BEGIN HERE TODAY Clare Jewett, in love with the Rev. Daniei Gilchrist, marries Jerry Goodkind for his money. Daniel is dismissed from the fashionable Church of the Nativity in New York because of his radical sermons. Gilchrist Is sent to the coal mines by Goodktnd senior and wires that a big strike is settled. A delegation of strikers comes north to interview the president and directors. They meet in Jerry's home. The three strikers, meeting three carefully groomed men in evening clothes in the pretentious library of the man of wealth, feel disturbed by the surroundings. Clare is angry because her dinner party is interrupted. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY mHERE was none of this Uncertainty about Umanski. lie stood with folded arms just a step within the room. A giant Pole he was, with massive frame. It was a frame that would have carried ample weight, hut It did not. Whatever might have been there had been starved off. He was all bone and brawn. His face was tense and earnest—something about it ruggested a grim kind of poetry that bad been born of suffering. "You said you be ui sidewalk," he laid, turning to Stedtman. Max

And a couple 9' directors. Well, now we can get town to business." Goodklnd had bowed at the introluction. Then, picking up a flashy numldor, he advanced to the three. “Smoke?” he queried amiably but abruptly. He held the humidor before Hennig, who helped himself with an air of suspicion. Stedtman reached over boldly and took a cigar. Goodkind moved on to Umanski with the humidor. As he held It out the Pole (taxed past him and made no move.

It is excellent to strengthen the system and help to perform its 'unctions with ease and regularity.

Goodklnd looked at him strangely and returned the box to the table. Hennig, feeling a little more important with a big cigar in his mouth, broke the ground of discussion. “I guess you know all about our grievances.” he blustered with an air of significance. “I didn’t know you had any,” returned Goodkind suavely. “You didn’t know we had any—” Joe didn't understand the employers’ approach. “Ah, you fellows are never satisfied,” Benfield broke in warmly. “You’re getting plenty for what you o,” Goodkind followed up. “What are you complaining about? You’ve left good jobs to follow a lot of idle, discontented agitators. We've got to win this fight on principle. The work is there. I pay what I can get men for. and not a cent more. Take It or leave it.” “We got to hang together to get anything,” retorted Joe. “You're hanging—and what have you got?” Goodkind had centered on Hennig, but it was Umanski who answered. Still standing quietly with arms folded, his voice was as unemotional a shis pose. “I work twelve hours—every day—thirty years—got nothing,” he said brokenly. “Why should you have.” broke in Benfield. “An untrained man—” Jerry had been surveying the proceedings scornfully. He broke his silence now, sneeringly. “You don’t even know English,” he said derisively. “How I gonna learn English—work twelve hours a day?” Umanski’s query was pathetically earnest. “Nobody asked you to take the job.” Jerry flung. “Nobody asked you to come over here. You're not an American." Umanski straightened quickly at this remark. “I was an American,” he paid with a strange dignity. “When?" sneered Jerry. “When I fight in the war.” Goodkind senior had turned to Umanski now. “What do you want?” he asked interested. “I wanna chance to learn,” replied the stark figure, “and a chance to live. I wanna chance to see—sun.” “Your son?" asked Goodkind, mistaking the word. “God’s sun.” replied Umanski. “I never see him. Go to mines—him not up. Work in mines—him not see. Go home —him gone. Got baby five years ago. Never see him. Go to mines—him not up. Come back—him sleep. Go one day—him gone.” “Dead?”-- Goodkind’s face took on gravity. “My wife say: ‘Good.’ Not such many to feed." Hennig, easily swayed, had caught something of Umanski’s note of protest. “It ain’t fair,” he whined. Jerry, apparently uninterested, drew out his clgaret case, a lavishly engraved affair, and took out a clgaret. Suddenly Umanski lost his stoll eism and, unfolding his long strong arms, crossed with rapid strides to the younger Goodkind’s side. “That little box —” he shouted. “What you pay for him?” He pointed to the clgaret case. Jerry, anticipating. turned his back on the burning eyes of the man, not deigning to answer. “I know.” said Umanski. “Gold. You pay more for him than I got for swing pick thirty years. Me and six families—we live In one house you own. We got one room upstairs, two down cellar. Sleep there. Eat—cook wash upstairs. See nothing but brick yard and clothes hang up to dry. Wife—she carry water from yard. Me—l carry potato peeling out front. Him rot. If I don’t like that, I quit—and starve.” “You want to live on Fifth Ave. f ” said Jerry disgustedly. “If like, other mans will,” continued Umanski, unmindful. "Other mans take my job. I got little girl 20 years old. Awful nice little girl. Got gold hair. Got blue eyes. Her take sick. She sorry she’s sick.” His eyes went far away—looking tack perhaps to two cellar rooms and a yard with clothes hung up to dry, and beyond that into the dank darkness of a mine. "She wanna go church. She ask me; ‘Pop. buy me pretty new dress for church. Buy me pretty pink dress. Where I get him? We hire doctor once and he say: ’Air-sun-shine—milk—eggs? Got no job. My little girl, she cough—and cough—and one night sl/e die.” He straightened now to his full height. “I tell you we git right to quit,” he said feverishly. "We got right to hang -together. We got right to fight to live—and, by God, we gonna ■ ght we gonna live—we gonna—by God.” There came a sudden blare of music and ripples of laughter as the door to the music room opened and Dilly Gilliam hurst in upon the tense peroration of this creature bounded by memories. “Now, look here, J-es*:y, you're not going to—” Dilly began. Then she raw that she had interrupted. “I m sorry,” she said haltllngly. Umanski stood looking at her. f-*he was 20! She had gold hair! She had blue eyes! She had a pink dress! Umanski stretched two trembling arms toward her. then brought them ! rck to cover his face. Haunted and helpless he sank into a chair. CHAPTER X A Substitute A heavy pall descended upon the room. Somehow, all felt the grim tragedy that phantom figures had reenacted in this man’s sou' Stedtman swayed a moment between two loyalties and then walked to the chair in which Umarski hudd'ed. ooweS and quaking, and put an arm around the man. Goodkind took a step nearer and looked down at the broken figure sympathetically. Jerry alone seemed not to min ’. “Ycyi’ll have to wait, Dilly,” he said to the girl with still a trace of his petlance in his tone. “Ask the ladies to stay in the drawing room,” the elder Goodklnd said. “We’ll join them In a few minutes.” Dilly did not fathom it all, but she

