Wagner Challenges Foes
Of Act to Offer Changes

Washington, April IL (AP)-
Senator Wagner, Democrat, New
York, challenged advocates of a re-
vised labor relations act today to
prove that their suggestions would
help the operations of the law and
not destroy it.
"Any diminution of its effective
ness would be national evil" Wag-
ner told the Senate Labor Commit
tee. cts mutilation would be ma
tional calamitq."
AS the committee took up the work
of modifying the act, Wagner de-
clared if the need for alterations
were shown, he would introduce
amendment or support those of 9th
er senators. He said repeatedly, how
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-04-11

ever, that the basic principles of the
act are sound.
He said he would support pro-
posals to let employers petition for
elections to ascertain which bargain
ing agency should represent their
workers, but contended that ruling
of the labor board and not the act
itself prevented such petitions.
A comprehensive series of amend
ments have been proposed by the
American Federation of Labor as an
aftermath of controversies between
it's craft unions and the industrial
unions of the CLIO. The ALL also
would restrict powers of the labor
board to invalidate existing union
contracts.

no one ever forgets."
"What were you doing there?" she
went on. "You and that English mas

land upon which he stood and the air
he breathed were his by divine right"

the window and he blinked for mo-
ment in the strong light. The dinghy
was almost out of sight now and her
sail might have been the white wing

"This is to be purely a mercenary

IL haven't the faintest idea," Mat
resser admitted.
She looked over her shoulder, then
came a step nearer the car.
there's something else seems to
me queer, your lordship," she went on.
1.-TWO of the crew arrived about a
week ago and seem to have been do
ing nothing but hanging around Up
per Matresser and asking questions
They say the Dutchman was short
handed. Why did he send these men
on ahead if he needed them for the
boat? And then, this lady friend. She
came down with another of the crew
that Monday night in a sort of motor
continuance which they took to pieces
on the pier, and they went out again
that very same night. I can't make
out what they came to these parts foI
at all"
"Don't worry your pretty head,
Nancy" Matresser smiled. 1--WE kept
YOU here gossiping long enough. Jolly
good beer. Buy a hat with the change
nay dear"
'But 1 don't give a sovereign for
my hats" she laughed.
"Ah, well, let yourself go for once"
he advised as he started the car
with a mysterious rival on the
premises you must look your best"
He waved his hand and drove off.
The luncheon gong was booming as
the gates of the avenue swung open
before him.

lie here in your arms my little brown
bear, if you only happened by chance
to care about that sort of thing as I
do! We could watch that little sail
and we should know all the time that
we were as safe as though we were in
another world. Are you answered? ?"
Gin one way" Yates acknowledged,
"but I, too, am sometimes curious and
I ask myself what liberties he per-
mits."
"None at ALL" she sighed. "That
is another of his feminine failings
He is viciously, dangerously jealous
I am not one who runs risks where
he is concerned. That I can assure
you. Now, let us come to the point
Let us speak of that other matter
You should know your master by this
time. Is he working at great book
to tell others about the wonderful
countries he has visited? No. He
plays games. That is like the Eng
lish. My employer he plays no game
for amusement only. He would write
the book. We believe that you have
the information he needs. To you ii
is useful. To us it is worth a great
deal, my dear"
"a book in the Dutch language!
Yates calculated.
"How little you know of such af-
fairs" she scoffed. "The book would
be written in English, Dutch, French
and German and published at the same
time. Mr.. van Westrheene for all his
faults is very honest man. He would
not wish to deceive you. He would
gain great deal of money if he could
make that book as comprehensive as
he wishes. He wishes you to have q
share Of that profit. It is not small
sum he would give if you are able tt
afford him the information he desires
De not speak too hastily. I will moi
deceive you. It is who have taken al
the trouble in this matter. I, too
should expect part of the profit"

becoming dimples.
Mr.. Yates coughed.
"Alas," he sighed, "there were days
when was young, perhaps"
She made a grimace.
"Englishmen are always young,
she insisted. "That is what like a.
bout them. They are always young
enough to be foolish. However, we
shall see. Day by day we shall get
to know one another better-yes? You
will have more courage? Please agree
with me at once"
"I trust So"
Henry Yates, with his whiskey and
soda and the girl with her large glass
of sherry, sat close to the small rose
wood table and quite close to one an
other. The young lady was dark, in
clined to be robust, with severe fea-
lures and heavy eyebrows. She used
cosmetics freely and her semi-nautical
costume did not err on the side of
modesty. Her smile and manner,
however, were not altogether without
allure. Matresser probably would
have found it hard to believe that this
was the same woman whose face he
had seen peering over the muslin blind
not so many hours before.
"Tell me about the inquest, my
Henry" she invited.
81 know no more than you do," he
assured her. "'His lordship came in
to my room for minute or two on
his return and he simply looked thru
a few letters I had laid out for him
and signed some cheques"
"But at luncheon time surely ne

he told her. "I have only seen his

his. "Have you made up your mind 2

a little closer to him. "Now shall

of leaving the boat-what would be
his-er-reaction when he found us
sitting here together?"
"You are like every one of the low

"You are afraid of that giant of mine,
although he means less than nothing
to me. Well, I do not blame you
To look at him he is fearful. But
now I will show you something, Henry,
my dear. l am not a fool. Look out
of that window. Look past the
stumpy little white house, past that
sandy ridge right down the creek out
to the sea. What do you see there 2"
"A dinghy with single sail up"
was the prompt reply.
"Quite right. And in that dinghy
is one man and that one man is my
employer. That is how he loves to
pass the time. If he were to sudden
ly be suspicious of me at this moment

To tell you the truth is it some time
since my master and I crossed the

She was standing by his side, the
chart still spread out before them.
She gripped him by the shoulders.

evening, Henry Yates, his blue serge
suit neatly brushed, wearing HON.
burg hat and carrying very smart
cane, entered the Matresser Arms by
the back yard with the air of an
habitue and opened the door of the
small private parlor leading out of the
bar. A woman who was lounging in
an easy chair with her feet upon the
table smoking a cigarette, waved her
hand to him in cheerful greeting.
"Punctual to the moment, my Hen

Tell me all the news. What happened

"Shall it be the same as usual?"
The woman yawned.

derstand that I change never my

are short handed here today"
Henry Yates did as he was hidden.
pausing a moment to shake hands
and exchange a word of gossip with
Mrs. Hewells, the wife of the innkeep-
er. She ventured upon word of half
chatting warning.
"You be careful" Mr.. Yates" she
advised him. "That long Dutchman
has an evil temper and he could break
any ordinary man across his knee like
an ash twig He may not like you
here flirting with his secretary, or
whatever the lady may call herself"
Henry Yates was properly shocked.
Mrs. Hewell's," he protested, Eat

come! The young lady is agreeable
and she likes to exchange a friendly
word or two now and then. But with
me- ask you, Mrs. Hewells!"
"A WELL" the lady retorted, Nancy
says she isn't too sure about you. His
lordship was down here this morning
talking to her, so of course she has
been all in a other ever SINCE"

retreated with the two glasses upon

"And behold" she added, extending
her hand, "your greeting, please"
He kissed her hand awkwardly.
why do you try to make me learn
these foreign tricks?" he complained.
"I'm much too old.'
II make you learn them," she said,
because you are too shy to greet a
