Wages earned by this representative by working over time or on Sundays and holidays not to be deducted. This rate to apply only to a contract of not less than one month.

Subject to this provision, this contract is only subject to termination at the end of any calendar month by either party upon not less than fifteen days' previous written notice. It is understood that we will leave the same operator at your plant as long as possible, but should he insist on leaving, or we do compelled to withdraw him, then we agree to give you notice as early as possible before lie leaves and send another- operator in his place as promptly as we can and a few days before if possible.

HANNAH If at one time in Jones' life he hadJ I not been lured to learn the great Amer ican game of poker (he quit it long ago) and progressed far enough to keep an even face with a hand full of aces with four stayers, he certainly would have betrayed his dumfounded surprise when the late senator's letter fell into his hands. A dozen more letters passed under his eye, from railroad magnates and manu facturers, but they had no interest tor him, and did not remain fixed in his mind. The Contract "You need not show me any more," said Jones; "the fact that Senator For- aker and. the chairman of the Republi can National Committee have endorsed your institution is all the testimony, I need carry back with me to Missouri. If you had a hundred more they would not add to them.

We have trusted unionists in nearly every organization, and many of our men hold high official positions. One is a national organizer for the Federation in this state (Ohio). We have the unions in Chicago, partic ularly noneycomoed with-our men.

few days at Cindn-nati." For Jones to have asked for the names of any of the men who were working for the company would have been as foolish as for Smith to have given them, so Jones was satisfied to express his sur prise that the institution was so well organized. He' did, however, ask how union men, could be secured for the service, to which question he got hb further satisfaction than the reply, "We have the coin." The Endorsements. Jones felt that he had already got in- formation that was worth coiner aernss the continent after, butlthere wals something more and, better if he could get it. The "company must have, some place in this room, endorsements from men prominent in the business and political world. There probably -were names on docu ments in the office that were known from sea to sea.

To ask for them in order to satisfy a little manufacturing company in an obscure western village would only invite suspicion. Smith must be induced to produce them by other means, and Jones bluffed Leaning across the table, in a confidential way, lie revealed to Smith, what lie intended that individ ml to believe was an outburst of his fell confidence. The Western Manufac- tunng Co. was an insignificant affair. It was bonafide so far as it went.

bein. however, nothing more, than institu- 9 tioa that the "old rnanw (Warren) had capitalize for Ma snn Tit man" was very wealthy and had extensive holdings in the lead district around Jop- lin. Western Federation of Miners had come into the region and organized men. He also had interests in the smelters over in the cas belt of Kansas, and the -Western federation was also in there. Th old fraanw was getting nervous over tie situation and hid plenty of mon.tei spend if it would accomplish Smith's" eyescllated.w"'He saw in it.

He also saw business galore in sifcht, end gcing over to another corner cf rocn he hroht a i.ar.d grip to auxiliary tl JO Jj; You will be surprised to learn for how little money and how comfortably the California tour may be made. Join the Santa Fe daily excursions in Pullman tourist sleepers.

Continued from office, and renewed his request for more information concerning the WV Co." He evidently was not willing to do the first talking, and wanted to be investigator rather than be investigated. Now, of course, the W. M. Cb. could not stand: a rigid scrutiny, and Jones played a bluff.

He explained to Smith that the company was preparing to Manufacture automatic station 'registers, a sicple device to place in cars to show the raassen-gjrs the next station at which trains wcilV stop, which at nght would be il-luminXted. There were zjjCmo reaches in use in the United States, and if we could get our invention on all of them we had. a fortune in it. Of 'course, our success depended on that provision. Jones did not share the views of the "old man" (Warren) on the lahor question, and -really thought i he was "nutty aoout tne matter, as Rich Hill was only nall place.

However, if the "old man' wanted to throw his money away it was none of his (Jones') business. He proposed to investigate the Auxiliary Company thoroughly, and if satisfied; that it was nipt a fake detective agency, he would make a contract, worked nicely, and Smith asked no more questions about the W. XI. Huch to Jones' sat' isfaetion, but launched out eloquently in a long harrangue on. the general m-sedness of unions.

It was not so much a question of hours arid wages- wfiichv his clients were fighting, but the dictatorial attitude of unions, which were presuming to tell employers what they should and should not do. Union dictation had become unbearable, and the employing interests had banded together to fight to a finish TjpneV force cf the argument, but was from Missouri' as to any successful way to fight the unions. How It Fights. "How can you fight theni by simply spying on them? asked Jones. 'foil have made a mistake in your estimate of our institution, Mr.

Jones was now getting what he came after, and the scent was getting! decid edly hot To show any unusual interest would be fatal, for Smith, with his eagle eye, was watching every change countenance. Jones kept still and Smith continued: i Spies Arc Prominent Labor- Attn. to Please send me 'California in a Tourist Sleeper" and information about low rates to California.

tered into with the employer, coveringa long period, and made very easy in its terms. However, these tactics may not be good, and the union spirit may be. so strong that a big organization cannot be prevented. In this case bur man. furas extremely radical.

He asks for unreason able things and keeps the union em-. broiled in trouble. If a strike comes he will be the loudest man in the bunch, and will counsel violence- and get body into trouble. The result will be that the. union will be broken- "up.

In ar general way, this is the way our men will proceed. We will have to get tonto. the ground, though, before we can tell what to do. The manwe send youmay? not be suited to the locality, in which case we must substitute. He might a Dutchman, when the local crowd were Irish, or vice versa.

He might beslngle and all the rest married, or the opposite be the case. We will find out when we commence operations, and' will take care of our side of the ease.
