Position Changed BY Labor
Chief At Tampa Convention
(Continued from Page One.)

John L. Lewis and his United Mine
Workers and his rebel allies from
the American Federation of Labor
developed today at the start of the
federations annual convention.
Many delegates cried for expulsion,
even if it meant a long and bitter war,
but William Hutcheson, president of
the powerful carpenters union, said,
they're already out" and asked,
whats the use of locking the door if
you're not afraid Of any one on the
outsider"
Some leaders talked Of approving
the rebels suspension, directing the
federation's executive council to con-
tinue peace efforts, and clothing the
council with power to expel if these
efforts are not successful.
Despite his fiery speeches last week
against the Lewis rebellion, William
Green, federation president, said the
councils peace committee still was
ready to meet the rebels.
Despite the peace talk, John P.
Frey, president of the federation's
metal trades department, prepared to
introduce an expulsion resolution at
the opening session.

"But there isn't anything l can
do" Alix said.
There certainly is and have
the very costume. Come along,
Allx, and I'll remind you of it."
Alix was caught in the spirit
of it.
Remember that Mother Goose
costume I had for the JenkinS
kiddie party? It'll be a little large
for you. darling, but what of it,"
Kathleen said and dug in chest.
But what will I dO?" AliX
asked.
"Sing the Mother Goose songs
you used to sing for Kim and me
long ago."
"Oh, those. I'm not sure re-
member them" But how could
she. forget the little songs her
own mother had written for her
long ago? Thinking little melo-
dies put to the words of the
Mother Goose rhymes.
But I'll try" she said.
Kathleen had taught her to 40
company herself on the guitar.
Alix's voice was husky, low and
sweet and she sang them over
and over again.
Kim did a sketch with Kathleen
of Old-time vaudeville dances.
Helen Preston gave her impression
of a fiustered lady trying to out
wit customs. Even Kathleen's
father rose to the occasion and
auctioned off the sugar canes on
the Christmas tree.
The party was over at midnight.
kim, drive your mother home
and come back for Alix. I want
to keep her with me for a few
minutes"
When they were alone, Kath.
leen put whatever reticence she
had aside:
"Alix, forgive me for probing
but l know about the letters.
Will you tell me about them ?"
For an answer Alix took them
from her bag and handed them
to Kathleen silently.
Kathleen read them through
slowly and gave them back to
her.
HE loves you, Alix. He tried
to tell you that he wanted to
come back and tell you he did"
mo, he didn't. Kathleen. 4a
was trying to apologize"
IF he believed that you loved
another man, he would have no
reason to apologize for trif1ing
with your affections. You're be-
ing stubborn. It's as plain as can
be that he wanted to tell you he
loved you. You've got to find
him."
Even if l found him, what
could say? Men don't love that
long, Kathleen. I've found that
out"
"Oh, my poor blind darling!
You don't know that man. He
isn't the kind who would love for
a little while. Don't you know
that you need him and that he
needs you? Every man needs the
woman he loves"
Its too late now" Alix said
with a tone of finality.
Kathleen didn't press her
Kathleen had another idea.

TOWERS AT HER FEE -
VAASI BY MARIE BLIZZARD NNaAND
y M ARlE Bill A RID


IL was Jonn VINO nad given her
the false key. 1t was John who
had assumed that she cared for
another man when she was trying
to find a way to save her pride.
Even now she did not regret it.
She opened the second letter.
He was coming home. He
wanted to see her. He had things
he had to tell her. 1t wasn't right
or fair to either of them to leave
all things unsaid. He hoped to
find a letter from her at his home
on his return.
She put that letter down as
though it hurt her. So he had
wanted to tell her himself that he
cared for her in this way but it
was Garcia to whom he belonged?
1t was as well that she had left
before that letter arrived. She
had known it all too well.
The third letter was brief. He
had returned, looked for her let
ter, tried to reach her by tele-
phone. He had to see her!
But why hadn't he reached her
on the telephone? The people
who took her apartment had
taken over her telephone with the
same number.
The fourth letter was different
in tone.
He understood at last, he said.
He had gotten an answer on the
telephone, learned that she had
gone away. The new owners
couldn't tell him where she was
He hoped this letter, which he sent
with instructions to be forwarded,
would tell her that he wanted her
marriage to be a happy one. He
had no other wish than for her
happiness, he said, ending the let
ter.
She folded the letters and put
them into her handbag She put
them away as though they were
reminders out of a past that was
dead.
But she was glad-oh, she was
glad!-that John had wanted to
tell her, even though that telling
would have brought Ter exquisite
pain.
She had new serenity the next
day when she put on the black
velvet dress to wear to Kathleen
Preston's Christmas dinner party.
It was one of the dresses she had
had made to wear when she
thought she was going to marry
Bill.
On her way to Katilleen's house
she bought a small pot of Christ
mas blooms as gift for Kathleen.
"All the corners of my life have
been rounded now" she thought,
sitting at Kathlecas dinner table
at Kina's right.
After dinner they led her to the
drawing room and bade her look
for her gift on the tree
There was music in the after
noon. Kathleen got out her gui-
tar and played an accompaniment
while they sang popular songs.
Kim played the piano and they
gathered around to sing Christ
mas carols.
Lets have a performance

is the day We're supposed to act
like children. Each one of us

Ahx reflected happily when she
opened the package from Miss
Lizzie in the Christmas box from
Bairdsvale and found a jar of pre-
serves, box of cookies and d fruit
cake.
She nibbled Q cookie before she
opened Mae Alexander's box con-
tanning a hand-knitted sweater
wrapped around a generous bottle
of her favorite perfume. There
was a note with it.
Were all thinking of you, dar-
ling Alix," Mae wrote, land know

Things are working out here as
you hoped and we are all anxious
to hear about your good luck be-
cause we know you must have it."
well, I'm not doing so badly
now" Alix reflected.
She broke off a piece of the
fruit cake, tried on the pink
sweater and touched the stopper
of the perfume vial back of each
ear.
II might as we'll make night
Of it," she said to the girl in the
mirror and took the letters from
the drawer.
Rapidly she ran over them.
Then she saw the four letters in
the heavy square envelopes. The
English postmark.
Letters from John Sayre.
Very slowly, very carefully she
separated them and laid them
aside until she had read the
others.
She forced herself to read Kath-
leen's long letters slowly, keeping
until the last possible moment,
those letters in the other enve-
lopes. She read about the West
Indies, paeons of praise about
Kim. gay anecdotes Of the adven-
lures her friends had shared, de-
scriptions Of Mexico. Kathleen
had found Mexico just as Kim had
described it to Alix so long ago.
Yet long ago as it was it was
after those other letters-from
England-had been written.
Arranging them in their proper
order, Alix slit the envelopes one
by one and fastened her unsteady
gaze on their messages.
The first was written the week
John arrived in England. It was
the pleasant letter of a friend It
told her the trip was stormy, the
ship arrived a day late. It looked
as though he were going to be in
England longer than he expected.
He had known the last time that
he saw Alix that she had meant it
to be their farewell but he wanted
her to know that he had had other
things to say, That he wanted her
to be happy. Hoped she always
would be. And that he wanted
her to know that he would always
be there if she needed him.
The scene of that last meeting
was all too clear.
The situation that was all a lie.

The civilian population on the FIRM
