of not recognizing conditions as they now
exist"
Asked whether he admitted the possi-
bility Of a strike on any one railroad. he
Teplied that it was possible but he die
not admit It's probability.
Mr.. Lee returned yesterday from Chi
cago. having supervised the canvas Of
the strike vote OF more than i5o oeo mem
bers OF his organization, taken in protest
against the IL per cent wage reduction
ordered by the United States railroad Ia
Dor board effective July 1.
Mr.. Lee declined to be narty to rhe
joint strike ballot of the other brother
hoods sent out early IN September, claim
ing nothing could legally be included IN
such ballot according to the Esch-
Crmmins law except the wage reduction
Of July l. since the labor beard had not
made decision on other subjects men
toned in the joint ballot. Mr.. Lee pre-
pared and submitted a separate ballot
for the train and yard men. The vote
returned. he said. was in excess Of S8 Ter
cent in favcr Of a strike, with the fol-
lowing provision:
''We further request that our member

from their special railway carriages in

thousand Of their countrymen and

The Irish delegates train pulled in
at the same platform as the train
which carried the king and queen from
Balmoral scarcely half an hour before.
For the sovereigns the entire platform
had been failed off and cordoned BY
squadrons of police, and the floor had
been covered with a red CARPET. on
which group of court attendants
with the usual uniformed functionaries
welcomed their majesties. Their de-
parture from the station was cheered
by. many Of those among the crowds
which had assembled to greet tina
Irish peace mission.
Porters quickly removed the carpet
and all evidences Of the recent pres
ence OF royalty disappeared. In a few
minutes the delegates train arrived.
Men bearing enormous Sim Fein
standards and women waving smaller
republican flags. many of them sing
ing and the rest cheering, with the
booming of guns. made the great sta
ton reverberate until the delegates
ana their secretaries moved away IN
automobiles headed by the pipers.
Their progress was slow for a con-
siderable distance from the station as
other thousands were crowded along
the route. Many climbed on the sides
Of the cars. the lighted interiors Of
which made plainly visible the faces
