SAYS LEE Trainmen's Head Declares , r .. 1 Brotherhoods Will Go It - J Alone in Future. ] i TIE-DP THREAT PASSING ' ' ? < ' i All Unions United Against All > Koads loo Full of Dynamite, Belief of Chief. By the Associated Press. i CLEVELAND, October 11.?Methods of settling: wage and working agreements between the "big four" transportation brotherhoods and the railroads has entered a new era, and if the present course of negotiations is : continued the country- for several : years at least, will not be threatened with a complete tie-up of railroad transportation through . a. concerted strike of these brotherhoods on all ! lines of the nation, W. G. Lec, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad ; Trainmen, said yesterday. The situation which developed in ; 1915 as a result of the eightrhour ' fight and again last fall, when the trainmen's, conductors ; engineers' and fireman's brotherhoods sent out nation-wide strike orders, probably ' will not again occur. See* llrenk-l p of liig Four. Decentralization of all wages, rules and working negotiations and return 1 to the system prevailing for twenty years prior to the time when the four train-service brotherhoods were forced by the "eight-hour fight" to pool their strength into what has 1 since become famous as the "big four" railroad brotherhoods has already set in, in the view of Mr. Lee. The new alignment of the transportation brotherhoods probably will find the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors in one group and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Knginemen and the Switchmen's Union of North America in another. "1 feel that I am able to handle my organization to better advantage., to cet more for mv men and to work more effectively all around if the trainmen and conductors g?> it alone, so far as wapes and workingrules are concerned." Mr. Lee said. Separation Only Way Out. "This whole business, with all railroad labor unions on one side and all railroads on the other, with the Railroad Labor Board in between, got too big for any one nxan or a few men to handle. It was loaded with dynamite for the country as well ?s for ourselves and the executives. No sane government would permit any faction or class to paralyze the transportation business of the country. and thereby punish the innocent, who are always in the majority. The only way out was to separate." "A nation-wide railroad strike is not possible today." Mr. Lee said. "It costs the railroads and the unions which indulge in it more than they can afford to lose. The shopmen's strike proved that. When a strike gets so big that it can't be controlled then the government will step in and control it. This results generally in legislation detrimental to all Tti a tiPftQ i>nf sifilatinn ic the first ray of light I have seen j for ten years." Marriage Licenses. !

' . - ... WOULD AID PRESIDENT IN GUIDING COUNTRY Correspondent Urges All Loyal Americans to Lay Aside Partisanship for Patriotism. ' ro the Editor of Tho 8t?r: We are passing through perilous times and efforts are being made to strike at the very roots of our civilization and freedom; therefore let js. as loyal Americans, rally to the colors und "do oiir bit" as we each 1 tried 80 faithfully to do not long since. . It seems to me that the time has 1 come for those of us who recognize j the guiding hand of a Higher Power, ( who is back of all and in all, to come out boldly and declare the 1 trum ana stand on principle. iuum i think there has ever been a time in the history of the world when the j spirit of unrest has swayed men as 3 it is swaying them today. Neither < do I believe thero has ever been a time when man has sought Lift, or j God, as he is seeking today. Most of us may not know what we are seek- 1 ing?in fact, it is very evident that j we do not know?therefore let the < thinking men and women of our land < rise up in their might and show those i who need help how to find them- i selves. Let us be loyal citizens and f show those who know nothing of the i higher things of life what loyalty i really is. Let the men in high places, who sway the opinions of thousands, take heed lest their condemnation and false criticism return to them in , violence. As the great problems of today present themselves, actually tumbling over one another in the strivings or ; men and bodies of men to put themselves first. wo should lay aside all partisanship and lend our aid to the President and those associated with him in guiding the affairs of the ] country. It is not at all necessary that we agree with everything that , is done, but let our criticism be con- , structive and not destructive. Lest some one think I am a republi can pleading" the cause of a republican President in a rather subtle manner, I want to say that I am a stanch democrat and have never hesitated to say that I am one. although I am a government employe, i I do not believe in government employes becoming mere tree toads and changing with every administration As an American citizen, I appeal to all Americans to join in the great work of saving our homeland. The time has come for us to lay aside all littleness just as we did when the great war came upon us and to come to the aid of our men of affairs morally and spiritually as we did physically when we took up arms against the common enemy. There is a great common enemy ot unrest, dissatisfaction and self-seeking hovering over this country now. which is causing it to boil and seethe, and occasionally break forth into steam, and in order that we may not become a whole seething nation as we see Russia today let those who know the power of constructive thought and right speech stand on principle, and stand firmly, and thereby bring order out of chaos. We are known to the world as a Christian nation. Let us be one in reality and not in name only. Now, 1 j am not talking about a sentimental, maudlin religious attitude?we have 1 had too much of that and we are all sick of it?but the time has come when we, as a nation, must steady ourselves by recognizing the guiding hand of God (call it what you will? 1 first cause, principle, origin, or what- : ever name may appeal to you) in all our affairs, and we. as individuals. , can "do our bit" by asking that , Deity, with a believing faith?the J faith of understanding and power? ! that those in charge of the great issues of the day may be guided by infinite wisdom. We know that "where there is no vision the people perish"; therefore let us forget personality and all pettiness and by our communion with the great Being back of all and in us all, and our co-operation with our /* run.

