The clauses of its constitution show how jealously thc Triple Alliance guards its power.

Tlmt Tr'ple Allinnc Is working overtime for Soeirtlim these dnv. i-errase in spite ot the addition 0 I ow unions, manv of professional work ers, created in recent years. Tlie general trend today is distinctly in the direction of industrial unionism, : witn a erowing section of executive leadership and of the rank and file nlike urging along that road. The reasoning of the English labor leaders in pushing this doctrine is crystal clear. Tn the words of J. IT. Thomas, now president of the Trades Union Congress, "national unionism has be come obsolete. Not only must future organisation be on industrial lines, and its marking of the units of industry pay Mime regard to the employer, but there must be co operation between the various industrial unions." Tt i evident that thi" philosophy is something far more fundamental than anything contemplated bv the present administration of the A. F. of L. ".,r. on the other hand, does the British theory of -industrial democracy 1-e-ir nnv but the most superficial resemb lance to that of the I. W. W. The idea of violent social revolution is not seri. f nsly considered in the development on this side. Industrial unionism is some thing new for England and at present is regarded simply as nn intesely prac tical step to insure greater ' power and solidarity for the workers. Not as a weapon for invoking revolution ary general strikes, but .-is a tool to itisuie fewer strikes with a much higher percentage of success. To sum marise in the words of a prominent union organizer "the philosophy of industrial development seldom con cerns our people. It is always the next thing that counts."

Others, and they are tlie majority, hold that the Triple Alliance will galvanize the whole in dustrial side of the labor movement into a more aseressive and well-fortified Stand, without itself dominating tbe field after the present transition period. There must of course, be a stronj, fui ward-looking executive coun cil of labor to hold the balance be tween the Triple Alliance and the rest of the organized labor during this tradition period, and it is obvious that the Triple Alliance has already m. tilted in general agitation for a stron ger and more uniformly progressive personnel on the parliamentary com mittee of the Trade Union f!on GALE DENIES 6ARRANZA SUPPORT, MEXICO.

