He calmly returned my gaze and ans

Young turned, his hands clenched
as if to give himself courage: Father,
it is painful to me, but l must ask you
how that pin came into your posses
sion?" He stepped close to Father
Godefroy and held out his hand for the
pin.
The priest looked his inquisitor
over from head to foot, his lip curl
ed and his eyes burned. Who was
this fellow who wanted to put hand
on him? Who was this ships detec-
tive?
Young reiterated a step and said
quietly: "But Father, you yourself see
that I :"
The priest interrupted: "No one
who has stolen goods in his own pock-
cts should attempt to play the detec-
tive"
And the long bony hand of the
priest reached out and pointed to the
vest pocket of the detective where
watch chain dangled. Young, amazed

NV eyes travelled over the group
all had clenched fists and angry
looks. l put my hands to my throat;
it was as if / were suffocating. Heav-
ems. I am under arrest! l thought of
the little casket in my trunk and great
fear gripped me.
Wherever 1 looked 1 met hostile
chances. No sympathy here for me.
An uncomfortable hatred of this priest
filled my being. 1 looked at him; his
face was stony. If Young had let go
of my arm, would have jumped upon
this priest and struck him with my
fists.
"You, a priest!" screamed at him,
stepped back and, laughed and laugh
ed.
"He has lost his mind" cried DR..
Roullier, starting for the door.
"Crazy, am I? No, no, ha, ha, GER
tainly not, I am only laughing about
a request l would like to make. A
request which you cannot refuse, Mr..
Young"
"You have no right to make any
requests" answered Young.
"No? Well, we shall see. would
like to have this Reverend Father
Godefroy as a cell mate just to enter
tain me-"
ooh, yes, Father Godefroy, just as
cellmate?"
All ewes turned toward the priest
to see how he would take this insult.
The minister lost his stony look; he
redeemed and struggled to breathe
calmly. Then trembling with rage and
shrieking in a most unpriestly man
ner:
"Don't you try any of your ugly
Jokes on me-think instead of your
SOUL"
"I will gladly think of saving my
soul, Father, when you have told me
to whom the pin belongs, which you
have there in your black cravat."
Everyone crowded about the priest.
A priest does not wear stickpins-
of course not. And yet ruby shone
from the cravat of the priest-the
same ruby which Mac Fergus had
worn. Was it possible that this was
Mac Fergus pin?
Young paled as he saw the pin, let
go of my arm, rubbed his eyes and
suffered:
"But that is, is it not the pin Of
Mac Fergus? Is that the pin that
was stolen from Mac Fergus?"
"That is strange :"
"Father, how does that happen to be
in your possession? Can you give me
an explanation? Is it not strange =?
Or perhaps this jewel :" Young, the
wise, the controlled and clever detec-
tive was bluffed. He felt something
strange here-perhaps a catastrophe
Father Godefroy was surrounded
everyone stared at the red glow that
was in his cravat. 1t was a sensa-
ton. How did the priest come to have
such a jewel? Was it the stolen pin
and if so, was he a thief?
The priest himself was nonplussed.
but the shock lasted only for seconds.
His lips stopped trembling and closed
firmly. This man was master OF the
situation. With great show of calm
bo drauy tba trinlxat from his craVat
turning it this way and that as if he
were totally unconscious of all except
it's wonderful red CLEAN. Then he
said as if to himself:
"That is indeed the pin of Mac Fer

