CHAPTER NINE

THEN IT'S all set, Is it gentle
men?" white-haired George Brazee
was addressing the Is or 80 men
before him. including some Of his
own cowboys. Wen just make 1t
a verbal contract. I'm hiring Dan
Quait, Tom Hogan. Smoky Joe
Snyder, Jess Buckner and Dink
Hobart from their respective
ranches, and"
"You amt hirin', George" a man
his own age interrupted. I'VE have
these men hired. You're just bor-
rowin' them till the troubles over.
We aim to do all the payin' of
them, right along"
Mr.. Brazee looked at his friend
as if to protest. But he was wise
in the western way. He only nodded
his thanks.
"All right" he resumed then.
eff that's the way it is. Now, i can
let you have some plumb good cow
men to replace these youngsters as
needed. I got few old boys who
mightn't be so anxious to go on a
fighting spree. Jasper Peters, my
camp cook. for instance. wouldn't

"Hell and high water, George
Brace! Nav? Why. I'm not as old
as you be, you decrepit old coot!
I en- out-shoot-"
Peters never got to 1nisn, but
his mustache wiggled in indigna-
ton. A burst Of laughter stopped
him. Affectionate laughter. Brazee
was forced to join it. while gazing
fondly at his cowboy.
"All right, all right, Jasper!
can hire some more men in Blanco
if need be-"
"George-Mr. Brazee, I mean" "
Shot Rogers spoke here. He seemed
to blush q little. being mature
enough to call the older man by his
given name, yet young enough to
feel reticent about doing so.
"What is it, Shot ?"
II can drop my work for a spell.
In fact. I made arrangements.
"Why, Shot, shore! I was about
to say that I wanted you to take
charge. You-well, son, you've got
a quick mind, and you're a deputy

"Then you head the outfit, so

Raleigh, August 7.-Members Of
the State Bureau Of Identification

tor Fred Handy, are rapidly acqulr-

hard and fast rule at this table that

can pick up with the definite and
distinct understanding that 40
quotes by names are permitted.

Recent discussion by the Raleigh
city fathers of ordinance making 1t
illegal to open grocery stores OIL
Sunday, even for the sale Of bread,
while at the same time cafes and
restaurants are free to sell any kind
of eatables, including sandwiches,
brought the following crack from
Lynn Nisbet, quick-witted local
journalist:
"Old man Moses, first to start
these blue laws, made it illegal 10
eat pork in any form, on Sunday Or
otherwise. Now Raleigh's making
it illegal to sell bread on Sunday;
which will make both pork and
bread taboo; but by putting silver
or two of pork between two slices
of bread it will make everything
perfectly legal"
It's getting to be quite the thing
to put newspaper editors on pro-
grams Of all sorts. Latest indication

While military and naval re-
armament is going on apace in
Britain and France and even in
the United States, it is apparent
that not as much thought is given
to the moral rearmament which
may make possible reconciliation
of peoples. Since peoples alone fight
wars and make sacrifices, pressure
upon the nations of Central Europe
is by no means a hopeless task just
as pressure upon the peoples of

But while chances for the growth CT
a moral rearmament may not be

Industrial Organization agitated by
President Roosevelt, Chairman
Thomas of the Senate committee
postponed the hearings.
Pressure for the hearings. how
ever, continued, both from Senators
who sponsored amendments and
from the American Federation OF
Labor and from employers Of labor.
The delay in opening consideration
of the proposed amendments may
have the effect of preventing sny
action on them by Congress at the
present session. That. indeed, is
the hope of the C. I. o. and New
Dealers who believe that there
should be no change in this act.
Full hearings before the Senate
committee may require three weeks,
1t is said, and then the committee
itself may have lengthy debate
over proposed changes in the
statute.
Senator Burke of Nebraska, vino
has been a constant critic Of the adj
ministration of the Wagner Act by
the National Labor Relations Board,
believes, however, that the hearings
will start effective public education,
as we'll as the education Of Con-
gress. regarding the need OF amend
ing the present law. The American
Federation Of Labor. which feels
that the law has been so admin
istered as to give every assistance
to the C. I. o. and to break down
the A. F. of L., has just put forward
an Explanatory comment on the
Federation's proposed amendments
which breathes fire and birthstone.
C. I. o. Hit.
The Federation in this comment
warned its own members that the
C. I. o. has made the false appeal
that the amendments will ruin the
American Federation of Labor and
it's af1iliates" The opposing organ
ization, said the Federation. mas
sought in every way to destroy the
A. F. of L. and spent millions OF
dollars in the effort. Such hy-
pocrisy," it said. should fall of It's
own weight. The truth is that these
rival organizations have been aided
by the board (the N. L. r. b. in
their attempts to destroy Us. The
truth is that our organizations have
been turned over to our rivals by
precedent-making decisions of the
board. The truth is that there is
an attempt to shut us out from car
rying on our legitimate functions TO
organize workers into the American
Federation of Labor unions"
The Federation. pointing out that
the c. I. O. has complained also
about the administration of the
board. insisted that this was merely
an attempt to drag a red herring
across the path and to make the
public believe that the board was
acting in an impartial mannec.
This, the Federation asserted, is now
disclosed by the violent opposition of
the c. I. o. to any amendment in
the act or to change In the board.
The Federation has made it quite
clear to the Senate committee tina.
it desires the amendments it backs
enacted into law, whether or not
