Plump and white, yes—but “Vic” lost the use of three fingers on his drawing hand. The blacksmith pre- sented his card which announced that its owner was— WILLIAM F. KRAMER. And smaller type informed us that Kramer is secretary of the Blacksmiths’. He gave us gold-tipped cigarettes. ” “Your turn,” said “Vic.” “The tallish, lean man,” I said, “with the sunburnt face and the steely blue eyes is a structural ironworker. It’s evident he’s lived a life of exposure, out of doors, a life of risks, and hard work has ner, Dr.|made him lean.” “No,” said the tall, lean man, “I am not a structural ironworker. I am a barber.”’ From his card we learned that he was— C. M. FEIDER. He hails from Los Angeles, and he is the organizer of the Journeymen Union of America. “We have a membership of 32,000,” said Feider, “or about 65 per cent of all the barbers in the country, and a retired list of 13,000. We have half a million dollars in our treasury and in the past 14 years have paid out a million in benefits.” Barbers’ International “Try again,” said I to “Vic.” “The short, dark man at the desk,” said “Vic,” “is probably a garment-worker from New York. You will observe that, though he is dark, there lies under the skin of his face that pallor which speaks of The general expression of his face is one of gloom. He is, I should say, in revolt against conditions in his trade. He has toiled in the sweat shops. He is a radical, keen for the extremest measures. He hates a reactionary.” “Oh, my, no!” laughed the short, dark man, the suggestion driving the gloom fron. his face. not a garment worker. I’m a photo-engraver. Here is my card.” The card showed him to be— MATTHEW WOLL. He is president of the International Photo-engravers’ union, vice president of the label department of the A. F. of L. and editor of the American Photo-Engraver, published in Chicago. Nor is he a radical. “industrial unionism,” which the radicals He is opposed, among other things, to “i favor, and which is getting to be more and more the bone of contention between the radical and con- servative elements in organized labor. “Pm Woll is “SAFE AND SANE.” The score was progressing backwards. “Now, you,” said “Vic.” “The fat man smoking a pipe in the leather chair,” I said, “has a Kaiser Wilhelm mustache. He is a brewery worker.” “Ach, no!” said the man with the pipe. “I am passenger agent for the Oregon-Washington rail- road.” The score was tied. Just then a man dashed into the lobby from the dining room. He wore a bob-tailed coat and a He was smooth-shaven and had iron-grey hair. There was a well-fed smugness about the man that misled “Vic.” : “No mistake this time,” said the artist. “He's the head waiter. By that time we had a good sized “gallery,” and it laughed. The man whom “Vic” had taken for the head waiter was— FRANK MORRISON Secretary of the Federation of Labor, and Samuel Gomper’s right-hand man!
