T. Bynum, state bank commissioner, were removed from office tonight by Governor J. C. Walton. Dr. Bynum's administration has been "entirely unsatisfactory," the executive declared in a communication to the bank commissioner. No explanation was given of Blake's removal. Blake in Revolt It was understood, however, that the executive counsellor had broken with Governor Walton over the latter's recent policies, particularly with regard to his military activities against the Ku Klux Klan. Blake told the Associated Press he would go before a special investigator committee appointed by the lower house of the state legislature to inquire into impeachment charges against the governor. He declined to make known his purpose and likewise would make no statement as to his removal. He declared he would "have something to say tomorrow." Mr. Bynum was before the legislative investigator, member of the family told the Associated Press, when an effort was made to locate him for a statement. In Conference All Day. The removal orders were issued early this evening after an all-day conference at the governor's office participated in by Blake, the governor and numerous of the latter's political advisors. It was not known whether Bank Commissioner Bynum was one of the confertees. The ouster order for Dr. Bynum, addressed to the bank commissioner, said: "This is to notify you that you are removed from the office of bank commission of the state of Oklahoma, effective this date, October 12, 1923. "My reasons for this action are principally as follows: First, that your administration of that office has been entirely unsatisfactory; and second, I do not believe that my administration of the duties of my office can be effectual unless my appointees are of improved impulses of office, which is one of the highest, are in harmony with my purposes and loyal to my policies. Blake's removal was directed in an executive order to the attorney general, which said: "This is to advise you that I will not need the services of Aldridge Blake in connection with the governor's office and duties any further, and I most respectfully request that he be relieved from any further duties in this respect. "Respectfully, (Signed) "J. C. Walton, Governor." (Signed) J. C. Walton, Governor Blake, who came here from Muskogee, took a leading part in Governor Walton's campaign for election on the Democratic ticket last November. He took office, Blake went with him as his secretary, and a few months later, when Dr Bynum, then executive counsellor, was appointed bank commissioner, he was made counsellor. OHIO FEDERATION BACKS DYER BILL OHIO FEDERATION BACKS DYER BILL Votes to Back Reintroduction of Bill in Next Session of Congress New York, Oct. 5.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, has received word through Harry E. Davis, member of the Ohio legislature, that the Ohio Federation of Labor has gone on record in favor of the Dyer anti-lynching bill. At the recent meeting of the Ohio federation, E. J. Maxwell, colored delegate of the Cleveland Building Laborers, told the laboring men of the effect of lynching and oppression in the South, in bringing about the heavy northward migration with its consequent flooding of the labor market and sharp competition for jobs. Thereupon the federation voted to back the re-introduction of the Dyer anti-lynching bill by Representative Dyer in the next congress. EDITORIAL WHAT YOU GET BACK.

KITTIE TERRILL SUCCUMBS TO ILLNESS Every man who gives to a cause or invests in an enterprise wants to know what he is going to get in return for his money. The annual campaign for the Community Chest of St. Paul is approaching and quite naturally colored people as well as white are asking what they are to get in return for the money they subscribe to the Chest. We will let the dailies and the members of the Chest organization explain in general what the whole city will receive in dividends, but we want to point out specifically what the colored contributor will get back. In the Chest there are three colored organizations who have been allotted the following budgets: Urban league, $4,881; Y. W. C. A. center, $2,705; and Crispus Attucks home, $1,500—a total of $9,086. This much of the $700,000 asked by the Chest goes directly to colored organizations, officered by colored staffs. All of them are deserving well-managed institutions. Besides this direct contribution from the Chest to colored organizations working among and for colored people, there is the work done by white organizations in the Chest. The Salvation Army Rescue home is now caring for 16 unfortunate colored girls. The Gospel Mission home has cared for 21 discouraged and disconsolate colored girls during the past year. Forty colored families are at present being cared for by the United Charities, which has furnished food, fuel and sometimes shelter for these families. The Baby Welfare association gave care to 33 colored families, and food and medical attention to over 55 colored babies. That is what you get back from the Community Chest. Nine thousand dollars goes directly to colored organizations and other thousands, allotted to white organizations, is spent in saving and aiding colored babies, colored girls, and colored families. When some tongue-wag tells you that you "don't get nothing" cut of the Chest, remember these facts. When some sleek, well-fed, member of colored "society" tells you that there are no charity cases among colored people, remember these facts. Have a heart! MRS.

Oct. 13.—President Coddie has issued a proclamation calling for observance of the week beginning November 18, as National Educational Week. "Every American citizen," the President said, "is entitled to a liberal education. Without this there is no guarantee for the permanence of free institutions, no hope of perpetuating self-government. Despotism finds its chief import - ignorance. Knowledge and wisdom are in hand." The colored citizens are in hearty accord with the views and purposes of the President, and Education Week will be generally observed by them.

