They leaned so far the baby stars which had not yet grown cold Broke loose and came a'tumbling to the sod where they took hold And the grasses fed them dewdrops while the great warm sun looked on, And the winds taught Ireland's secrets —so the Shamrock plant was born. ANNA HAMILTON WOOD, Written for The Telegraph. ! GENERAL STRIKE IS UNTHINKABLE Ivy Lec Tells Engineers' Club This Is No Time For Men to Push Claims Speaking last night before the Engi neers' Society of Pennsylvania, Ivy I* Lee, publicity expert and executive assistant to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., said "a general railroad strike at this time is unthinkable. No matter what justice any one may have In his claims, this is no time to push them, if in any way they jeopardize the national safety." In summing up the present railroad crisis, Mr. Lee said in part: "The rail road labor problem is not a contest between the men and the management, it is fundamentally a problem affecting the men on the one side and the public on the other." lintes Must Go l°p, Too If men's wages are raised the rates ' must be raised, too. Otherwise the service must be curtailed or the re turn of capital reduced. Any way you put it, the public's interests are af fected vitally. "Railroad employes should be as high ly paid as the industry will permit. But it is not fair that a few men should be well paid at the expense of others. "The present labor crisis Is provoked by 20 per cent, of the employes. They are demanding what is tantamount to an increase of 25 per cent, in wages. Their wages are already relatively high. "No matter whether they are- entitled to this increase or not, certain it is that if 20 per cent, of the men get such an increase, the SO per cent, should have it, too. "A 25 per cent, increase in wages of all railroad employes would cost the companies about $350,000,000 a year more. That is equal to an advance in all freight rates of about 12 per cent The money demanded by the four brotherhoods would amount to about $10'),00,000. "Railroad managers would be glad on merely personal grounds to pay all their men very high wages. But the money must be obtained from the nub ile to do it. "So, if railroad officers seem stub born and unyielding, let the public realize that the managers are helpless- i they ar merely buffers between the , men and the public.
