WRITTEN FOR AND RELEASED BY
CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION

, Ransom, impeccable in q new tux
edo, with minute red carnation
in his buttonhole, was escorting a
girl into Twenty-One, the night
club in New York's West Fifties
where society and stage, particu-
larly the younger members, con-
gregate when the theater is over.
The girl had a small part in
Sparkle, Sparkle, Sparkle" Since
the night that Robert had seen her
first, he had escorted her to the
Stork club, Ell Morocco and the st.
Regis. He had not intended to see
her more than once, the day he
made his boast to Robert Kennedy.
He had been hurt and he needed a
weapon in defense.
But she was gay and unimpor-
tant and beautiful in a fiamboyant
way, with eyelashes too dark and
thick, and hair too plainly blon-
dined. So he came down from his
college three different nights.
But he had not fulfilled that
threat to get drunk the first eve
ming or the second. Not until the
third.
Something about the girl had
been a little nauseating. Maybe the
way that she coined affectionate
terms and used them for periods
and exclamation marks. Maybe the
way her hands reached out to touch
everything she wanted, especially if
it were a tall young boy with
brooding eyes who would take only
lemonades or coffee.
Anyway, Robert said suddenly.
as though the words were a repeti-
ton instead Of an introduction:- "A
double Scotch, please"
He said it again. Not once, but
twice, before the club closed, and
he dropped the girl at the hotel
where she lived. He had not grown
merrier with the liquor. He was an
grier, more respondent. His mind
was fuddled and blocked. He sat
down on the curb to think. This
was a wow! He'd supposed Scotch
made your worries go phfft and sent
you OFF in a cloud bank.
A passing policeman scanned
him, amusement in his eyes. "Not
feeling well, buddy?"
"Sure! I feel swell! But let me
tell you something. There's nothing
to that line about drink. It doesn't
pep you up. I know"
"Good! Then you won't want any
more. Isn't there something you
ought to be doing, some place you
ought to be going?"
"Sure! Sure! You're right. I have
to telephone-have to- telephone q
long distance"
He walked surprisingly straight,
the officer decided. as he went
away.
Robert went to the nearest all
night drug store, had a five-dollar
bill changed to nickles. dimes and
quarters, and gave the name Of
Corrinne's college to the operator.
Someone at her dormitory insisted
on asking what he wanted at that
hour before calling her to the
phone, but he would not answer.
Finally, after his money had made
a silver jingle In the booth for a.
moment, he heard Corrinne's voice.
"Yes?"
This is Bob. Robert Randall

She supposed he was seeking fer

sound serious. She had no idea why
he should call at this time, or any
time; not now, when she was get

"Oh, yes, I remember! The guy

"Sure, that guy. That's all it

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE


IT WAS LATE in the afternoon,
the day following her shopping
orgy, when Sarah Anne came to
.Corrinne's college campus. She
wore the rust-colored bolero suit
and the off-the-face hat of shining
bronze, and the brown suede acces-
SORES.
Corrinne had not met the bus
which brought Sarah Anne from
the college station, because there
had been such uncertainty about
the hour of her coming.
Riding along to the dormitory,
Sarah Anne felt the serenity of the
wide campus whose naples wore
the red and colds and browns of
ending autumn. Squares Of yellow
light shone in the windows of
building and house, and a radiant
moon Of a clock on the tallest col
ilege tower declared it was half-past
five.
! The rain, which had let up for
a day, was coming again. It was an
incessant, sharp down-beat which
had no melody.
! Someone was playing a piano in
the rear Of the drawing room at
lCorrinne's house, and a small group
Of girls and boys were popping
corn around an immense fireplace.
| When Sarah Anne was .ushered into
the room, a pretty girl looked up.
Then she held out a slim hand.
you're Sarah Anne, aren't you :?
We've all been watching the buses
waiting for you"
Immediately Sarah Anne was the
center Of a friendly, interested
group. Someone hurried to tell
Corrinne that she had come. Some
body else filed a bowl with the
white, buttered popcorn for her.
Hours later, when the dormitory
dinner was over, and the girls had
ldrifted back to their own rooms,
Sarah Anne said to Corrinne. who
was fitting her new hat one way.
then another, as she posed before
the mirror:
Il feel so at home. EVERYBODY
understands about what happened
to us, in the summer, and nobody
minds"
Corrinne removed the frivolous
hat and her blue eyes darkened.
It's because we're all young, I
guess. We know how easily things
/; can happen-no signboards on most
OF our streets to point directions
the way they will in thirty years
or so."
Corrinne had not mentioned Rob-
zert Ransom, though it was his con-
tempt Of her that had led to this
= visit Of Sarah Anne's. Now she be-
gan to- talk about him.

