As Negotiations Go On

least, the threatened strike Of $4,000
truckmen, which would have put a
serious crimp in much Of the city's
business. Negotiations will continue

reported willing to accept the arbi-
tration Of Mayor LaGuardia if they
fail to reach an agreement by them
selves.
The men are asking for five day,
40-hour week, without reduction in
pay. They hold that this is the only
way in which jobs can be found for
thousands Of their members now idle.

quick look, with narrowed eyes.

"And Judith Whalen?"
-"And Judith Whalen?"
Hawley took deep breath such as
man takes before plunging into
tank of cold water. He lifted his glass
and finished his highball.
"Well, Phil, how about it?" Ben
nington asked tensely.
"I'm with you. Lead the way"
"Okay."
Bennington hoped into the seat and
Hawley followed him out of the cab
aret and down the stairs to the street.
The former ran across the sidewalk
to a gray sedan which was parked at
the curb.
"Hurry, PHILIP he called over his
shoulder.
Coming"
Beninton hoped into the seat and
slid over behind the wheel. Hawley
climbed in beside him. The motor
roared an instant and then the car
shot down the street.
Suddenly Hawley was uneasy.
Should he have trusted Bennington?
What did he know of the man? Why
hadn't he asked for his credentials?
Fuming and nervous, the lieutenant
sat in silence while Bennington drove
toward Cristobal. And all at once the
feeling came over Hawley that he was
being stared at by some unseen per-
son. He turned casually and looked
behind-and almost jumped out Of his
seat.
Judith Whalen was sitting in the
rear of the sedan! She smiled at his
expression of blank amazement and
said:
Surprised, Phil?"
"That's much too mild word" the
lieutenant said feebly. Where in the
world did you drop from?"
''Why, didn't drop from any place.
I've been here all the time. At least,
since before you got in the car"
"But what are you doing here?"
Questions, questions, questions!
What are YOU doing here?"

The tension was growing with
every word that passed between them.
Hawley's body was moist with per-
spiration. The cabaret with it's close
packed bodies was like an oven and
yet he felt cold.
The waiter shuffled away. Hawley
turned to Bennington. The other was
gulping his highball as thirsty man
drinks water. He set the empty glass
on the table.
"See here, Phil. 1 have to have help
and I have to have it in hurry"
Hawley took few swallows of his
drink. "Help to do what?"
"Help to run down the murderers of
Les Kennedy and break up this bust
ness before it gets any bigger"
Gust exactly what business are you
talking about?" Hawley asked, sur
prised at how cool he could be despite
the pounding of his pulses.

"What do you mean, you can't tell
me? Do you mean you don't want to,
or you haven't time?"

and his long finger tapped the table.
"Hawley, this is one of the biggest
things that has broken in Panama
since the war"
The lieutenant grinned. "Now don't
tell me there is a foreign plot against

Don't be fool, man! The canal has
nothing to do with it. You're thou

 The Lloyd George idea had the beauty of simplic- ity It was to feed the American troops right into the British army by companies and battaons. There would be no American army, as such, instead, there would be vast number of separate units brgaded into the war-Worn British divisions. As fast our boys got to France, they could be put to work.

ALASKA WINTER IS
 HARD ON DUCKS

JUNEAU-Wild duck Always" of Southeastern Alaska recently lacked their usual great flocks migrating from the flashing winds, the snow and ice of the Arctic slope.
 Though winter lay upon the Far Northern nesting and feeding grounds, sportsmen farther south eyed in vain the ducks sky trails and favorite resting places for the big flocks. Ducks came in scattered numbers, but not in the rushing hordes that thrilled Alas ka hunters a few years ago.
 ''They may come later," said the more optimistic.
 But other sportsmen wondered if the great flights were some thing of the past, due to decima- ton from shooting and other causes.
 The Alaska Game Commission concurred in the sportsmen's ob- servations the ducks were scarce. Some sportsmen agitated for a closed season next year in hopes strict protection would solve the problem.

federal tax on payrolls. Any state or Territory that enacts a suitable law to provide for com pensation of those unemployed can draw down 90 per cent of the tax which the federal govern ment collects, plus an additional amount up to per cent required for administrative purposes. The delegate pointed out the import ance of the legislature in enact ing the proper legislation which will bring back 90 per cent or more of this tax which otherwise remains in the federal treasury.
 Those Dependent
 Assistance for the blind, de- pendent children, and additional health service is available to the Territory through the Social Se- curity Act, according to Delegate Dimond, but the Territorial leg islature must first pass the neces- sary laws to make the Territory eligible.
 The delegate explained parts of the act are now working in many states. He quoted chairman of the Social Security Board, John G. Winant, three time Republican governor of New Hampshire, as saying that the act was "'the most humane document written into law in this century,"
 The importance of action on the part of the Territorial legislature in relation to the Social Security Act, was stressed throughout MT. Dimond's talk.

800, or $368,OOO if the legislature lowered the age limit on women, would not greatly exceed that al- ready carried by the Territory.
 Annuities
 Another part of the Social Se- curity Act, the delegate explain ed, was that which provides for annuities through payroll taxes paid for by both employer and employee, which throughout the country will eventually take care of 25,OOO,OOO wage earners thru an annuity of from $65 to $85 a month, depending upon age and earnings and payments by the workers.
 A third feature provides for un- employment compensation the delegate explained, through a
