6 MMXbnderfijl Stunes^D^i^fi W a-JM a The Fate of the Tin Woodman With the Nome King frightened into submission by the clever ruse of the Scarecrow, there remained for the Rescue Party of Oz only to find the Tin Woodman. So, with the magic belt of the Nomo King to aid her Dorothy re-entered the palace, the doors of which still stood open. And everyone followed her except the Nqme King, the Queen of Bv, and Prince Kvring. The Queen had taken the little Prince into her lap and was fondling and kissing him lovingly, for he was her youngest born. But the others went with Doro thy, and when she came to the mid dle of the first room the girl waved her hand, as she had seen the King do, and commanded the Tin Wood man, whatever form he might then have, to resume his proper shape. No result followed this attempt, so Dorothy went into another room and repeated it, and so through all the rooms of the palace. Yet the Tin Woodman did not appear to them, nor could they imagine which among the thousands of ornaments was their transformed friend. Sadly they returned to the throne room, where the King, seeing that they had met with failure, Jeered at Dorothy, saying: "You do not know how to use my belt, so it is of no use to you. Give it back to me and I will let you go free—you and all the people who came with you. As for the royal family of Ev, they are my slaves, and shall remain here." "I shall keep the belt," said Doro thy. "But how can you escape, without my consent?" asked the King.

[ "Oh, that's all, is it?" sneered the King. "Well, where is the passage through which you entered this room?" They all looked around, but could not discover the place, tor it had long since been closed. Dorothy, however, would not be dismayed. She waved her hand toward the seemingly solid wall of the cavern and said: "I command the passage to open!" Instantly the order was obeyed; the opening appeared and the pass-, age lay plainly before them. The King was amazed, and all the others overjoyed. "Why, then, it the belt obeys you, were we unable to discover the Tin Woodman?" asked Ozma. "I can't imagine," said Dorothy. "See here, girl," proposed the King, eagerly; "give me the belt, and I wilt tell you what shape the Tin Woodman was changed into, and then you can pasily find him." Dorothy hesitated, but Billina cried out: "Don't you do it! If the Nome King gets the belt again he will make every one of us prisoners, for we will be in his power. Only by keeping the belt, Dorothy, will you ever be able to leave this place in safety." "I think that is true," said- the Scarecrow. "But I have another idea, due to my excellent brains. Let Dorothy transform the King into a goose egg unless he agrees to go into the palace and bring out to us the ornament which is our friend Nick Chopper, the Tin Woodman." ... ',' A B° ose egg!" echoed the horri fied King. "How dreadful!" ' a e° ose ess you will be unless you go and fetch us the or nament we want," declared Billina, with a joyful chuckle. ~ Y ° u can s ee for yourself that belt°nn y i u le to use th e magic ™ a " r'Sht- the Scarecrow. nrfVLi^? me King thought It over w",n. , , y consen ted, for he did not imn n,° , a Soos " eKfc '' s ° he went whU j a to Ket the ornament the Tin • f transf ormation of me iin Woodman, and they all r etum w 'th considerable mpatience, for they were anxious to lea\e the underground cavern and S ?n A. sl ' ns hine once more.

