CAREER OF OSCAR
S. STRAUS, FAMOUS
HUMANITARIAN, ENDS
(Continued From Page One.)
„Announces(
Among the many achievements -of
Mr. Straus' life, the one that he him-
self considered the greatest, is, per-
haps, the least mentioned in bio-
graphical works. It came in 1912,
when he was made chairman of a
board of arbitration to settle the dif-
ferences between railroads east of the
Mississippi and locomotive engineers.
With the entire eastern transporta-
tion systems about to be tied up, Mr.
Straus worked so diligently that all
the points in dispute were settled to
the satisfaction of both sides.
As one of the leaders of the League
to Enforce Peace, Mr. Straus was ac-
tive internationally in trying to avoid
and to end war. He went to Paris
as one of its representatives and was
there throughout the peace confer-
ences. President Wilson held him in
the highest esteem and gave him
many delicate tasks. At one time
Colonel House told Mr. Straus the
League of Nations was on the rocks
and asked him to see what he could
do.
"The League is off the rocks," he
succintly told the colonel a few days
later after persuading the French to
give in on points concerning manufac-
ture of munitions. On that day, in
his diary he wrote: "I regard this day
and its happenings as the golden
chapter in the history of civilization."
It was a sorrow to him that this coun-
try never entered the league.
