if YOU saw that guy walking away
from you down the street you'd
know him? You looked at his back,
didn't you?"
But how could l describe a
mans back? How could put the
police on his trail? Maybe I could
recognize him, yes, bu' the police
force wouldn't be able to help us.
The only chance of finding that
man would be for me to happen to
walk up behind him-and then I'd
likely miss him. No, Jerry, finding
the killer is something that is Sec
ondary to clearing you"
II don't see it,"

that? Oh, see. You think maybe
it's a police car? Well, it doesn't
look like one to me-"
He took my arm and led me up
the walk. Come upstairs. think
you could describe that guy to me,
if you put your mind to it."
Our footsteps on the porch at
tracted the attention of visitors in
the parlor. They met us at the
door-George Markham, accom-
panied by two men l had seen at
the police station. The two were
plain clothes officers.
"Mr. Montcalm!" George an

action in this-this dastardly MUIR

Jerry took a step back. AL

shoulder to steady him.
II believe in giving every man
a fair chance" George Markham
said, but to me there is no doubt"
His face was grim. ITO kill him for
a handful of stones was the most
cowardly, inhuman thing"
One of the plain clothes men
stepped forward. "Oh, let's save
that for the judge" he said. Come
along with us, Mr.. Montcalm."
I stood dumb, motionless, as they
walked toward the car. | didn't
know what to do.
Jerry's face was white as he

Tie doctor has testified that
Markham was stabbed to death
from in front by some sharp in
syrumenc on which were grains Of
soil. \ broken crOquet mallet with
blood or i was found near the
place Markham had been standing
in the rose 8rbOr. A stool was miss
mo from the arbor and an electric
Hont wire overhead had been torn
down. Marks on the walk indicated
that the icWeler had been killed in
the rose arbor and dragged beside
the lily pond, where he was found
living face upwards.
All members of the party had
been in the parlor at the time OF
tie killing. except Strickland and
possibly Alontcalm, witnesses say.
During The Investigation Strickland
Climbed down by way of the light
well to retrieve his knife, which he
had dropped in the garden, and
which he thought would be evidence
AGAINST him. He was attacked by
someone hiding in the bushes and
was taken away in boat and made
prisoner in a warehouse, from
which he escaped, he has told the
newspapers.
Captain Mcdonald has testified
MI windows but one were locked,
and there were no footprints under
that window and no footprints, eX-

river and the scene of the crime.
"Tnct is all, unless you have

There were no questions. The

stenping down and advancing 10
yard me with hand outstretched.
Il fear 1 must apologize, StrlcE-

Coroner Silver a written verdict.

Il don't care where it came

young man would be incapable Of
doing this-this awful thing"
"Pnooey! The incest looking
murderers are the worst. He was
poor He needed the diamonds,
didn't he? He was going to marry
a rich girl" Belzer turned to me.
And there's another thing for you
to think OF. Why should you stick

Louise's eyes widened.

Lets not bring Miss Benson
into this. She preferred Jerry be-

better man, I suppose. Jerry didn't
steal her, as you say"
I've been looking you up" Bel
ger informed me. You're not the
mystery you used to be. know
you followed the Benson family
when they moved to this city. 1
know you gave up a good job, just
to be nearer that girl. You're in
love with her, and you're a sap if
you don't see what break you're
getting. Maybe she fell for your
friend Jerry, but she's going to for

nance is on the rocks"
l was angry. And while you're
trying to convict him on circum-

her heart"
"Circumstantial evidence! When
the police grill him about this,
there'll be a confession."

Don't you think he acted queer

told Jerry firmly.
Jerry dropped his head. I'm

have committed this murder as
some people seem to think" the
coroner commented. He threw a
glance OF triumph at Captain Nc
Donald.

for the press of people around me.
The room was reeling.
However. the coroner contin-
ued, I'VE must look into all angles.
He asked his Witness. Mr.. Berry.
die YOU see Montcalm so out into
The garden shortly after Strickland
went upstairs
Yes, but l didn't think anything
about it at the time
Why not? That is positive evi-
dence that Jerry Montcalm was
alone with the jeWrler 4 few MN
utes before he was found dead.
But there was no murder then-
I mean. we didn't know about Il
then. A lot OF us had gone out int"
the garden earlier. Before the over