into TALKS
ON new AGREEMENT

The following is a glimpse into
the discussions on the demand. The
word for word transcript of the
discussions on miners, engineers
and sm~eltermen's demands is esti-
mated at about $50 letter sized
pages. As you will see, the off
Gals of the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company can listen, but it
is doubtful that they can hear.
VIM. MASON: We are asking for
a half hour cut in the present work
day. Instead of being underground
eight and one-half hours each in
dividual would be up at the collar
of the shaft exactly eight hours after
he stepped on the cage to go down.
MR.. KELLY: Eight hours from the
time the first cage is sent down the
shaft to the time the first cage
arrives at surface?
R. c. BROWN: Yes. And on the
night shift the first cage would leave
surface at six o'clock and the first
one would arrive at surface at two
o'clock.
MR.. DAILY: In other words the
men eat on company time?
VIM. MASON: That's right.
MR.. LINFORTH: Over a half hour
of the time from work.
R. C. BROWN: AS 1 said before its
really no impossibility. We really
believe you could very we'll afford
to throw in another half hour. But
we're modest.
(Here the company officials
claimed that men would not have
enough time to get to their work
places and back to the station at
quitting time, stating that it takes
over a half hour each way for the
average place.
VIM. MASON: For an illustration
let's take this building and the
School of Mines. Say that we start
ed from the top floor of the Finlen
hotel at three o'clock sharp. We
could descend on the elevator, walk
west on Broadway and be at the
School of Mines at fifteen after
three. There is not a place in the
Butte mines to which the distance
is any greater from the station.
OFFICIALS: Silent.
HARRY BAIRD: AS far as hosting
is concerned, I had a lot of expert
ence on that. 1t takes from three
to four minutes to get a load of men
to the surface. That's from the 5000
of the Stewart.
MR.. KELLY: Load the cage and
bring it up to the surface.
HARRY BAIRD: Well, maybe you
would start down about four minutes
before the whistle. It takes about
a minute to get down. You would
load and be up with the whistle.

Maritime Union Asks
Help Against Unfair
Gasoline Companies

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council has been requested by the
National Maritime Union to assist in
making effective a boycott against
the products of the Standard Oil
Company and its affiliates. The let
ter came from New York and is as
follows:
NATIONAL MARITIME UNION
OF AMERICA
New York, N. Y.
Dear Sirs and Brothers:
We are writing to acquaint you
with struggle against the power
full anti-union oil companies, and to
ask for financial and moral support
in our campaign on the boycott
against the companies products and
by-products.
After studying the vicious union-
busting tactics of Standard Oil, the
membership of the National Mari
time Union voted to institute a ma
tionwide boycott against the unfair
companies goods. The companies
are: Standard Oil Company and
affiliates, Tidewater Associated Oil
Company and the C. D. Mallory
Shipping Company.
The National Boycott Committee
thus established, has as its main OBJ
jectives to supply the facts of Stand
ard OILS vicious tactics and make
certain that every union member
and all progressive people are aware
of the boycott. For this we need
money for publicity, printing and
postage. We believe that you can
see that this fight is not only ours,
but should be supported by all
unions. You are fully aware that
these companies, named above, will
not consent to union recognition and
to a decent living and working
standard, unless they are convinced
that the N. M. U. has the support
of organized labor.
It is well known that boycotts
have been successful in local
struggles. We appeal to you, be-
cause of your knowledge through
past experience, to aid US at this
time. We want to assure you that
the members of organized labor will
appreciate your financial aid and
will remember your example of soli-
darity among all progressive people.
It is our purpose through publ
Ching this boycott to prove to Or
ganized Labor and their friends the
value Of a centralized bureau of this
nature. Our files are being made
permanent. The success or failure
of this enterprise depends solely
upon your financial and moral sup
port.
With fraternal greetings and with
deep appreciation for your favorable
action on this matter, we are
Fraternally yours,
William o. Sims, Sec'y-Treas.,

