CHAPTER XX There was n tense air of expectation among tiie uttie company or men tnat Died into one of the smaller lecture rooms attached te Deven Heuse n few after noons later. Twe lentr tnblcs were ar ranged with sixty or seventy chairs and a great tiullot-hex was placed In front el tue chairman. A little round of subdued cheers greeted the lntter as he entered the room nnd took his place nie jugnt Honorable .lenn Weavel. n rrivy Councilor, Member for Sheffield nil chairman of the IrenmriHterH union. Dartrey nnd Tallcnte appeared together nt the tall end of the nm. mslen. Miller sprang nt once te his imi anil nddresscd the ehairmnn "Mr. Chairman," he said, "I call attention te the fact that two honorary members of this company nre present. uuui!i met as incse Honorary mem cers have no vntn mwl the nmn m.m lng Is called with the sole object of Clad in black silk from head te feet, and always leaving his card, THE JACK OF CLUBS, ' the central figure of Edgar Wallace new mystery story JACK 0 JUDGMENT Is as baffling as he Is fascinating.

In ether words, they will fix or approve of or revise the wages of the country. They will settle every I'ispute and their decision will be final. The funds held by the various trades unions will form charitable funds or be returned as bonuses te the. contributors. I have given you the barest outline of the scheme which has been drnwn up te form a part of our program when the time comes for us te present one. Te day you arc only concerned te elect the ene representative. I nm here te beg, gentlemen, thnt you elect one whose theories, whose principles, whose ante cedents and' whose general attitude to ward labor problems will fit him te take a very 'important place In the future government of the country." There wan a little murmur of ap plause. Miller was once mere en bis feet. "I claim," he said, "that this Is neither the time nor the place te spring upon us an utterly new method or deal ing with labor questions. What you propose seems te me a subtle nttack upon the trades unions themselves. They hnvc been the guardians of the people for the lastifltteen years, and even though some ftrlkes have been necessary and although all strikes may net have been successful, yet en the whole the trades unions have done their work well, I shall tint nccept, in the event of my election, the program which Mr. Dartrey has laid dejVn, unless I nm elected with a special .mandate te de se."

"Honorary members have the right te attend nil meetings of our society," he pronounced. "They can even speak, If invited te de mi by the chairman for the day. I am sure we are nil of us very pleased indeed te welcome Mr. Dartrey and Mr. Tnllente." There was a murmur of approval, in one or two cases a little dubious. Dartrey smiled a greeting at Weavel. "I have asked Mr. Tallente te ac company me," he explained, "because, In face of the great Issue by which the party te which we all belong Is con fronted, some question might arise en today's proceedings which would ren der his presence advisable. lie does net wish te address you. I, however, with the chalrmnn.'s permission, before you go te vote weald like te say a few words." Miller again rose te his feet. "I submit, Mr. Chairman," he said arrogantly," flint when I had tne privilege of being elected last April, no honorary member was present or allow ed te epenk." Mr. Wcavel rose te his feet. "Gentlemen," he said, "you knew what this meeting Is. It is a meeting of fifty -seven representatives of the various traded unions of the country, te elect a single representative te tnke the chair whenever meetings of (hi company shall be necessary. Tht gathering docs net exist as a eclcty In any shape or form and we hnvc there fore neither rules nor usages. Mr. Dartrey and Mr. Tallente, although they arc honorary members, are. I nm sure, welcome guests, and whatever either of them wishes te say te us will. I am sure, be listened te. There Is no business. All thnt we have te de Is te vote, te cheese our leader for the next twelve months. There nre two nnmes put forward Saundersen and Miller. It Is my business only te count the votes you mny record. Presuming thnt no one else wishes te speak, I shall ask Mr. Dartrey te say these few words." Miller sat frowning nnd biting his nails. Dartrey moved te the farther end of the room niid looked down the long line of attentive faces. "Weavel," he snld. "and you", my friends, I nm net here te say n word In favor of either of the two candidates between whom you have te cheese to day. "I am here just because you are val ued members of the great party which before very long will be carrying upon Its shoulders the burden of this coun try's government, te tell you of one measure which some of you knew of already, which mny help you te real ize hew Important your today's choice will be. Veu knew quite ns much about politics ns I de. Yeu knew very well that the present government Is deemed. But for an unfortunate difference of opinion between two of our support ers who nre present today, there is net the slightest doubt that the government would lese their vote of confidence to morrow, nnd that In that case, if I stilt remained your chief, I should be nsked te form n democratic government, a task which, when the time comes, It is my Intention te pass en te one mere skilled in parliamentary routine. I want te explain te you thnt we con sider the representative you elect today te be ene of the most Important per sonages in that government. We hnve net Issued our program yet. When we de, we are going te make the country a wonderful premise. We nre going te premise that there shall he no mere strikes. That sounds a large grdcr. perhaps, but we shall keep our word and we nre going te end forever tills bitter btruggle between capital nnd In In ber by welding the two Inte ene and by making the interests of one the inter ests of the ether. Our scheme Is that the person whom you elect today will be chairman of an inner conference of twelve. We shall ask you te elect a further three from among yourselves, which will give the trndes unions four representatives upon this Inner coun cil.