Kansas City, Kan., Oct. 12.—Marcus Garvey, speaking here Sunday afternoon, told 400 auditors that the U. N. I. A. believed in the equitable distribution of the earth for all mankind, black, brown, red, yellow and white. "Somebody is crazy if they think that they can keep down forever the rising aspirations of 400 millions of colored people in this world!" the speaker declared. "This world was made for one-half the people, but for all the people. The Japanese has his, the Chinese has his, the Anglo-American has his, and we want ours." The speaker cautioned against expecting too much from the white man and said that the colored people must get power—education, culture, money, property and a government before they could bargain with the white man. Only a casual mention of his recent imprisonment in the Tombs was made by the speaker. "All the great men of history have been in jail," he declared. Mr. Garvey, who is accompanied by his wife and secretaries, is on a lecture tour across the country. Colored Babies Used as Alligator Bait in Florida The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, New York city, today made public the contents of a dispatch printed in the Lousville (Ky.) Herald of September 23, stating that colored babies were being used as alligator bait in the vicinity of Chipley, Fla. The colored babies are allowed to play in shallow water, with expert riflemen concealed nearby. When the alligator approaches his prey he is said to be shot by the riflemen. The dispatch states that "Florida alligator hunters do not ever miss their targets." The price reported as being paid colored mothers for the use of their babies as alligator hait, is said to be two dollars. CONSTITUTION SAYS VOTERS MUST BE WHITE Ohio is the only state in the Union with a constitution that says that all voters must be white. That constitution, today, says that to be a voter one must be a "white male citizen of the United States of the age of twenty-one years." This restriction, of course, is nullified by the United States Constitution, which, in Article XV, the amendment adopted in 1870, grants equal rights of suffrage. The last effort to remove the word "white" from the State Constitution was unsuccessfully made in 1912, when forty-two amendments were submitted. The one eliminating the word "white" was defeated by a vote of 265.693 to 242.735.

More than 1,600 men and women of the city have volunteered their services to the Community Chest for the solicitation of these funds. These men and women will work through the entire week. Their work, it is pointed out, is their civic contribution to the advancement of the city's social welfare. "Have a Heart" Is Slogan. "Have a Heart," is the slogan that has impressed itself visibly, in picture and in legend form. And the Chest's workers, all volunteers, bring this slogan as their message this week to every man, woman and child in the city. The Community Chest campaign takes the place of 53 individual agencies. On that account, it is pointed out by Chest officials, an individual contribution, except it is specifically designated, must be divided 53 ways. This Community Chest campaign is responsible as well as an individual contribution. Maybury, thur E. Nelson told the campaign workers, "and this city as a whole and its citizens as individuals are not going to shirk their responsibilities. St. Paul will 'have a heart.'" he said. Begin Work Monday. Solicitors, both men and women who have volunteered for the work, will be abroad in all parts of the city Monday morning. The places of businesses principally will be solicited, and only in a few isolated instances will a house to house canvass for funds take place. Sunday afternoon at Pilgrim Baptist Church, a meeting will be held in the interest of the drive. Several speakers of prominence are on the program. Mr. S. E. Hall, chairman of division "G" and Mr. E. A. Carter, executive secretary of the Urban League are two of the principal speakers. ASK INVESTIGATION OF MAN'S DISAPPEARANCE Kidnaping Thought To Be Result of Malicious Story of Florida Woman New York, Oct. 11. — Kidnaping and the subsequent disappearance of a reputable colored citizen of Miami, Fla., on the night of June 27 of this year, is reported to Governor Cary Hardee of Florida, in a letter sent today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, New York city, asking him to investigate. The kidnaped man, who has not been heard from since his disappearance, Stone Isaac my name, is said to have been called for by two men representing themselves as officers of the law. The letter from the Advancement Association to the Florida governor, follows: N. A. A. C. P. Urges Probe. "Investigators report to us the kidnaping of a respectable colored citizen of Miami, Fla., named Stone Isaac, by two men representing themselves as officers of the law, on the night of June 27, since when nothing has been heard of him. Woman Cause of Trouble. "We are informed by competent and trustworthy persons that a comma who had been unsuccessful in court action has mistaken Stone Isaac maliciously spread the false report in Homestead, Fla., that Mr. Isaac was organizing a colored Klu Klu Klan to kill the white people. She is also said to have reported to the police that he had thirty high-powered rifles in his home. The police on investigation found this report to be untrue. But the man was subsequently kidnapped and has not been heard of since. Asks State Aid. "May we ask that you as governor of Florida investigate the facts set forth and take appropriate action to apprehend and prosecute the kidnappers, and possibly the murderers, of Stone Isaac, if the facts are as reported to this Association? We stand ready to co-operate with you in any way that you may think feasible." HISTORICAL SOCIETY SURDAY.

