Several questions win occur

corning the incident:
After having worked nearly

himself to q life OF easel He

good for at least another ten
years, and what can he do?
There might be a number ID
speculative answers to that one.
but the chances are that Daley
has in his so years of activity
become enough of philosopher
to work out the answer to his
own satisfaction.
Then there is this:
How come that John Daley
worked nearly so years In
obviously a subordinate posi-
ton, while another boy named
Clement, born after he started
work, should become president
Of the railroad:
That could lead into devious
arguments about the economic
system and how one man Is held
down while another Is exalted
The fact probably is that Daley
wasn't qualified for the presi-
dents job and would not have
been happy had he acquired it;
and the chances also are a hun
dred to one that Clements would
have been a complete failure on
Dailey's job.
After all, what difference does
It make? Without men like
Daley the Pennsylvania nor any
other railroad could operate, no
matter how competent the presi-
dent of the road might be.
