Labor Meet Split bv Condemnation of Rail Workers Attack on Engineers by Min ers Threatens Bitter Quar rel Bebore Session Is (ilosed. By KENNETH (LARK. Intermit ioiuil Vtm Service Stuff I orreepundent. » El Paso, Tex., Nov. 19.—With the 'swiftness and suddenness of a cyclone •that gathers out of a clear blue sky, dark clouds of war lowered ominously -today oxer the annual conxentlon of ' t he American Federation of Labor in session here. Just when it seemed that all was to be calm and placid, when leaders thought that they had removed all • obstacles and differences that would . lead to serious fights, the whole "atmosphere has become overnight as J if surcharged with dynamite requtr ; ing but a spark to set off a lively Maze. The immediate cause was the presentation by the United Mine Workers of a resolution condemning the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi ■ neers and its president. Warren S. "Stone, in connection with the opera f-tion of the rail men's coal properties •in West Virginia and Kentucky. Armed Guards Posted. ■ J Tlie miners charged that the broth erhood is operating Us collieries on a nonunion basis, paying less than the union rates, evicting miners and e their families, Irt posting armed -guards about the properties, in (jeopardizing the lives of mine union • organizers. The federation is asked -not only to condemn Stone and the brotherhood policy but to notify all 'state and central labor unions of its -action “in regard to tills all-linpor J-tinjt matter which deals xvith collec ’ tine bargaining and the trade union unpyement in America." j -$qhn L. Lexvis, president of the ‘ L'ntted Mine Workers, arrix-ed today I to lead the battle for passage of the • resolution. Under an agreement Maj. x George L. Berry, president of the ' pressmen's union, will be floor leader - for the miners. William M. Johnston, ' president of the machinists’ and Bert ‘ M. Jewell of the shopmen are the ; chiefs of the opposing faction. • The trouble between the miners and ’engineers has been brewing more than ■ two years, during which Lexvis futily has sought to reaeh an agreement xvith Stono to place the rail mines r on a union scale. Under the rules of the convention the resolution must he voted on. forcing the federation to take a definite stand betxveen the min ers and engineers. Rattle Lines Drawn. Stone's organization never has been affiliated with the federation. While the battle lines are being , drawn and convention leaders are holding endless conferences trying to - maintain peace and harmony, the fight on the resolution on the floor may'be postponed several days. There was another delay today in -getting doxvn to the active business ' of the conxentlon when most of the - sessions xx-as devoted to speeches by fraternal labor delegates from Great iBritain, Canada and Germany. As ; did President Samuel Gompers In his opening address, these delegates urged the close union and alliance of labor bodies all over the world that there !■' .. 1 1 n THE GREBE SYNCHROPHASE *' The Grebe Synchrophase is the last word in tuned radio frequency receivers.

Nov. 19. — Edith Kelly Gould's silk stockings got into court today with a suit by a merchant tor 4,008 francs which he has been trying to collect since 1918. Tiie merchant's bill covers the years 1917 18 and shows that Mrs. Gould bought titi pairs of silk hosiery in October of the last year. Frank Jay Gould, her former husband, who was divorced in 1919. refused to pay the bill and the merchant now is su ing Mr. Gould and the actual pur chaser jointly. Mrs. Gould in her answer says the suit over the hosiery cannot be tried until the courts finally dispose of her action for half of Mr. Gould's for tune.

Just ns Chatterer, the Red Squirrel and Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and Striped Chipmunk were working every possible minute to lay up sup plies of food for the winter, Paddy and Mrs. Paddy were doing the same thing. But they had to work harder than the members of the Squirrel family. The latter had only to pick up nuts and seeds and carry them to their storehouses. Paddy and Mrs. Paddy had first to cut down trees, and then cut those trees into logs. All this they had to do before they could store their food away for the winter. You know Beavers live on bark. To have this bark where they could get it when their pond was frozen over they had to sink it In the water so that they could get to it under the Ice. The work of the Squirrel cousins was play compared with the work of Paddy the Beaver and Mrs. Paddy. But the latter were happy In their work. Their chief worry was from the fear that Jack Frost might cover their pond with ice before they had enough food stored up to last them all winter. So they didn’t waste a minute. They took only time enough for necessary sleep anil to eat their tneals. They worked both day and night. There were just three enemies they had to watch out for. These were Old Man Coyote.

But It was an altogether different matter with Old Man Coyote and Yowler the Bob Cat. Of course Old Man Coyote knew what was going on. Little goes on that he doesn’t know about. Day after day and night after night he watched from a distance. Ho knew that It was useless to try to catch those Beavers while they were cut ting trees dose to the water. "When they get those trees nearest the wa ter cut they have to go back from the water a distance," said Old Man Coyote to himself. "The thing for me to do is to wait until they have to do this.” So. though the sight of them made Old Man Coyote'R mouth water, he patiently waited, all the time taking care that the Beavers should not see him. He knew that If he could catch Day after day and night after night he watched from a distance. one, the dinner he would have would be worth all his jjatience and wait ing. He was on hand watching the night that Paddy and Mrs. Paddy cut the last aspen tree close to the wa ter. He grinned as he saw It fall. Then he began to make his plans. He carefully studied the land all around the trees that he felt sure Paddy and Mrs. Paddy would cut next. There was one growing a lit* lie aside by llself. It was just the size that he knew Paddy and Mrs. Paddy liked best. It was far enough from the water for hint to have a very good chance of catching one of them if he could surprise them at work.