C., Oct. 6.—At 10:15 today the delegation chosen at the 16th annual meeting of the National Equal Rights League held in the Holy Trinity Baptist church, Brooklyn, where Rev. T. J. Moppins of St. Louis was elected president in a strong convention, to lay before the President the redress program of the Race, was received at the White House. Secretary Slemp introduced Maurice W. Spencer, national treasurer, citizen of Delaware, to President Coolidge and he introduced the delegation consisting of Rev. L. C. Newby of Connecticut, Rev. C. C. M. Moore of Missouri, J. L. Neill, Esq., national recording secretary of District of Columbia, Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, second vice president of New York, Mrs. W. O. Taylor of Massachusetts, Mrs. T. S. Harten of New York, J. Simon Scott of Connecticut, H. R. Adams of Pennsylvania, Rev. Thomas S. Harten, national organizer of New York, William Monroe Trotter of Massachusetts, Rev. Geo. Frazier Miller, national president at large of New York and Isaac H. Nutter, Esq., of New Jersey. The President shook hands cordially and greeted the Massachusetts delegation as home state acquaintances. He stood in front of his desk while the delegates stood in a wide circle about him. "Petition Query" Read Mr. Trotter was called on and read the "Petition Query" in conversational tone. It named lynching, Southern congressional representation, unreduced despite, disfranchisement, Jim Crow cars, denial of entry to *West Point*, Citizens Military Training Corps, militia segregation, the mans-inclusion of unified units in army divisions, denial of entry to Amapolis or to any class in the navy except as coal passers, coal trimmers, oilers and the mess department. It asked pardon for the 24th Infantry prisoners and for an all-colored staff at the Colored Veterans' hospital, for refusal to recognize Mexico unless there be no color immigration, and for abolition of the immigration of service employees at the national capitol. An answer by the President was asked to each section. Spokesman Makes Plea. The argument and plea by Rev. Thomas S. Harten, spoken informally represented that an expression to the race was needed because it did not rightly understand the new Chief Executive, on account of which many of the race had left the Republican party, instancing, with Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, which he himself had until a long personal talk Friday with Mr. Slemp. Referring to Mr. Coolidge's record in Massachusetts, and to the well known oppressions of the Race, Rev. Harten, declaring the Race were praying as they awaited the President's attitude, quoting scripture on "speak now or perish" and on asking bread and not giving a stone, urged protection and for redress of the grave wrongs. Rev. G. W. Frazier Miller then said the delegates were ready to hear the President. The President's Reply. Then Mr. Spencer nodded to the President who spoke deliberately and at length. After urging the Race to realize others also had troubles, to gain hope from the Race's own wonderful progress. Mr. Coolidge stated that he would not change from his stand in Massachusetts, that he was glad the delegation had come to get well acquainted, that the government would dispense justice, that it would, as far as a government could, protect the race against injustice and position, to recognize the Race for political appointment when it was possible to do so. He said he wanted the Race to assist the government in doing this, and assured that he was with the Race in its stand for fair treatment. Itaac H. Nutter, Esq., expressed appreciation and asked the President to make as a public address some time his statement. He delegated Mr. Nutter and the committee to do this. When Mr. Trotter asked whether the President would declare publicly for the Dyer bill, etc., he replied that his statement showed where he stood on all such issues. He said that the president boded well in view of the character, the general position taken in the President's response. Phone Cedar 5649 J. Q.

Clark .....Advertising Manager Advertising Rates on Application PRESIDENT COOLIDGE AND LYNCHING (From The New York News.) The popularity of President Coolidge with the colored voters of the country in 1924 is going to depend in large measure upon his success in getting Congress to pass an antilynching bill during the coming Congress. The South is now in the slough of her own despond. As the Florida Governor recently said, the South cannot stop lynching if it would. The native-born white Southerner knows no law, only force and violence in his attitude toward the black. Four-fifths of the white South—rich and poor alike—are descendants of lynchers, burners at the stake and for generations back slave-driving, murdering persecutors of colored men and women. It is just as reasonable to suppose that these folk, governors, sheriffs, marshals, butchers, bakers and candlestick makers, will observe law and justice toward their black neighbors as it is to expect hyenas to live in graveyards and not devour the corpses of the helpless dead. It is in the blood and nature of the beast. When the Federal Government, as a matter of saving the wreck of the republic, as a matter of thwarting the destruction of the patriotism and the lives of the nation's black soldiers, as a matter of anticipating the time when the outraged black race has been goaded to seek self-preservation with a torch in one hand and the sword in the other—when then the Federal Government passes and enforces without fear or favor a law punishing every lyncher as a murderer and a traitor to the nation—then lynching will cease. When the Federal Government, as a matter of national defense in behalf of its loyal defenders, uses one-tenth the effort, exerts one tite the force, invokes one-hundredth part of the law to enforce the Constitution and secure a republican form of government in every State of the Union as it does now to punish the Bolsheviks, then lynching will end. The cure for lynching is the enforcement of a Federal anti-lynching law. SAY HOOCH PLACES HAVE SUCCEEDED.

THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE A good custom is better than a law—Euripides. OUR friends are beginning to travel again. Now it is more like old times, and if our friends go abroad they go with lighter hearts and with more baggage. Therefore it is quite the thing to give them little gifts and, if they want us to, to see them off. Be sure, though, that you are wanted. Nothing is more embarrassing than to arrive unexpectedly on the deck of a steamer to find you surrounded by an invited party of which you are not a member. So don't go unless you are quite certain that you are wanted, both for your sake and for the sake of the traveler. As for the gifts you send, be sure that they are really desirable, and not merely something that will fill up the steamer trunk and bags. If you know of some traveling accessory of which your friend stands in need, that is a good choice. A book is never amiss because after it is read it can be left on shipboard if it is in the way. Candy, although it is a conventional present, and one of the few things that a man is supposed to give to a woman, is nevertheless not a very good choice. You can enjoy ocean travel are particularly careful not to indulge in sweets. Flowers, another of the conventional gifts of men to women, are always perfectly good taste. However, they are sometimes in the way in the stateroom. If you know that anyone dislikes flowers on the steamer don't send them. As in all other cases where gifts are concerned a man may send flowers, candy or books to a woman. Books in this case include magazines, and sometimes half a dozen current magazines are as welcome a gift as anyone could receive. They provide just the information needed on shipboard and can be discarded without a qualm when their reader is through with them. © by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) --- DO YOU think of me sometimes, you who went On an alien path ere our love grew cold? Out in the spaces where you have won To the heights that you dreamed of, have you done Such deeds as have made you more content Than you were in our love of old? Do you think of me sometimes, where you are, And wish you had held to the other way? Those high-flung trails—are they all you crave? Do they yield the sweetness our young love gave? You fastened your wagon to a star— Does it brighten your every day? Oh! I warm my heart by that youth- time fire When the breath of the years grows chill; And always I wonder if you recall That white-hot flame, when the shadows fall— Do the heights suffice for your soul's desire? Do they warm like our first love's thrill? Do you think of me sometimes, dear, out, there. Where the trails lead high and you lensed to go? I could not forget if I fried!

HALL The Spirit PRODIGAL RETURNS BY ADELAIDE R. KEMP (© 1923, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) MARTHA slid the chicken into the oven and closed the door. Through the window she could see the orchid and a bloom with the misty white oil of apple. They put bresent surged in her breast. "Oh," she thought, rebelliously, "it isn't fair. Ann always gets the best, never mind what she does." For five years, since Ann had left the old farm for the lure of the city, Martha had struggled to keep the worry and tears from her mother's eyes. And tomorrow Ann was coming. She had written a sad letter. Mother flung herself into father's arms after reading it, tears of joy streaming down her wrinkled face. They must "red" up the big front room with the windows facing the sea. Ann had always loved the view from there. "She's been cooped up in a little hall bedroom no bigger than our partry," mother had told them, "and she's half sick and so anxious to get back." Martha recalled Ann's wild-rose beauty moodly. She felt that the past five years of overwork and worry had faded whatever claim she might have had herself to pretreats. She said she might night before Bruce Carrington left for college. They had walked down through the old orchard, now full of fragrant, haunting memories. Last month he had come back to take his father's practice, and the old friendship had been renewed. Ann must have the best. Perhaps she would find Bruce to her liking, also. To Martha's weary mind came some old remembered words: "Lo, these women do I serve thee, neither transgressions nor their commandment." It seemed as if all her toll and self-sacrifice had been taken as a matter of course. When Ann stepped from the train the night after morning Martha, at the sight of her white face and shadowed eyes, suddenly forgot everything but deep sisterly affection and plty. In the big front room she made Ann comfortable. "We'll have Bruce over in the morning to see you," she said with a slight flush on her fair cheeks. "You know he's our doctor, now." "Oh, Martha," Ann exclaimed, tremulously, "it's so good to get home again. I wish you'd sleep in here with me." Martha remembered letters from Ann the previous year—letters full of Richard Gordan. Young Doctor Carrington found Ann's condition one of nerves and lack of nourishment, which good air and food would soon improve. He made many nonprofessional visits during the mild spring evenings, and Martha often stole quiet away and left them on the plaza. One bright June morning when Bruce drove up to the house in his big car and called out cheerly, "Come on girls, I have to go over to Cross Corners, and its a dandy day for a long drive," Martha answered, "Can't be done, Bruce. I promised Dad I make him some crullers, but it just what Ann needs." She saw them start off down the long, white road, and there was a dull pain in her breast. Perhaps today's sunshine would bring its golden beauty to Ann's heart. She was not home when they returned, she having gone for