WASHINGTON — The govern-

befall the employer. It is getting
the experience through the U. S
Maritime Commission one of whose
ships sailed squarely into a union

Its all rather involved so listen

Union Trouble
B?ing an empion of seamen
the commission has tangled with
the unions about hiring. Tne un-
ions rla in tlie government ougnt
to hire itorn union hiring hails.
ju>t like tlie private companies
which have signed union contracts;
the commission retorts that it s a
f.:;rd government poucy that mersi-
hrrrhip or non-membership in any
organisation cannot be a precedent
to rnu»lojment by the government.
So the government gets its sea-
men in Hie uld-lashioneri wav—bv
taking them from lists of eligible
seamen m offices of U. S shipping
cerium . toner*
Dominant ceamcn s union on the
ra i icju’ is the CIO National
Maritime Union. It haa agt ecinents
with several shipping companies
under which these companies get
their crr.«s from NMU hiring halls
—union i-ai.ors. When the Mari-
time Commix ion started h.rtng
new. the NMU protested vigorous-
ly Alter a wluir. though it de-
eded to compromise
It had all of its members reg-
iter with tlie U S shippmg com-
nu»aoiier in their respective ports;
vnd ance it ls the fixed policy ol
he Maritime Commission to avoid
discrimination in hirings .it takes its
union and non-union men from the
commissioners' lists in the exact
percentage in which they appear
on the lists That is. if 80 per cent
of the name* on a list are namex of
union men. a skipper hiring a crew
for a Maritime Com mission-pa id
vex?el w ill get 80 per cent union men
and 20 per cent non-union.
No Compromise in West
That is the east coast On the
west coast the dominant union is
the AFL Sailors' Union of the Pa-
cific — Harry Lundbeigs outfit.
Thr union will not accept the com-
promise agreed to by the east coast
un on It u holding out for
straight-out hiring of 100 per rent
union crews through the hiring
All of which brings us down to
date Some time acr the Ameri-
can Mar Lines susp nden its ser-
vice be*wren Seattle and the client.
Since this is one of the ‘essential
trade routes” on the books of the
Maritime Commission it mas up to
the commission to see that it was
serviced A number of vessels are
now under construction for that
route; pending their completion
• some time next yean the commis-
sion allocated the freighters Cold-
brook Satartia Collingsworth and
Capillo to that route to be run by
an operating agent.
At about the time that these
east-coast freighters were picked.
Harry Lundberg came to Washing-
ton. With him came his arch-
enemy. CTO - Longshoremen s boss
Harry Bridges What brought
Bridges along was Lundbergs in-
sistence that his union would pick-
et any west-coast ship which hired
it* crew anywhere but at a union
hiring hall.
That would mean that Bridges
longshoremen would have to pass
through a picket line: so. although
hating Lundberg. Bridges hated the
idea of rra&hing a picket line even
more and came along to lend his
aid to Lundberg. who went before
the M?r.t:me Commission and de-
manded that there freighters rom-
ing to the west coast hire their men
in arrival only from union hiring
hall*.
The Martime Commission turned
him down after extended hearings
The commixxion suggexted that the
east coast practice be followed but
neither Lundberg nor Bridges would
agree In the end they went back
west vowing to toss a picket line
around the first steamer that came
In.
Puzzled ('immisMnn
That \estel is the Coldbrook It
shipped a crew in Norfolk. Vs tor
the trip to Seattle where It begins
its regular assignment. Under the
law. a sailor Is entitled to his fare
back home If paid off at a port
other than the one where he origi-
nally shipped; therefore such of
the Coldbrook's crew as do not elect
to ship for the voyage arrosa the
Pacific will get their tram fare
back to Norfol|c.
Meanwhile. Lundberg and Bridges
arch-rivals in even thing are stand-
ing together to Ue up the Cold-
brook unless It hires from the AFL
hiring halls—although it was all
right with the CIO. to which Brid-
ges belongs for the Coldbrook to
sign on its men before a shipping
commissioner in Norfolk. And the
Maritime Commission would like to
know what to do in a case like that.
The word “curfew" cornea from
“couvre-feu." or “cover fire" and
dates back to the tune when each
householder covered his fire at a
certain time every evening.

