No Arjnistice
Seen in Labor
AFICIO Parley Next Week
Probably Will Fail, Is
Observers' Opinion
By JOSEPH L. MILLER
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-(P)-Labor
leaders say next week's
peace conference between the Am
erican - Federation of Labor , and
John L. Lewis committee for in-
dmtrlal organization probably
will fa!L
In tbeir private conversations,
leaders in both camps say the ne
gotiations may be continued for
a lone time. Proposals and coun
ter proposals to end labor's bitter
civil war probably will be made.
Long recesses may be taken.
But these leaders say there is
little likelihood- of peace while
each side is celebrating victories
in battle. One AFL official said
recently, "wait until one side or
the other starts sliding downhill
fast; then well . have peace."
- AFL Surrender Wanted
, Lewis' closing remarks at the
CIO Atlantic City meeting last
week-Indicated the attitude which
the rebel committee will carry in
to, the conference. He said:
"If the AFL officials choose to
lay aside their weapons and Join
the CIO in working out a program
of unity, 'tis well.
yit they elect not to do so. the
responsibility - for that decision
-" will benpon their beads end their
shoulders.
"But the CIO will go pn it
will go on working out its own
destiny, and its destiny is to make
true some of the dreams of its
Millions of members."
When the Federation agreed to
the peace conference. AFL lead
ers decided not to talk for publi
cation about their attitude or
hat their proposals would be.
CIO Surrender Wanted
From a source close to the Fed
' oration's executive council, how
rver, it was learned that the dom
inant faction in the council want
ed no peace without a complete
CIO surrender. This faction. It
vas said, felt Lewis was licked.
If Lewis refuses to disband the
CIO, and If, the dominant AFL.
craft union leaders refuse to
stand for unqualified industrial
unionism in the -mass production
industries, the peace conference
probably will end in short order.
Some leaders suggested, how
ever, that each side might offer a
compromise.
-If the peace conference comes
to naught, both sides are ready to
intensify the war.

The Silver Rood Mystery
- CHAPTER XXX
" Mason had quite a dinner for me.
' I told SaDy what had happened. I
could guess that Mason was listen
ing on every opportunity, and took
care not to say anything that would
give away the fact that Morin
claimed to be Montieth's daughter.
" "I don't see how yon. could resist
; the temptation to go through those
letters, right then and there." Sally
said. -- -
I wanted to take my time, Old
Girl,"' I explained. "I wanted to get
the box out here safely, then go
through it. I'm betting some of those
letters are from Nola Lutxmann
what va thalV'
"What? You're getting panicky,
Barley. I didn't hear anything."
I got up softly and walked to the
arch. One of the portieres swayed
lightly. Mason was just disappear
ing into the butler's pantry. .
I aat down again with a grin. "I
thought I heard some queer sound.
It's your perfect, but nosey, butler."
"Why shouldn't he be curious 7 I
don't suppose, in all of his experi
: ence, he ever got so close to a crime
mystery before. ' . v;;-
J finished eating and we went op
: to the room. ." , -c-v-y
- The letter postmarked in Hobokeri
and dated, quite clearly, "Nov. 12,
1914" would have been enough to
knock Morin's claim Into .. forty
cocked hats. It was addressed to
Nola Lutzmann at a place in New
York that was once one of a row of
cheap rooming houses. At this time
forty-story block was there.
It was in the same queer hand-
writing as the letter purporting to
be from Mrs. Felder to Nola Morin
telling her she was Gerard Moa-
tieth's daughter. ... - --;
"Dear Nola.t read. "Your little
Nola sends so much lofe to her ma
ma, wit thanks, and . wit kiss, for
the Iof ely waxen dolly for her three
years birthday. It comes joost on
time for the ten oz the month."
There was a great deal more,
tome of importance, as proof of
Morin's attempted trickery, much
that was of no importance; but just
that touch would, have been suffi-
.eient. . . . .:
Three years back from Novem
ber, tenth, 1914, would have been
- wben, SaUy?" I cried. . r ;
"November ten, 1911, can
you
- "When Nola Lutxmann got to this
country with Mr. Montieth and Mr.
and Mrs. Stapleton, it was May,
early in May, 1911. Mrs. Stapleton
is quite positive of this and has
plenty ef proof. -
, Aid so" Sally counted on her
. fingers, woman-like. -
. "And so," I said, "since Montieth
never saw Nola Lutzmann until the
'first week in May, this Nola Morin
is the daughter of the husband Nola
Lutzmann ran away from well, at
.least, she isn't Montieth's daugb-
ter." , . - . ;
- "That's so. HarW." -
."They forged the: letters -and
. dates, made it appear that Morin
was born on February . 10, 1912;
. .which nicely pinned the parentage
cn ilontieth as much aa it can be
pinned en any man."