Are you sure?" asked Ozma, sternly. ' k-,' 1 '" 1 , ver y, sure," answered the King, trembling, "for I know just what I transformed him into, and exactly where he stood. But he is not there, and please don't change me into a goose egg, because I've done the best I could. They were all silent for a time, and then Dorothy said: xr "There is no use punishing the Nome King any more, and I'm fraid we'll have to go away without our friend." If he is not here, we cannot rescue him," agreed the Scarecrow, sadly. "Poor Nick! I wonder what has become of him." "And he owed me six weeks back pay said one of the generals, wip ing the tears from his eyes with his gold-laced coat sleeve. Very sorrowfully they determined to return to the upper world without their former compalnion, and so Ozma gave the order to begin the march through the passage. The army went first, and then the royal family of Ev, and afterward came Dorothy, Ozma, Billina, the Scarecrow and Ticktok. They left the Nome King scowl ing at them from his throne, and had no thought of danger until Oz ma chanced to look back and saw a large number of his warriors fol lowing them in full chase, with their swords and spears and axes raised to strike down the fugitives as soon as they drew near enough. Evidently the Nome King had made this last attempt to prevent their escaping him; but it did him no good, for when Dorothy saw the danger tthey were In she stop ped and waved her hand and whispered a command to tho magie belt. Instantly the foremost warriors became eggs, which rolled upon the th i cavern in such numbers that those behind could not advance without stepping upon them. But when they saw the eggs, all desire to advance departed from the warriors and they turned and fled madly into tho cavern, and refused to go back again. Our friends had no further trou ble in reaching the end of the pass age, and soon were standing In tho outer air upon the gloomy path be tween the two high mountains. But tho way to Ev lay plainly before them, and they fervently hoped that they had seen the last of tho Nome King and of his dreadful palace. The cavalcade was led by Ozma, mounted on the Cowardly Lion, and the Queen of Ev, who rode upon the 1 back of the Tiger. The children of the Queen walked behind her, hand In hand. Dorothy rode the Saw horse, whWe the Scarecrow walked and commanded the army in the ab sence of the Tin Woodman. Presently the way began to llghton and more of the sunshine came In between tho mountains. And before long they heard the "thump! thump' thump!" of the giant's hammer upon the road. How may we pass the monstrous man of iron?" asjeed the Queen anxious for the safety of her chil dren. But Dorothy solved the prob lem by a word to the magic belt. The giant paused, with his ham mer held motionless In the air, thus allowing the entire party to pass be tween his cast-Iron legs in surety If there were anf shifting, rock eolored Nomes on the mountain side now, they were si'ent and respect ful, for our adventurers were not annoyed, as before, by their impu dent laughter. Really the Nomes had nothing to laugh at, since the de feat of their King. On the other side they found Oz ena's golden chariot, standing ns they had left It. Soon the Lion and the Tiger were harnessed to the beautiful chariot, in which was room for Ozma and the Queen and six of the royal children. Little Evring preferred to ride with Dorothy upon the flawhorse, which had a long back. Tho Prince had recovered from his shyness and had become very fond of the girl who had rescued h'm. so they were fast friends and chatted pleasantly ♦ogether as they rode a'ong. Bll 'ina was alee nerehed upon the honrl of the wooden steed, which seemed rot to m'nd the added weight in the 'east and the hov was full of won der that a hen could talk and say such sensible things.

But it breaks my heart to leave him be hind." f® was a fine fel-low," replied Ticktock, "al-though his ma-ter-ial was not ve-ry du-ra-ble." I Oh, tin is an excellent material," | the Scarecrow hastened to say; "and anything ever happened to poor Nick Chopper he was always easily [soldered. Besides, he did not have to be wound up, and was not liable to get out of order." "I some-times wish," said Ticktok, that 1 was stuffed with straw, as you are. It is hard to be made of cop-per." I have no reason to complain of JP y re P' ie< l the Scarecrow. "A little fresh straw, now and then, makes me as good as new. But I can never be the polished gentleman ™ T , my poor departed friend, the Tin Woodman, was." I You may be sure the royal chil dren of Ev and their Queen mother were delighted at seeing again their beloved country; and when the tow ers of the palace of Ev came into view they could not forbear cheer ing at the sight. Little Evring, rid ing in front of Dorothy, was so over joyed that he took a curious tin whistle from his pocket and blew a shrill blast that made the Sawhorse leap and prance in sudden alarm. "What is that?" asked Billina, who had been obliged to flutter her wings in order to keep her seat upon the head of the frightened Sawhorse. "That's my whistle," said Prince Evring, holding it out upon his hand. It was in the shape of a little fat pig, made of tin and painted green. The whistle was in the tail of the Pig. "Where did you get it?" asked the yellow hen, closely examining the toy with her bright eyes. "Why, I picked it up in the Nome King s palace, while Dorothy was making her guesses, and I put it in my pocket," answered the little Prince. Billina laughed, or at least she made the peculiar cackle that served her for a laugh. ™ wonder I couldn't find the Tin Woodman,' she said; "and no wonder the magic belt didn't make him appear, or the King couldn't find him, either!" "What do you mean ?" questioned Dorothy. "Why, the Prince had him in his pocket,' cried Billina, cackling again. "I did not!" protested Evring. "I only took the whistle." "Well' then, watch me," returned the hen, and reaching out her claw -he pouched the whistle and said Swish! "Good afternoon," said tho Tin V> oodman, taking oft his funnel cap and bowing to Dorothy and the Prince. "I think I must have been asleep for the first time since I was made of tin, for I do not remember our leaving the Nome King." "You have been enchanted," an swered the girl, throwing an arm around her old friend and hugging him tight in her joy. "But it's all right, now." "I want my whistle," said the little Prince, beginning to cry. "Hush!" cautioned Billina. "The whistle is lost, but you may have another when you get home."

