A poulloss corporation sotting nt

working lad of over a third of his
meagro earnings no that arbitrary
rules might bo observed Is tho story
of llttlo Al. Gnfferty's dealings with
tho Wostorn Union Tolegrnph Com
pnny, nt Portland.
Tho boy who was employed in tho
messongor department of tho com
pany when his companions decided to
strike for higher wages, determined
thnt ho would not be n "scab," and
accordingly wnlkea uut with them.
When tho youngster, who Is one of
tho smallest messengers In tho city,
wont to draw hi monoy for labor
performed tho previous week, ho was
fined two dollars for falling to roport
on Sunday and forty cents additional
for not turning in his badge on time.
Instead of the hIx dollars to which
ho was Justly entitled and for which
he had labored, Gafferty was handed
$3. GO.
Tho boy, whose earnings contrib
ute to tho support of a family, was
heartbroken ovor tho loss, but real
ized that ho, a tiny lad.could not
hopo to copo single-handed with nn

Graves happened to be in tho ofllco
at the tlmo and gave tho youngster
a noto to Manager Kumars of tho

Receiving no satisfaction from the
company's representative, Gafferty
at last laid his caso beforo Patrol

duty on Third and Stark streets.
Durko called on Manager Dumars
with tho request that Gafferty be
given a "square deal."
"That's not tho law," he said.
"You can't hold out tho money from
tho boy."
"Look at thoeo rules up there,"
replied Pumara, pointing to a pla
