Those who are opposed to this
country sending every possible ma
terial aid to the Allies should re-
member that the Allies alone in all
the world represent what is dearest
to all Americans, individual liberty
and freedom. If England is crushed
We will be left alone to face the
enemies of democracy. We will be
an island of democracy in a sea of
relationships, and relationships hate
democrac;es above everything else.

France desert her ally England and

that II we were Frenchman in

Events in Europe do not tend to
give us a very high regard for the
nations of that part of the world.
Germany is a ruthless invader of
other nations. The King Of Bel

France. Russia took advantage of
Finland, country one-fiftieth of
her size. Italy stuck a knife into
the back of its neighbor, and France
deserted England. England is now
left alone to fight the enemy Of

YESTERDAY: At the height of the

announces a jewel robbery.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Something was bound to hap
pen! Gayle murmered that more
to herself than to the others as
they hurried back to the house.
'It was all too perfect"
Bill squeezed her elbow, COM

Take it easy" he counseled.
Graham took them to distracted
guests named Tway, young mar

"Margie's bracelet-some body

TWays face was a tsudy in mis-

We'll find it if-tell us every

four, plus Graham, were alone in
the entryway of the mansion.

Her young husband picked up
the conversation, nervously. She
ran to look for it, but it was gone.
She asked the maid, but the maid
hadn't seen it. And the butler

ladies as you ordered, miss" Ora

Yes, Graham. Oh, dear"
Nobody had entered the large

second floor, save the women. The
new maid Maudie had been told
by Graham to keep tactful watch
on it, guiding feminine guests there
seeing that pins and lipsticks and
rouge and powder and any other
little necessities were supplied. If
Mrs. Tway had left her bracelet
watch there at 9 pm. and remem-
bered it after II, any one of so or
more girls might have picked it
up.

Graham stated to the group now

to her. And it spoils your enjoy

cur own, to think that a thief

Bill Bailey spoke then.
"Goyle, lets interview that
maid. She's new. The Maudie per-
son."
Maudie was brought quietly into
the conference. Dance music was
playing in the big rooms and
gaiety reigned there still, but these
few heard O. of it. Maudie sur
prised them by speaking first.
1T is best that l introduce my
self again, Miss Dixon" she said.
II knew you would call me. My
name is not Maudie, really. I am
not a professional maid"
"But-but-"
Il know. I'm sorry about it all,
but the truth is I'm a police-wom-

the city detective bureau put me

that. The others were just staring.

NATURALLY you won't understand
Miss Dixon, and Mr.. Bailey, but
well, the department knew you had
a criminal in The Oaks. This is a
millionaire's home. The portable

Bill put in.
Bill did the telephoning, and
within 20 minutes everything the

help put the Third Congress over. He
informed me that he had borrowed it
and mentioned the name Of a man.
l was given no specific identity of the
man. What was the source Of this
money? The delegates to the Congress
should know. Because whatever is the
source of the money with which the
Congress is run, will also be the source
of its ideas, policies and control.
1t is a well known fact that most
of the contributions to this Congress,
expressed by the Secretary, Mr.. Davis,
are from CIO unions. Is this the rea-
son why the Congress is taking the
CIO line?
In an Executive Committee meeting
in New York City, Mr.. Davis informed
it that the Communist Party contrib
uted SlOO a month to the Congress.
Is this the reason why the Congress
refuses to attempt to make plain to
the American people that it is not a
Communist Front? These questions
should be definitely and unequivocally
answered.

Labor Heads Hit View Cut In Working
Hours Must Bring Reduction In Wages

New York City (ILNS).-A declara-
tion that organized labor must cam
paign for the 30-hour week to make
employment even if it means reducing
the income of some wage earners STIR
red lively debate among labor execu-
tives at a conference on the shorter
week here.
Thomas J. Lyons, president of the
New York State Federation of Labor,
started the fireworks by declaring:
"Sooner or later we have got to meet
squarely the issue of putting people
back to work by shortening working
hours, regardless of whether it means
a reduction of income. There is no use
of kidding around any longer. If or
ganized labor can't do something about
unemployment, we may see govern
ment taking over the unions and run
ming them for u.s."
Viewpoint Challenged
William Cross Of the Photo-En-
gravers Union was the first to chal-
lenge President Lyons viewpoint. He
said he represented an organization
that had reduced hours and raised
wages and asked why labor leader
should recon m e d reduction of

recommend that the employer take the
major burden.
His question was referred by Spen-
Ger Miller, Jr., director of the Work
ers Education Bureau of America and
leader of the discussion, to Professor
Walter Peabody Of Rutgers Univer-
sity, who said he had assumed that
wages would remain the same under
shorter hours.
William Collins, Eastern representa-
tive of the American Federation of
Labor, said emphatically it was a ques-
tion that should be answered and de-
clared the A. F. Of L. position "very
clearly" was that with reduced hours

tive method to reduce unemployment"

Aurora, Ill.-The strike waged here
by the Machinists, Blacksmiths, Fire
men and Oilers, Patternmakers and
Teamsters, all A. F. of L. affiliates,
against the Western-Austin Company,
large manufacturer of dump cars,
road building equipment and other ma

Importance due to the fact that the
company is supported by the Fox River
Valley Manufacturers Association, a
notorious anti-labor "open shop" or
ganization.
Last January the A. F. Of L. unions
won Nat ional Labor Relations
Board election at the company's plant
by majority of 1856 to 45. Later the
company merged it's Harvey, Ill.,, plant
with the Aurora factory and nearly all
of the $50 workers joined the union,
which beg an negotiations with the
management for wage increases and a
signed agreement. The wage increases
would restore pay scales which pre-
vailed prior to reduction two years
ago when speed-up system was in
troduced in the place of a bonus plan.
Reasonable as these terms were the
management refused to grant them,
thus forcing the unions to call strike
which was voted by nearly one hun

of the company reflects the policies
dictated by the Fox River Valley
Manufacturers Association, which is
headed by a Western-Austin official,
Grand Lodge Representative j. W..

said:
"The association has been known for
it's blacklist system. 1t tries to force

vertisements in the newspapers aimed
at melting mob violence against union
men, and for other notorious anti-un-
