Der the stirring finish Of that race
The horse called The Shamrock
broke fast into the stretch and
made up ground on Gallahadion.
They were neck and neck sc
yards from the finish line.
Then the big sorrel with tht
four white stockings, showed his
nose and neck and withers In front
of Gallahahon as they crossed the
wire.
But as they led the sorrell horse
into the magic circle and prepared
to put the floral tribute in place,
there was a sudden commotion on
the track. A small man in sweat
wilted eivvies appeared.
With one hand he led the exact
duplicate of the horse called The
Shamrock. With the other he
led, by the ear, a small Negro

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
That afternoon, as the beauty
and chiva1ry OF southern Califor-
MIA gathered for the running Of
81 the Del Mar Handicap, quite a
few persons faced disaster II The
Shamrock entered and won the
big race.
Millicent and Georgine, assured
by Voice Garvey OF the genuine
ness OF The Shamrock's disap-
pearance, had bet their all on
Gsllahadion, the ruling favorite.
Loyal TO Tim and Benny-at
least to the extent of not wanting
them TO get in bad with their
shipmates-they had passed the
word to Chief Mulcahy that
money bet on The Shamrock
would be money wasted.
Chief Mulcahy, arriving with a
contingent Of sailors. had let 1t
be known that he was playing
Gallahadion.
But The Shamrock had not
been scratched.
Discussing The matter by the
grandstand fence. Millicent and
Georgine stood pat.
Even II they have found
Shamrock" Georgine said. hell

he's a cinch TO lose"
SAME THEORY
Yeon1an Webster was holding
forth on the same theory among
the u. S. S. Trimble gang.
"The horse IL no bet today,
boys. have IL straight from
Tim and Benny's jock that no
body can find Shamrock nr Tim
and Benny, either. They sus-
poet foul play by Chicago
gangsters." - -='s,-===
Chief Muleahy took grim
chew Of tobacco.
"Agh there'd better be no

Then came the astounding an

The race track crowd reacted
true TO form. A great hubbub OF

Hearings Start Soon
On Measure 10 Curb
Defense Strikes
Bill Bors Closed Shop
Negotiations at Plants
Having No Such Poets
BY the Associated Press.

Hy the Associated Press.
Chairman Vinson said today the
House Naval Affairs Committee
would start hearings the first week
in April on bill to give statutory
authority to President Roosevelt's
new National Defense Mediation
Board and to curb strikes in plants
working on naval contracts.
The Georgian said the measure.
a revision of one he introduced early
this year to provide for cooling
off" period before strikes could be
called in naval contractors plants,
would prevent the negotiation of
"closed-shop" agreements in plants
where they did not previously exist.
The bill deals with the closed
shop in the same manner as that
question was dealt with by the Ma
tional War Labor Board during the
World War" Representative Vinson
said in statement. Existing
closed-shop agreements, and Subse-
quent closed-shop agreements, with
the same labor organization are not
disturbed, but it is provided that
during the existing emergency naval
contractors may not enter into
closed-shop agreements other than
those just described"
On the question of strikes, the bill
would require both workers and en-
ployers to attempt settlements of
controversies by conference, utiliz-
ing the Federal Cancellation Service
if necessary, and to refer the dis
pute to the new Mediation Board
if unsettled within 10 days. The
board would have 20 days in which
to investigate and make public its
findings before a strike could be
called.
Although the legislation is re-
stricted in its present form to naval
contractors, Mr. Vinson said that,
once his committee had reported it
to the House. it could be broadened
to cover the entire national defense
program.

Trial Justice G. F. Conway, one

ninety per cent of the people

selling their property. 1t would be
horrible thing for the county"
Mr.. Conway said patriotism was
not involved in the matter. If the
Caroline area were the only one the
Army could use, the citizens would
not object, he asserted.
"But there are other sections of
