that negotiations between the rail-
roads and employees will not lead TO

81 am opposed to arbitration because
that would mean splitting the differ

1t is hoped that Mr.. Lee has been
misunderstood by the Cleveland Lea
der. For the responsible head OF a
great labor organization to take the
attitude attributed to Mr.. Lee is sur
prising, discouraging, and almost IN
credible. 1t savers altogether too
much of the "Public-be-damned" and
"Nothing-to-arbitrate" attitudes OF a
certain leaders of capital in the past
For a man of Mr.. Lees position and

reckless defiance of it. All the retlec

A HINT TO TEACHERS.

(By Nancy Byrd Turner.)
wish when summers drawing near
about the end of May,
With bees and BIRDS and other things
" that teacher'd teach this way:
sRonnd Pine Wood north and south
and all the way around;
Toll whore the sass'fras bushes grow,
Gil and where the wild flags are
.uow far from Huckleberry Hill to
Sandy Bottom Creek?
How many cherries at time can a
boy hold in his cheek?
ospppose three fish were in pond,
three fishers close at hand,
Each fisher with hook and line
how many would they land?
What's the shortest cut to where the
buttercups are yellow?
How many fortnights does 1t take 10
turn May apples mellow!
"Two pickers in a berry patch-when
they had picked all day.,
How many quarts, inside and out
would those two bear away
"Tf twenty boys turned loose and raf
from here in front Of school,,
How many seconds would they TAKE
to reach the swimming pool!
And then | wish the teacher'd say
"Well, can't you remember,
Go find the answers right away, ant
tell me in September.
