CAPONE CONTROL OF UNIONS SEEN Chicago Paper Says 33 Lahor Groups Are Run by Gangs. Plumbers Fight Hoodlums. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, September 1.—The Tribune said last night that the Capone gang has galned control of 33 Chicago labor unions and has made it so evident that 1t is grasping for others that President | John Coefield of the ' International | Union of Steamfitters and Plumbers has come here to lead a fight against tha hoodlums, The paper said that the Chicago Crime Commission is completing a re- port, estimating that $500,000 a week is wrung from reputable citizens by the gang through its labor racketeering and its program of making small busi- mess men join various organizations under threat of violence When the report is finished, the Trib- une stated the Crime Commission, the “Secret Six,” the Employers’ Association and probably the Better Business Bureau expect to unite in a determined cam- paign to break the underworld grip. The Tribune quoted an un-named member of the Crime Commission as saying: “We find that 90 per cent of the Chicago unions are horestly offi- cered and are fair in all their dealings. But Capone and George Barker now have 5 per cent of the unions in their clutches and nothing but trouble and extortion can be expected from them.” Barker is a notorious gunman and former convict who has been suspected in many killings, including the & The Dagger CHAPTER XXXVL RISEN FROM THE DEAD. AGGER huddled down in her chair, crushed, unbelieving, at Chang's startling words. Two swift steps and Chang was be- side her. “Drink this,” he commanded, and she obeyed him. A moment and her faintness had passed. “Do you mean that, general?” she pleaded. “Yes. He was with me until a few weeks ago.. He escaped out of Russia through Siberia. One of my patrols on the Mongolian border found him, de- lirious, starving. Fortunately. the officer in command knew him. After he had | recovered sufficiently he was brought to my camp and told me his story. He had been unhappy, and when he was taken prisoner by the Germans he de- cided to ‘die’ He exchanged identifi- cation papers with a dead man, and be- came that man. After the German revolution he escaped into Russia. But that is & long story, which he will tell you, himself, perhaps.” “If I ever find him” cried Dagger. | “Why didn’t you tell me this before?” “Chang’s eyes chilled. *“A man must fight for his own land,” he returned implacably. “You had be- lieved him dead. For all I know he may have ceased to love you—if ever he did.” “He never spoke of me?"” she inquired piteously. “He spoke of a wife who did not love | him, and of his unhappiness. He read | in & newspaper that his wife had mar- ried another man, and said that at last fate was on his side. He was dead, and he would remain dead.” Dagger shivered. To have come so | close! And then have missed. But| instantly her thoughts returned to the | gang massacre and the Lingle slaying.

A man is hap- pler with his own people, even If he be ‘dead.’ " “If you had told me that first day.” she rebuked Chang. “By now I might be close to him.” “You have searched for him long” she “What are a few weeks more? fated that you will find him, you will find him. If it is fated that he will love you, he will love you. If fate wills neither"—the narrow eyes flashed— “remember Chang has a destiny for you. | No mean one.” Dagger could only look at him re- proachfully, and he shrugged again. “A man takes what he can, my dear lady,” he said. “Do not be so dis- turbed. And, by the way, treasure that lucky piece I first sent you. It enjoys a notable luck. I picked it up in the Sungfu market when I was & green boy of 16. A month later I committed my first successful robbery. In a year I had my own band. It has been with me ever since. I give it to you in hope that it will work as well in your favor.” “But yourself?” protested Dagger. “You should keep it. And you have given me so much.” | “So little compared with my desire,” | Chang replied. “No, please favor me by keeping it—at least, as an earnest l,ha(.i I wish’you well in your quest.” | He clapped his hands, and the young | officer who had received her strode out | upon the terrace. “Your car is waiting, Mrs. Vaneerin, the Tu-chun went on courteously, “and | I do not like to keep you out too late. Should you see Mr. Howard, remember me to him ocordially. I shall be de- lighted to see either or both of you again—prticularly, yourself.” He bowed. 1—I must thank you,” exclaimed Dagger. “After all, you have been kind. You meant well. “Oh, quite well, I assure you,” he re- joined. “In a selfish sense, of course. But one must think of himself. Good- night, Mrs. Vaneering. I am afraid my wives will be very curious about you.” ‘When she left Sungfu Dagger had no definite plan for her future, save that she must reach America as quickly as possible; but on the journey she de- veloped & nostalgia for the Texas plains and the figure 2. Practically, she told herself, she re- quired a jumping-off place for the next stage of her search for Blaine. He would scarcely go to New York, if he wished to be considered dead.

McCarty, grinning foolishly, had snatched off his hat and scrambled to the ground. | “What have yew done with yoreself, Dagger?” he asked. “Yew look like one of these here ladies in the Sunday pa- pers. I never see such clothes—outside of a film picture.” “But clothes haven't anything to do with me,” she answered. “I'm just the same.” Jim Marley put his two hands on her shoulders and held her off, so that he could peer down into her eyes. “No, yew ain't just the same, Dagger,"” denied. “Yew've done growed a heap. Growed-up, like I said. Too bad, but I reckon once yew got to be a woman yew couldn’t help it.” “How’s the ranch?” she inquired idly. ‘Pretty good. Might have more wa- ter, but the steers are holdin’ up—if we can git a decent beef price. But thar ain't so much money into cattle these days. Seems like people wore eatin’ greens 'stead of meat.” He paused. “Got a new foreman.” “How's that?” asked Dagger. “Do I know him?" “Ain't had a dependable foreman since Dick went,” her uncle responded. “All of ’em too young or careless.” “How's the new man?” “Fair. Got a heap to learn, but his heart’s in his work.” And when Dagger started to ask for more information; “Come on, Mac, let’s get goin'.” “But what's the hurry? I want to see everything. “I reckon yew'll have time aplenty for seein’ things,” returned her uncle. “Right now, I want to make Casa Blanca afore sundown. Yew see, Dag- ger"—he hesitated—"these roads are hell. Much as yore life is worth to tackle some of ‘em in the dark.” Dagger was puzzled, but amenable, regarding, with a degree of amusement, the speed which McCarty rang up on the dashboard. “You never used to drive like this, < | Uncle Jim,” she observed. Jim Marley removed his hat and wiped a moist forehead. “Wa-all, we got to git thar,” he of- fered mildly. “See them steers, Dagger? Not 50 bad for a dry Summer, huh?" “That foreman must know his busi- ness,” she remarked. “Him?” snorted Jim Marley. “Wa'll, I ain't claimin’ he's a fool, but yew might give me ctedit for knowin' my own ranch.” ‘They sped past the water-tank and rounded to in front of Casa Blanca with a resounding blast of the horn— i SUUCHETONAL.
