The workers were satisfied With
their wages and working conditions
but union leaders, tnost of whom
were not employees of the shipbuilding
plant, insisted that every
worker Who failed to pay dues to

the company.
The strike was not on behalf of

Meanwhile Jill's younger sister

The dance was on in full swing
at the fraternity house. Ann tried
to appear casual about' her newfound
glory as Queen of the Carvinal,
but Mickey Allen realized

"Aren't you going to introd
that it had quite gone to her
>ead. He realized it better than
vcr when she permitted the dashing
Count Eric Von L,undborg to
cut in on their dancing tor the
fourth time.
In matters of romance the Count
was not one to let grass grow
wilder hie feet. He informed the
breathless Ann, almost giddy with
the excitement of the evening,
that he had found out about a
y.-ifectly lovely Intimate little road
house across the river. She was
ready to go there with him..;
And after that?
"We can keep right on going."
said Eric smoothly. "My boat
doesn't sail until Tuesday.,.Even
that doesn't have to be the! Rid,"
fthe smiled up at him warmly as
they danced.
When Ann went to the Improvised
powder room she was
oiled to the telephone. Jill was
??01ing her from the station to
congratulate her on having won
the crown of Snow Queen.
"Goodbye, darling. You can come
*??er and visit me in Europe next
simmer, If you're a good girl."
"If I'm not," boasted Ann flippantly,
"1 can get ' there before
That, You might even find me
waiting on the dock." She proceeded
to tell her sister, half Joking,
half boasting, about her "conquest"
of Count Von Lundborg.

Jill remonstrated, pleaded, threatened.
but it was no use. "Thanks,
but I'm not going to be a rookie
forever," concluded Ann ? "and
T don't need any more advice than
roc did.. .Goodbye ? Eric's waiting
tot me. Have fun."
Jill frantically rang another

"Boy! Oet a toad of that!"

LOOKING FOR TMtIR FUNDS
Max Caldwell, as head of the Chicago
Retail Clerks Union, collected
$910,000 over a period of four years
but when he was recently ousted as
' treasurer. $60 was found in the treas
.ury.
The confiding members, aroused
by that discovery, secured the legal
right to drill open Caldwell's safe
deposit box and found therein $30.
000 in jewelry and documents relating
to the purchase of $25,000 In
deal estate, but most dt Fhe funds
of the union have disappeared. |
There were records of the purchase i
by Caldwell, of a $45,000 mansion in
Florida. His sulary was $125. per
week.
It is the old. old story of trusting
souls' turning over funds without
requiring bonds or' safeguards..
If some unions In the South would
suddenly cull for an accounting or
require ' those who collect funds to1
furnish bonds, as is done in the business
world. some other empty
treasudies might be discovered. ?j

Jill, having changed bach to her
