IT IS HAPPENING NOW

IN TWO PARTS-PART TWO =

Rosie's mother turned on her pillow,
and angrily she tried to stifle the
burst of sobs his image had called
forth. Never could she forget him,
try as she would, and indeed she did
try.
She was no widow, as all those about
her believed and as far as she knew
that man who had subdued and cap
tured her proud heart, and then had
behaved so very i'll by her, was alive.
But where she neither knew, nor, she
would sometimes assure herself, cared.
Yet now and again, lying in the dark
ness, and she was lying now in the
darkness. she felt a terrible longing
for him.
Turning round she thrust the man
who'd brought her shame and misery
on the one hand, and the one thing
in the world that mattered to her,
that was Rosie, from her mind. Reluc-
family, she told herself that Miss Gas
kell had been right. It was a good

thing that the child had been spared
the events of this aweSome night.


And with the thought of Rosie she
became calm, and fell into a heavy
sleep. That sleep must have gone on
for hours, for as she was suddenly
awakened by frantic banging on her
front door, she saw the dawn was
breaking over the now still and Sleep
ing town.
Leaping from her bed, she rushed
into mt the the other room and opened wide
one woman with whom she had a
neighborly relation. This Mrs Jenkins
was also lonely and as they say in
that part of England, a manless wom-
an. She, too, had a little girl. but a
child much younger than Rosie Bar
lock.
Her pallid face now looked dis
for you Mrs. Barlock!" and she pushed
her way into the ROOM 1T wasn't a
sham raid last night, it was the enemy!
Hark!"
And sure enough there came the
droning Of three planes right up in the
sky. And they say those devils could
e cause o Of the sIacfout So they flew Few
away. and now they're busy dropping
their loads of death out on the country
side. So you see our little ones would
have been far safer here with u.s."
The woman had sunk down onto a
chair. She began laughing and crying,
working herself up into a fit of mad
mysteries.
Though deadly fear was now clutch
firmly, Il can't believe what you say
is true, Mrs. Jenkins. But Just stay
quietly here, and I'll go and find out,
and as she spoke she was hurrying
on her hat, and her coat.
Though her reason, and she was an
intelligent and reasonable woman, told
her that this poor soul had gotten hold
couldn't take any chance where her
child was in question. It had not taken
her three seconds to make up her mind
to walk the 10 miles to Crown Lacy
and find out If Rosie was safe.
At eight o'clock the next morning
beautiful spring-like morntng-the
owner of Crown Lacy had already taken
his sluggery.
1t was delightful room, with anus
ing sporting prints and old caricatures
on the walls. But there the late owner
whose family had held the estate for
over 500 years had spent many tragic
hours, since each Of his three sons had

McCURDY AND DIGNITY
An Editorial

AT last Mr.. Joseph P. McCurdy has
answered the charges made in these
columns for the past three months, that
he is taking taxpayers money under false
pretenseS for alleged "full time services
as member of the Maryland Unemploy-
ment Compensation Board
His answer consisting of forty-seven
words, was made to a reporter of the Bal
timore Evening Sun and Reads:
Il am doing my duty as member of
the board, on which ! serve AS a represen-
tative of labor. and at the request of labor.
] am discharging all the duties of my office
and attending to all matters before us. Ny
record is open."
Mr.. McCurdy added bat he did not
care to dignity" the charges by any longer
reply.
We are frankly dubious of any efforts
of Mr.. McCurdy which would add dignity
as readers of our series will have already
little dignity in the gentleman.
There is no dignity" about man who
will sell out the labor movement for a
$5,00O.00 per year appointment. We charged
McCurdy with just such an act when he
recently endorsed the Occupational Disease
Bill which was so dear to the heart of Gov
ernor O'Conor who named him to office
Prior to being appointed by the Gov
ernor Mr.. McCurdy opposed this Bill-upon
his appointment he dutifully stayed away
from the hearings and reported his orQani-
cation supported the measure. But Mr.
McCurdy will not make any explanation
of his strange conversion
There is no dignity" about labor
leader who holds three important, pay
ing posts in the labor movement and
simultaneously accepts a 100000 per
year State job which calls for full
time services May we add, also,
that there can be little respect for

Governor who offers such purchase
price TO a spokesman Of labor.
NlcCurdy rightly states that his rec
ord is open" We invite public inspection
of his record. not only on the strange case
Of the Occupational Diseases Bill, but also
on the recent Wages and Hours Bill in the
Maryland General Assembly. We charge
that this spokesman" OF labor did not lift
finger to further this proposed legislation
in the interests of the workers.
We invite public attention to McCurdy's
complete lack of any legislative effort for
the workers at the last session. In fact
we must ask ourselves whether Mr.. Nc
Curdy DARE appear in the interests of any
workers legislation while he holds his
100000 year job and when such job by
law requires his full time services"
Frankly, we have TO laugh when Nc
Curdy makes use of the word dignity.
Reasonable people and honest peonle may
be quick to think that the REAL reason
for McCurdy's short answer is that he has
no defense to make 10 the charges.
The Baltimore Sunpapers seem to have
DcCOtHS lHleIcStcu III tue SSdIlhui de Ia t'i-
denced by both their letter columns and
news columns.
We desire to make it plain that former
Governor Nice did NOT name McCurdy TO
his first term, but rather, that the naming
was done by the State Board which had a
Democratic majority.
Governor O'Conor. however, himself re-
named McCurdy TO six year term. We
again invite the Governors answer to the
criticism that his appointment has silenced
the state voice of the American Federation
Of Labor, that his appointee is taking public
funds in violation of the law creating his
office and that the deal" is a scandal which
stinks TO high heaven Of political corrup-
ton.
But we do NOT expect him to answer !.

oh. yes, there is lot OF publicity
and fund raising and running
around TO raise the funds Tor the
Heating Memorial Day Nursery.
And let us say that 1t is a very
worthy cause which labor and this
paper was glad to help.
But there is cold silence when We
ask What is to happen to the 100
WPA workers and their families who
lose their income today, because
Cumberland City Commissioners re-
fuse to put up share OF the money
10 carry out the WPA projects

There are lot Of children being
given day time care in the Nursery.
But there are lots OF children who
need day and night care in 'the
