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

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. Ionr!
lRJIUW-incil, If I 111 PS Jr*" c??_*r ?? < .
so that we may be a guiding star to
other nations and thereby bring peace i
to tU<? whole world. 1

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.

on the situation. The hierarchy

in the strongest terms guerrilla warare
against the free state government

soldiers is murder before God."
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. Later the
wires were cut and the police barracks
were blown up with bombs.

United States.
Dr. A. Trisch Pavichlch, the newly
appointed minister of Jugoslavia,
yesterday presented his credentials to
President Harding: at the White
House. The retiring minister. Dr.
Slavako Y. Grouitch, presented his
letters of recall to the President
earlier in the day.
Dr. Pavichlch in greeting President
Harding expressed for the Jugoslav
peoples "deepest gratitude" for the
benefits conferred by the United
States. 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

trend of their political and historic

Dr. Pavichlch expressed the belief
hat "the center of world politics has
