C0TNER&S0N Authorized Cas Countv SAYS Joseph Pada-ay who's the big lawyer tor the American Federation of Labor. Here's what he said: It is "fundamental that men have the right to work or not, as they see fit." Well sir, it appears to me that when an important union spokes man makes a statement like that, it's mighty good proof of what I ve been maintainin' all along. There's no real quarrel between the fellows in the uniens and the rest of us folks. Joe Padway may riot realize it, but he said exactly what the Nebraska Small Business Men's Association wui savin' when it asked us voters to okay the P.ight to Work Amendment last November. We all believe that a man has the right to work and earn a living without havin" to kowtow to anybody, whether it's a union boss or an employer. 1 say, give the working man a chance to clean the racketeering out of unionism, and you'll see the rise of some real leaders who'll help iron out all the troubles that are holding up production. Alter all, the "common man" has an uncommon lot of good sense.

Now. tor example, during the coal strike, there was a mighty revealin' statement made by this JEANNETTE COVERT- NOLAK XXVII "TAJOR CAMERON sat in a so "L questered nook in the St. George bar where the palm trees were real, though they grew in tubs. His hat was on the back of his head, his brow knit: in his hand was a notebook in which he now and then scribbled a name. To observers, those few before noon drinkers who sauntered in and out, he must have seemed a man whose disciplined brain plowed a single, fertile furrow of thought; but the fact was that he crossed out the names almost as soon as he wrote them, and his thoughts were jumbled as a crazy quilt. He had just written "Walter McNally," and crossed it out (poor Walter! a post-office clerk, of course, and so rather secure, with a steady, modest income; but still saddled, probably with the ex pense of his wife's illness and death) when the bartender called ' jovially to him: i " 'Morning, Major. Ain't you gonna have your buttermilk?" "No, I'll wait a while, thaak you, Jim." He would wait, he reflected, until Mr. Milgrim came in, as he vas likely to do, and offered the buttermilk "on the company." Tie prices here were simply out rageous; twenty-five cents for a mug of buttermilk. Well, you paid for everything else with that mug the sparkling mirrors behind the bar, Jim's white apron, Jim himself, th,e St. George manage ment's taxes and interest on in vestment. As the word "invest ment" flashed into his mind, the Major winced. It had recent con notations; it brought up his last night's conversation with Sidney. She was becoming more incorrigi ble every day, that girl, more like the Major's unfortunate sister Laura. . . .

FOR fully a half-hour, having xl Ui'm nn in n nnmo!1 rf the parlor, she had continued her badgering. She wanted forty dol lars well, then, tmrty-iive tor Jeff; because Jeff had some sort of iob in view, a job in a distant city to which he must travel by train; the money was for the rau rnaH fnre. Maior Cameron hadn't quite understood what it was all about; this was partly because he didn't wish to, but largely because Sidnev was so secretive. In any one other than himself, the Major detested secrecy. Why couiant Sidney come right out with it, in stead of beating around the bush? He asked her that, and her answer was characteristically pert why didn't he tell her the nature oi ms investment? "In due time;" he had said, "you will know, Sidney. In due time, as it materializes, forty dollars will seem the merest picayune sum to me and to all of us. Jeff will be able to travel any distance he Jikes. not to a job, but to college, a university " "Jeff? Why, Papa, he's too old for college. He's twenty-three. And, anyway, he can't hang around until due time. He's got to go at once or not at all. Surely you have a little ready money. We can't be that poverty-stricken!" "Mr dear Sidney, we are not poverty-stricken. You must think of it as a temporary condition onlv. the ummm famine before the feast" "Tell me one thing," she said, "is this investment of yours con nected with Mr. Milgrim at the St. George?"

Eut I "Never mind, know that much just had to TUT the truth was, and he avoid ed facing it oftener than he must, that the oil business was very slow in developing. This was to an extent the Major's own fault or so Mr. Milgrim seemed to think. The president of the company was not "producing" enough, Mr. Milgrim said which meant that the Major was not selling enough certificates fast enough. "You must produce, sir!" Mr. Milgrim said; and occasionally the Major detected a shade of cen sure in the adjuration. "After all, sir, a citizen of your pre-eminence in this community, this state, with shoals of friends!" . . . Well, the Major had already sold one hun dred and eighty-three certificates, which was nine thousand, one hundred and fifty dollars' worth; but the next day he had gone out again on the route, visiting, among other old tobacco customers, Mr. Sylvester Atkins of Carp Creek, Indiana. Mr. Atkins bought a gross of Spunky Mule plugs; he didn't buy any Shenandoah stock. Mr. Atkins said he'd like to, but he now had four certificates, which was his limit. "A fellow can in vest just so much, Major," Mr. Atkins said. Mr. Milgrim was advocating speed r.nd more speed. . . . Some times the Major was quite frantic and thought of himself as an ele phant prodded from the rear by an irascible trainer. He borrowed from Jeff and bought a certificate; he sold one to his barber, one to a conductor on the Governor Street trolley, and then no more. He mused with regret upon the lack of conviviality in his past life. He had few intimates none, really. And he began to make a list of his neighbors. He had the names of Mrs. Kerr, Dr. Tarpin, Mr. Fischer and Doc Morton. . . . Then, suddenly inspired, the Major added another name: Judge Logan. A stiff, proud man, Judge Logan. The Major would enjoy do ing him a favor, and, later, when the Shenandoah spouted a golden harvest, receiving his gratitude.