PROTESTS OMITTING CATS FROM WELFARE PROGRAM Correspondent Believes Tabby Is Entitled to Care Along With Dogs and Horses. Co the Dlitor of The Star: Your recent correspondent pleads for the Humane Education Society's animal farm on the outskirts of our city, within whose blessed domain unfortunate dogs and horses can find care and protection. But how about pour puss. uais anu muc black, striped, yellow and spoted cats. They must not be forgotten^ The sight of these homeless wanlerers turned adrift by thoughtless rwners excites pity in our hearts. They are a problem in every city, and Washington is no exoeption. Well, true enough. We mean that their kind friends, the gentle-mannered inspectors, shall be about and see that these homeless, half-starved derelicts are gathered up and humanely cared for. And those four-footed nightingales?the songsters of the silent night, who call the unwilling Inhabitants nearby from their slumbers to wakeful attention?I earnestly plead that they be politely invited to enter our rural auditorium, where they can sing to their hearts* content, not only by night, but in the morning season also, should they so desire. Until such time when they shall be kindly disposed of. (This, Grimalkin, is a word for our own comfort as well as for thine.) And what a "happy land" this animal park will be! It is pleasant just to think about it, and still pleasanter, some of. us feel, to work for its real ization?a nnai resting- piace ior some of the tempest tossed and a renewal of life and usefulness for others. Truly it will be a happy land for all privileg-ed to enter there. MAUD DAVIS. WAR ON "RUM HOUNDS." Drunken New York Policemen Causing Murder a Week. NEW YORK.

CRAIG GREATLY PLEASED. Reports Ulster Government Functioning More Successfully. By the Associated Press. BELFAST. October 11.?In a speech In parlaiment Sir James Craig, the premier, described conditions as more satisfactory than on any occasion since the northern government undertook the responsibilities of selfgovernment. He denied that there would be any change of policy on the part of his government, and added that northern Ireland would never consent to come under the rule of the Dublin parliament. Sir James said it was purposed to set up a royal commission to investigate and report on the subject of temperance reform with a view to legislation on the question. A party of armed men raided the post office at Castleton, in West Meath, last evening, dismantled the telephone and telegraph instruments and seized all the money.

Dr. Pavichlch pointed to the participation of this country in the world war, declaring that "history records no more sublime gesture, inspired by the purest spirit of sacrifice, abnegation and a high ideal of justice and human solidarity than that displayed by the descendants of Washington and Lincoln on the soil of France." In addition to help rendered during the world war, Dr. Pavichlch referred gratefully to America's diplomatic espousal of Jugoslavia's cause at a time "when our best friends were forced, perhaps by the inevitable trend of their political and historic | For Thursday I An i I J Spe j Tailc A d W I ivolutlon, to abandon our just :lalme."