MOST CAMPS NOW
HAVE THE 8-H0UR
COLLAR TO COLLAR

Butte miners have had the present
8-hour day since 1903 and in SO
years it has not been shortened n
minute. As it works out in practice,
of course, it is nearer to a e-hour
day. One of the principal demands
of the miners in the present negotia-
tions is for an 8-hour day, collar to
collar. This has come to be the
standard working day in nearly
every mining camp in the West ex-
cept Butte. The opposition of the
company to this proposal is difficult
to understand.
On what grounds does the com
pany object to the 8-hour collar to
collar day? Why, they say, the
miner would not be able to complete
the usual cycle of work in less time
than at present. They may have in
mind the round-in-round out drifts.
The average miner, however, knows
that he could and would do the same
amount of work in an 8-hour collar
to collar day as he does now. He
would be glad to do it and spend
one-half hour less underground.
The negotiating committee argued
and it can be proved that the 8-hour
collar to collar would not cost the
company a dime. The real reason
for the company opposing the idea
seems to be that it would represent
a small but definite victory for the
union. And so it would. A perma-
nent improvement in hours or work
ing conditions is something that Is
there for all time to remind the
miners Of what can be done through
the power Of a union. It is there
when wage increases have been alb
sorbed by a rising cost of living.
1t Is for that reason that Butte
miners should put up the most de-
termined fight for the 9-hour collar
to collar day and should never sign
an agreement without this provision.

UNION UPHELD IN
RIGHT TO BRING
CASE TO PUBLIC

NEWARK, Sept. 6.-Refusing to
enjoin the D~elicatessen and Cafeteria
Workers Union Local 40 from carry
ing signs in the streets announcing
that the John R. Thompson Cafeteria
at 1856 Market St. is unfair, Vice
Chancellor Bigelow this week ruled
that even though no strike exists"
a labor union has the right to pre-
sent its cas- to the customers and
the public by placards, signs and
speech.
Such a justification of union rights
would seem to be elementary and
obvious, but the decision actually
comes as a great Qualification of the
rig} IS of striking employees from
the Chancery Courts of New Jersey.
The court had previously restrained
the union from picketing the cafe
terra from which the workers had
struck on the grounds that, if their
jobs were filled and business was
proceeding as usual, no strike existed.
Had the union been deprived Of
the right to advertise the unfairness
of the Thompson establishment, as
the company wished the picketing
injunction interpreted, precedent
would have been established to com
pletely deny strikers opportunity to
present their side of a labor dispute
to the public.
Court Ruling.
Holding that statements on the
union placards were free of ma
terial Misrepresentation" the Vice
Chancellor stated that the word "un-
fair" applied by a union to an en-
ployer is generally recognized as a
characterization of an employer who
refuses to conduct his business in
the manner desired by the union and
SO constitutes a notice of a dispute"

who represented the Delicatessen
and Cafeteria Workers in this vic
tory.-Peoples Press.

CHURCH SOCIETIES /
ANNOUNCEMENT

In the discussion following, one
of the men of the Aycock community
wondered why there are fewer
cartridges than formerly, and
brought out the fact that more win
ter food is provided than ever before,
since lespedeza, soy beans, and other
grain crops are so extensively plant
ed. One person present thought the
many stray dogs and cats through
out the county the answer to this
question, and another that the clear
ing out of gulleys and thickets
around, the edges of fields and road
sides explained the fact, because
birds require shelter as we'll as food
for preservation.
About sixty people were present,
the largest group being the older
boys and girls of the school, Notice
was given of the Bird club exhibit
to be held in Mrs. A. J. Davis gar
den when Henderson gardens are
open for the Garden fortnight, April
II and Is, to which all who. love
birds are invited.
