TODAY.s BIT OF VERSE
TO A BEE.

Columbus in velvet,
This afternoon sunny
How lyric your voyage
To islands of honey,
To ports full OF pollen.
Deliciously looming,
You fly; and my gardens
America blooming,
Campanula belfries
In delicate duty
Proclaim at your coming
The sweet OF their beauty;
The pansies are wishing
You momently nearer,
And rosemary voices
Call quicker and clearer.
The rose in her bounty
Shall fondle and feed you
Till friends in the cottage
OF honeycomb need you;
And yet, II the morrow
Fall fragrant and sunny,
Shall have for unloading
Fresh cargoes of honey.
Columbus in velvet,
Fly hurriedly over
The blossoming beanieid,
The red and white clover,
To find in this garden,
Deliciously looming,
a mainland Of honey,
America bloomingi

CHICAGO, Sept. 1-Convinced that congress will force them to surrender presidents of important western rail roads tonight ordered resembling or modification of the freight embargo established in preparation for a gen. eral railway strike. At the same time the railroad executives announced defections from the ranks of the rail way brotherhoods, and declared they had enough men to operate the trains strike or no strike. This was denied by the brotherhood officials.
 Hale Holden, president of the Bur lington, spokesman for the railroads in the eonfereHces with President Wilson. said the railroads are con- vinced congress will force through the hour day law before the date set for the strike. but they are talk ing no chances.
 "Forced to Surrender"
 Tt seems tonight that congress will make us surrender" MT. Holden said. explaining an order by his freight de- partment revoking the embargo. "The Burlington and other roads have felt today there is little chance for a strike now. We are revoking our em- bargo so as not to inconvenience the shippers at all. But We are going a. head with our plans to operate trains in event of a strike. The strike or, der must be actually revoked before we let up in our precautions. We have men enough to run our trains"
 Claim Unilns Split
 While railroad executives were claiming defectiOn of thousands of brotherhood members. officials of the unions. through Timothy Shea. vice president of the Brotherhood of Fire men and Enginemen, said the rail ways habitually circulate such stor- ies and they have no fears their men would not obey the strike order.
 Injunctions against calling the strike were filed by brotherhood men in various parts of the country includ- ing a number of Santa Fe trainmen employed in Texas.
