obdurate, so he threw them off. That
was all there was to it-a sort OF di-
plomacy of force. 1t was the brand that
Garretson used on Congress, and it sue
ceeded WELL
He has not worked a train run since
he quit that Mexican job twenty-nine
years ago to become a salaried officer OF
the Order of Railway Conductors. He is
still on leave of absence, and his going
back, he would say, is ION the knees OF
the gods" Garretson won't tell why the
union picked man out of Mexico to be
it's chief. All he says on that point is
the ocular remark:
"Well, I guess they thought | was so
good they couldn't get along without
me-"
Be that as it may, whether Garretson
thinks so or not, the Order Of Railway
Conductors would look long and hard
before finding another like him. Next
Thursday he will be sixty years old.
Counting his leave of absence" from the
Mexican freight run, he has been rail-
reading since he started in as a brake
man on one of the old lines of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy, when the
company had the right to use man all
the way around the clock for $50 a
month and no overtime at all. Garrett
sons run is paying somebody else about
S165 a month and overtime beyond eight
hours. All that that means is what the
OR. C. owes to Austin B. Garretson.
Nowadays he rides only on trains like
the Pennsylvania Limited, because he
figures out that, being paid at the rate OF
$50 day from the union, he can save
the organization about S65 in working
hours by taking fast train say be-
tween New York and Chicago. Also he
takes to bright silk shirts, Palm Beach
suits and white shoes in the summer.
Nobody saw him in Palm Beach in
Washington until the fighting was over,
but one could spot that lanky figure in
the faded gray tan sack suit in any
crowd and blocks away. And always
his white string tie was tucked into his
shirt front about two inches below the
neckband.
GARRETSON IS A MAN WHO NEW
Err SAYS THE SAME THING

All of that is scarcely pen picture of
Garretson. You have to see him and

moned to Washington to act upon Mr..
Wilson's settlement plan would run OH
the reservation and wreck the peace.
Garretson watched it all, calmly and cal
culatingly. When reporters asked him
about it, he laughed at their fears and
said:
Look here. You've never been out
West, have you? Well, | have. I've
ridden fences and punched cattle, and
when the herd begins to mill around for
the stampede you never try to break
'em up quickly. You ride along with
'em a while and then pitch in. Just you
wait and see what happens here"
What happened was another instance
of Garretson's diplomacy of force.
Elisha Lee, assistant general manager
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and chair
man of the managers conference COM
mittee. and Garretson have high re-
gard for each other, but Mr.. Lee says
Garretson once told him that he, Gar
retson, was not fit to live with when ne
gets a labor movement like the recent
one in hand. But few of those who
came into daily contact with him did not
hold him in high esteem. One OF the
railroad presidents most bitterly OPP
posed to the four brotherhoOds met Gar
e. 10
"Garretson," he said, "I've known you
when you were losing, and you're
damned good loser. You're winning now,
and tell you you're damned good win
ner, too"
A THREE DAYS BEARD WAS THE
BOSS CONDUCTORS BADGE
OF TRIUMPH.
About that time Garretson was so
busy winning that he forgot to shave or
did not have time to do it. The after
noon that the Senate voted on the House
bill and rode roughshod over any amend
ments designed to defeat or delay the
passage of the emergency measure, Gar
retson, Stone, Lee and Carter sat up in
one of the Senate galleries. Their fight
was won then. 1t might have appeared
to some of those who watched that it
was a thumbs up and thumbs down
proceeding, but Garretson and his asso
ciates knew how the vote would go
their way, of course. When Garretson
came into the press gallery after the
vote he had a three days growth of
beard and looked as though he had
needed sleep for week.

lure OF an English pet name). he used
TO pay special attention. and having
kissed her and settled her pillow and
arranged the bedclothes with infinite
trouble. he would then. in the most
child-iike-foreetful way, offer TO play
hot-hands'' with her. which process, IL
she was not too sleepy to reject al
ways resulted in throwing the bed
clothes. bolster and all into worse con-
fusion than ever.
"Hot-hands" Is n sinrularly incpt
kind Of game. Two players sit close
opposite each othcy and strike hard
and quickly with the foretingcr and
middle finger of the opponent the
game alternating thus until one or
both lose breath. The thumb and the
other fingers are kept closed This
fore and middle finger stroke can be a
fairly powerful one. and the arrhdukc
seemed to derive rcma rkablc pleasure
from a game ut which he was an adept.
and for which he had an embarra ssing
enthusiasm.
The archdukc would come nearly
always to the chldrens schoolroom
during the English lesson. and would
sit listening sometimes with great at
tcn,ion. This used to puzzle me, be-
cause. as | know. he would not ever
make any use of his knowledge of
English. which he deliberately ruled
out Of his vocabulary. Nevertheless.
he WAS curious about 1t. and he took
u great delight, as ! say, in listening

Aus;ro- English with which they strug-

archduchess would occasionally turn

plain the position to Max and ERNST

Tall and wcll-bnilt Ferdinand was a

His liiEhncsS was n real enthusiast

often marvcled at his flair for the
beautiful.
