LEE, OFFICER OF RAIL UNION, DIES Secretary of Trainmen’s Broth- erhood Succumbs at Cleve- land, O. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, O. Nov. 2.— William G. Wee, secretary of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, died here this morning. He was born it: La Prairig, Lil. Nov. 29, 1859. He died of cancer, President of Brotherhood From 1909 to 1928. From 1909 to 1928 William J. Lee served as president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train- men, relinquishing his post, when at the age of 68, he was defeated for re-election. He was chosen secretary-treasurer but, because of ili health, he resigned last June 1, In January, after having been elected president of the American Home Builders, Inc., Lee was made a defendant in a $100,000 suit charging slander. It was filed by Walter F. McCaleb, former vice president and organizer of labor banks. Among other things Mc- Caleb had charged Lee with mis- management of the affairs of the Home Builders. Lee countered, accusing McCaleb with being vengeful because he had been de- feated for the presidency of the organization. The suit is still pend- ing: Lee entered railroad service in 1379 as brakeman for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, running out of Emporia, Kan. Lee’s rise in the Brotherhood was rapid. He got first national recognition when he received credit for averting the threatened general strike of all the transpor- tation brotherhoods in 1971. "n 1922 he again came to the front with his plan to settle all railway disputes under a regional syste1a and insisted that all strikes be called by the general officers of the nion. His famous statement that he vould “rather spend months in conference than one day in strikes” won him the respect of railway of- ficers and was largely responsible for his success in .c‘tling the nu- merous disputes.