"Now," Sally said, "if you can
clear up the murder as thoroughly
as you have cleared this, all will be
well."
I was going through the other
papers and -letters. Some had be-
cnged to Mrs. Lutzmann and some
to her sister, Mrs. Felder. Why both
should in the box in Mrs. Felder s
attic. I wasn't certain, but decided
that Mrs. Lutzmann might have
gone back to her sister's when she
had her last sickness, bringing her
belongings with her.
When, next day, Mrs. Stapleton,
myself, and the green box arrived at
Judge Wentworth's office, there was
considerable excitement as well as
rejoicing.
We discussed the situation at
length. If Nola Morin and Wilbur
ellows were prosecuted, there
would be the publicity that Mrs.
Stapleton wanted to avoid. We sent
for Mary and, for the first time, ac
quainted her with what Nola Morin
was attempting to do. She was al
most overcome with amazement and
horror. She was even more anxious
than Mrs. Stapleton to avoid pub
licity.
The thing to do. if possible." I
pointed out, "is to get Morin here
without arousing her suspicions,
and to keep Fellows under watch
constantly. If that .won't work, we
can force them to come here to
gether." -
Then what?" Judge Wentworth
asked.
If they will sign a complete con
fession we can let them go. If not,
we shall have to lock them up."
"They wui sign. They wouldn't
dare let It go to court," the Judge
agreed.
Nola Morin expects to hear from
you quite soon; she won't stay op in
Atlantic City for long. I will ret in
touch with Phil at once, also with
Sergeant Harper," I told them.
An hour later I was with Ser
geant Harper, explaining the whole
situation.
"The thing to do." he decided, "is
to go after them now. If they get
back home, discover that someone
haa taken the box of evidence, they
"We wouldn't mind that if we
were sure they'd never trouble u,
aergeanc-
. "Better not take a chance."
I telephoned Phil and learned that
Morin and Fellows were still there.
t It was easier than I thought it
would be. sergeant Harper, with
one of his men, went along with me
up to Atlantic City and we sur
prised them in their hotel room.
Their attempted bluff didn't last
two minutes. Morin was rather cool

