With negotiations rnrrled on wllh
Individual roads, or at most with
regional groups, Ihe consequence of
'a railroad strike will he much less
dangerous. A strike on one road
would proluibly not lead lo govern
mental interference. It was pointed
out.
Not Now Possible. .
"A nation-wide railroad strike Is
not possible today," Mr. Lee said.
I "It costs the railroads and the
'unions which Indulge fin 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 und control II. This
results generally in legislation det
rimental to . ull concerned. The
present situation is ihe first ray of
ligtlt 1 have seen for ten years.
"Trainmen and conductors ave
going to handle their business here
after in the il liferent regional
groups, for which the machinery is
already provided," Mr. Lee coin fi
lled. "They will liantlle their wage
mailers alone in the future, at least
au long as 1 am president. 1 sin
cerely hope thai all such matters
will be settled in conference niid
without the need of using ihe sirike
power."
Decentralization of railroad labor
organizations and a return (o Ihe
"iiurmnlyy" which obtained before
the eight-hour tight and the period
of government control are in part
the following of u drlfj which be
gan early thlH year, but arc also di-j
rect TesulU of the shopmen's strike.'
That strike cleared the air. tnught
belli unions and railroad managers
that strikes and government Inter
ference In strikes were costly, Mr.
l.ee explulned, Mid brought to both
sides the question: "We got along
for a good many years, always find
ing some way out of our difficul
ties; why can't we do 11 again "
"Sympathetic Masle."
The Idea or "!ivroiiitlc magic,"
many centuries wgo, made one of Its
appearances In the form of a Jewel or
charm. 'Xlw beetle was the symbol
of luimort Illy and must nut be

Ihe Idea of narvlng a beetle oat of
stone and wearing It, which would
then give him e hold over the sacred
