thought of waiting until dark

the dim obscurity of his hiding

little chance to sight him from

ing, waiting.
Weary Miles
The first gusts Of night wind
were blowing when at last Dick
left his cavern to trudge the
weary desert miles to Barnes
hacienda. Watchfully through
the nights purple shadows he
scanned the far horizon, but in
the gathering darkness no sign
of life was visible. His shoulder
had ceased bleeding, but every
movement brought pain, and
even before an hour passed he
was athirst and dog tired. De-
spite the sudden GOODNESS Of the
desert evening, beads of perspi-
ration stood out upon his fore
head and ran down his cheeks,
but he trudged doggedly on.
For a while, CHANGING upon a
well worn COW trail, he made
better time, for the sand was
packed harder and the going a
little easier. Later-it seemed
hours later-Dick stopped to rest
and smoke, crouching at the
base of the Barrier that stretched
upward to be lost in the black.

the Barrier behind, keeping the
Verde road we'll to his left,
knowing that within an hour
he should cross the long lane
leading to the Barnes hacienda.
Painfully and with shortened
steps, he struggled on, endlesSly.

he tried to keep his arm at rest

that seemed now to spread from

His throat Smarted with alkau,

pebble in his mouth to lessen
the thirst that had tortured him
since nightfall. On he staggered.
The night had become unreal

When or how he stumbled
upon the lane, Dick never re-
membered, but the sight of a
lighted window in the Barnes
home brought him back to full
consciousness, and pressing for
ward he approached the porch,
then peered cautiously within.

The work OF nature itself it
must have been, hidden securely
through the long centuries, dis.
covered only by chance and
brought to light by the blasting
on the face Of the Barrier.
Hidden Tunnel
On he went. Twice that cur
rent Of air extinguished the
tiny flame, but always, straight
ahead, the stony passageway
led endleSsly, without rise or
fall, until Dick estimated from
his PAGES he had gone well over
a quarter of mile. The air, too,
seemed freSher here, moving by
him with even greater in.
sistence, and at last, far in the
distance, a tiny shaft Of light
stood out, no larger than star.
Above him two bats whirred
fretfully, as if resenting this
disturbance Of their afternoon
repoSe.
Toward that cleaning, far off
illumination Dick hastened, but
again the passage narrowed
rapidly, until at last he forced
his way with difficulty ever
nearer the mysterious source of
light that widened as he drew
closer, and seemed to flicker
and change in slow, but con-
slant rhythm. Cautiously he
thrust forward, then stopped
with an involuntary exclama-
ton Of surprise. Light was
streaming from small entrance
in the rock, it's flickering motion
caused by a dense growth of
chaparral whose leaves moved
ceasely in the wind outside.
Crawling forward, Dick
pushed on, head first, through
the narrow entrance, and brush.
Ing past the thicket of chapar-
raj, gazed curiously about him.
To his amazement he stood
again at the base of the Barrier,
This time looking forth not
upon the foothills and waters
of Azure Lake, but out across
the desert over miles of cactus
and cleaning sand toward the
low mountains of Mexico. He
had passed through the Barrier
itself!
Wonderingly he stared at the
hidden entrance, half covered
with crumbling. rotting rock,
looking more like the incon.
spicuous lair of some desert
wild thing than a mouth to
this great Subterranean tunnel
through the living rock.
And suddenly, like a blazing
thunderbolt, the vital signifi.
canoe Of this discovery burst
upon him, driving away both
thought of pursuit and that
aching pain in his shoulder,
bringing to his cheeks a flush
Of wild exultation. For here,
carved by nature itself, was the
very passageway-the e only
paSsageway-to lead the waters
Of Azure Lake past the Barrier
and out into the desert. Here
at last the impossible had come
to pass and the old, old dream
Of the Verde ranchers might be
realized.
CHAPTER 40
Dicks weary eyes were bright
with exciteme mt. "It'S our
chance-our everlasting chance!"
he cried aloud, in a low, exultant
voice.
He wanted to shout, to run,
to hurry on and tell Barnes.

