ventionally decent about it, and
agreed, although more wholeheart-

suppressed envy.
With her mother and father sit

excuse for it anyway, Irene had not
dared say what she really felt con-
corning Beryl's debut.
She could not refrain, however
from remarking that of course any
one who appreciated music could
not care for Beryl's singing. If
people really wanted that sort of
thing, it was just lucky for Beryl,
that was all.

remarked sneeringly. Mr.. Dorgan
turned quickly in his seat to see
who dared so to nalign his son.

that it was Irene. II guess Mike

her companion. why did you

demanded warthfully.
Why, you wanted to comet
Tommy stammered in surprise.
Well. I want to gop she said
and got to her feet. Her compan-
ion followed, uncomfortable under
the amused glances and half-sup-
pressed grins of those who had
overheard the conversation.

Gosh, Irene, what's the matter

asked. zone minute you're as

"Of course you wouldn't under

per Of self-pity. I'm perfectly
wretched and no one has any sym
pathy for me"
That's all nonsense" Tommy said
boldly. "But if you're so unhappy
why don't you marry me?"
II don't want to marry you just
to escape my unhappiness," Irene
replied nobly.
Tommy was too much impressed
with the sentiment to consider the
rapidity with which she had
changed from anger to self pity then
to self-sacriflce. Never had he
suspected Irene Of being insincere.
What's that got to do with it, he
asked, IF you love ne?"
Everything, Tommy Irene said
wistfully. Don't you see? When !

there's nothing else in the world that

FACES JOB RACKET
CHARGE

New York.-Louis Kappalman was
arrested and indicted as the principal
in scheme to sell jobs to unemploy-
ed seamen for from $50 to $3.50. For
thirty years he had sold jewelry and
clothing to men in the merchant ma
rine service. The indictment alleges
eleven acts of extortion in the last
three years.
Thomas E. Dewey, chief assistant
United States attorney, announced that
the government had begun an investi-
cation to determine what part en-
ployes of steamship lines had played
in the conspiracy.
Before the depression Kappalman
succeeded in getting the jobs he
promised, but since the business
slump made employment scarce he
has accepted money but failed to live
up to his agreement, it is charged.
A federal law prohibits the acceptance
of any fee for obtaining work for
sailors.
In some instances, according to
United States Attorney Lous M.
Treadwell, Kappalman obtained work
for seamen and then arranged for
them to be discharged so that he
could hire others in their place and
double his fees.

PLUMBERS VOTE
AGAINST POLL
ON REFERENDUM
Union Decides By Over
whelming Majority to
Postpone Convention.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Re-
markable tribute has just been paid
the officers of the United Association
of Journeymen Plumbers and Steam
Filters by referendum vote of the
membership of the entire organiza-
ton.
In poll that was carried approx
mately IL to /, the membership of
this big international has decided to
defer until November, 1885, the tax
! ing of the customary referendum on
! the question whether convention
shall be ordered.
Had the recent vote not been taken,
or had it been defeated, the member
ship would have voted this year OH
whether to hold the usual quadren-
nial convention.
Big Majority for Proposal
The result of the referendum just
taken has just been tailed and is an
nounced to ILNS as follows: In fa-
vor of postponement, 33,864; against
postponement, 1902; total vote cast,
1886.
The tremendous majority by which
the referendum proposal was carried
is regarded here as remarkable
tribute to the officers, in whose hands
the affairs of the organization rest
until another convention is ordered
and held; and at the same time it dis
plays on the part of the general
membership of the United Associa-
tion very high degree of statesman
ship and business sagacity, as we'll as
demonstrating magnificent spirit of
confidence and cooperation with their
general executive board and officers.
Question Voted On
The question voted on was: "Shall
the referendum proposition for or
against convention to be sent out in
November be postponed until Novem-
ber, 1895, and shall the moneys now
held in the convention fund and other
accumulations in said fund up to and
including December, next year, 1882,
be transferred to the general fund 2"
When the vote was taken the union
had $174,502.82e in its convention
fund. 1t is estimated that by Decem-
Der, next year, the total will be ap-
proximately 100000, all of which will
be turned into the general fund, to
aid in the protection of the wage and
! working conditions and principles of
the United Association.
The vote is the more remarkable in
view Of the fact that all expenses and
wages of delegates are paid to them
out of the convention fund, which is
derived FROM the detachment of a
percentage of dues. BY voting to de-
fer the convention a great many
members were voting to deprive them
selves of convention trip at organ
ization expense.

Canada, after being found guilty by
a jury on three charges: "being
members of an unlawful association
acting as members of an unlawful
association, and being parties to a
seditious conspiracy" Thomas Cacie,
who was not very active in the party,
was given sentences of two and one
years, also running concurrently.
Those receiving five-year sentences
were Tim Buck, secretary of the
party; Malcolm Bruce, editor of the
Worker, party organ; Tom Even,
John Breychuk, Amos T. Hill and
Matthew Popovitch All except Bruce

Company Official Denied
Workmen's Compensation

Raleigh, N C.-The North Caro-
lima supreme court held that an ex-
executive vice president of ia COR
poration who is killed in the perform
ance of duties that do not lie within
the field of duties of an ordinary
workman or employe is not an en-
ploye within the meaning of the work
mems compensation act and conse-
quently his heirs are not entitled to
compensation.
The vice president was killed while
in New York negotiating trust con-
tracts and other business for his
company. The North Carolina indus
trial commission ruled that he came
under the workmen's compensation
act The superior court of Durham
county reversed the lewiston of the
commission and the supreme court
sustained the superior court.

All property of the communist
party was declared forfeit to the
crown.
The trial was one of the longest in
the criminal annals of Canada, and
focused nationwide attention. The
principal witness for the prosecution
was sergeant of Royal Canadian
mounted police, who for seven years
masqueraded as member of the
communist party and secured mass
of evidence.
A main point made by the prosecu-
ton was that the program of the
party sanctioned the use of force and
violence.
The communist leaders swore that
they had never advocated the use of
force or violence. They denied that
the decisions of the communists inter-
national was binding on the party in
Canada, though it had put up $4,000
to launch the party here 10 years ago.
Before imposing sentences Justice
Wright said the crime for which the
men were convicted struck at the
very foundations of society.
"The party was on trial as much
as the individual members of it." the
judge declared. And with the ruling
of the jury that it is an unlawful as
sociation, any member of former
member of the organization may be
subject to prosecution.
