i By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated! Press, Washington) In none of its manifold ac- tivities has the NRA display- _ @d a greater genius for con- siliation than in its sudden dispute over the open shop. For weeks, leaders of labor and industry have been so wrought up over this that they could not dis- cuss it without raising their voi- ces. But when the ruling came down, both sides not only accepted it but praised it. What the ruling did, in effect, ‘was to leave it to ‘the employes of ny industry to decide for them- Selves what kind of union they|’ ‘would have. The labor men liked this because’ it appeared to them to mean the ‘end of the hated “company union” system, under which they charged that the steel and other industries controlled their employes throngh Jocal unions dominated by com- Pany officials, The industrialists liked it be- @ause they saw in it an effective barrier against American Federa- _ ‘tion of Labor organizers who had been charged with telling non-un- fon employes that the law requir- ed them to join the federation. is, of course, the possi- Wility: (what differing int}srpreta- tions of the ruling will collide at _ Bome future time, causing the NRA ® new batch of troubles; but the fact remains that for the present critical moment, ati least, this very “potent source of controversy has disappeared from the picture. ‘ Try, Try Again This result was not accomplish-| ed without great worry and e‘fort. is of formul: “paper tentatively, and torr@y, be- fore the right one way con-' ceived. 4 the At one time, when iggue "ame to its first test in the mak- ing of the steel code, General Johnson was inclined to accept a Proposition of the employers un- | der which they would have been} con- authorized affirmatively to were put on) Jolly Chap, The King; George V ‘Slays Em’ (Ry Asnocinted Peens) LONDON, Aug. 31.—King George is not above dusting off the rolling pin joke.

P.'S OLIN had obeyed. He had been under observation at the restan- rant, that wag obvious enough, but he did mot know by whom or whether by one or many. Then, later on in the afternoon, Benny Malone had telephoned again, and this time had'given him the street and siitm- ber of.# tobacco store where he was to report at half past seven that eve- ning. 5 if no other customer was in the store at the time, he had been in- structed to ask for a package of W.

Colin’s lips compressed on the butt of his cigarette. A package of W. Ps! The Wine Press! Cap & YOrage had taught him that! This was more than the thin edge ofthe wedge—it looked like a wide-fling door with “Welcome” biazoned ‘on | | the doormat. Or was it the old, old story of the spider and the fiy? It was nearly half-past seven now. He glanced around him. He was ap- proaching an old, elongated, two- story frame building with dormer windows, a relic of New York’s early days, that flanked a modern six-story tenement. It looked as though it had been made over into two houses—at least there were two entrances, one at either end—but, while the one near- er him boasted a narrow porch be- fore its door, the one at the far end seemed to be that of a store, and, judging from the way the house and tenement numbers had been run- ning, it obviously must Lethe to- |’ bacco store he was lookiug for. Hs glance, apparently casual, was suddenly critical, absorb- ing details. He was abreast of the porch now. An old, white-haired man, the only gerson in the neigh- borhood who, it would seem, did not feel the heat, for he wore a rusty black, shabby Prince Albert coat buttoned tightly around him, sat thereon the porch in a rocking chair, a cane across his knees, intent upon a newspaper which he was reading through steel-rimmed spec- tacles that straggled far down his nose, The man did not look up as Colin passed by. Colin did not alter his pace, A curious place, this! Besides the two entrances he had already nuted, there was also a third one he now saw, !n about the center of the building—a basement jensrance from the sidewalk. This was wide open, and over tho head of the doorway at the bottom of the steps there was a “Shoes to Mend” sign. The obvious questions flashed into his mind. If this was the Wine Press, was the cobbler down there a factor—also the old man on the porch? He halted now in front of the store, The window display had a cheap appearance. White- painted dettering on the panes, the paint scarcely discernible on many a let- ter, proclaimed the fact that one Michael Barney dealt in cigars, cig- arettes, pipes, and tobacco. It was the store he was looking for undoubtedly—and through the window Colin could see that there was no.one Inside at the moment except a wizened little man with red hair who stood behind one of the counters. Colin mounted the three steps from the sidewalk, opened the door, entered, and shut the door behind him. It was a small place. Prosper- ity did not seem to lurk in the seedy showeases or on the none too gen- ‘erously stocked shelves. There was & public telephone booth in one cor- ner at the rear. Colin nodded pleas- antly, ‘The man with the red hair was looking et him inquiringly from actoss the counter. “Td like a package of W. Colin requested.