Smiths Have Visitors
KIXGWOOD Visitors at the
J. B. Smith home Friday were
Mrs. Louise P e a r c e and her
brother-in-law, Donald Coon of
Corvallis. Mrs. Pearce who is a
niece of Mrs. Smith, is a nurse
in the Corvallis General hospital.
In custody' in an outer office while
we had our session with Nola Morin.
When, at Judge Wentworth's re
quest, I brought out the little
green wooden box, . Nola's eyes
fairly popped. We had not told them
about this.
"It's all off," she said, "what's the
use? What are you going to do with
me?"
"Let both of you go, if you will
sign a confession," the judge as
sured her. Naturally we did not let
her know that she was to be kept
right in Greatport, nnder strict sur
veillance until we had solved the
murder mystery, or, at least, until
we had seen Professor Lardeau and
satisfied ourselves that he was,' or
was not, guilty of the crime.
Mrs. Stapleton was present but
Mary didn't care to be there.
Now, first of all, Miss Morin-"
I am Mrs. Fellows, Judge. That
is on the leveL We have been mar
ried more than a year," Nola ex
plained. "Very well, Mrs. Fellows. There
are many things we want cleared
up. In the first place, how did yon
know that your late mother had
been helped to get out of Switzer-
and and away from your father, by
Gerard Montieth?"
'Both my mother and my aunt
often talked about it. I knew that
my real name was Lutzmann and
that mother had given me her maidf
en name of Morin."
"How did it first occur to you to
attempt this claim that Montieth
was your father?"
Nola hesitated and showed her
first real anxiety.
I have your word that yon will
let both myself and'tny husband
go?' '
If you tell the truth and sign a
confession."
"I want to be sure. I don't want
to be let go and have Will held."
"You will have to take our word
for it, Mrs. Fellows. You have no
alternative, either .this; or we prose
cute." "Oh, an right When Aunt Grflda
died Will and I were living in New
York. Will had a small lob and I
worked on a burlesque circuit part
of the time. We went over to Ho-
boken at once. I knew, of course.
that Aunt Gnlda had no other rela
tive. She was always good to me and
I was sure she would leave me the
house, which she did."
"Andthen?"
- "Well, naturally we poked around
to see what we could find. There
might be money tucked away, and
bankbooks."
. "And you found this green box?"
the Judge asked.
." "Yes, but there was nothing but
some old bonnets and bits of silk fa
it. The old letters and things were
in the secretary. You have seen that
letter my mother wrote to Aunt '
GrOda, telling her she had seen Mr.
Montieth in a restaurant where the
was a hat-check girl?"
The Judge nodded. - - - .
Well,-Will became excited lit
once and asked me all about it, which
Montieth, where he lived, and every
thing. I told him air that X knew.

IC, wasn't an ideal day for
golf, but a goodly number of
the physicians and surgeons
who had been attending the 1
state medical society conven
tion here turned out Saturday
afternoon to participate in the
convention tournament on the
Salem Golf club course.
'Due' to the "Oregon mist." no
spectacular scores were turned
in. Dr. D. C. Burkes of Portland
won the big cup which had been
hung up for log gross, turning
in an 84. His low net of 72 was
also good for first place and the
medical kit awarded in that com
petition. Dr. Vern Miller of Sa
lem, with a handicap of 11, shot
a gross of 86 and was second in
both of those contests.
There were also a number of
prizes for closest tee shot to
some of the par three holes,
longest drive and similar marks
of evcellence, which were rath
er widely distributed among
the contestants. Taking it all
together, the tournament was a
success and the visiting med
ical men enjoyed It.
The Salem Golf club's annual
fall tournament is all over ex
cept for the first flight which
has practically not played at all.
We expect they'll get together
in a gangsome the first sunshiny
Saturday or Sunday when there
isn't an all-absorbing football
game conflicting, and get it over
with.

Pitt to Frown on
Athletic Subsidy
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 23 JP)
The University of Pittsburgh an

proper plane in relation to other
college educational activities."
The new policy "reserves the

students with athletic ability on
the same basis such help is giv
en to other university students"
but opposes outright athletic sub
sidies. It also declares after existing
contracts expire, Pitt will play
no more than nine games, but
air with major opponents. Tht
season will not open until the
first Saturday in October begin
ning in 1940 and 'warmup"
games will be eliminated.

Linn Delinquency
Reaches new Low
ALBANY, Oct. 22.-(Jp)-l.i n n
county tax delinquency today
reached a ne,w low so far as the
memory of incumbent officials is
concerned.
Nearly 75 per cent of the 1937
roll has been collected. County
Clerk R. M. Russell said. More
than two months remain before
final payments are due. Last year,
considered exceptional and one
that yielded the county a surplus
of more than $300,000 in all
funds because of lowered delin
quencies, wa3 only 68 per cent
collected on a corresponding date.
The clerk said the 1936 delin
quency Is now leas than 9 per
cent. Linn county has been debt
free for more than a decade, but
its financial condition at the pres
ent time is far better than ever
before, within the knowledge of
the county clerk. 1
