When she spoke these words a
trembling came on Mac Erca. But
1t was given, his kingly word, and
could not be recalled. The woman
named Sheen he brought into his
mansion. In the hall Duaibsech,
his wife. sat with her children.
and the holy Bishop. Cairnech,
was there. too, instructing the
children.
Your kingly word, Mac Erca,"
Sheen said TO him.
And bound by his promise and
his longing for the strange
woman, Mac Erca babe his wife
and children leave the mansion,
and he made Cairnech, for all his
protests, leave too. Then Mac
Erca with Sheen beside him sat
on the high chairs and a feast
was made ready for them in the
hall. Outside there was weeping
as Duaibsech and her children,
under the protection Of Cairnech,
went on their way.
The next morning Mac Erca
rose up more wild about the
wild-eyed woman, Sheen, than he
had been before.
The servants went to make
fires. They no sooner struck
flint than the finder lighted, they
no sooner brought finder TO the
wood than the fires blaZed up In
the mansion of Ceteaeh-B Bat
when the servants asked for a
blessing on the day there were no
priests there to give it.
Mac Erca now looked on Sheen
as n goddess. He asked her to
perform a wonder so that his
household might forget the priests
who would never be let into the
place as long as she was there.
She chanted 20 him.

Losses in Defense Strikes
Exaggerated, keating Says

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 22.-Edward
Keating of Washington, editor OF
Labor, a railroad workers publica-
ton, says the American people
should stop worrying about the 10y
atty of labor in the national defense
effort.
There aren't enough Reds in the
American labor movement to break
up boiler makers picnic" he as
serted. America should thank God
for the high morale of her workers.
Mr.. Keating contended the effect
of strikes in defense industries had
been exaggerated.
He said report by Robert P. Pat
terson, Undersecretary of War
showed that of 66,OO000o man days
worked recently in defense indus
tries, the time lost through work
stoppages amounted to $4,000 man

ed for the mounting defense pro-
gram.
On the other hand, the Labor De-

that defense appropriations and con-

years of labor-and at that time
only about 100000 men and wom-
en- were directly employed in pri-
vately owned and Government de-
fense plants.
Conservative estimates are that
100000 to 100000 more workers
must be added to the working force
Of the defense plants within a year.
The problem faced by Govern
ment, industry and labor is how
the non-defense worker may be re-
trained and redirected into the de-
fense effort to prevent us from
having community stricken with
unemployment next to a community
where a defense plant is seeking
more skilled and semi skilled
workers.
The Government has acted quick
ly through the Office of Production
Management to meet these situations
as they have arisen in aluminium
goods, silk weaving, automobile pro-
duction and other priority unem-
ployment" situations.
Some of these efforts and expert
ences, which provide patterns for
meeting these complicated problems
as they occur in other localities,
will be outlined in later articles in

years of tortured nights when he

of the man who had befriended him
and whom he had slain were ended
today for Harold Malmberg.
Malmberg, 81, died yesterday in
the Nebraska Penitentiary Hospital
from poison he swallowed three days

During his seven years of conflne-
ment Malmberg was a model

and did not seek parole, Mr.. Olson
added.
But he could not face his con-
science.
Malmberg had few nights of peace
since he shot Russell Goodwin three
times in 1884 and left him beside the
road to die after Mr.. Goodwin, a
travelling salesman, had picked up
the hitchhiking youth. In prison

Senate Battle RACES
On Filling Vacancy

Roster and Murtin
Forces Debate Precise
Instant Vacancy Occurred

Senator Kilgore, Democrat, Of
West Virginia, battling for selection
of Joseph Roster as his colleague
from West Virginia, urged the Sen

He contended the will of the
people" was shown in last falls

which Gov NJ. M Nicely was given
an overwhelming" majority.
During the campaign, Senator
Kilgore asserted, one of the principal
issues was Mr.. Neely's statement
that if elected Governor he would
resign from the Senate and name
his own successor.
Supporters of Clarence Martin,
nominee of former Gov. Homer A.
Holt, on the other hand, argued that
seating of Mr. Roster would be con-
trary TO public policy. Senator
Chandler. Democrat, of Kentucky.
leading the fight for Mr.. Martin,
asserted: 1T would not be right for
one man to control two Offices when
he can't hold two"
Debate which started yesterday on
the Senate floor was concentrated
to a great extent on whether Mr..
Nicely or Mr.. Holt was Governor at
the instant the Senate vacancy oc-
Cured
Backers of Mr.. Roster insisted that
no interval existed between Mr..
NeeIys resignation from the Senate
and induction as Governor last jan
uary.
But Mr. Martins supporters re-
piled that it would have been i'm
possible for Mr. Nicely simultaneously
to divest himself of Office as Senator
and become Governor. An interval
and Senate vacancy, they argued
had to exist and in that time Mr..
Holt, as retiring Governor, was en-
powered by State law to fill the