Although ulcer of the stomacn
haa been repeatedly discussed in
these columns a reader from Ala-
bama requests an article on ulcers
of the stomach ov duodenum dis-
In one of our latest clinics one-
half the men past 40 years of age
*ho complained ol indigestion and
dyspepsia were found to have ulcers
of teh stomach or duodenum dis-
ease of the gallbladder and in a
few instances even cancer. Women
who suffered with dyspepsia or
indigestion were Sound to be suf-
fering in two instances out ol ev-
ery five either w*h disease of the
gallbladder ulcer t of the stomach
or in some instates with cancer.
The exact causes of ulcers of the
stomach is not known There seems
to be some evidence to the effect
that they are so mr times associated
»ith infections at the roots of the
teeth or with infections in the
tonsils or the si«ruses. Sometimes
an ulcer of the Momach is asso-
ciated with a disturbance of the
appendix or of thr gallbladder.

One of the moat common condi-
tions associated iwith ulcers is
an excess amount) of acid coming
into the stomach *with the gastric i
juice. Because of thia people
frequently have burning sensa-
tions. Sometimes > sour material
passes up from tile stomach into
the throat causing fa sour taste and
burning sensation. These are the
people who like Uo take large
amount of baking soda in order
to overcome the aicidity.
j They should ^alise. however
that taking baking} soda for symp-
toms of this type is like pouring
water on a fire be|l when the fire
is two blocks down) the street. The
eructation of acid material from
the stomach is a vugn that some-
thing is wrong. The person who
has such symptoms ought to see
a doctor and find out what is
wrong and thua obtain treatment
for the disturbance rather than
for the symptom.

Most of the indigestion cures
that are sold to {people contain
anti-arid substances which cover
up the symptoms. Afnyone ought to
understand that it is exceedingly
dangerous to overtook the pos-
sibilities that an ulcer mav get

