into bits. She gazed down at it|*
dazedly. It was like her own world —the world that had always been so beautiful and safe. Smashed into broken pieces. “But what, Claire?” he persisted. “You know I'm crazy about you and want you to marry me. Why won't you say you will? You're the loveliest girl I've ever known—and the coldest. Can't you like me a little, dearest?” ; Claire looked regretfully at him.

She hurried to the girl and put her arms about her, every inch of her rugged gauntness bristling with maternal protectiveness. “Tell Hannah all about it now, child.” She smoothed Claire’s rum‘pled curls as she had done years before when she. was nurse to the motherless little girl. “Any one been pesterin’ you?” She poked her 10 a belligerent angle, her eamed, weather-beaten face glar-

You know uncle had some wonderful stones. He was an authority on such things and bought them all over the world on his various travels. But he was always boasting about his “Jewel of the Rockies,’ as he called it. “He spoke of it again as he lay dying.

In order that the employees and tHe public may know the position of the Steel Industry in the face of the threatened drive, the Industry makes this ‘statement through the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Persons and organizations not con‘nected with the Industry have taken charge of the campaign. ; There are many disturbing indications that the promoters of the campaign will employ coercion and intimi-

~ The cbiective: of the campaign is the ¥closed shop,” which prohibits the employment of anyone not a union member. The Steel Industry will oppose any attempt to compel its employees to join a union or. to pay tribute for the right to work. No employee in the Steel Industry has to join any organization to get or hold a job. Employment in the Industry does not depend upon membership or non-. membership in any organization. . Advancement depends on individual merit and effort. These are fundamental American principles to ‘which the Industry. will steadfastly adhere,
