AUTO DESTROYED
BY FIRE SUNDAY

A fire which destroyed a parked
car in the rear of the City Cafe
early Sunday morning started ap-
parently from a cigaret which was
left burning inside of the auto.
Members of Juneau Volunteer
Fire Department answered the call
but by the time they reached the
scene, the interior of the auto was
blazing and the flames had burned
through the roof. The fire was put
out only after it had damaged the
auto beyond repair.

CAUTION AGAINST
FOREST FIRES IN
THIS VICINITY

Forest Service officials o d y
cautioned residents of this area
to be careful with cigarets and fires
in the woods, since the rain last
week failed to remove the fire haz-
ard.
A small fire was started near
the beach at AUX Bay yesterday,
the Forest Service reported, but
the blaze was brought under con-
troll in short time. 1t is believed
the fire was started by a carelessly
discarded cigaret.

he's more than bodyguard-a spy

Lee said nothing, but her eyes
clouded. Sounds from the kitchen
now ceased.
"Well, she's through for the day."
Curt said. "We can make certain.
I can watch her leave from the
bedroom-it's dark. You keep on
talking"
The back door closed and steps
descended to the ground. The bam-
boo drops were down all around
the living room so that no one out
side could see what went on within.
Curt left the room. Lee didn't snick-
er this time, but there was the hint
of smile in her voice as she spoke
up.
"Well, if I could get a date for a
dance the first time I talked to thin
air, perhaps this time I can get
you started on that collection Of
orchids for me. After all, you prom
ised :"
At the bedroom window Curt first
used only his ears. He listened to
the pad of footsteps going to the
gate, the normal click of the latch.
Presently came a rustic of shrub
berry and he knew his guess was cor
rect. There could be no doubt.
The rattan screen at the bedroom
window was down. In lifting it aside
to peer out, Curt made the slightest
of sounds. Instantly his straining
eyes caught a flicker of shadow Slip
ping into solid darkness around the
corner of the house. Quickly fol-
lowed the click of the gate latch

mistakably the gate latch. He
frowned.
'It was her, all right" he told
Lee as he returned to the porch.
After pause, determinedly, Lee,
I've got to know why Mitch was
holding up the work. I won't rest
easy until I know what his trouble
was here. Montaya's the key to it.
And who within reach of us is likely
to know all about Montaya, including
his cute remarks as baby?"
"Mr. Moore" Lee said quickly.
"Right. And Old Man Moore
doesn't give readily. Nevertheless,
tomorrow :"
Curt sank back and blew rings to
the ceiling. He had plans to per-
feet. Lee watched from troubled
eyes, but said nothing. Hadn't she
told him she was no sugar-and-water
wife?
On the morrow the weather held
hot, and coupled with the ever-pres-
ent Emilio, it didn't improve Curtis
disposition. It was midmorning
when Curt and his shadow reached
Tempujo for their trip upriver. By
phone from San Alejo Curt had or
dered the launch fueled and ready.
He intended wasting no time here.
But the need of map or two took
him first to his office.
AS he was about to turn into it a
figure rose from under palm and
Curt was accosted by one of the
most disreputable looking tramps
he'd yet seen in the tropics. An
American, clearly, but the many
days growth of beard, the filthy
rags he wore, effectively concealed
what kind of man this was.
"Mr. Curtis, sir?" in a cringing
voice.
eyes," Curt answered shortly. He
hated subservience in a man.
''My name is Collins, sir. I'm
looking for work"
Curt eyed the man. The eyes
were bloodshot and told unquestion-
ably of hunger-real hunger.
"Well?"
"I'm a good transitman, sir, and
I'm good on gas engines or Diesels.
I heard you need men,"
Curt stood silent. There were
plenty of tropical tramps in these
quarters - drunken, irresponsible
men, all of them fugitives, if not
from the law. then from themselves.

CAPITAL AND LABOR
ESSENTIAL TO INDUSTRY
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

CAPITAL AND LABOR !
ESSENTIAL TO INDUSTRY
SOME YEARS AGO was in At
lanta during the annual convention
of the International Union of Stereo-
typers and Electrotypers. The most
important action taken at that union
meeting was the passage of resolu-
tions demanding an increase In pay
and a decrease in the number or
working hours.
Quite accidentally, I met the pres
ident of the union and asked if his
organization was attempting to put
the cost of the product so high that
people could not use it and so put
the employers out of business, and
themselves out of jobs.
"What labor, all labor, including
ourselves, wants." he said, sis a
recognized place in industry. We
want to be something more than a
hired man, or a purchased ma
chine. We want to be partner in
industry. Our difficulty is an in
ability to put such desire into
words that would not be misinter-
preted. By asking for more mon
ey and less hours, we hope to in
duce the employers to propose a
partnership on practical lines"
That kind of a program is gradu-
ally being worked out. Two of the
large, and several small railroad
systems of the country are today
utilizing the brains as well as the
muscles of labor. At least one of
the large meat packing concerns is
doing much the same thing. In
these cases, capital is recognizing
labor as a partner in industry. In
time, and it will not be many years,
that will come generally.

"closed shop" will not. But capital
must realize that it must be a part
nership, not paternalism.
