NEW YORK, March 29.-It was
very gratifying TO return from the
golfing wars at Augusta and find
that my campaign OF several years
against the absurdity of the hockey
playoff system had begun to take
effect.
1t has always been my contention
that the plan, whereby teams that
finished as low in the regular sea-
son are given an equal chance with
the first place clubs for the cup,
didn't make sense. Moreover, that
it was high handed money-mak-
ing scheme foisted on the public by
the promoters of the game, and that
it should not be patronized. Not
Cnce, but a dozen times, 1 shinnied
to the housetopS and implored one
and all to snub the playoffs and
bring the hockey moguls to their
senses.
1t was heartening, therefore, to
read the reports of the games ana
find that the citizens had needed
my message. Here in New York they
needed it to such as extent, that
only 10000 of them went to the
garden to watch the Rangers and
Maroons, and only 1900 policemen
were required to handle the over
flow.
This is the power of the press.

THE clouds piled faster and faster. Ellie and
! Jim almost hoped they would cover
the heavens entirely so that the sun would be
obscured Its heat was terrific as its rays beat
down upon their unprotected skins.
Charlie still wasn't strong. Jim knew that
it was a bare two weeks since he had recovered
from his illness He was afraid the exertion OF
rowing was telling on him; he pulled and
painted from the unusual effort, and several
times stopped to wipe the perspiration from his
forehead
Let me row awhile, Charlie" suggested the
boy. I'm tired of sitting still
"All right If you don't mind. I do feel
little tuckered," he gasped between pulls on the
oars Jim moved up to the middle seat and
started to take Charles place. Just as the
fisherman got up, he reeled and sat down
heavily the seat again. holding his head in
his hands
Quick, Ellie! Some water! Charles going
to faint!
Ellie brought the water jug and they held
the cup to his lips 1t revived him bit and
he grinned at them sheepishly.
Guess amt as strong as thought was"
he muttered. Maybe you better row awhile,
jim Iii just lie down here the stern and
rest for a couple of minutes"
They watched him anxiously as he made his
way to the wide seat on the stern and sat down
weakly. Jim took the oars and whispered to
Ellie:
Try to hold piece of canvas up to shield
him from the sun, and fan him little. He's
pretty well tired out"
I'M found the rowing more strenuous than
~ he had expected. He thought to himself
that rowing roWboat is vastly different from
rowing large craft containing heavy engine.
Nevertheless he continued to pull with wide
strokes in and out among the islands. Charlie,
Ellie whispered to him, was doing.
Crash! The thunder rolled in long boom,
and lightning played on the water. A slight
breeze sfted toward them, and relieved the
heat for moment. The sun all but OBJ
scured and only toward the east was there any
blue sky. 1t began to grow dark; the breeze
stiffened to little wind which rustled among
the mangroveS
Scared, Ele?" asked Jim.

Just then white streak of lightning was fol-
lowed by thunderouS crash. Her face became
white. but she smiled gamely. "Are y-you?"
"Ha. hal" Jim's laugh sounded little forced
Takes more than storm to scare mel" He
tried to conceal his trembling lips from her by
turning his face away

open water Soon,' remarked Ellie. 1T didn't
take us this long to get into the swampS."
Il think 1 recognize this island" returned
Jim, rounding a bend. About two islands
more, and we should be headed straight home"
RUT after navigating the channels around
= the two more islands, they found them
selves still in the midst of the swamp. The
lightning showed Charlie still doing soundy.
The boy and girl wanted to find their way
without waking him, if possible. A few more
islands, and still no open water in sight They
gave up, and shook Charlie to awaken him.
He sat up in a half daze.

The day was hot and STILL without a breath

STREETCAR MEN
ASK FOR PAY
BOOST

BOSTON-(FP)-A demand for a
20 per cent increase in wages and a
40-hour week for 1900 union carmen
employed on the Eastern Massachu-
sets Street Railway system are to be
presented to the trustees.
The demand is in accordance with
instructions voted by the II unions in
the various cities in which the COM
pany operates.
The contract under which the men
now work expires on June 1. The
men are now paid Csc an hour on the
basis of a 48-hour week which be-
came operative in 1881, when the men
voluntarily took a 10 per cent cut in
wages to avert discharges and layoffs
of their fellow-workers. The de-
mand for a % per cent increase on
the basis of a 4O-hour week would
increase the maximum to Sic an hour
or a weekly wage of S32.4O. The
weekly wage on the present maximum
for a week of 48 hours is $31.20.

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, With the greatest num-
bers in all walks of life in Butte's
history unemployed, some employers
have made a practice of importing
persons for jobs with no regard for
members of some Butte local unions
who were unemployed and competent.
President Roosevelt asks every City
and Community to do its utmost to
take care Of its unemployed, but does
not ask or expect any city or COM
munity to attempt to take car Of any
of the unemployed of any other city
or community. Therefore, be it re-
solved:
That any employer shall be con-
sidered as UNFRIENDLY TO ALL
ORGANIZED LABOR who imports
any person, or for whose place of
business any person is imported fcr
any job which comes under the jur-
isdiction of any one of the 81 af-
filiated local unions in Butte, with
out the consent of the local union UNI
der whose jurisdiction such person is
given employment.
