Sweet and simple is the story, how the Shamrock came to earth;
God had made the little island and He smiled upon its worth.
Then tbe cherubim and seraphim leaned out of Heav'n to see
This little emerald country in a peaceful torquoise sea.
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.

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.

Mystery Surrounds
Bomb Outrage
I By Associated Press
Boston, March 17. The mystery
of the bomb explosion at the court
house yesterday was as deep as ever
to-day. One of the two men killed Is
know n to have been the janitor of the
building, but the other body has not
been identilied. After working all
night the police expressed the belief
that the.unidentified victim was the
one who brought the bomb to the
courthouse.
Walter L. Wedger.State chemist,was
busy with the fragments of the ex
ploded missile hoping to determine the
nature of its construction. A connec
tion between yesterday's outrage and
the explosion of a bomb near the po
lice station in the north end recently
was sought.

Do a little subtracting.
That difference in favor of the Franklin means;