bit of work. Such a wonderful stone

dinal Dedouc, but it was not such a
perfect specimen. However, that has

ed again. From the next room came
the remark: st is an insult to a pas
senger to -"
Naturally when Young found moth
ing on me, l became the hero of the
hour. The engineer waved to me in
a most friendly manner. The detec-
tive knew his public, he saw the
change come over the other passen-
gers. And so he pulled himself to-
gether, and sumoning a smile, pressed
nv hand as if I had saved his broth
er's life.
Gentlemen" he cried, taking such
a deep breath that his white shirt
bosom bulged like sail, "did I not
tell you before, that there is no thief
among the passengers Nonsense,
nonsense, but it was great fun, this
little search party. A great joke,
something to remember"
There was nothing for Young to do
but make light of the whole affair.
"But where did the money go?"
asked several of the passengers.
"I am afraid that the barkeeper
made mistake; tonight when he
counts his cash he will see his error.
Such a mistake is possible"
Everyone pressed about the bar ex-
cept the priest. "But Reverend Faith
er, you are not going to leave?"
With friendly gestures the priest
was drawn back to the bar. He look
ed fixedly at me and then came to me.
My heart failed me. I do not wnow
why, but he only held out both his
hands and grasped mine.
"But Father ;"
"I have something to ask of you
and Father James Godefroy does not
like to be to blame ;" He hest
tated. "I believed for a short time,
now you know, Mr.. Svendrup, what
I believed. rejoice that I was wrong.
We are all glad"
"Did you really believe that L was
the theft"
He cast his eyes, heavenward and
answered:
"God forgive me, but I am only
human, am not perfect"
What did all this mean? His eyes
had remained cold and hard; there
was no real kindly feeling in them
no Joy that I was blameless, but
instead there seemed to be secret
triumph but heavens, triumph
over what?
1 thought and thought but 1 could
find no reason. 1 only became more
and more nervous. A shadow of
danger was lurking over me I was
sure! the cause 1 do not know. With
beating heart I sat on stool at
the bar and ordered whiskey and
soda. Father Godefroy sat few
stools from me; others sat between
so l could not see his face. 1t was
moment of suspense for me. Sud
denly Father Godefroy stretched out
his hand to clink glasses with me. I
had to lean toward him. stared in
his eyes and felt shock. He put his
glass back on the bar with such force
that it broke.
Then a babel of voices burst about
me as hands pointed to my arm.
My God what is that? What is
the matter with my arm?
Then l saw, to my utter amaze
ment, that my cuff had slipped back
and out peeped dollar bill. Young
jumped toward me, jerked back my
sleeve, and drew out bill after bill
and then finally two small bundles of
bills. 1t was the stolen money!
l was the thief. L L -.

Montana Labor News:

Montana Labor News:
Since l was summarily discharged
from the position of Labor Commits
sioner by Governor Ayers, I've had
numerous inquiries from my friends
and supporters in the ranks of or
ganized labor and organized agri-
culture all over the state, as to the
cause of my discharge. l am aware,
also, that many of those organiza-
tions have adopted resolutions of
protest in this matter, with the evil
dent hope that a widespread protest
would convince Governor Ayers that
he had made a mistake and that he
might be induced to reconsider his
act.
l want to, at this time, inform my
friends and well-wishers that this
latter is a vain hope. My informa-
ton is to the effect that because of
my consistent support of President
Roosevelt and the New Deal pro-
gram and my stubborn resistance to
the wiles of the enemies of the ma
tional administration, that 1 must
be removed from office. I under
stand that this was finally decreed
on the night of the date of the Demo-
cratic state convention, at a meeting
in Billings, attended by some of
Montana's largest and most reaction
airy employers as well as some high
officials in the state and national
governments.
Accordingly, two days later, l was
informed by telephone that the Gov
ernor, by virtue Of the authority
vested in him by a law passed by
the last legislature (the Hitler bill,
had terminated my employment with
the state, to become effective i'm
mediately. I have been, also, in
formed that there have been IA state
stoolpigeons on my trail for several
months, in an endeavor to find some
good reason for letting me go. I
feel proud of the fact that after all
this espionage, the worst report they
were able to turn in was that l had
attended some farmer and labor)
meetings that vert opposed to the
Governor and the state administra-
ton. I have been further informed
that I was too diligent in the prose-
cution of labor law violations.
I want to, hereby, thank most
sincerely my many friends in the
ranks of organized labor and or
ganized agriculture, as well as in
dividual friends all over the state.
Furthermore, I do not consider my
obligations to you people liquidated.
l stand ready to assist in every way
possible, the progressive, political
and economic welfare of the people
of this state.