due to the ulcer may actually be

There are manv instances in

CHAPTER V
MARY and Jim Chase arrived
at Police Headquarters after
Tom Ladd. Commissioner Fene-
lon had left word for her to come
directly to his office.
She glanced at the big clock in
the white-marble hall. The hour
hand pointed to 3. Tired de-
pressed and apprehensive she
could imagine things closing
ominously in on her and Tom.
Sinister men in shadowy street*
wicked blue steel revolvers. The
dark slick waters of the river
White bodies on cold stone slabs.
Like Black bats these macabre
thoughts ran through her mind as
she climbed the stairs w-ith the
detective. Three o’clock in the
morning was also the ebb hour
for Police Headquarters. A cou-
ple of officers in the mam corridor
watched the door but aside from
them the nails were deserted.
“I’ll leave you here.” Chase
said as the}' reached the third
floor.
Nodding goodby she walked
into the Commissioner’s office.
A low lamp burned over the
big desk. The air was gray with
smoke. Tom sat in his coat and
hat as though he had only just
come in. but the ashes in the little
tray on the desk showed that he
had been there some time. At
sight of Mary he jumped up.
“You’re not hurt?" he asked
anxiously.
“No 1m all right "
He turned. ‘Mis* Franklin this
is Commissioner Fenelon.”
The commissioner was not the
officer of Action. Educated suave
and easy-mannered he was as
Mary knew’ a lightning keen po-
lice officer trained to the job.
“Won’t you sit down. Miss
Franklin. I want to hear more
about the Duke and Nick Hart.
Their actions may have some
bearing on Janice French’! dis-
appearance."
e e e
C’FNFLON was a big fellow over
-*• six feet tall with strong wide
shoulders and a muscular body
He had slate gray eye* that nar-
rowed when he talked and long
sensitive-fingered hands. When
you looked at them you couldn’t
help thinking that they'd close
like steel on anything they
gripped
“Janice’s parent* are frantic
Mary." Ladd said. “They haven’t
seen her since Wednesday."
“She called there yesterday
noon however” interrupted Fene-
lon. "but she didn't say where At
was just said she'd spend the
week-end with them at Tuxedo"
“Did they know of this apart-
ment she kept on East 70th
Street?” inquired Mary.
"No. And I haven't told them
They might lose their heads and
rush to It I want to keep it
clear. I may be able to trap the
Duke with the goods Tell us
what happened to you there.”
Mary repeated the story she
had told Chase building it up with
word sketches of the Dove and
an account of her conversation
with the Duke earlier in the eve-
ning.
"Janice was just a fat juicy
plum for Martin and Hart to
blackmail." said the commis-
sioner. “For that reason I can’t
believe they'd kill the goose that
laid the golden egg. She was
worth more alive."
"But where is she?” asked
Mary.
“Hiding "
Ladd looked thoughtful. "My
guess is that Martin and Hart alao
think she is hiding They’ll give
their boys the high-sign. Then the
Duke will let her know that he’s
got those candid camera shots you
saw tonight. She’ll have to pay
again.”
“Suppose she doesn’t?” Mary
turned to Fenelon
“They’ll take the picture* to her
parents and say they'll be sold to
a tabloid if they don’t come across.
Those fellows are pretty well or-
ganized " The commissioner
touched some papers in front of
him. “Like to see their records?"
• • •
A CARY reached for a report
"*■ marked "Jake Martin alias
The Duke.’" and read: "Bom in
August 1908. in Hell’s Kitchen.
Son of Annie scrubwoman who
worked in the Beaux Arts restau-
rant at 40th street and «th avenue.
“Annie was arrested ten times
for petty larceny. She schooled
her son in the cocaine racket. He
was a good student. His name
didn’t appear on the police blot-
ters until 1924. This was the first
time that the names of Nick Hart
and Bill Condon had been coupled
with his. Mother’s tears are effec-
tive weapons before a Parole
Board. One year after his sen-
tence. Jake Martin was free again.
He and his mother went into the
bootlegging business first in a
modest way above a pool hall on
the comer of 50th street and 11th
avenue later in more elaborate
surroundings on 8th avenue and
53d street.
"Martin became associated with
a dope racketeer named Cokie
Conklin. Only Martin and his old
mother know what happened after
Conklin dined with them the night
Cokie carried $20000 in cash on
his person. Even Conklin cannot
tell; he was never seen again.
After that little wa* heard of
Martin until 19.12. when he started
the Dove with Nirk Hart his gang
lieutenant. Bill Condon was the
bouncer. Annie the scrubwoman
Martin’* mother had disappeared.
Martin was putting on the Ritx.
Gradually he was becoming a
definite character in the night life
of New York. Park avenue began
to patronize his place."
“It was then.” interrupted the
commissioner “that the idea of
blackmail struck the Duke as an
easy racket. He trained Bill to
help frame his customers. Do you
remember the first time the name
of the Dove was sent into the Ga-
zette?"
“About three years ago" said
Mary. “I recall the case—a rich
man who was later divorced. A
candid shot of him taken at the
Dow with a pretty girl came in
with the story. I didn't use it
but the Looking Glass did. When
the man's wife filed suit she
named the girl as corespondent."
• • •
THE ringing of the telephone in-
terrupted them. "What’s that?”
-said Fenelon. "No one in any hos-
pital answering the description of
Janice French’ Try the morgue."
Then to Mary "That man you
spoke of didn’t pay off the Duke.
But for everyone that didn’t there
were a dozen who did. We would
prosecute Martin if we could get
the victims to talk. They lack
courage."
He banged his fist on the desk.
"Even though I know the Duke’s
a crook a murderer and every-
thing else you want to call him
I can't arrest him without evi-
dence. That is where you can help
me. Miss Franklin "
"At least I could describe the
pictures I saw tonight” said Mary.
"That wouldn’t help.” snapped
Fenelon. "If Hart took those snap-
shots of Janice French with him.
there’s nothing we can do on that
score.”
"It wrould be your word against
theirs Mary” broke in Ladd “be-
fore a hipper-dipper Judge and
with the best lawyer in town
smearing you "
A knock punctuated Ladd’s sen-
tence. “Come In.” called Fenelon.
An officer stepped in. "Tha
Morgue's reported the body of a
young girl dragged from the East
River near Beekman Place sir.”
Fenelon and Ladd stared at one
another. "She's dead?" cried
Mary.
"Yes. They put It down as sui-
cide ”
“Could you Identify Janice
French. Miss Franklin’”
"I ought to be able to. I’ve been
following her six weeks ”
The commissioner picked up his
telephone. "Call the car ” Then
to Mary and Ladd. "Let’s go.”