the mail. So absorbed was she by the thick letter for Ann, postmarked Cleveland, that for the time being she forgot her own sorrow. She hurried up to the big front room and lapped light into her white's lap. Ann went suddenly her envelopes without a word, tore open the envelopes and hungrily absorbed its contents. When she had finished she handed the open pages to Martha and threw herself on the bed. Martha's started eyes read: "Dear Little Wife of Mine: "I shall be with you nearly as soon as this letter, as I leave here on the morning train. I have been in the hospital, too ill to know anything for days. I will tell you all about it when I see you. I have landed the job I went after, and oh, my dear, we will be so happy out here." Martha did not turn the page. She was too stunned to go on. Suddenly Ann came and hid her face on her sister's shoulder. "Martha, I've been suffering terribly. When Dick and I were married we planned to come here for our honey-moon, but the very next day his firm failed. He was too proud to come then, and went out to Cleveland, where he had the promise of a position. And I've never heard a word all these weeks." Later, downstairs, Martha had her reward. "Oh, Martha," her mother whispered, "I'm so thankful you'll never go so far away from us." Martha slipped unnoticed out into the twilight and down to the old orchard. The moon was just coming up out of the bay and making a silver path across it. Suddenly she saw Bruce coming. "You're always running away from me, Martha," he said quietly. "But you can't this time." He drew her close to him. Neither spoke for a few moments. Then Bruce beant and kissed her lip tenderly. "Oh, gosh!" she whispered, "you have given the prodigal daughter all but one thing, and that is my heart. No one can ever have that but you, Martha." TALKED LIKE NORTHERN MAN; ALMOST LYNCHED Pin Bluff, Ark., Sept. 27—Having in his possession clippings which showed that he had been delivering lectures in Louisiana and Mississippi, urging colored people to stay in the South is all that saved J. W. White, a colored visitor, from a severe flogging by whites at Crossett, Ark., re NEW CHILD LABOR BILL EXPECTED Gompers Sees President and Says He Seems in Sympathy With the Movement. IT'S BACKED BY THE A. F. OF L. First Effort in the New Congress Probably Will Be to Secure Passage of Resolution Providing for Constitutional Amendment. Revival of agitation for legislation to restrict child labor in the United States is certain to come with the opening of the next congress and President Coolidge is believed to be in thorough sympathy with the movement, behind which the American Federation of Labor already has placed its resources. Samuel Gompers, president of the labor federation, discussed the subject with President Coolidge at the White House, incidentally paving the way for further conferences on legislation which labor will urge upon congress. Following his talk with the President, Mr. Gompers said he had found the Chief Executive in a receptive mood with respect to the need for child labor restrictive measures and entirely in sympathy with all efforts to bring about legislation which will stand the test of the courts. The President pointed out to the labor leader that his own state, Massachusetts, had enacted legislation to restrict child labor and that he, while engaged in that by state, had signed the 48-hour-a-week law. Mr. Gompers called attention to the fact that since the last child-labor law had been declared unconstitutional there has been an increase of 36 per cent in the number of children employed in United States industries. Senator Medill McCormick is deeply interested in new child-labor legislation and sought to have a constitutional provision enacted at the last congress, but it was lost in the press of legislation toward the close of the session. He is expected to renew his efforts in the new congress. Mr. Gompers informed the President of the efforts that have been under way to stir up agitation for child-labor legislation in the recent past. Representatives of eighteen national organizations of women interested in the restriction of child labor, he said, had asked the American federation and formed a national conference on child labor. They had been informed by expert counsel, he said, that in view of the Supreme court's decision, a constitutional amendment will be necessary before any adequate restrictive legislation can be enacted which would withstand judicial scrutiny. It is probable that the first effort to be made by child labor champions in congress will be to get through a resolution providing for a constitutional amendment. This, it is recognized, will mean a long, hard fight with the subsequent ratification necessary by the legislatures of the states, but they believe it will be wise to let the master take such a course, in order that legislation, when finally enacted, will be enduring. GENERAL LABOR NOTES New York's daily papers were crippled by an unauthorized strike of their pressman. George Berry, international president of the pressman's union, ordered the men back to work, declaring their strike illegal, and the formation of a new local union was begun. Peter E. Joy, ex-treasurer of district lodge No. 8 of the International Brotherhood of Boiler Makers, Erie system, was arrested in Huntington, Ind., charged with embezzling $384 of the union's funds. The affidavit was signed by John A. Marvin of Binghamton, N. Y., general chairman of the boiler makers' union. There has been unprecedented demand for workers recently in Seattle, according to J. H. Shields, superintendent of the city employment office. He was asked to provide 2,401 male workers and 478 female workers. The demand from logging camps and other industries of