CLEVELAND, Defember 25.—In verse, quoting Kipling's “If.” William G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, this year sent Christmas and New Year letters to 254 veteran members of his organi- zation and others of his friends to keep their heads in the handling of {railroad labor matters in the future as_they had in the past. . Many responses came to Mr. Lee esterday assuring him that he ad their confidence for keeping his head in critical situations in the past and that they had confidence in him to_do so in the future. | "¥It is customary at this time of the -{vear to ‘take stock’ of past events tand to ‘resolve’ for the future,” Mr.| Lee's letter said. “When I review events in the railroad dabor world during the lase few Years, such as ! the unauthorized strike of 1920, the taj threatened nation-wide strike in’'1921 and the unauthorized strike of shop- imen in 1922, Iam reminded of Kip- ling's If.” He quotes the poem. which begins: If vou can keep your head when when all about you are loosing theirs and blaming it on you.” S BLOSSOM TWICE.

The women of Jugoslavi particularly those of Serbia, became indignant when they learned the seating ar- rangements placed the Bulgarian Women next to them The Serbian women protested and | declared that if the Bulgarian women | attended the congress they would | vithdraw their acceptance of the in- | itatton. The specific grievance of | the Serbian women was that the Bul- garian women, many of whom are of | Macedonlun origin, criticized Serbia’s policy in Macedonia. The Rumanfan committee therefore withdrew the invitation to the Bul- garian_women, but made it known that the women of Bulgaria were deeply disturbed by what they term.- ed the intransigeant attitude of their Serblan sisters.
