 Kinks gazed about him. Some body around here" he said, pointing to the various animal heads, must have been a mighty hunter. Are we going to have to keep all these atrocities in the lobby?"
 They were MT. Preston's," Sally explained. And your aunt would never have them moved"
 q feel like Daniel in the lions den," said Kinks. "Oughtn't we take them down? The guests are sure to complain" =. "Oh, leave them alone" said Sally. "They don't bite anybody any more. But speaking of Mrs. Clip stack, you'd better come and meet her. If she doesn't approve of you, you're out of luck. Mrs. Clipstack really runs the house."
 Lead me to her." said Kinks. I'll take Mrs. c. like Grant took Richmond.
 Mrs. Clipstack was white-haired, red d-cheeked and built on the same general plan as the Pennsylvania station. She radiated kind of com- fortable, flat-footed solidity. But she was deaf as the well-known post.
 This is MT. Parker, Mrs. Clip stack" said Sally, raising her voice. Mrs. Clipstack put her hands on her hips and her eyes gave Kinks a thorough going over. Then she re- moved a hand from a hip and cupped it behind her ear.
 "Eh?" she said.
 q said" shouted Sally, that this is MIR PARKER"
 What say?" said Mrs. Clipstack.
 PARKER shrilled Sally.
 Tough going just here, isn't it?'' murmured Kinks.
 Parker, hey?" Intelligence swept over the Clipstackian visage. Then then he's Mrs. Preston's nephew"
 Sally nodded.
 Well, young man." said Mrs Clipstack severely, T hope you ain't no improvident scapegrace like your father was."
 Kinks looked blank for second My father? Oh, I get it. Shes heard that from my aunt. Tell hel I'm not a scapegrace, will you Sally?"
 Tell her yourself" said Sally My throat won't work any more.
 Kinks told her, at the top of hi lungs. He also beamed upon her But Mrs. Clipstack looked skeptical
 Who broke my winder?" she de- manded, at last.
 Sally pointed to Kinks.
 "There!" said Mrs. Clistack, tr1- umphantly. q suspicioned it al along. He is a scapegrace."
 you'll have to square yourself with her for that window" Sally laughed, when they were back 1T the living room. You can go into Winstock tomorrow, find glaziel and pay for the work, too. But righ' now, I've got a job for you. Ou' you go and bring in the Harknesses luggage"
 "Who, me?" said Kinks.
 "Yes, you. What do you thinl you're going to do, just pose around here?"
 "Okay, Mrs. Legree," said Kink' and departed.
 When he returned laden witf luggage Sally was at the phone 1T the hall She hung up as he wa oroceipo fha 1iyyiroO rOorn
 "Was that somebody else inquir' ing our rates?" Kinks said jokingly
 Don't be silly" said Sally. "Tha was Wilton Ames."

B, the Associated Press.
For the second time this year
the Labor Relations Board has or
dered the Inland Steel Co. to nego-
tiate a written collective bargaining
contract with the c. I. O.'s Steel
Workers Organizing Committee.
The board said yesterday the
S. w. o. c. represented a majority
Of the employees in the company S
plants at Indiana Harbor, Ind, and
Chicago Heights, III.
Last April the board ordered the
company to bargain collectively with
the committee and reduce to writing
any agreement reached. That order
was withdrawn to permit the com
pany to file briefs and present oral
arguments.
Ordering the firm to disband the
Steel Workers Independent Union,
Inc. described as company union,
the board now has ruled that while
the company was not compelled to
agree to any particular collective
bargaining terms, it had an OBJ
legation to embody the accepted
terms in signed agreement.
1897 Strike Recalled.
The board said the independent
union had been formed with the
assistance of supervisory officials
and had been the spearhead of a
"back-to-W movement during
strike in June, 1887.
The strike ended on July /, 1887
under truce" arrangement, which
left unresolved the issue Of whether
the union should receive a signed
contract.
In its ruling yesterday the board
declared signed agreements were

quires an employer to accept the
procedure of collective bargaining
and the spirit and purpose of the act

strife. We regard it as we'll settled

that collective bargaining in good
faith requires willingness to con-
summate the negotiations, if sue
cessful, by entering into some sort of
an agreement"
Oral Pacts Not Always Invalid.
Oral agreements may not always
be invalid, considered in relation to
all the circumstances of particular
cases, the board said.
But in this case, it added, the rea-
sons advanced by the company for
refusing to sign an agreement, CON
sidered in connection with the fac
tual background of the current dis
pute, indicate clearly that the re-
spondent was and is motivated in its
action by desire to check the

TRAP THEORY
BROUGHT UP IN
w RIGHT TRIAL
Plot to Catch Wife, Best
Friend Inferred by
Prosecutor

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 81.
(UP)-The possibility that
Paul A. Wright set a trap
for his wife and his best
friend and then shot them
down after having observed them
through a bedroom mirror, was
advanced as Wright's trial on
charges of numbering his wife, Ev-
elvn. and his friend, John B. Kim
mel, was resumed today.
Prosecutor Ernest Roll, in ques-
tioning Policeman Harry w, Reed,
stressed the appearance OF the bed
in Wright's bedroom and the posi-
ton of chair in the room when
Reed arrived at the scene on the
morning of Nov. 9.
Reed said the bed clothes were
turned back neatly and that a
snail indentation appeared on one
of the pillows.
The chair, which was placed in
position where a person seated
in il could, under proper circum-
stances. view the actions of per-
sons in the living room, had a
bedspread thrown over it, Reed
said.
A further step in the apparent
efforts of the prosecution to show
that Wright spied on his wife
and Kimmel and then possibly
crept up on them and shot them
to death as they sat at the piano
was revealed when Roll brought
out that two of the spent shells OF
Wright's gun were found inside the
piano on the musical strings.
The position of the piano in the
living room and the place where
the shells were found were pointed
out as indicating that at the time
at least two of the fatal shots were
fired. the person who fired them
had been comparatively close to
the piano.