i &and a feeling- that somehow -she was to blame. “Yes—certaintly,” she said nervously. “I’m so sorry.” And she was gone. Umanski heard the closing door and looked after her. Stedtman, his arm still arohnd the man, signaled Goodkind to go on. “I think we’d better let this go for tonight,” the president said, shaking his head at Stedtman. Umanski was on his feet in an instant. “No,” he said, half-apologetically. "Me—l’m all right. Excuse.” "You’re a little upset,” 3aid Goodkind soothingly, “and I have guests. Besides Gilchrist will be here in half an hour and I wsnt to talk to him before I say anything definite. Suppose we meet here tomorrow at noon.” Hennig had stirred at the mention of Gilchrist’s name. "Not Gilchrist,” he protested churlishly. “No, just we six,” assented Goodkind “ —and maybe one or two more of our directors.” "All right,” said Stedtman, seeing it was his business to agree. Umanski had assumed his firm, stoical position again. “I wanna know what we gonna do —tonight,” he said emphatically. “We’re going to get together,” said Goodkinti. with a confident smile. “You fellow have got the wrong idea. Wa’ re not tyrants or monsters. Wfe’re Christians and we want to act like Christians. Only—We’ve got to live, too. We’ve got to have tho things we’re used to, just as you have.

Umanski stood there with his eyes still on Goodkind. The president shifted a bit, then turned to Hennig. attempting to free himself of the Pole’s gaze. "You live in Black River?" he asked by way of making conversation. “Yes,” said Joe, flattered at the attention. “Married?” “You betcha,” Hennig answ'ered with a flare of pride. "Prettiest girl In West Virginia. Been married a year. Got her in the five and ten.” (Continued in Our Next Issue) Play copyrighted, 1833, in the United States and .-’ngland.