New Warehouse For
State Liquor Board
Is Now Being Rushed

The State of Montana has made a
profit in excess of a million dollars
from the sales Of liquor at the state
stores above all expenses this year and
by December 81 the profits will run
far in excess of this amount.
The new liquor warehouse at Hell
ena, now under construction, is being
rushed to completion and when it is
finished it will be not only fire proof
and burglar proof but earthquake
proof. 1t is being constructed on quake
resistant principles and a recurrence of
such losses as the recent quakes caus-
ed to many establishments handling
bottled goods in Helena, will not be
probable.
The new structure will cost 100000,
all OF which will be derived from the
profits of the state liquor business. It
will be economy however as it will save
the state the heavy rentals it is now
paying for rented quarters for both
warehouse and office purposes. 1t cost
an extra $4,000 to build it on quake
resistant plans.
The board has authorized the open
ing OF some new liquor stores and
agencies, bringing the total of state
dispensaries to about 40. Stores will
be opened at Homestead in Roosevelt
county, H~ighwood in Chouteau county
and at Essex in Flathead county.
Strenuous efforts are being put forth
by the liquor control board through
its enforcement department to shut
off the sale Of bootleg whiskey and
the recent action OF Judge Baldwin in
sending several violators of the federal
liquor laws to the penitentiary for
terms OF from one to three years is
aiding the enforcement squad OF the
State materially.

Under the provisions of the Hawes-Cooper
Act twenty-four states have passed laws estab-
fishing the State-use system prohibiting the sale
on the open market Of goods manufactured in
their own prisons and also in the prisons Of
other states.
The Ashurst-Sumners Act put teeth into the
Hawes-Cooper Act by prohibiting the interstate
transportation Of prison goods into states
where the sale of the goods has been banned
Judge Cores ruling makes it mandatory for the
three railroads to transport the p%rison-made
goods of the Huffines Shirt Company into the
twenty-four states where the sale of such goods
has been prohibited by state laws.
The injunction is not final. Judge Gore an
nounced he would take the constitutionality of
the measure under advisement. 1t is to be hoped
that in his final decision he will uphold the power
Of Congress to assist the states in banishing
from America the recognized curse of prison
made goods sold in competition with free labor.

DEOPLE who are inclined to be
l thrifty by saving empty liquor
bottles. along with string, rubber
bands, wrapping paper, paper bags
and empty boxes, thinking that
some day they will have use for
them, might just as well throw
them in the ash heap, because
those whiskey and gin bottles can
never be used again. There's a law
against it.
Look on the back of a liquor bot
tie. Note that it says in raised
letters blown in The glass, FED

any liquor bottle with distilled
spirits is subject to a fine of not
more than $1,O0O.OO or to imprison-
ment for not more than two years
Or both.
All of which is, of course, for the
protection of the customer. When
you order a bottle of liquor from a
reputable dealer you are sure Of
getting the real thing, not a bottle
filled with bootleg stuff or with
liquor that has been diluted with
an inferior product or water.

COMPANY UNION IN u

The Brotherhood Of Railway Clerks has hailed
into the Federal Court at Memphis, Tenn, the
officials of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis Railroad on charges of violating the Rail
way Labor Act by promoting a "company-con-
trolled' union camouflaged as a Clerks associa-
ton" and with refusing to recognize the Broth
erhood as the officia representative Of the
clerks despite the fact that in an election last
summer the Brotherhood was favored by a vote
of 400 to 243. The railroad is also charged with
having threatened employees with loss of group
insurance and loss of representation in negotia-
tions for settling disputes unless they join the
Clerks association"
The Railway Labor Act provides that railroads
must not deny their employees the right to join
the union of their choice without influence,
coercion or intimidation, and makes it manda-
tory for railroad management to deal with duly
elected representatives Of the employees.
The Brotherhood asks the Federal Court to
issue an injunction compelling the railroad COM
pany to obey the provisions of the Railway Labor
Act by recognizing the Brotherhood in collec-
tive bargaining negotiations, by refraining from
interfering with and influencing its employees or
their agents in labor activities, and by bringing
to an end all dealings of the railroad with the
company-promoted clerks association"
The provisions of the Railway Labor Act are
definite and clear. There should be no delay in
affirming these provisions judicially as applied
to the Brotherhood Of Railway Clerks and re-
curing the officials of the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and St. Louis Railway to recognize the
advantages Of collective bargaining with bona
fde unions as a fundamental element in estab-
fishing equitable labor relations.

