ONE FOKM OF INDIVIDUALISM
: It is customary, these days, to say that we are having an
"epidemic" 01 strikes. Historians talk learnedly about how
labor troubles always accompany a business revival, and
qcononiisU compute the losses suffered by employers, work
ers, and the public through such disturbances; hut what wo
all fail to realize is that the whole troubled labor picture is
civincr us a first-rate object lesson.
For a strike, when you stop to think about it, is liothinff
more or less than an outbreak of this "individualism we have
been, hearing so much about lately. It stands, that is to say,
for the letter lack of any kind o public control over the
parties or the industries involved.
To be a little more accurate. It Indicates tlio complete absence of any
kind of planning In the particular economy where the strike takes place.
It Is a. sign that the Industry Is drifting along with the stream; that both
sides are thinking of their problem In the terms of Immediate persona)
and not In tenm of long-run public Interest. One must him ten to add
that It Is only natural thnt they should do so. Tho Industrialist must
rivet his attention on his prof It-and -loss figures; tho worker has to think
first of all of his pay envelope. To expect them voluntarily to do anything
else would bo to anticipate the millennium.
But the point Is that tho strike, with all the waste that It Involves, Is
Blin ply tho price wo pay for the rule of Individualism In our economlo life.
One of the things that makes us loath to realize the fact thut when you
start talking about tho alternatives to Industrial Individualism you bogln
to get Into deep waters. The people of America see no very good reason
why they should copy either the.Itallnu or tho Russian method. of handling
such things.
Costly as strikes may be, most of us would prefer to put up with them
rathor than to get rid of them via cither Communism or Fascism. But
that need 1 n't prevent us from facing tho facts. Nor need it proven t us
from continuing our effort ta discover whether there isn't some wuy of so
modifying the rule of Individualism that its belief ft can be retained while
Its costly drawbacks can be discarded.

MISSING REVOLVER
TT WAS a squat roll of old stair
1 carpet. There was a scorched
hole through tho tough fabric and a
further search showed a scar on the
whitewashed boards where the spent
DUilet had lilt.
"We're on the right road now,
Harpor exclaimed exultantly. "If we
could only And that steel-Jacket bul
let, we'd have our proof complete."
"I'm afraid the killer would hold
on to that," was Lafferty's surmise.
"There's a natural urge to get rid
of that sort of evidence." Harper
countored, "and I'm counting on
Mat,"
They swung their flashlight about
at random. "What's In that little
cubby-hole over there?"
Lafferty poked his head down.
"Logs for the fireplace," he an
nounced. Thoy moved those from ono side
of the narrow bin to tho other but
found nothing hidden beneath them.
Harpor flashed bis light around the
sides of the bin and the beam came
to rest on a rough board barrier sot
flush Into the wall.
The dotectivo unfastened Hie
rusty hooks and pulled It free, artor
a struggle. A dark space Ailed with
rubble was rovealcd, greeting them
with a damp, nuisly odor,
"That must be the spaco under the
front stops," said Harper. Lalterty
suddenly raised his hand. "Oaten!"
ho whispered. "Thore's some one on
tho stairs. I hoard a board creak I"
Ho tiptoed silently In that direc
tion, whllo Harper snapped oh the
light and listened, waiting. In a little
whllo Lafferty rolurned. disgrun
tled. "There wnsn't a soul In sight,"
he growled, "but I'm suro somebody
was listening In."
"I'm going to look In that holo,"
Harper declared. "Give me a boost
up to the ledge." With his assist
ant's tid he scrambled on to the
shoulder-high ledge. Thrusting the
torch nhend. he crawled forward on
his knees. Lafferty heard a grunt of
disgust as he brushed asldo a black
thing that crawled out from under a
dislodged lump of mortar.
Tliore was a cry, a scramble back
wards, and Harper slid down to Uie
collar floor In a shower of small
stones and dirt. Ills clothes were
soiled with lime and tho soft, mossy
dirt, and his hands were brushing at
tho thick cobwebs caught around
his head and shoulders, but In his
stained Angers he held a lump of
motal.
"Carlln was right!" ho exclaimed.
It was a discharged .45 calibor
steel-Jacket bullet!
don't seo why It would be left lying
around all that time.
"But this gun was too big to bo
carried around easily. It really need
ed a holster. I think you'd better
tacklo Dufrcsne on tbe question."
"Not so fast. Let me think. If Dn
frosne did It and wo tax him with It,
he'll certainly deny there ever was
such a gun. If Andrews did it, he'll
Ho, too. But If . he didn't do It and
doesn't know It's gone you stay
hero, Jack, and look through these
two rooms for that gun."
Harper went downstairs. He met
Officer Albright, who had stood
guard over Dufresne's room, stand
ing In the hall, about to go off duty.
"Has any one gone up or down these
stairs In the last fifteen or twenty
minutes?"
"Not a soul, sir."
"i want you to do something for
mo. I want to find out if any one left;
this house in the last hour, and if so,;
where they went. Can you manage
that without arousing suspicion?"
Albright signified that , he could.
The officer at the front door In
formed. Harper that no one had gone
out by that way, whereupon the de
tective returned lo the breakfast-
room. He pressed the servants' bell
and signed to O'Connell to. leave the
field clear.

