Chicago.— The averting of a strike
of approximately 10,000 station agents,
preparation for the formation of new
union of shop workers on 40 eastern
roads and negotiations for a separate
peace on the Baltimore & Ohio, mark­
ed the progress Monday of the railway
shopmen’s strike.
The move for new unions to take
the place of the striking shop crafts
was initiated by L. F. Loree, eastern
regional chairman of the Association
of Railway Executives, and was taken
as an indication of the intention of
the roads to hold out against the
strikers’ demand for a return of
seniority rights as a preliminary to
any settlement.
The eastern -roads, according to Mr.
Loree, plan to take advantage of rul­
ings by the labor board by organizing
new shop men in such a way that each
system will have its own union and
will be able to negotiate separately
with its men.
Parleys for a separate peace at
Baltimore between representatives of
the striking shop men and the Balti­
more & Ohio railroad, attracted con­
siderable attention in union circles,
but strike leaders refused to make any
comment.
The efforts of W. L. McMenlmen.
labor member of the rail board, in
a conference with W. J. Noons, head
of tbe station agents' organization,
prevented a further spread of the
strike.
Mr. Noons complained that the
Btatlon agents were being forced to
do the work of the strikers, but Mr.
McMenlmen assured him that any
grievances would be corrected. Mr.
Noons then announced that the sta­
tion agents would remain at work
pending a conference with the labor
board.
Comparatively few outbreaks due to
the strike were reported during the
day, but further cancellation of trains,
said to be due- mostly to the shortage
of coal, were reported from a few sec­
tions. The Grand Trunk took off two
trains between Chicago and Detroit
and two between Detroit and Harvey.

T F A MAN would tie happy lie must
A be a Man.
Try as one may, real enjoyment
cannot be gotten out of life if one
follows a wrong pathway.
I f a man would lie satisfied with
himself, he must have the proper
viewpoint o f what he should be. Ad­
mitting this, let us consider the opin­
ion of 1>. J. Burrell as to what makes
a man a Man.
“ Not what a man has or what hap.
pens to him; not wealth, nor noble
blood, nor crowns.“ says Burrell, "hut
the things that are In him nnd shin­
ing through him— his thoughts, mo­
tives, springs of action; those consti­
tute the man.”
Too few have this honest estimate
in mind when they measure their own
right to a, place under the sun and
their own right to comfort nnd hap­
piness.
Unfortunately humans are
inclined to spend much more time
thinking of what they would tike to
have, than in thinking what they are
or what they would like to be.
“ Self preservation Is the first lawr
of Nature," it is true. But too often
we find evidence that men and women
place selfishness ahead of everything
else. They do not understand that
there is a wide difference between
self-pVcservation and s«>lflshness. If
they do understand, they ignore the
fact, for constantly, though earnestly
seeking happy lives, we find them
seeking worldly possessions, wordly
pleasures— most of w hieh are of the
shallowest sort.
When one faces a hard-boiled bur­
glar in the darkness of the night, he
rightly protects himself by whatever
means he finds at Ids disposal. That's
a case o f self-preservation, for the
second-story men are usually ready to
kill rather than he caught. But in the
regular pathways of life no one can
justify any action which is unfair to
Ids fellow-men In order to gain »one.
thing for himself. When a man stoops
to underhand, dishonest methods,
whether they he In buying or selling,
either labor or goods.* he is certain
s«voner or later t«> loeo res;>ect for
himself.
No man can he happy In his own
position, however exalted. If he knows
that his thoughts, his actions and his

START
/T 'I I E average mnn is so constituted
A that a certain amount o f discour­
agement Is necessary to progress.
That is why nobody should worry
about a bad start.
Get a good one if you can, of
course. It will help. But remember
If your start was had, that so was tlie
start of almost every other man who­
ever attained a place of any impor­
tance In the world.
General Grant got a had start in Ids
studies at West Point, and did so poor­
ly in the army that he resigned.
At the outbreak of the war between
tlie states In America, he hnd settled
down to the business of running a
yard and tannery in an obscure Illi­
nois town.
His biographer says that he was ut­
terly discouraged. But lie wasn’t. He
knew that somewhere in him was a
very grout ability. And when lie got
into the war, as all young Americans
on both sides did, ambition awoke in
him.
Everybody knows the rest o f the
story.
Lloyd George Is one of the few con­
spicuous figures in the world today
who proceeded from success to suc­
cess after he once got his start.
The start itself was extremely bad.
It would have discouraged most men.
However, determination triumphed
over poverty und lack of opportunity.
The world knows the rest of that
story, too.
It stands to reason that if you never
have to use your muscles you will al­
ways be a weakling. And you can
only use your muscles in overcoming
something, whether it is a Job, or your
own natural inertia.
Neither can you develop your men­
tal possibilities without overcoming
obstacles, nnd to the poor in spirit all
obstacles are discouragements.
Don’t feel blue about a had start. It
ought to make you determined to
atone for it. and In atoning for it you
will gain strength and character.

W H Y
DO BIRDS SING
X 1 7 H A T we call the “ song'' of the
* * bird— the
melodious
sound*
which it makes with its throat— is
really the courtship or love-making of
the male bird which seeks in this man­
ner to attract his mate and to make
himself more pleasing in her eyes.
This love-making goes on from early
in the spring until after the eggs of
the mother-bird have been hatched,
but. in the great majority of cases, it
ceases as soon as the young birds have
pecked their way out of the shell.
In the case of the nightingale— re­
nowned as the greatest of singers—
the male charms his mate with the
sound of his voice all during the
period when he is courting her. during
the t i j e the nest is being built ind
even after the eggs have been laid. As
is th^llt:
from their shells, the song of the fa­
ther changes to a hoarse guttural
croak, as if he were anxioa« and
alarmed over the safety o f his off­
spring. But—and here is the proof
of the fact that the song o f the bird
is synonymous with courtship— if the
neat and the little nightingales de-
stroyed, the father once more com­
mences to sing, as gloriously as be­
fore. nnd continues this until a new
family is bora. The process of sing­
ing Is, of course, the same as with a
human being. The vocal muscles are
expanded and contracted and tho
waves of air passing over the deli­
cate membranes produce the har­
mony. But. unlike human beings, the
great majority of hints do n d have to
be taught to sing.
