The Lucky Rich.

 The rich man has his trials and his troubles, so they say, They tell us that he has no peace of mind by night or day; They tell us he's uneasy, and he gets but little rest And that his wealth to him is but an irritating pest. And yet the rich mans lucky, for he can stay in his bed, He doesn't have to hustle out and earn his daily bread; And when the old alarm clock sounds it's warning, he can slap The darn thing off the dresser and go back and take a nap. They knock the rich mans consci- ence, and they knock his meth ods. too, And yet the rich mans luckier by far than poor old you; We have our tribulations, and we're apt to be annoyed, But your greatest. tribulation is the one he can avoid. It must be fine to hear the gong when it goes off each day, Then laugh at your tormentor, and roll over in the hay; And have no boss to dock you, and not need care "a rap Just choke the darn alarm clock and go back and take a nap.

HEARS ALTOONA STRIKE
WILL END 8 Pm. TODAY
Railroad Administration Issues
Warning-Walkout Hurts vr-
ganized Labor, Hines Says.

The railroad administration an
nounces that it was notified today
that the striking railroad shopmen at
Altoona, Pa, would return to work
at 3 pm. today. 1t states that the
strike was local and was unauthor-
lied by the union.
Strikes of railroad employees such as
that in the Altoona yards Of the Penn
sylvania railroad were declared yes
terday by Director General Hines as
creating the basis for the argument
that it is nonsense to deal with la
Dor organizations, because they will
not obey their own rules, and, there
fore, make the orderly handling Of
business impossible
The statement by the director gen
eral was made in letter to b. NJ.
Jewell. acting president of the rail-
way employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, in re-
gard to the Altoona strike. Mr.. Hines
reiterated that the railroad admins
tration's policy was that no griev-
ance of railroad employees could be
considered while the workers re-
mained on strike.
Emphasizing the seriousness of
every stoppage of work at the pres
ent time when the railroad admin
istration is straining every nerve to
serve the people of this country and
the people of Europe" Mr.. Hines re-
quested that his warning message be
transmitted to the strikers. whose un-
authorized strike, he declared, was
injuring the cause of organized labor,
as we'll as the general public.
President Jewell left Washington
last Friday for Altoona.

After the bulletin was issued DR..
Grayson said he and the other physi-
clans attending the President would
continue to stand on their bulletins
and would not deny rumors as to the
Presidents condition or enter into any
discussions concerning them.
DR.. Grayson said that while he
would insist that the President re-
main quiet and not participate in af-
fairs of state, some occasion might
arise where he would have to give his
consent to the President taking ex-
ecutive action. He added that the
Presidents mind was clear and that
he was perfectly capable of forming
instant judgment on any matter that
might come up.
DIR. Grayson gave assurances that if
any material change occurred in the
Presidents condition the fact would
be made known. Nothing would be
kept from the public If the Presidents s
condition should become suddenly
critical, he said.

would regain his health, although he
must continue to obey his physicians
orders to remain in bed for "an eX-
tenslve period" and resign himself

tion.
There is no reason why legislation
now ready for the Presidents action
should not be placed before him. Sec
retary Tumulty said, but decision as
to this rests with Rear Admiral Gray
son. his personal physician. Bills now
ready for executive action include the
prohibition enforcement measure and
the amendments to the food control

ing.