"DUT, Steve, I tell yon I saw It
- right thero, burled under thoso
handkerchiefs!"
Lafferty pointed to the open draw
er of tho highboy In Pierre Du
fresne's dressing-room. There was
palpably nothing thero now but the
neatly stacked handkerchiefs.
"I couldn't be mistaken about any
thing as important as that. It was
not an automatic, but a heavy cali
ber rovolvor. Andrews was looking
for Dufresne's extra pairs of glasses
and they were In tho drawer on the
other side. Tho gun was not In a
holster. I'd bet a month's pay the
bullets would ho .45's."
"I don't get this at all." Harper
mused. "We went ofr by ourselves
and mado an important discovery
that has to do with the gun used for
this crime. No ono know anything
about our suspicions, yet when we
return to this room less than an
hour later the revolver has boon
spirited awoy. That's more than a
coincidence!"
Harper looked through the other
drawers in tho highboy. The con
tents wore in meticulous order and
it wos apparent at a glance that
nothing ns bulky as the revolver
Lafferty had described could bo hid
den ihero now.
To bo doubly suro that Lafferty
and ho had- overlooked nothing.
Harper went through tho drawers
otico more, and gave the pleasant
room a hasty general search before
cither spoke again. Thero was noth
ing. "Don't forget," Lafferty advised
drily, "that there was a noise on the
stairs while we were poking around
the cellar. Some one in this house
Is trying lo keep an eye on us. I
think It's Andrews. That fellow can

".Mr. and Mrs. Dufresne spent the
summer at Moose Head Lodge, sir.
That's on a small Island off the coast
of Maine, We came bad tarly In
October, but wo had only bean hera
a week or two when we went to tha
usterliti."
"But Mrs. Dufrpsne has bqen sta'y
lng at Mrs. Morlock's."
"Since the holidays, sir. Tha dec-,
orators have been very slow. Ol,
course, I sometimes came up here
with Mr. Dufresne to see how things'
woro progressing. Donaghy was
here much oftener to bring back
things that woro needed."
Was the house closed up while
tho Dufresncs were at Moose Head
Lodgo?"
Oh, no, sir. The Whitmoros
looked after it all summer."
'How many keys are there to this
houso and who has them?"
"Mrs. Whltmore has the only com
plete set of keys, I believe, but I
suppose you are more Interested In
door keys. Mr. Dufresne has a sot
and so has Mrs. Dufresne. I have
koys to tho front door and back door.
Donaghy has a key to the back door.
That Is all, sir."
'The household keys seem to be
fairly well scattered around," Har
per remarked.
"Not unusually so," Andrews re
plied, with some asperity.
"Oh, I'm not criticizing, An
drews." Harpor replied easily. "This
man who was killed showed a sur
prising familiarity with the place.
Ho knew, for Instance, how to get
hold of thoso liquor bottles without
turning the place Inside out"
The butler looked at the twin do-
canters." Then he must hare found
his way to tho wine cellar. Thoss
bottles were not kept filled. Tbey
were empty last time I saw them."
"Hut your wine cellar Is kept un
der lock and key? When we searched
down thero we found the door se
curely locked."
"Yes, but tho key hangs behind a
beam, easy to reach, but out of
sight. You would have to know
where to look for It."
"That's what I thought. Now, An
drews, one more question. I must file
a report of whatover firearms are
kept on these premises. Mr. Du
fresne reports that he keeps a revol
ver in the house, a .45 caliber. That
Is correct. Isn't It?"
Harper glanced up covertly but
the butler's face was as Impassive
as ever, nor did he hesitate over his
reply. "Yes, sir."

PRESIDENT'S
BOARD FAILS
IN ATTEMPTS
I continued From Page One)
wearily last night from extended
conferences and announced "no success."
In spite of tho crisis, however.
President Roosevelt's board carried
on its negotiations, aided by a plea
of its chairman, Archbishop Edward
. naniia, lor "rule by reason" in a
public address.
The enlarged strike committee was
called into session and was expected
to vote shortly on the general strike
proposal.
Meanwhile, other blockaded sea
ports girded themselves to continue
me iwo-montns old maritime . con
flict which brought Its elahtli death
last night in Portland when James
Bateson, railroad brakeman. died
from Injuries. The revolt spread
into Canada as the Vancouver dls-;
trict waterfront workera voted for a j
mass meeting on a proposal to re-
iuse to work United States ships and
siartea collection of a war" fund.
Governor Julius L .Meier of Ore
gon urged that the president's board
proceed with a referendum! among
maritime strikers or be replaced by
a Doara "representative" or the en
tire coast. He was advised by Sena
tor McNary from Washington that
the board was responsible directly
io i no president.
Almost simultaneous with Bate
son's death was a recommendation
of the heads of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen that switchmen
should not be required to work un
der present conditions of the long
shore strike.
The emergency In the beleagured
San Francisco metropolitan area, in
cluding Oakland and other east bay
cities, with a population of more
than 1,000,000, became more acute
each hour.
Gasoline stations put up "air and
water only" signs; fresh meats, fruits
and 'egetables were becoming scarce
and thousands of panicky residents
swarmed to grocery stores to lay in
siege supplies.
Regardless of the decision on a
general walkout, the ranks of strik
ing teamsters, taxlcab drivers, chauf
feurs and wholesale butchers will be
swelled by at least 11,000 tonight and
tomorrow. Laundry drivers and
workers, retail butchers and retail
deliverymen have voted to strike to
night, bringing the total out In
sympathy with longshoremen to ap
proximately 11,000 in the San Fran
cisco bay region.
In Portland another man, a striker,
was reported by physicians to be in
a "precarious" condition from bul
let wounds suffered in a clash with
police during the attempted move
ment or the train from which Bate-
son fell. He was E. W. Bcatty,
waterfront picket. Otherwise the
Portland waterfront was quiet over-
To avoid confusion the celebration

Since these tickets were issued the
committee has sanctioned a privately