the Northwest keeps well ahead of the supply, he said. Numerous strikes and repeated interruptions to production in the shoe trade have accounted for the moving of a number of New England shoe factories to cities not so well known as shoe centers. The A. W. Herrick shoe company of Haverhill, Mass., will transfer its plants to Dover, N. H. The George Webber shoe interests have transferred machinery from Haverhill to Athol, Mass., while the Ground Gripper Shoe company will remove from Lynn to Roxbury. An apparent increase of 38.6 per cent in child labor over the corresponding period last year is shown in statistics made public by the children's bureau of the Department of Labor, covering the first six months of the current year in thirty selected cities. The survey is based on the number of minors between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years who received first working permits. The California State Federation of Labor held its twenty-fourth annual convention in Stockton. About 400 delegates attended. cently. Five white men had taken White-five miles west of Crossness, to either lynch of fog him because he was believed to be a labor agent, and that he had enified many colored people to go North.

When his captors became convinced that he was "on their side of the fence" they brought him back to HERSELF BY MYRA ALICE L. DAVIES (© 1983, by McClure Newpaper Syndicate). THERE was not a girl in Broxton who, apparently, was more alone than Jane Daniels. She lived alone in one gray little hotel room—a country hotel room; she worked in Kent's general merchandise store—the only one in the sleepy, aloof old village—at the hardware counter, and, whenever she went anywhere, she always went alone. Nobody, evidently, was interested enough to find out if any sort of party invitation would be accepted by the little woman with the wan face and pale hair and eyes. That was partly habit, too, and a habit that stuck till the night of the big grange social—public invited—when, in the first place, the frantic chairman of the flower committee ran plumb into Jane as she came from the hardware department. The grange had not for nothing put Mrs. Leonard Kent on that flower committee. Determination had Mrs. Leonard, and backbone. If every member of the committee had failed her at five o'clock in the afternoon, when there were still fifteen begonias to be collected from the neighbors, and a bank of flowers and mail to add to conceal the old stove, yet there was some way out. That was Mrs. Leonard Kent, wife of the leading citizen, mother of Thomas, Jr., just home from college. To tell the truth, Mrs. Leonard Kent even don't look at Jane. She merely sensed the fact that a human being was in front of her, and that the decorations for the hall were not. It was the matter of two minutes to explain the situation. "Jane," to help to help," trembled the sweet, surprised voice. "I'll promise to have every begonia there, and the bank of daisies made. Some of the school children will help, I know, and—" Then Mrs. Kent did see that this was the quiet little lady in her husband's store, who always looked as if she didn't know which way to turn. "Oh," said Mrs. Leonard, grimly, "probably I can get somebody else. Capable hands are quite necessary, you know. Maybe my son, after he's through talking with his father. You needn't bother—" But Jane Daniels was already on her way to borrow the begonias, her heart singing a song of being needed it had not sung since her father was living and she made his bread and mended his socks. Jane beamed so gloriously that hardy a begonia-lender that late June recognized her as the sedate, black-fronted one who sat in the back at church, and certainly not the faint-hearted little lady whose hands always trembled for fear she hadn't counted out the right number of screws at the store. Jane Daniels put a daly in her hair that evening, and a soft white collar on her black volle. It was a beautiful social, everybody sociable, glad to see everybody else, everybody asking why there weren't more of those parties. Games? Old-fashioned, jolly games. And Jane Daniels played at every one, cheeks flushed, hair flying, eyes shining. It was during the "hands for partners" game, preceding the supper that the girls stood big thing happened. All the girls stood a heavy green curtain with holes in. There was a small hole protruded one feminine hand. The boys were to choose their partners from the hands. It seemed to have been Tom Kent's idea, and, of course, young Kent was to lead the grand march. Popular first and always was. His choice came first. He made it with his customary aristocratic bearing, but with the same good taste in evidence that always made every mother's daughter in Broxton hope—But there! It was an awesome moment, while the leader's partner hung in the balance. Who could hold the grand march with Thomas, Jr., and eat strawberry ice cream and four kinds of cake—and—? With a bow of triumph Kent made his choice of hand, and the big hall thrilled during the breathless second while the owner of the fairest hand in town tipped quietly out from behind the screening curtain. Oh, it was Jane's own night, all right. For Jane it was who stood beside young Tom. It was surprised, so uplifted, so glad, she hardly heard the man's eager whisper. "I like you, Jane Daniels, because you don't shout out to folks to notice you. You're just yourself, and if folks don't see you so much the worse for them. I watched you in dad's store today for one solid hour. I was up in the office. The way your hands wanted to help folks and didn't dare got me. We're going to be great friends, you and I, Jane Daniels, if you'll use us." In a brooklyn happier or more cared about than Jane Daniels, Mrs. Leonard Kent admits ungrudgingly that she's a darling. "It was putting those field daisies round our hall the night of the grange social that got us acquainted," she said. She was asked Jane to help. She always seemed to me such an exquisite pair of a girl." And Broxton warmly agreed. That's Often the Trouble He—But, my dear, what is the use of my taking up fencing instead of boxing? If I was attacked I shouldn't have my fills with me! She (trumphantly)—Ah! but you might not have your boxing gloves with you, either!