millions of people that have invested their savings and

that will result to the transportation of the commerce

Public Investigation Urged

The questions involved are in our respectful judg-
ment eminently suitable for the calm investigation
and decision by the public through the agency of fair
arbitration, and cannot be disposed of to the public
satisfaction, in any other manner.
The decision Of Commission or Board of Arbi-
tration having the public confidence will be accepted
by the public and the social and financial rearrange-
ments made necessary thereby will be undertaken by
the public, but in no less deliberate nor orderly
manner
The railroads Of the country cannot under present
conditions assume this enormous increase in their
expenses. If imposed upor@them it would involve
many in early fncncal embarrassment and bank
ruptcy and imperil the power of all to maintain
their credit and the integrity Of their securities.
The immediate increase in cost, followed by other
increases that would be inevitable, would substan-
TALLY appropriate the present purchasing power Of
the railroads and disable them from expanding and
improving their facilities and equipment to keen
abreast Of the demands Of the country for efficient
transportation service.

WOMEN OF ENGLAND INVADE
THE FIELD OF ASTRONOMY

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
LoNON. Feb. 2o.-Astronomy is the
latest field OF human endeavor to be in
vaded by women. AS a career for women
it recently received impetus when the
Royal Astronomical society obtained q
supplementary charter from the crown
in order to admit women members as
fellows OF the society. Five women were
admitted TO membership and that many
more will presumably become fellows
after the March meeting.
