LARGE INDUSTRIES ABLE TO WEATHER

RAILROAD WALKOUT (By Associated Press) CHICAGO. Oct. 17. A railroad strike would have little immediate effect on the average large industry of the middle West, but would result in closing down all of the packing plants within three weeks and undoubtedly would force many small factories to close, representatives of some of the chief industries of this region said last night. Tentative plans were being drawn up through which It was said Chicago and the larger cities could be kept

supplied with most food commodities, although it was believed that meat supplies would run short quickly, the packers asserting that their stocks on hand are smaller than in many years. An official of one packing concern said that the meat packers had been operating at only 25 per cent normal strength for more than a year and that as they were entirely dependent on the transportation systems, they could not operate during an effective rail

road strike. Approximately 75,000 men would be thrown out of work through closing of the big five packing plants, officials Bald, although in normal times the number would have been much larger. Larger Industries Safe George R. Meyercord, president of the Illinois Manufactuers' association, said reports he had received indicated that the larger industries would have no trouble in operating in spite of a

railroad strike. "There would be no general tie-up of industry." he said. "Most of the larger industries have been operating on a greatly reduced scale, and have an abundance of raw material on hand. I have received many reports today from factories saying that, they would go right ahead with their, work and store their output. "Only the small hand-to-mouth man

ufacturer would be hurt. Most of

them would have to close their plants." John W. O'Leary, ex-head of the Chicago Chamber cf Commerce and a

member of the board of directors of

half a dozen of the larger central

Western industries, also predicted that a strike would not seriously hamper the big industries. John M. Glenn, secretary of the Illi

nois Manufacturers' association, said that he would immediately warn all manufacturers to start storing supplies of coal, as a coal shortage was the only real danger to industry that he could see in the proposed strike. Coal Supplies Low "Coal supplies in this section are considerably lower than they were at this time last year," Mr. Glenn said. "Only a shortage of coal could force a majority of our industries to close, and we will immediately start laying in supplies in preparation for a railroad strike." , Automobile dealers said their business might even fie increased by a strike through consequent increased demand for cars. Machines would be transported by their own power, it was said.

The Resident Patient

By SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE Copyright. 1921, by Harper & Bros. Published by special arrangement with The McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

In glancing over the somewhat incoherent series of Memoirs with which I have endeavored to illustrate a few of the mental peculiarities of my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I have been struck by the difficulty which I have experienced in picking out examples which shall in every way answer my purpose. For in those cases in which Holmes has performed some tour de force of analytical reasoning, and has demonstrated the value of his peculiar methods of investi

gation, the facts themselves have often been so slight or so commonplace that I could not feel Justified in laying them before the public. On the other hand, it has frequently hap

pened that be has been concerned in some research where the facts have been of the most remarkable and dramatic character, but where the share which he has himself taken in determining their causes has been less pronounced than I. as his biographer, could wish. It may be that in the business of which I am now about to write the part which my friend played is not sufficiently accentuated; and yet the whole train of circumstances is so remarkable that I can

not bring myself to omit it entirely

from this series.

It had been a close, rainy day In October. Our blinds were half-drawn.

and Holmes lay curled upon the sofa

reading and rereading a letter which he had received by the morning post. For myself, my term of service in India had trained me to stand heat

better than cold, and a thermometer ot 90 was no hardship. But the paper

was uninteresting. Parliament bad

risen. Everybody was out of town, and I yearned tor the glades of the New Forest or the shingle of Southsea. A depleted bank account had caused

me to postpone my holiday, and as to my companion, neither the country nor the sea presented the slightest attraction to him. He loved to lie in

the very center of five millions of

peopie, wun nis maments stretching

out and running through them, res ponslve to every little rumor or sus picion of unsolved crime. Apprecia

tion of Nature found no place among his many gifts, and his only change was when he turned his mind from the evid-doer of the town to track down his brother of the country. Finding that Holmes was too ab

sorbed for conversation, I had tossed aside the barren paper, and leaning

J back in my chair, I fell into a brown study. Suddenly my companion's

voice broke in upon my thoughts. "You are right, Watson," said he. "It does seem a very preposterous way of settling a dispute." "Most preposterous!" I exclaimed, and then suddenly realizing how he had echoed the inmost thought of my soul, I sat up in my chair and stared at him in blank amazement. "What is this. Holmes?" I cried. "This is beyond anything which I could have imagined." He laughed heartily at my perplexity. "You remember," said he, "that some little time ago, when I read you the passage in one of Poe's sketches, in which a close reasoner follows the unspoken thoughts of his companion, you were inclined to treat the matter

then again, your face grew sadder; you shook your head. You were dwelling upon the sadness and horror and useless waste of life. Your hand stole toward your own old wound, and a smile quivered on your lips, which showed me that the ridiculous side of this method ot settling

thing you expressed incredulity." "Oh, no!" "Perhaps not with your tongue, my dear Watson, but certainly with your eyebrows. So when I saw you throw down your paper and enter upon a train of thought. I was very happy to have the opportunity of reading it off, and eventually of breaking into it, as

a proof that I had been in rapport

with you.

But I was still far from satisfied. In the example which you read to

me, said I, the reasoner arew nis conclusions from the actions of the

man whom he observed. If I remember right, he Etumbled over a heap of stones, looked up at the stars, and

so on. But I have been seated quietly in my chair, and what clews can I have given you?"

"You do yourself an Injustive. The features are given to man as the means by which be shall express his

emotions, and yours are faithful ser

vants. "Do you mean to say that you read my train of thoughts from my features?" "Your features, and especially your eyes. Perhaps you cannot yourself recall boy your reverie commenced?" "No. I cannot." "Then I will tell you. After throwing down your paper, which was the action which drew my attention to you, you sat for half a minute with a vacant expression. Then your eyes fixed themselves Upon your newlyframed picture of General Gordon, and I saw by the alteration in your face that a train of thought had been started. But it did not lead very far. Your eyes turned across to the unframed portrait of Henry Ward Beech-

er which stands upon the top of your

books, xou then glanced up at the wall, and of course your meaning was

obvious. You were thinking that if

the portrait were framed it would just j cover that bare space and correspond

with Gordon's picture over there." j "You have followed me wonderfully!" I exclaimed. "So far I could hardly have gone astray. But now your thoughts went back to Beeche-. and you looked hard across as if you were studying the character in bis features. Then your eyes ceased to pucker, but you continued to look across, and your face was thoughtful. You were recalling the incidents of Beecher's career. I was well aware that you could not do this without thinking of the mission which he undertook on behalf of the North at the time of the Civil War, for I remember you expressing your passionate indignation at the way in which he was received by the more turbulent of our people. You felt so strongly about it that I knew you could not think of Beeeher without thinking of that also. When a moment later I saw your eyes wander away from the picture. I suspected that your mind had now turned to the Civil War, and when I observed that your lips set, your eyes sparkled, and your hands clinched. I was positive that you were indeed thinking of the gallantry which was shown by both sides in that desperate struggle. But

"Absolutely!" said I. "And now that you have explained it, I confess that I am as amazed as before." "It was very superficial, my dear Watson, I assure you. I should not have Intruded it upon your attention had you not shown some incredulity the other day. But the evening baa brought a breeze with it. What do you say to a ramble through London?"

I was weary of our little sitting-

kaleidoscone of life as it ebbs and

flows through Fleet "Street and the Strand. His characteristic talk, with its keen observance of detail and subtle power of inference, held me amused and enthralled. It was ten o'clock before we reached Baker street again. A brougham was waiting at our door. Tomorrow "The Resident Patient" continued.
