YOUNGER RAILROAD
MEN CONVENE HERE
Profession Attracting Higher
Types, N. Y. Central At
torney Declares.

Although the day Of "the boomer, the
boozer and the bum" has vanished from
the field of American railroading, the
magnetic fascination of the huge loco
motives still casts its spell over Amer
ican youth and leads many an ambi-
tious youngster to the picturesque life
of the railroader.
This, at least, was the general senti-
ment of $50 young men attending the
opening session this morning OF the
sixth annual Younger Railroad Mems
Conference, which convened in the
Mayfiower Hotel.
Big railroad companies, controlling
thousands of miles of track over which
dozens of speeding trains must travel
in perfect harmony, have developed
into tremendously efficient organiZa-
tions, according to Alexander S. Lyman,
general attorney of the New York Gen.
trail Lines, but this has not served to
stifle the ambition of the ordinary
worker.
Higher Types Attracted.

because every railroad worker knows
this to be true the profession is attract

The delegates were welcomed this
morning by j. L. Ferguson of the Wash
ington Terminal Co., William Knowles
Cooper, general secretary of the Y. M
C. A.. and F. j. Bresnahan, also OF the
terminal company.

idge. During the afternoon trips will
be made to Arlington Cemetery and
Mount Vernon. WreathS will be
placed on the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier and on Washington'S Tomb.
The young men attending the con-
vention are the picked representatives
of 28 leading railroads. In addition to
friendly discussions among themselves
they will hear several talks from men
who have made good" in railroad WORK.

C. 0. P. CHIEF TA|NS
CALL ON COOLIDGE
Borah, Good and Smoot Dis
cuss Political Situation
With President.

Among the Presidents callers today
were three prominent Republican lead
ers with each of whom he discussed
the recent campaign and the political
situation following the election.
Senator Borah of Idaho is known to
have received the Presidents COM
mendation for his personal part in the
Hoover campaign. Mr. Borah is un-
derstood also to have discussed with
the President the Kellogg treaty for
eutlawing war. AS chairman of the
Senate committee on foreign relations
the Idaho Senator will have charge of
this treaty when it comes before the
Senate this Winter. He said he antic-
ipates considerable discussion of the
treaty, but he feels very confident that
it will be ratified at the coming SeS-
sion.
Former Representative Goode of Iowa,
VINO was in charge of the Republican
campaign from the Chicago Office, gave
the President some little idea of what
that Office did during the campaign.
Or. e. B. Clements, Republican national
committeeman for Missouri, told the
President that the Republican victory
in Missouri was due to the fact that
the campaign was directed principally
IN the rural sections which are ordi-
narily Democratic and not in st. Louis
as has been the custom in the past.
He attributed Mr.. Hoover's success to
the confidence Of the people in his
ability to handle the farm problem and
to carry out the policies of the Coolidge
administration.
SmoOt Talks on Sugar.
Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman
of the Senate finance committee, called
on the President to describe the plight
70 American sugar producers, who he
said could not compete with the duty
free sugar imported from the Phil
ippine Islands. Senator Smoot would
not predict the Presidents attitude, but
stated that unless restrictions were placed
on duty-free importations from the
Philippines in the regular tariff bill
that will probably come up this Win
ter, he would personally introduce spe-
cial legislation to limit the annual i'm
portation preferably to 100000 tons, ol
at the most to 100000 tons year.
