BUSINESS MEN, as wall as in-

because they believe every resident
of the area Will suffer severe loss
if the men at Baytown are called
off the job.
They are for the union. Every:

the workmen means larger pur-
chasing power and better business
for them, and, above all, a chance
for each workingman to enjoy
more of the beneiits of life. The
business men want the oil work-
ers to receive the highest pay
possible and to enjoy as favorable
working conditions as can be pro-
vided for them.
But these business men believe
there is no need of calling
strike now and destroying the
area where sa many people now
are enjoying a happy and pros-
perous life, with even still better
times in the future forecast.

Humble officials say that if
sufficient number of men walk off
the job Saturday, and the plant’s
operation is imperilled, it will be
closed down.
4 They explain that about half of
the present capacity-business is on
contract for other -oil companies
and that they will lose this busi
ness, gained over long years of
operation ,if the plant closed
en the refinery is put
back jnto operation, there then will
be only enough business for half

say. “
That means conditions such as

Eugene R. Millis
The sudden death in HoustohSaturclaydf Eugene R. Millis, asso-
ciate editor of the Houston Chronicle, robbed Houston, Harris county
and all Texas of a brilliant and yet kindly man. ,, *
Eugene Millis, son 0# a prominent Methodist minister, rapidly was
becoming a power in publk affairs and a power forjjjrod. He thought
dearly, he spoke and wrote pointedly and was straightforward jn »H
his attitudes. He especially was- tolerant of the other man’s views and
beliefs while holding steadfast to his own opinions.
Mr. Millis entered the newspaper business on the old Houston Post!
after he had returned from the war,, although he had experience, on a
small paper operated by his father and on a college‘weekly published
at Rice Institute, where he received his college education.
In those early days he was the .friend of every person in the editor-
ial rooms. The cub reporter told ‘‘Gene’’ his troubles and the city
editor discussed his problems with him. The writer, just in from
running a country weekly and attempting to learn “city ways” often
went to him for information and advice. ’
And no one ever was turned away without valuable counsel and kind-
ly friendship. Many of them even borrowed money and probably some
of them never repaid.
In later years it was newspaper publishers, civic, political and busi-
ness leaders who sought his counsel.
But he still had time to .hear the troubles of the men who worked
with him and of newspaper men out of work and down in their luck.
He always was trying to find a job for one of these, and probably
feeding him' at the same time.
His fellow associates respected his judgment and credited him with
sincerity. ■.». "
The beauty of his writing brought ah ever-widening circle of ad
mirers to him and helped to broaden his Bphere of friendship and in-
fluence, He played an important part politically and Democratic lead
ers sought his help.
He was a devoted husband and father, a loving brother and he held
a place in the hearts of all those with whom he came in contact
his daily living.
The Sun extends sincere sympathey to his grief stricken family and
to his friends.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—The nature of the split in labor’s ranks be-
tween horizontal unionism, Jed by President William Green of the

Declarer’s last diamond was led.
South was helpless. He could take
his last trick whenever he chose.
Then he must lead a club, putting
dummy In with the Ace and allow-
ing it to run off Its remaining good
diamonds.
Just how good North’s opening
bid of a heart game was, is shown
by the fact that he could have ful-
filled his contract, losing a heart
trick, a diamond trick and a club
trick,
The spade contract could have
spade tricks and two club tricks—
had South led a club, instead of a
heart, when South ruffed the dia-
mond.
Strangest of all Is that no men-
tion was made in the “chronicles”
of the fact that West could hav#
made a grand slam at diamonds,
against any defense. North must
have led either * losing heart, «
losing trump or a losing club, and
West could have pulled trumps in,a
single lead. After which he could
discard his club losers on East's
spades.

