Ward Co. Plants Back To Company Chairman Continues To Defy Government Chicago. Oct 19— (Vi—Montgomery Ward and Co properties in seven cities were back under private management today, signalling renews! of a longstanding dispute between the company and the CIO which twice led to government eelsure. The army officially relinquished control at midnight last night, and the transfer took place without Incident. Even In-fore soldiers had finished moving out their equipment Sewell L. Avery, militant chairman of the Ward* board of directors, reiterated the company'* refusal to yield to union demand* for maintenance of membership and checkoff, grunted during the army's occupation. A notice |x»ted by tbe company announced that "the requirements of compulsory maintenance of union menberahip and checkoff of union due* were terminated when properties were returned by the army, which had imposed the*e illegal requirements." No immediate statement was forthcoming from the mail order, warehouse and retail employe* union (CIO), whose member* had voiced their Intention of striking] if the contract demands were not met. The - ompany's refusal to comply with a war labor board directive granting the disputed provisions precipitated seizure of IS Ward propertie* Dec. 2k, 1944. A similar dispute resulted iu the twoweek long seizure from Apni 25, 1944, Io May 9. 1944. wheu the department of commerce took over operation of the mail order buoin>«*.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE r THE NEXT few weeks pMMd ao quickly Terry wee ehocked one day as she stopped a moment at Sandy's offles and her eys caught a calendar on ths walk ‘ It can't be!" st-«a fairly shrieked. "You mean to say it's only one more day before the convention starts in Buenos Aires?" Bandy looked up from his desk and smiled his amusement "Stoss ye, Miss Terry, I didn't make the i ntends*- I only go by it and, strangely enough, 1 find that It’S] always right." 1 must be getting senile,” Terry laughed. “They used to accuse! tne back in New York of not knowing what day it was, but at least I always knew the month." "I don't aee how ye even know that," Sandy nodded, "the way ye and the aenora have been working on those houses these past few weeks.”
-We Have worked” Terry ’ agreed, "but it hasn’t seemed like wort It’s been such fun." Sandy looked thoughtful. "I • sometimes wonder If these peons ’ appreciate all the Kimberlya art I doing for ’em. And always have done for ’em as long as I've been here." 1 -I don’t think you’d have any doubt Os it.” Terry said, "K you’d worked with them like we have for weeks. They’re like little children. Everything delights them. Every time we put up a fresh curtain or even drive a tack in the waH to hang a picture, you’d think we were performing a miracle." -I know that, child,” Sandy said. "And Mill—" "Tou're thinking of the workeia* organisation Y” I Bandy admitted that bo hadn’t thought eg much else for weeks. 1 think there's only one answer to that," Terry said with convic- | Sandy looked interested. In their hearts I know the peons love the Kimbertys. I know, too, that they are a peace loving people. Whatever their actions have been, it has been from some outside influence based, X think, on threats and fear. They’re simple-minded, childish rebUy.Jtod could easily be in”1 stopped in at the taberna tn the village last night to have a beer," Sandy said. "Dawsm was there from VUtoso ostancia. He says that they’re havin' trouble with their peons, tea He'd talked to three other maynrdomoa and they ail Mid the same thing." 1 "It must be a Me orrarjxatioft.’’

Terry said with awe. •That's what worries me. If it were just some small local trouble I’m sure we could dean it out in no time, but if it's nationwide, that's goto* to be another story." Terry glanced at the wall clock, “My stars, is that right, a quarter after three?" she wailed. Sandy laughed. "I'm afraid It’s an right as the calendar. Ye redly do have a time—with time." Terry pulled on her gloves. "They're bringing the first load led stoves out from Buenos Aires I thia afternoon. I told Jime l‘d supervise the installing." I "1 saw a truck turn in the gate about a half hour ago," Sandy said. "They headed west on the section I road."
‘‘Oh—oh! I*ll bet he's calling me all kinds at cute names by now." Terry saw the large tniek parked under a tree as she hurried down the dirt road. Rhe could see the white porcelain of the stoves I steaming where the tarpaulin had I been blown aside by ths wind. From cottage to cottags they **nt. the men lugging the stoves into the bright mw kitehens. Terry telling them where they were to be seL It I was dinner time before ths last Istove had been placed and the I truck had rumbled away. I That night, Jime sat across the | coffee table from Terry, surrounded Iby a litter of newspapers partly cut to threds. On her lap a large scrapbook laid open. Glue and setai aors were ctoee at hand.
“Either Brooks will have to quit I making speeches or I'U have to get | another scrapbook,” Mm said with • pleased gleam in her eye. “Is that the last page’’’ Terry asked. “Tea, and I have enough dip-1 pfoga to fill it** “You might as well order another om right now,** Terry suggested. “After he'a in office there still will I be press notices galore.** "And I'll keep everyone of them." I Jime said. "I have clippings about j Brooks in <m old scrapbook up-1 stairs that begin with his birth no* I ties." "I think that’s such a nice hob- | by," Terry said. ! When the telephone rang Terry hesitated g moment before vrowtejj | to the deik' to answer. Jime knew what she was thinking. Recalling the night Brooks had celled a few weeks ago. "11l gat ft.” she said, 'feinting back to Jime. "It's for you. l I think it's R«ue calling from the cityi” f I Jime listened a tong time, only IgoWaw ta an eetariiaal word.
• Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LU J Q When a man who is a strung er has rendered a service to a woman. should she a*tk for his name and address? A. Not unless the service has been very exceptional and she wishes to «end him a reward. Q. Which is the correct form, "I want to see you'., or, "I wisli Io see you"? A. "I wish to see you ’ is correct. Wish expresses desire, want implies lack. Q How should one ares* for a ball? A A bail requires the most formal of evening dress. and plates were fabricated in Scotland. shipped to Bath, Me. where • mistruction of the hull was supervised by the d-«igner. The ship was the victim of a German submarine In 1917.
When she hung up and eame hack to her chair she wm laughing. “Roxie's wild," she said, chuckling. “She's furious with Artigns. Raya he's been neglectlpg her again!" "Poor Roxie," Terry toughed. Shs has a terribte time finding playmate* to a busy world." “Rhe said that since this trouble has come up among the peuna, Artigax has been working day and night to get at tbe bottom at it To put it in her words, she said he’d been trailing about with his deteotives trying to smell out a clue. All he needs, she said, is a curved pipe and a checked hunting cap to be the perfect Sherlock Holmes — and she didn't mind telling me shs made a heck of a Dr. Watson."
Terry laughed, then abruptly turned serious. “1 hope they do get at ths bottom of that fiendmh scheme," rile said. *T certainly hope so, too," Jims reeponded. About 10 o'clock Jime put the last clipping in her scrapbook and .-suggested that they go up to bed. They went, but after Terry was to her room and partly undressed she decided that sleep was out of the question. She quickly slipped back down the dimly lighted hall. Rhs went out the side door from the living room into the night. The sharpness in ths night air felt good ta her lungs as she headed towsrd the rid obMrvatory. The sky was thick with stars. She had but «»r thought to mind—tbe last chapter trf her novel. 8M knew it was going to be a hard one to write. Toe hero had to get his heroine If the hero had only not been Brooks and tbe heroine Corinne.
She cHmbed stealthily up the jstona stops in the dark, feeling bet i way as she went Once in the tower room she found the light quickly. Her hands trembled ae she threaded a blank sheet of paper into het typewriter. She started to write On and on her fingers Sew. Then she stopped and gathered up tbs I pages ahe had written. Bhe read I them over hurriedly—they were horrible. She crampted them tato a I batt and flung them into the comer. I She tried again and again, but H I was always the same.
