OQenlAg leaQs Two OF heartS.
The doctrine, Always return your
partners lead. was propounded II
mot exclusively for the benefit OF
the blind then surely for those whose
vision is at least slightly impaired.
But when one is In full possession
OF the sense Of sight, not TO mem
ftion his faculty for logical deduc-
Ition, he is at liberty to depart from
Ian manner Of canned advice" IN
Idesd, many times q cool business
sense makes 1t clear that a shift to
some other suit Is mandatory and
no special reverence should be mani
tested towards q lead that after all
was selected In the dark. Had East
followed the line of least resistance
and woedenly returned his partners
lead South would have romped OF
with his contract.
The final contract was sound
enough. though 1t was close point
whether or not North should have
rebid the diamonds as q mild warn
| Ing rather than raise the no-trump.
However, he felt that the king of
clubs was an almost certain entry
and that the diamond suit had
very good prospect of tablishment
so that he chose the more aggres-
sive course.
| West was reluctant to open a club
from his tenace position for fear of
losing trick against a contract that
he had high hopes of defeating be-
cause of his defensive spade holding.
In this he was right. He chose in
stead to make the noncommittal
lead Of the'two of hearts. Dummy
played low and the queen forced the
ace. A low diamond play brought
forth the jacket, the queen and this
ace. Had East thoughtlessly re-
turned the king and another heart,
declarer would have won with the
ten and cleared the diamond suit in
time to make nine tricks. But East
had put on his thinking cap at
the opening lead. When declarer
played low from dummy and then
won with the ace, he marked him
self with the 10 of hearts, because
If he had not held that card
1t would have been obligatory for
him to play the jack from dummy
lin the hope that the lead had been
from the king-queen.
On this line of reasoning East
could count nine tricks for declarer
on the assumption that he held both
the ace of spades and the ace Of
clubs. In order to defeat the con-
tract, some spade tricks would have
to be cashed before his second dia-
mond stopper was dislodged. He,
therefore, shifted to a spade. De-
clarer took the single finesse and
when 1t lost to Vests king, a heart
was continued, East won with the
king and drove out the 10 of hearts
so that the setting trick was cashed
with the nine when his diamond
trick was yielded to him. East could
have defeated the contract more Sc
verely by leading another spade, but
he took no chances on declarer hav-
ing the jack Of spades and played
safe for a one-trick set.

The Chicago Trades and Labor
Assembly, organized in 1881 and
renamed the Chicago Federation
of Labor in 1896, pioneered in
many of labor's earliest political
and economic campaigns. There
were many minor campaigns be-
fore, but among the most impor-
tant was leadership taken in 1920
to form the Farmer-Labor party
which ran the elder Robert La
toilette for president on an indie
pendent slate in 1924.
In 1886 the Chicago Federation
joined with the newly organized
CLIO to meet the political attack
against the late President Roose-
welt and thus helped his re-elec-
ton.
THE Chicago Federation was
founded after the development of
the American labor movement
from the period of the old Molly
Maguires into the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
A major contribution of the
Chicago labor movement was, the
leadership of its unions-of all
affiliations-in the successful fight
for the eight-hour day. There was
the, Haymarket massacre of 1885
:. the national railroad strike
which spread from Chicago
throughout the nation with the
word being passed along from New
York to Pittsburgh and on down
the line the execution of
the Haymarket martyrs the
eventual heroism of Chicago's
Governor Altgeld, a former Sec
ton hand himself, in fighting for
the pardoning of some of the mar
tyrs and his subsequent Leadership
in attempting to make the Demo-
cratic party a party of the people.
ON JULY 2e of 1877, the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad announced
a 10 per cent cut in all wages
exceeding dollar a day. The
railroad strike spread against this
action and President Rutherford
B. Hayes called in federal troops.
