Beatty said "No!"
"Tom" Shaughnessy fixed the
young attorney with a stern eye
and exclaimed, "'jy God, Beatty!
Do you want to be a mere lawyer
all your life ?" Young Beatty
smiled and took the job.
Some people think Mr. Beatty
is hard to reach and tales are
told of citizens who wait for
weeks for the call to conference.
Nevertheless Ise is the easiest
man in the country to talk to,

He is one of the few leading
citizens who go in for Good Works
in a Big Way without thought of
publicity or praise. Not long ago
the mother of an ex -Boys' Home
youth who had lost his job in the
States, was destitute and needed
trainfare home in despair tele-
phoned to E. W. The Chairman
and President of the C.P.R. came
to the phone in person, discussed
the case with the harassed mother,
told her not to worry and in-
structed the C. P. R. official
nearest to the boy to ship him
back to his home, paying the fare
out of his own pocket. These
are the things which have won
him a reputation for kindness and
humanity.
Ile was born at Thorold, which
Ontario people will tell you is
situated in the Garden of Canada.
He attended several schools in
Toronto, and ultimately scratched
his way into, through and out, of
Toronto University and was called
to the Ontario Bar. That was in
1901 and almost at 01100 he went
into the C.P.R.'s law department.
Ise stayed there for thirteen years
before becoming the company's
General Counsel. in 1918 he was
elected to the hoard. In 1918
they made hien President, when
Lord Shaughnessy dropped one of
his two portfolios. Six years
later he added the title Chairman
to his letterhead, Since then he
has held both jobs and has had
plenty of worries on his hands.
He thinks co-operative manage-
ment will solve the railway prob-
lem. He does more travelling
than many salesmen. To -day
you will see hint in Calgary, Next
Tuesday he will be in Montreal.
On Wednesday he will appear be
fore the Railway Commission. in
the Capital, On Thursday you
can talk with him by long lis-
Lance to the Empress of Britain,
outward bound. Wherever he'
encs he carries his work under
his hat. When times were ,good
it used to be written that he had

bably just as big but infintely
more arduous.