Gus Anderson sat in his old arm chair with his feet propped upon the 'ibrnry table, his face buried in a news paper and his mouth filled with nn enormous chew of tobacco. He was all alone, as was his habit when Olive was not in the house. Exoept :'t lllca' Itime, Mrs. Anderson and her spouse t never shared each other's company. 'There was a good renson for this. Their minds ran in entirely different ehan 'nels. She would sit bv the hour in the diuing room and read the Bible or the 'Ram's Horn' or 'The Christian Herald', while he would sit in the front room smoking his pipe and reading the 'Police Gazette' or 'Smart Set ' magazine, that is. if he was not reading the stock reports. This evening he was thus engaged when Olive en tered, ne noticed now what he had been noticing for several days that the girl's mental attitude had been en tirely changed. Shu no longer ran to him with that childlike playfulness that h.-H always been the joy of his life. She had become dignified, distant, almost to stiffness. He resented this ihancteiihtic. Ii reminded him of the wnyu of i. or mother. He had always boasted that nhe was his chill with none of her mother's fnults, and now Mint she evinced sonic of his reel characteristics he was unable to re cognize them, but averred that they .line front the mother's side of the family. Before he. thought he com plained of it. "Olive, don't act like to your omther," he said almost pee vishly. To which she answered that she was trying to net like him. That she was going to be a business woman, as her father was a business man, and is he had many times said that busi ness was a dog cat dog life and that there was no sentiment in business, that she was trying to blot all senti ment from her veins. "I want to be come as much like you as possible papa," she finished. This was the uhkindest cut of all. Yet Anderson could not help but smile. He wanted his little girl to be an augH and :tt the some time to be like him. He saw the conceit of it and laughed "0 forget U," he said. "I wanted you to be like you used to be. Just my little girl." ''Tint's what mamma used fo he, too, as long as she was what you wanted her to be, but when she be came what she wanted to be then I became your tlitle girl. Mamma learn ed to love her church more than she loved you. You will have to love busi ness." Then with a saucy toss of her head "I'll be second fiddle to no man or no thing. I'm a new woman, I am." "Yah, you're a new freak. Pitim full of crazy notions," her father roared. "Why can't you be pleasant with mo? I've never robbed vou." "Nof You have admitted hiding the truth from me and now that it is thrown in my face from every direc tion and T try to reconcile myself, you don't like it." So saying she walked over to the piano and instead of her usual sacred hymns she began to paly "She Stood and Chewed Tier Gum". "Oh. for God sake, cut that out. What s got into you?" her father cried boistrously. "1 am the new woman. I am through with old fashioned hymns. I am going to play modern music." o saving she switched over on the 'Shade of the Old Apple Tree'. "Why don't you play hymns? Play me that one you played the other night. That one about the dark night." "That is sentimental. I'm a live wo man now. And life and sentiment can't go together. Beside whose night is dark? And you don't care if any body is far from home." Then she broke into singing "When the Guinea Play? the Organ on Ihe Side Walks of New York." Gus Anderson's hands dropped by his side. A great big tear rolled down his fat florid face. It was perhaps the first time that his daughter had ever seen a tear in his eyes. It was more than she could bear. She jumped up from the piano stool nnd threw herself into his lap entwining both of her arms about his neck. "I was just foolin' Daddy" she cooed into his ears, "I was n teasin' you. Just show ing you Hint you do not mean the life you pretend to live. That's all. I want to be Dnddv's little girl. Onlv I want Pnddy to let mo know life as it is. Pon't feed me on lies just be cause you love me." And old Gus entwined her in his heavy arms holding her close to his breast. "I'll be damned if we are not all sinners. Even when we try to do good we raise hell. But little one mustn't dissapoint her Daddy. Always be good and Daddy will give her every thing he can. No matter what she ever does, Daddy is goin' to be his little girl's best friend. Do anything for her. ' ' He had no sooner said this than Olive disengaged herself from bis embrace and ran her fingers through his hair. "I is goin' to ask you for something right now, and if you do it I 11 comb out all your dandruff with a nice new comb." "Shoot! I'm ready for slaughter!" said her father. "What is it you want?" "First T must tell you something. I met this boy in front of Higbees this afternoon, and I talked to him. Tie told me he wanted to get back into iail because his partners were still in. Funny I never thought of that. I might hnve known that he wouldn't leave them. He told me that he had only twelve cents iu his pocket nnd no where to go. This is n fcnrfullv cold night nnd I'm worried nbout him. I told him to go and wait in the pool halt and I would go and see if you would do something for him. Renlly yon ought to Daddy. Don't you think so?" Then pinching his noHC and drawing it away down she said, "Call up the pool hall and let them nrrnnge a place for him. Won't you Dnddy?" Old Gus just laughed. "Womnn, wo man, its no wonder Adnm fell. Guess I'll go and see the kid myself. Bring me my artics, coat and cap and 1 '11 go and see him. Kind of interested in what my future son in lnw looks like." At thi- she pouted beautifully but hurried to get the articles icquired. Half an hour later Gus Anderson walked into the pool hall of Eriekson and Johnson. He asked the man behind the cigar case to point out the stranger which the other did. He then walked over to Jack and introduced himself as the county sheriff. He told him that he had come to see why he did not obey the court's order to leave the town. To which the boy replied that the court had no power to issue such an order seeing that his term was not yet expired and he was not the re cipient of executive clemency, or other legal process estting aside the com mitment order of the court. Anderson soon discovered that he could not bluff the boy with legal phraseology. A trick which he had often played on the fanner. So he simply settled down into what was ostensibly a pleasant conversation, but which was in realty an endeavor on his part to learn who and what the kid was. Tn this he succeeded fairly well. The boy told him that he was reared in the counthern part of the state and that he was enjoying his first experience in working in thc harvest nway from home. He also told 1 im that what they did nt Anamoose they did at Wcstfleld, and that it was his purpose to help organize the harwest workers in such a way ns to make the tax payers pastime of arresting and fining men rather nn expensive Inxnry. He told him that instead of scattering the workers would come hack to the same towns and that the farmers would pa increased wages r.nd reduce production for the incon tinences the workers hnd suffered on account of their greed. This of course greatly interested the solid citizen, ne urged the boy to go back home and help his father cultivate the farm, lie warned the boy that there was nothing to be gained by sacrificing ones self for a bunch of worthless bums. "You 'belong to us" he averred and pointed out to the boy that any effort to organize havest hands was treason to his own people. Ho pointed out that the farmers life was hard nnougi as it was, with the burden of taxes, interest and crop uncertainty; that if the workers were organized it would mean shorter hours, higher wages, and more costly food, nil of which the farmers couldn't stand and they would go broke with the result that the workers would have no job. He endeavored to show him that orga nizing the harvest workers would de stroy the harvest business and cause every field to over grow with grass. This argument would have a ap pealed to Jack as logical two months before but not now. ne pointed out lo Mr. Anderson that bread was n social necessity. That there was a vast difference between what the farmer got for wheat and what the consumer paid for bread. That this difference went into tho pockets of mortgage holding bankers, elevator owners, rail roads, commission men, millers, whole salers, retailers, etc. He also pointed out that by the collective ownership of alnd where the farmer could get as much as he needed for the payment of government tax, would eliminate tlie mortgage holder; that what the mort gage holder now got could go to the harvest hands and help him to live as befitted a human being. He point ed out that the commission men and the board of trade could be eliminated and the money which they drew out of the wheat business could go to the farmer and the farm worker. He then reviewed the over capitalization of riilroads as well as of miller and elevator companies and convinced An derson that here too was a tremendous source of waste which might go to useful labor. And he finished it all by making a prediction that the work ers and tenant farmers of the state would some day rise against all these grafting agencies nnd sweep them out of existence. Anderson listened to him with nn indulgent smile upon his face. "Some dream kid, some dream. Dime novels have spoiled many a youth. I'm con vinced that you're not a bad r.ort of a guy and I'm going to be good to you. My daughter told me that you was broke. Now I'm going to get you a bed and pay for your meals at the hotel. And give you back what the judge fined you, if you'll promise me to go home on the first train out." To this Jack replied that as a citizen of the state he could not be exiled. That he was going to stay in Anamoose, in jail or out until his partners were relensed. And that even then they might buy out Judge Duffy's blind pig and become respective citi zens. Anderson now came right down to business, ne asked him how much ho would tnke to lenve town to which the replied that thero woro certain unbuyable things, such as loyalty to friends, to principles nnd access to the hearts of others. "You're quite right kid. I thought that every man had his price much or little, but I havo run up ngninst it the last few days. There nro unbuy able things. And" the hell of it is the things we want most we cannot buy. (Continued next week) 0- THE WORLD'S ECONOMIC SITUATION. a locturo by Wm.