The report was signed by Senator Kenyon, of lowa, chairman, and Senators Sterling, South Dakota: Philippe. Colorado, Itepub'icans, and T.lcKellar, Tennes see, and Walsh, Massachusetts, Democrats. Treating of the causes of the strike, the committee report express ed the opinion that the walkout was precipitated by the determination of American Federation of Labor to organize the steel industry. Wages were not a factor In the strike, the committee hold, being high enough j to give no reason for dissatisfaction. . Hours of the workers, however, the I Senators believed are too long. Foster Radical Leader Further behind the strike, the committee found, was massed "a con siderable element" of revolutionary radicalism, of which it is said, there is no question that William Z. Foster, secretary of the general strike com mittee, was a leader. With Jacob Mardolls, attorney for the I. W. W. und assistant In organizing the strike, Secretary Foster came In for un sparing condemnation. Despite Fos ter's partial disavowal of his former syndicalist doctrines, the committee failed to be convinced that the strike leaders have had "a little change of heart" but on the contrary, "he is now in the full heyday of his power." "The laborers in the steel mills had a ust complaint relative to the long hours of service on the part of some of them and the right to have that complaint heard by the compand," said the committee in summing up its formal findings. "They had the right to have rep resentatives of their own choosing present grievances to the employets. Some members of the committee be lieve that more friendly relations would be maintained between em ployer and employe if the representa tives who are chosen to present grievances to the employers were actually working in the industry and that such representatives ought not to be from outside the Industry." \\ ith the system of working hours in the steel Industry, the committee ?J!?i ffree(l . stron *ly. citing as one ob jection there to the existancc of nu . mbers of non-English speak ing workers in the mills who should Amerlcanized! >POrtUn ' ty l ° beC ° m ° be,iev ® that a large majority of the men actually working in the mill work ten and twelve hours u day, the report said. hour. en „ cannot work ten and twelve v. y and attend classes in wHh s ® h ools.

"Judge Gary could well liuvc objected to receiving; a man with the views of Mr. Foster. He did not put his refusal on that ground, but rather put It on tire ground that the men did not represent the employes, though himself conceding that ten to fifteen per cent, of the men in the mills were probably unionized. It seems to lis that even this ten or fifteen per cent, had the right to select their own representatives and present their grievances, and that they should have been heard." Testimony before the committee, the report said, sustained the con tention of the steel companies that a large proportion of the strikers are foreigners or non-English speaking people. Touching on the subject of radical ism in the strike, the report said: "The committee is. of the opinion that the American Federation of Labor has made a serious mistake and has lost much favorable public opinion by permitting the leadership of this strike movement to pass into the hands of some who have here tofore entertained the most radical and dangerous doctrines." "Such men," said tho report, al luding to Foster and Margoiis, "are | dangerous to the country, and tliey are dangerous to the cause of union labor. It is unfair for men who may be struggling for their rights to be represented by such leaders. If Mr. Foster has the real interest of the laboring men at heart he should re move himself from any leadership. If he will not remove himself from leadership the American Federation of Labor should purge itself of such 'leadership In order to sustain the confidence the country has had In It under leadership of Mr. Compere."