Cigar Industry Loses
Learners Wage Plea

Washington, ID. C.-Col. Philip B.
Fleming, Administrator of the Wage
and Hour Division of the Labor De-
partment, denied permission to en-
ploy learners in the cigar industry,
at wages lower than the minimum of
30 cents an hour fixed under the Fair
Labor Standards Act. Application
for the lower wages was made by
the Cigar Manufacturers Association
of America and individual cigar man
ufacturers. Col Fleming's decision was
based on review by Henry II. Hunt,
principal hearings examiner, reversing
the determination of Merle ID. Vincent
assistant administrator in charge of
the hearings, that an eight weeks
learning period in the machine-made
branch and six months learning
period in the handmade branch are
necessary. Mr.. Hunt found that long
periods of training in either branch
are not necessary.

COOPERS' LABEL

The Union Label of the Coopers'
International Union of North
America is indented plainly into
the end of the bung stave of
Union-made beer and ale cooperage
of every description, and placed
where it can be readily seen on
tanks and containers.
On Union-made slack barrels,
soft wood barrels, or butter tubs,
Label should be stamped plainly
on a smooth stave between the
head and quarter hoops, in blue ink.
The Coopers' Union is one Of the
oldest in America. The Coopers'
Union was first known among
Coopers as the Boston Guild, the
charter Of which was granted by
the Colony Of the Massachusetts,
Bay in 164S. Later, in 1888, the
Coopers were organized into Trade
Unions, and the Coopers' Interna-
tional Union of North America
was founded in 1870.

In New England there are public
monuments to labors great contribu
tions in the establishment Of our pub
lie school system. Whatever may
have been the slight and temporary
alterations, labor has come down
from the very first days of unions,
fighting over the whole broad field for
human rights, human freedom, de-
mocracy and better life for all. If
corporate wealth survives it will be
because labor has compelled moder-
ations that make corporate wealth
serviceable and not purely an engine
Of exploitation. As the warm days of
spring draw near, to warm the earth
again into new life, let these be things
for contemplation. 1t isn't labor that
wills the murder, the devastation, the
horrible mutiliation of civilization La
Dor fights FOR life, not for it's de-
Struction.

: Bread And War
i BY DR.. Charles Stelzle =:
4 4 = I. + + + 4 !. + 4. \ + + + + 1

"Give US this day our daily bread
has been the universal cry of mankind
since the beginning Of time. 1t was
the first petition in the prayer taught
by Jesus to His disciples 1000 years
ago. The fight for Bread has been
the animating force back of the great
est struggles in history. The tramp
ing of armies, the booming of cannon,
the pilgrimage of pioneers, the strug-
giles of the workers, synchronize in a
mighty staccato marching chorus Of
Bread. Bread.-BREAD! BREAD!
Riots to obtain food, rebellion
against starvation wages, the over
throw Of political parties, have per-
sisted when the people were hungry
At such a time every other considera-
tion-moral, ethical and religious-has
been swept aside. International war
fare has been stimulated because the
nations We're made to believe that only
through war could their physical hun
ger be satisfied, even though war has
broken the backs of the common peo-
pie because of endless debt, and the
payment of other penalties.
TO secure Bread for the people
systematic villifcation and misrepre-
sentation has been engaged in to breed
hatred among neighbor nations. TO
the same end barriers have been
erected between nations through the
enactment Of selfish legislation and the
practice of inhuman customs, which
have created deepseated prejudices re-
sulting in isolation and irreparable
separation.
The imperative demand for that
which gives life, has been made the
occasion for engaging in struggles
that resulted in death. Instead of
working together to produce the
Bread of Life for all humanity, the
nations have been engaged in cruel
warfare which has resulted in destruc-
ton to the whole people. And so, the
world is today organized upon war
basis.
There can be no peace on earth I'M
til the prayer Of all the nations, and
all people everywhere, GIVE us this
day our daily bread, is answered
There may be bread enough, and to
spare, for all the people. But to this
end, men need to learn the wisdom
taught by the prophet Hosea nearly 3d.
600 years ago, to beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks" Then, we are assured
"nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war
any more" For when the normal de-
sires of men have been satisfied, they
will consider their mutual problems in
a natural fashion. The common
enemies of mankind are those who de.
prive the nations of Bread.