—Humorist (London). New York, Sept. 27.—(K. N. F. Service)-Imperial Elks' Lodge No. 12, laid the cornerstones for new Garden and Grand Master David, W. Parker, officiated at the REPORT ON MINE OPERATIONS Federal Commission Says Labor Disurbances Are Most Serious Bar to Big Coal Production. Labor disturbances are the most serious obstacles to superabundant production of coal in the United States, the coal commission declared in a report to President Couldore on the subject of "irregular operation and overdevelopment of the bituminous industry." While ineffective corporation machinery was said to lend the fuel to coal, the commission concludes that the "strike of the mine workers is the only bar to continuous production considerably in excess of any present possibility of consumption." To attempt to solve the problem solely by improving transportation, the report said, would be simply to transfer to the railroad industry "the overdevelopment now seen in the coal industry and necessarily to increase the railroads would entail an expenditure of $2,000,000 if they set out to build up their equipment to the point where it could serve the peak demand for fuel, which would impose an additional charge on coal of about 40 cents a ton. "The alternative is better use of transportation facilities currently available," the commission decided. Commenting upon the labor factor, in recruiting shortages, the report said: "There have been but two national strikes of the union coal miners since 1915, that of November-December, 1919, cutting off some 70 per cent of the soft coal output, and that of the summer of 1922, affecting the bituminous coal fields to the same extent and shutting down the anthracite fields completely for about five months. The loss of production occasioned by these concerted withdrawals of the organized mine workers has in each instance caused such general shortage of that even after resumption of mining they have been the most persistent demand and high prices. The strike of the mine workers is the only bar to the continuous production of bituminous coal at a rate considerably in excess of any present possibility of consumption by the industries, railroads and households of this country, and of demand for export. "The bituminous coal industry rests upon abundant unmined reserves. The capacity in mines and mining labor is sufficient to produce at least 25 per cent more than the highest rate attained in periods of peak demand, and, indefinitely, would be the year the overdevelopment would be even more pronounced." OTHER LABOR NEWS The Associated Silk Workers, at a recent meeting in Paterson, N.J., voted to spend $5,000 in a campaign against the spread of the three and four-loom system. All operations at the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal company's three collieries and four strippings near Hazelown, Pa. were tied up by a strike of 1,800 men and boys over a disagreement on the recently established eight-hour shift for workers who heretofore were on duty 12 hours. The entire ticket of officers of the Chicago Federation of Labor was re-elected at the annual election. John Fitzpatrick was re-elected president; Oscar Nelson, vice president; E. R. Nockles, recording secretary; Thomas Kennedy, treasurer, and George H. Plowright, reading clerk. Miss Gertrude Stoezel, G. W. Campbell and M. B. Philip were elected members of the finance committee. Employees represented by the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks of the Erie railroad will be reimbursed for wages lost during 1921 when a pay reduction was put into force, according to a decision of the railroad labor board. Freight handlers and station employees were affected by the cut of about 40 per cent. The board holds the reduction was a violation of decision No. 2 of July, 1920, as well as of the transportation act. Gary, Ind., celebrated the announcement that wage adjustments in the steel mills would give 13,000 employees nearly as much under the new eight-hour shift under old 12-hour shifts. Announcement was also made that wages would be increased from 25 to 38 per cent. At present 2,000 men are working eight hours a day with the change of hours being effected gradually. Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, announced that men in the industry, mostly laborers, whose workday had been reduced from twelve hours to ten, would be paid at the rate of eleven hours' wages, according to the old schedule. This decision amounts to a 10 per cent increase for those men employed as day or common laborers. Recently the corporation agreed to pay men in the "continuous operations" departments, whose hours had been cut from twelve to eight a day, at the rate of ten hours' wages for the new eight-hour day. The Seaboard Air Line railway notified the United States Railroad Labor board that 2,700 shop employees had been granted a two cent an hour increase, effective August 1, 1923, and amounting to $144,000 annually. The New York Central, the board was notified, has granted 19,000 clerical and station employee increases of from one to three cents an hour. To serve as a central legislative body for eight local unions in the Canadian Federation of Labor, the Montreal has been formed in that city. cermemony.