BAD DECISION

The introductory injunction issued by Fed
eral Judge John Gore, at Nashville, Tenn, fore
ing three railroads to accept prison-made shirts
for interstate transportation will be regretted
by forward looking citizens.
The Injunction was asked by the Huffines
Shirt Company of Nashville. The attorney for
the convict-made shirt concern was Charles L.
Dawson, who recently resigned as a Federal
Judge for the Louisville district. AS the basis
of the petition for the injunction Mr.. Dawson
alleged the unconstitutionality Of the Ashurst-
Summers Act, passed by the recent session Of
Congress, making it unlawful to transport
prison-made goods into states that have estab-
lished the State-use system. He asserted the
Act deprives the shirt company of property, in
GLIDING the right to do business, without the due
process of law" prescribed by the Fifth Amend
ment to the Constitution.
United States District Attorney Horace Frier-
son defended the Act as a valid exercise of the
powers delegated to Congress.
"Prison-made goods" he said, ARE evil prod
ucts and it is evil to permit the sale of prison
made goods in competition with products of men
outside of prison who have to earn a living"

ional Bituminous Coal Commission rul-
ed that all persons engaged in public
works construction or supplying mat
erial or service to the Federal Govern
ment u certify as to the origin Of

ulates that Federal agencies and their
contractors must require evidence that
all coal delivered under contract has
been produced by a mine complying

A New Economy Order

Mrs. Sonia B%ranting, daughter of the late
Hjalmar Branting, three times premier of Swe-
den, is an enthusiastic advocate Of producers
and consumers cooperatives as an important ele-
ment in reducing the cost of living for the mass
es and securing quality goods.
In an interview with the COOPERATIVE Lea
que Of America, Mrs. B%ranting, who is visiting
the United States, discussed the cooperative
movement in Sweden.
TOO many people" she said, "were living on
the spread between production and distribu-
ton. This made it impossible for the people
to buy the goods they had produced, so con-
sumers' cooperatives were organized and the
middlemen swept away. The co-operatives by
manufacturing electric lamps have broken the
lamp monopoly and have reduced the price of
lamps throughout Sweden.
"Co-operative production Of shoes and galoshes
forced prices down to within the reach of the
working people. Now the co-operatives pro-
duce the highest quality and a large percentage
of the shoes in the country"
Great mills and elevators were purchased by
the co-operatives to enable them to set their
own prices on bread rather than depend on pri-
vate traders. Co-operatives introduced the pra-
ctice of measuring bread and selling it by weight
in face of the ancient practice Of selling blown
up a%ir-filled bread by size and guess"
The role the co-operatives have played in mod
ern architecture, combining the use of hygienic
methods with the most up-to-date use of modern
materials, was emphasized by Mrs. B%ranting.
Consumers co-operatives," she asserted,
pioneered in the introduction of beauty in
business. The cooperative architectural bur-
eau has played an important part in develop
ing Swedish architecture. Hygienic, sanitary
stores, displays under glass, artistic arrange
ment of fixtures and merchandise have been
developed by the cooperatives, which now in
clude half the people in the country"
Mrs. B%ranting, who is a member of the bar
and a Judge in the Domestic Relations Court of
Sweden, in explaining the reasons for Sweden's
prosperity declared that "by democratic action
through political, labor and cooperative organ
ization we are trying to build up a new econom-
ic order without revolution"
Pointing out that Sweden has remarkably
liberal form of parliamentary government she
declared that as a result of the wise use of poll
teal and economic freedom Sweden today has
less than l per cent Of its workers unemployed,
has balanced its budget and is probably further
advanced on the road to recovery than any other
nation.
The growth of the cooperative movement in
the United States attests to the fact that more
and more people are coming to agree with the
observations of Mrs. Granting and visioning a
new and better economic order through CO.
operatives.