CHAPTER 45 -
GAY HAD seen the painting of
herself so often that it had grown
meaningless; a mere blending
color and line, on canvas.
Now at the exhibition she saw It
for what it was: the credo of
Mark Vance’s artistic conscience
He had painted his belief that out-
ward beauty should be the sign of
inner loveliness.
With fresh vision, Gay looked at
the portrait from where she stood,
unnoticed, in the doorway. She
could see it clearly. It was a study
in blue tones. In the silvery blue
dress, she sat against a luminous
vuTOo, bjic oat agamoi a iuuuuviw
background of deeper blue, flooded
with radiant sunlight Her eyes,
that gazed out at1 you with appeal-
ing wistfulness, were an amazing,
gentian blue. " ' ” ~7
Mark had succeeded in portray-
ing her poignant beauty—tears be-
hind her eyelids, laughter behind
the tears. He had painted the
enchantment of youth; revealed
youth’s line essence of courage and
confidence. «
For <me long breath, Gay stood
reveling in the exclamations of de-
light and spontaneous pleasure
that broke from every jeholder of
that portrait Mark Vance had
made a sensation. He had painted
his name in Detroit He would be
talked about—successful.
“Gay Elwell!” Marian Wilson,
tall, pillowy, distinctive in severe
white satin, had spied her, and
catching her by the hands hailed
her with a delightful cordiality.
From then on, Gay shared honors
with Mark and Charlotte Vance.
They Introduced her all about
and Gay—to the accompaniment of
muted strains from the stringed
orchestra, the soft tinkle of tea
cups, and the endless buzz of con
versation—talked with everyone
Who claimed her attention, while
the back of her mind was puzzling
where the ’Rankeela’ party was
CONFLICTING PHILOSOPHIES
The impression they give is that they disagree on a question of
policy. .
The A. F. of L’s. policy is one of craft unionism; several entirely
distinct crafts may be employed in a single industry—on one job, in-
deed. They doubtless are mutually friendly but they are independent of
each other except for their A. F. of L, ^Ration.™ * -
Lewis’ contention is that mass production has so scrambled the
trades that respective industries can better be organized in ]toto, re-
gardless of craft lines. - 7 ■
Tps divergence of opinion, to be sure, is on an issue of policy—to
be argued but not viciously fought over.
The real split appears td me to involve a clash between conflicting
labor philosophies—the A. F. of L. philosophy that the A. F. of L. is
interested only in the welfare of highly skilled groups of workers and
the Lewisonian philosophy that ALL labor is labor.
“ARISTOCRACY OF LABOR? “
That is to say: '
A highly skilled craftsman, satisfied with hip pay, hdurs and work-
ing conditions, may be as indifferent to common labor's status as any
greedy capitalist. He will not be indifferent to the interests of his
district has been approv- associated highly skilled crafts; he will regard them as his brethren.
^ -----’*d to be ° “ip—‘-J----
But unorganized, promiscuous labor?
It is quite possible that he will be as careless of it sis a plutocrat.
The I. W. W. was illustrative of this complaint. The iWobblies were
leta bitter against capitalistic oppression than against the “aristocracy
of labor," , ,. ' f. I

when two bandits tried to hold

studio, and made slow progress
through the crush toward the
Vances and Gay.
I Later, when the doctor was tell-
ing them some incident about the
yacht trip, punctuated by his own
hearty laughter andj, occasional
facetious corrections from Mr.
Pennell, Gay saw a well-known
foursome drift in together.

pleasantly, then with a soft, starry
glance at Breck, observed, "The
picture really looks like her,
doesn’t it, darling? Let’s, date
1 Mark right now for a sitting. Of
course not, silly—not together!
.But you in your flying suit—you
i look so adorable in those funny
[clothes—and me—'
Gay^ remembering the details of
her last encounter , with Breck, was
tag the group that still lingered
about hea
The air of complete understand-
ing between Grace and Wayne
brought a painful tightness to
Gay’s throat Then she stormed
inwardly at herself. She had every
reason to believe that their en-
gagement would _ .soon bd an-
nounced. Jean had gathered that
item of social interest in the usual
grape-vine way, from Mrs. Larri-
more’s maid.
Grace paused only long enough
to remark sweetly, “You ought to
scratch Mark Vance’s eyes out,
Miss Elwell. That picture makes
you look years older—don’t you
think so, Wayne?”
An Indifferent shrug answered
her. With hardly a glance" at the.
portrait he said, "I’m no Judge
of pictures.” Then he looked to-
ward Gay and with a lack of ex-
pression in his voice that told of
his complete disregard of her, said,
“Nice to see you again,” With
Grace’s heavily ringed hand on his
arm, he joined Peggy and Breck.
1 Though she wife the center of
that gay gathering, Gay felt
overwhelming sensation of being
utterly desolate. Where was
Christian? Surely he was coming
to the tea! Didfi't she matter to
anyone? .
She was smiling faintly at the
dull joke of some pompous little
man from whose clutches she
couldn’t for the moment escape,
but her eyes had flown to the cor-
sage of roses and forget-me-nots,
which she had placed on a table,
below her portrait When Christian
came—Could she put them on ?
The significance that would Be
behind that simple gesture of pin-
ning on his corsage, made her
heart beat frantically, and her
hands feel Icy cold.
The tea was almost over, and a
mere handful of guests still loi-
tered about the studio, when Peggy
suddenly attracted attention by
raising her hand in Imitation of a
traffic officer: "Red light, every-
body. I guess we’re all friends
here—and of course it Isn’t offi-
cially announced yet, but—” she
broke into confused, laughter, and
she and-Breck kissed.
Over the babble of congratula-
tions and teasing, Gay caught a
drift of chatter.
“You’re sitting for Mark,
Peggy? I’ve made, an appoint-
ment, too!” Gey half turned, and
saw Grace, her arms about the
young fiancee. “And I suppose