OPPOSE MIGRATION Presenting the singularly specious argument that Chicago cannot afford to rob the South, which is its best bet, the Chicago Journal of Commerce de- Saturday. October 13. 1923. By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD "AND so, after all these years, I am trying to make up for my indifference by this method of reparation. The money is yours to do with as you desire. When you receive it I shall be dead and beyond the reach of thanks. "Your belatedly penitent great-uncle, "Jonathan Benjamin Cowles." This was the conclusion of the letter which Jimmy Stiles several days ago had signed with a flourishing signature and then reread with grinning satisfaction. How tickled Mary Louise would be! And how unlikely ever to discover the hoax. Now he sat at his desk and wondered whether Mary Louise had yet cashed the inclosed certificate of deposit. She had come to visit her aunt, who was matron of the County Home, where Jimmy was one of many lonely, blue-everal and aproned orphans. Mary Louise's mother, because of whose illness she had been sent away, died during her absence and she stayed on with her aunt. And when matrimony with a widower of small means and considerable family claimed the estimable matron, Mary Louise still lingered. Jimmy became her companion in all the playground squabbles, nor did the marvelous piece of luck which befell him when he was fifteen make him forget her. Jimmy rose rapidly—graduated brilliantly from high school—went into a lawyer's office daytimes and continued study at evening school. Ultimately he entered the bar and became an attorney with a reputation before he was thirty. Meanwhile Mary Louise had been "bound out" to a lonely farmer's wife. Growing attached to her, the woman had done more than the stipulated clothing and feeding of the child—taught her what she could of grammar, geography and similar rudiments of learning. A summer boarder had taken an interest and lent her books, not only during her stay but for many months afterward. These changes had meant separation for the boy and girl, during which the memory of each grew dim to the other but did not utterly fade. And at Drift Harbor, that wonder spot of ocean beach and vivid sunset and riotous surf, their paths converged once more. Signing his name in the Drift Harbor house register, Jimmy looked up from the final flourish of his signature—James W. Stiles, Boston—straight into a pair of well-remembered soft blue eyes. "You! Mary Louise!" Yes, it was Mary Louise, who sometimes filled in at the hotel, which stood a mile or two from her adopted home, in various capacities from that of clerk to waitress. "Are you happy, Mary Louise?" he asked one day. Mary Louise threw him a questioning glance from beneath her curly lashes. "Just now," she said ingeniously. "But winters—oh, Jimmy, it is very lonely. And—and I see no future. If only I could afford to go to the city and have a couple of years at a normal school. Then—oh, just think, I might be able to teach!" She sighed bifully, as though teaching were an achievement too heavenly to contemplate. "I dream nights of what I would do with a thousand dollars. That's my favorite air castle in Spain." That winter Jimmy unexpectedly won a case which netted him an even thousand and the sight of the check brought back to him the words of Mary Louise. An intense longing surged within him to help her out even as years ago he had been helped by the kindly rector. But handing over a sum of that amount to an unrelated young lady presented a problem. Suddenly the idea of creating a fictitious great-uncle occurred to him—a great-uncle who would exist but for a moment on a sheet of paper, but long enough to bequeath to Mary Louise a thousand-dollar legacy. The letter had been written and sent and now Jimmy sat and dreamed in his office of its reception by a blue-eyed, a lonely farmhouse near Drift Harbor. And as he dreamed the door of his office opened. At sight of a silm figure Jimmy sprang to his "eet. "You fraud!" cried a sweet voice. "My great-uncle Jimmy." Jimmy swallowed. "How-er—whyr—" "Well, partly because I read in the papers of your thousand-dollar fee in the Hitchcock case, but mostly because I saw him in the world makes the funny 'Js' that you had only to compare the 'J' of Jonathan with the 'J' on the hotel register to have my suspicions confirmed. Of course I couldn't—" "Mary Louise," interrupted Jimmy firmly, "hand over that certificate!" And when she did so he folded it evenly and slipped it into his pocketbook. "What an idiot I was to give you a chance to go out of my sight again!" And his face wore the expression of one upon whom a great light has broken suddenly. "Come straight into my arms, my darling!" And Mary Louise came. clares that it is opposed to migration of Southern colored people to that city.