introduced by the dining car walters,
which called for unity of all labor
organizations in the state. The new
executive board was instructed also
to do all in its power to further
the understanding and cooperation
and to strengthen the bond between
the organized labor movement and
the organized farmers of the state"
The convention urged immediate
payment of $50 monthly old age
assistance, which could be done at
once if the state increased its allot-
ment to SIS, that amount being
matched by the federal government.
Local unions were advised to set up
social security committees for study
and education on the security act.
Support for the railroad workers
in their fight against the Is per cent
wage cut was pledged by the dele
gates.

Nebraska AFL Indorses
Work Of NLRB

NORFOLK, Nebr. - (FP) - The
most progressive convention in the
history of the State Federation OF
Labor (AFL) closed here with the
$50 delegates going on record against
changes in the Wagner act and in
dorsing the work of the Natl. Labor
Relations Board " as the only guar
antee of the rights of working people
to organize for a better standard of
living" The Nebraska organization
thus placed itself in sharp opposition
to the attitude of the AFL national
executive council, which is demand
ing revision of the Wagner act and
limitations upon the power of the
NLRB.
As recommended by Pres. Roy
Brewer of Grand Island, the dele
gates recommended adoption of a
little Wagner act for Nebraska, and
voted to ask the national AFL con-
vention to press for similar legisla-
ton in states that have not adopted
labor relations laws.

ON HEALTH GROUP
Milwaukee Center" Physicians
We're Ousted from Medical
Society.

MILWAUKEE.-This has become
another key city in the federal anti
trust suit against the American Med
ical Association, following disclosure
that the department of justice had
launched an inquiry here into the
attack on the Milwaukee Medical
Center.
A federal investigator spent sew
eral days here, repeatedly gathering
evidence to fortify the governments
proceedings against the association.
At the same time, Thurman Ar
mold, attorney general, assured the
Federated Trades Council, AFL
central body here, that a full in
quiry would be made locally into
the custer of Milwaukee Medical
Center physicians from membership
in the Milwaukee and State Medical
societies.
In its action against the associa-
ton, the department of justice has
charged that the medical organiza-
ton, by using its power to restrain
the development of low cost, pre-
paid group medical plans, has VIC
lated the Sherman antitrust act.
The Milwaukee Medical Center
has such a plan in operation, and
has been attacked by the medical
association, as have similar clinics in
Washington and other cities. Physi-
clans on the center's staff were GUST
ed from membership in the Mil
waukee and State Medical societies,
and their custer was later upheld
by the American Medical Associa-
ton.
Meanwhile, the Trades Council
last night advanced moves for the
building of a tabor hospital" here,
and also indorsed the ordinance by
Supervisor John Doerfler which
would throw open the County Cen
eral hospital to physicians on the
staff of the Milwaukee Medical
Center.

A COMMON Sense
APPEAL TO VOTERS
Eastern Montana Unions Sup
port Retail Sale of Liquor.

~GLASGOW.-The Bartenders I'm
ion, Local 464, of Glasgow, Montana,
together with the Valley County
Trades and Labor Council are asking
the voters of Valley county and all
others concerned to support Refer
endum 40 which legalizes the retail
sale of liquors in the state Of Mon
tana.
The laboring people should be
vitality interested in this measure,
because its defeat means the loss
of thousands of jobs throughout the
state. Practically all handling, re-
failing and dispensing of liquors is
done by members of organized labor
who receive a good living wage. If
our state goes back to the old system
of bootlegging it means suffering for
many families and an increase in the
relief rolls.
By supporting Referendum 40 you
are aiding many good citizens who
have their money invested in legiti-
mate drinking places and who pay
a high license tax both to the state
as well as the city or village in which
they operate. This tax money in
turn is used to support public insti-
t%utions, relief, and in fact it is used
in such a way that everyone receives
equal benefit.
Use good common sense on Nov. 8
and vote for Referendum 40. It's
defeat may mean the loss of your
job.
