The Plumb Plan, however. proposes a
square deal to the Workers. the Public,
and the Government, and any other
plan that does not give consideration
10 this trinity is unsound and cannot
stand.
Naturally, the question arises in the
mind. Of 10 average Trade Unionist,
How are these finances TO be handled
and for what purpose will they be
used?' In answer 10 this question it
may be stated that the Executive Board
of the League consists of the internal
tional presidents Of the fourteen rail-
road organizations. including the four
Transportation Brotherhoods. They,
in: turn, have selected a subcommittee
Of three representatives of three groups
of railroad employees, as follows: B.
NJ. Jewell, Acting President, Railway
4 EErrlpl9yes' Department Representing
the Shop men). ]. J. Forester. Grand
President. Railway Clerks. (Repre-
senting Maintenance Employes). H..
E. Wills, Legislative Representative,
Four 7 Transportation Brotherhoods.
(Rerresenting the Transportation En-
ployes),
This subcommittee will have COM
plete charge Of the receiving and dis
tributing Of all finances and will be re-
sponsibIe to the Executive Board for
their actions. Mr.. Glenn Plumb. the
author of the plan, isin charge of the
legislative and publicity end of the
work. This gentleman. in addition to
being a sincere humanitarian, is one
of the best Informed men in the coun-
try upon railroad matters. The fin
ances are to be used for the purpose
Of carrying on huge publicity cam
paign all over the nation, to consistsof
lectures, mass meetings and a whole
sale distribution Of literature to mem
bers of the League and the public
alike.
This costois necessarily due to the
fact that majority of the Congress-
men are not yet ready to accept this
plan, and is only an insistent demand
from the people at home that will
cause them to listen and yield, and it
necessary we are determined to make
this national issue in the presidential
campaign in 1920.
you are therefore urged, as soon
as this folder mentioned reaches you,
to make this subject a special order
of business at the next meeting of your

for which is ten dollars annually, and

He begs all who are in charge of
election proceedings, to abstain from
holding meetings near churches or
just after Mass, as it is unseemly, ir-
reverent and disrespectful to the
sacred places and injurious to the re-
| ligious functions. The Cardinal ap-
peals to the clergy to sustain peace
and charity, and to adhere to the wise
legislation, which lays down that
they are to abstain from political
meetings and from political pro-
| nouncements in church. He SYM
pathizes with their anxiety for the
| welfare of their people in the tenn
poral sense, and points out that they
are free to exercise their vote accord
ing to their honest convictions, but
they should mix as little as possible
! in turmoil and angry conflicts.
Finally, the Cardinal calls all to
rally to the fight against the terrible
| influenza scourge, which is devastat-
ing Ireland, and urges that, in cases
where whole families are stricken
down, they be not left without medi-
cal care and nursing service. The
various religious communities in Ire
land have been coming forward
grandly in this work.

The WORK OF sELE.MAsrER4

/ THE WORK OF sELF-MAsTERY.
Self-mastery is the work of a life
time, and it must begin in small ways
The following suggestions towards
It's accomplishment are offered by
Father Wherefore, o. p:
In general strive to learn to refuse
to nurture everything not necessary.
Strive to give to self everything he
would refuse without reason, through
whim or mere inclination.
Self asks some minutes rest after
being called; refuse even a second.
Self wants to consult ease and com
fort in sitting or lying; do not listen
Self wants to indulge comfort OF
posture in prayer; refuse.
Self suggests that prayer might be
shortened; If possible prolong it.
Self longs to speak, to say a SHARP
thing; be silent.
Self tempts you to be melancholy
for love of Jesus, be sweet and joy:
full.
Self wants revenge; do good. Sell
is offended with some one: look kind
ly at him.
Self wants to say an unkind thing
OF some one; say kind one or be
silent.

NEW YEAR SOON GROWS OLD
Fades and Passes Just as All Thinus
Earthly-only the Spiritual
Endures and Satisfies.

The heart-breaking thing about the
New Year is that he becomes old. We
run out to meet him today as he ar
rives rosy-cheeked, and ruddy, stamp
ing his feet, drawing off his gloves,
unbuttoning his great coat and shak
ing off the snowflakes. How buoyant
and hopeful he Is! He has his pockets
full Of good things for us, we are sure
How he wins us! How he inspires us
We can do great things with him. he
Is so different from the old fellow who
Is gone. Poor Old Year! He got pref
ty stale toward the last. And then,
too. we got so we didn't feel just COM
Portable with him. He had seen so
many Of our mistakes and failures. 1t
will be easier to make a new start
with him out Of the way.
And now for this youngster! We
shall keep the past from him. He shall
not know a word Of it. All his things
are new. Ours shall be also, new
words, new thoughts, new ways. Good
by, old things. ...
But even before our New Years
resolutions are oil made, the New
Years day grows old. Light the can
dies; the day is dying. The shadows
deepen. Our new New Year already
is taking on age. We cannot keep
him new; can we keep the new that
he brought to us? In the first gloom
Of the new year we know that we
cannot. The guests of the day are
gone. The flowers we chose with such
care are whitening. The tempting
feast-fragments. Is there no abiding
thing? The old year was like this.
The old year was like it; the new
year will be and years and years
all alike. Time is their body; their
soul is eternity. And as they come
one after the other they bring to us
the gifts Of their body and the gifts
Of their soul. The one wakes old and
passes; the other endures and salts
fles.
Welcome, New Year. Show us your
good gifts and help us to choose
among them such as you and the other
years that come and go can leave with
us until the perfect and unending
day.

The Young Year stood and blinked his

The Young Year stood and blinked his
eyes,
And gazed with wondering surprise
Upon sight so fine and new,
He scarcely could believe it true
He gazed again, and still that sight
Remained to fill him with delight,
Until he asked what might this be,
This thing of shining mystery.
What can it be?' he eager asked,
AS still in that strange thing he basked
(Which is SO bright and big and fine,
And feeling brings I can't define
But which my very heart makes glad,
The greatest feeling I've yet had;
And braces up my spirit so
With all its warmth and shine and glow?
II never saw such sight before,
And will see it Ger and DER?
Or will it vanish like dream,
And not again upon me beam?
What is this rare and radiant thing
Which makes me want to dance and
sing?"
The one he questioned answered: "son,
Don't you know what? Why, that's the
sum-"
