've got the wrong number. Whats the use Of going to the mat with the thing again?"
 Because" she answered quickly If you really believe what you say. then there is something terribly strange about it all You are Roy, and my brother I am certain of it. If for some incredible reason you do not recognize me, then at least you know you had sister and that you lived in Winnipeg

PAUL FAILED TO KEEP

KLAWACK, Alaska, Jan.,27, 1880. To the Editor, Daily Empire: Some ten years ago MT. w. L. Paul promised the Indians that if they YCte for him that he would recom- mend them for some Government jobs such as Marshal and both Game and Fish Wardens. So they all voted for him and soon as he got in he forget all about the h. dians and recommended Fred Gard nor from Craig, and now he starts the same thing again.
 The only time he cares for h. dians is clcse to the election. Eight at Ketchikan in 1923, la said the Indian vote is not important to him, and now why should he care fl I am against him or not. l want the public to know 5hat I am not againss ,1e Alaska Native e Brotherhood, but I am against the methods praeticed in the Alaska Native Brotherhood by our leaders. lie sure said a mouthful when he slid that Paul brothers is what put the Alaska Native Brotherhood where 1t is today, otherwise the Ala5Ga Native Brotherhood would be far ahead. The reason that he has no Use for Klawack is that the people here are far-slghted and he cant do much with the people. Poor Paul has a few spies here at Klawack to watch W. J. Chuck for him but they can't find anything for him. Chuck is working for the good of the Alaska Native Brotherhood rot to get rich off the Alasl;a Native Brotherhood.

 SHARED WITH TEAM OF HORSES

LEWISTON, Mont. Feb. 15-Tales have beon cold and retoid of the faithfulness of dogs, but William Sweeney's dog must share his honor Of observing the code of dog dom with Sweeney's team of horses.
 Frozen and lying beside his over- turned load of hay, the body of Sweeney, a rancher, was found with bullet wound in his right breast. The coroner advanced the theory that SWeeney's rifle discharged when the load of hay upset, send ing a bullet into the mans body. The tragedy occurred two nights ago
 Keeping watch over Sweeney's body was his dog and the team of horses stood in it's tracks all the while, despite blizzard and sub zero temperature.

In what way could she best han ale Roy? By meeting him more os less on his own ground? We'll, she would try that, anyhow.

 She used the only weapon sht had. T did not think of my owr skin last night, did I?' she inquired coldly.
 For an instant he stood rocking on his feet. glaring at her-anr then suddenly was contrite. NO I'll say you didn't, SisT he said Say, don't hold what said against me-

Chapter 12 LOVER yS. BROTHER

The Big Shot paced up and down Enids room, his fists clenched muttering vagely under his breath. As Enid watched. his face became hard set and there was something even tigerish in his ex- pression.
 How different from the Roy she had known in those happy days in Winnipeg. She had never known him to indulge in mad outbursts Of passion but neither had she ever been conscious that he pos sessed violent criminal tendencies, Surely this was her brother; why he denied It she could not surmise.
 What a cruel blow fate had dealt her to have her brother and the man she loved arrayed against each other. She loved them both and was determined to stop, if she could, any act of revenge on Roy's part.

are the words most frequently heard.
After an hour of waiting you may
possibly get slip bearing the name
and address of someone who has a
job to offer.
You = Try away eagerly, apply
little lip-stick and powder-judi-
ciously-not enough to look brazen,
but just little to give your face
a ,sh and healtl IL appearance.
You put on smile and try to throw
a cheerful tone into your voice.
You've got to show that you have a
pleasing personality-you've got to
sell yourself. You begin to rehearse
all your special qualifications for
this particular job. And then you
arrive, only to find that IA others
have been sent to the same place,
and that the position is already
filled. Another halliday wasted and
another 10 cents gone.
But perhaps the want ads are
better than the agencies. At least,
all the first weeks salary won't
have to go as fee to the agency.
SO you try the want ads. An ad
for "Welfare Workers" turns out to
be a realty lot-selling scheme. You
Persuade (if you can!) tenement
jewellers to buy suburban lots and
build their own homes. When you
sell a lot you get commission.
This is called welfare work"
An ad for someone to look after
an apartment house brings out more
than a hundred women. A measley
little job that does not offer much
save a place to sleep, yet there are
women so desperate that they fight
each other for first place in line.

Women needle trades delegates

offices, 131 West 28th St., for the
Women's Eastern Conference, which
starts today in Irving Plaza Hall

The women workers are vital
element in the needle trades and
showed their militancy particularly
in the struggle to defend gains of
the Industrial Union against the
company unions attempt to impose
upon them the six-day week by
means of the present fake strike in
New York.
Other struggles are looming, par
ticularly in Boston, and the New
York workers are fighting under the
slogan of keep the 40-hour week,
which the Schlesinger company union
is betraying." The 40-hour week is
particularly important to women
needle workers, and the present con-
ference will rally vast support for

in the South was thus welcomed"
back by starving and freezing work
ers. The Superintendent of Police,
William B. Mills, sent force of
200 police, mostly mounted to attack
the demonstration reminding" the
demonstrators, according to the cap
italist press yarns Of all the fancy
restrictions designed to prevent the
working class from exercising its
right of assembly.
Bill Murdoch, of the Trade Union
Unity League and June Croll of
the Workers International Relief
tried to speak, and the police at
tackled viciously, clubbing savagely
at the unemployed workers.
Not All One-Sided.
The workers fought back so ener-
getically, however, that one police
sergeant was endorsed from his
mount, and two policemen are re-
ported sent to the hospital along
with several workers, one of whom,
Morton Welsh, has severe head
wounds. Seventeen workers are ar
rested, including Ed. Stoneway of
the Council of Unemployed, Ed.
Bender of the Communist Party and
Joe Schandler of the Young Com
munist League, charged with "dis-
turbing the peace"
This attempt, and it is a vain
attempt, to suppress the unemploy-
ed in their fight against capitalist
starvation, follows the release yes
terday on exorbitant bail of Joe Drill
of the T.U.U.L. and E. CARLOS, or
ganizer of the Communist Party
who were arrested Tuesday at the
unemployed meeting in Kensington.
The hearing was featured by the
scoundrelly way the capitalist mag
istrate Costello, at the hearing tried
to pretend that the unemployed do
not want work; eff people look seri-
ously for work, there would be no
unemployment" said the malicious
agent of capitalism.
The horse laughs of the court
packed with jobless workers, how
ever, gave "his honor" rebuttal.
The Kensington meetings will be
resumed in few days, in the head
quarters just opened by the T.U.U.L.
and the Communist Party at Philips
and Somerset Streets. Besides, there
are number of Unemployed Coun-
ellis functioning in various parts of
the city, meeting regularly despite
the police interference.

A conference called by the TUUL
and the Unemployed Councils will be
held on Feb. %, at 1908 Tasket ST.,
to organize better for International

The case of the three workers ar

and the acquittal of Novak and Git

This will be answered by a protest
meeting at the same place today.
