EXACTLY! The officers also
knew people were focking in here

of kerosene Oil looks like camp

think the can really held cocaine ?
Or that the fiesta-bound people.

"Yep. And they'll get by with
it, if we don't do something. The

"Bill, why didn't tn patrol stop
these aliens at tn line? Amt they
paid to do that?"
"Sure! But, as I told you, tie
not getting across the line into
Arizona that's hard. It's getting
through the wilderness into a city
or town. There are only four or
five roads northward. The patrol
can guard them fairly easy. They'll
have guards out tonight as usual,
but the guards won't be suspicious
of a fiesta gang. You see this
ranch is just a few miles from the
line; aliens have been Struggled
over for the past week, the SNUG

Bill got into his car and drove
away. Buckshot Brown permitted
himself some choice cussing, ana
thoughtlessly went into his own
cottage and took his favorite rife
down.
He came outside carrying it, and
sat on a rock and held it, think

wished he had something at which

mess up Ellen Dale's party, or
otherwise disturb the happiness Of
the girl, would have to answer to
him. Come to think of 1t, he could
see a dozen or so people around
this ranch fiesta that he ''suspic-

watch who went into the store
room. If one Of them got sassy, he
might take a crack at him.
Which was, Of course. foolish

Bills admiration was sincere.

CHAPTER 40

BILL WALKED toward Ellen's
front porch with profound gravity
OF manner. His deep concern over
the discovery In the store room OF
an undetermined plot must have
shown on his face, for a group OF
rs or 20 young girls instantly &C
costed him.
"Stop scowling, Mr.. Baron!"
one of them commanded, and in
stantly they were all around him.
This is La Fiesta del SOl-see how
beautiful is the sunshine? Every
body must smile and be happy"
They were practicing their
preachments, smiling and laughing.
All trying to talk to him at once,
poking fun at him and teasing him.
Were doing stunts and you've
either got to recite a piece or sing
a song" one 17-year-old COM
manded. A chorus of alternatives
backed her, gushing, giggling.
You can't refuse a thing like
that. 1t is inhospitable to refuse to
be a good sport at party. No
body had ever accused Bill Baron
of not being a good sport. He tried
to josh his way out of it, teasing
and cutting up with the kids, but
it was no go. So he squared off in
exaggerated oratorical pose, ex-
tended an arm toward the Dale
Durango landscape and doomed
out:
"Where the far blue peaks and the
valleys wide,
Cleanse the heart of its hasty
pride.
And the open sky and boundleSS
space
Carve something great on the
poorest face:
Where a mans on honor to be his
best
Away out west"
He finished with a flourish and a
dramatic break. He must have
been impressive with it, for the
girls stared in profound admira-
ton, then burst into applause.
"E core! Encore!" they
shrieked. Didn't know you were
a poet!"
He smiled his thanks, saying,
I'm not. That's part of one by
Sharlot Hall, Arizonas poet
laureate. Thanks, anyhow"
He was edging away. staring
out and beyond them. A new con-
Germ was written on his counte-
nance; he had suddenly seen the
smuggler again, stan6'ng down the
slope by an misunderstanding to
a man he had seen among the
smugglers in Mexico.
Bill went on inside Ellen's living
room thinking to go at cnce to the
telephone. He discovered of course
that private conversation would
be impossible. Gay and noisy peo-
pie seemed everywhere. Most Of
them whom he encountered wanted
him to join them.
He got away and entered the

A Unified Labor Policy
10 Outlaw Coercion

Bruce Cation authOred an interesting
editorial the other day in which he cited
a federal court damage suit against
labor union as one of the best demon
strations to date that the United States
government sorely needs a workable na-
tional labor policy.
He was one hundred per cent right.
The present session of congress would
90 down in history with the blessing of
everyone concerned if it would do Just
one thing: Outlaw coercion of employees.
Half the Job has been done, but the
most important half remains to be done.
The Wagner Labor Relations Act makes
it illegal for an employer to cOerce his
employees He cannot force them to JON
a union. nor to stay out OF a union. He
cannot threaten to fire them for union
activities he cannot ask when he hires
a man if the fellow belongs to union;
he cannot tell his employees that he dis
approves of a union. He cannot either
help his employees organize, or prevent
them from organizing. 1t remains now
to prevent anyone else from coerclng
the employees.
If congress passed a law this session
making it illegal for labor leaders or
anyone else to coerce employees into JON
ing union. outlawing threats and in
jury to employees of any firm from any
source whatsoever, this congress would
have set up a milestone on the road to
industrial peace.
Throughout the United States today
there are thousands of men who belong
to some union because they are afraid
not to belong They are the victims OF
a coercion just as deadly as that any
employer ever attempted. More than
half the strikes in the country in the
last two years have been nothing in the
world but attempts to force workmen to
join a union
Organization of labor is just as i'm
portant to this country as is Organiza-
tion of industry, or any other form OF
organization. The industrial employer
who believes his workmen will not and
should not organize to further their own
interests belongs back in the days of the
cracker-barrel store at the country cross
roads.
Organization is important to any
group. whether in industry or labor
but, organization by force from outside
is the most harmful kind. 1t should not
be permitted.
This nation needs a national labor
policy-and the best foundation it could
lay for such a policy would be one IN
which coercion of employees, from any
source. is outlawed.

Undoubtedly q most encouraging aspect OF
the recent conference between the President and
five of the nations leading industrialists is the
fact that the business group, headed by Alfred
P Sloan. manifested satisfaction with the con-
ference which Sloan described as "construc
tive" Neither the chairman of General Motors
corporation. nor any Of the other industrialists
attending the session. have ever been known
to mince their words evade the issue when
speaking about relations between government
and business
Not only did Sloan and the others forecast
improved business conditions. Dut they express
ed the belief that in the future there would be
a better understanding and closer cooperation
between the industrial interests and the federal
government. AL of us agree" said Sloan, that
we have a better understanding Of each others
problems out Of which are sure will come
closer cooperation in meeting the difficulties Of
the moment
The action Of this important business group
in meeting with President Roosevelt indeed in
dicates an honest and sincere effort on the
part of the New Deal and Of business to i'm
prove the employment and economic situation.
There is no question as TO the urgent national
demand for industrial expansion and active pro-
duction. Nor is there any doubt as TO the eXis-
tence Of great amount Of idle capital.
