 SUBMITTED TO MEMBERS
 This matter has been submitted to its members for referendum by the national chamber in accordance with it's usual custom and trade bodies ing action in regard to it. The vote must be completed by June g.
 In submitting it's report to the board of directors of the United States Cham Der of Commerce the committee which was appointed to investigate this ques- ton and the need for action to pro- tect the business interests of the coun- try used the following language:
 "Your committee is profoundly i'm pressed with the gravity of the exist ing situation and with the importance of having the people of the United States realize how seriously every in- terest will be affected by the threat ened interruption of railroad traffic.
 Your committee is also convinced that, notwithstanding the burdens at present resting upon the interstate commerce commission. there is no more important service which the commits soin could undertake in the public in- terest than that hereafter proposed, nor is there any other existing agency which enjoys the confidence of the men, the railroads, and the public and is in every respect qualified to con duct an accurate and impartial inves- tigation of the question involved in the present controversy"

IN a revival of that ancient classic of the stage, David Garrick," Dustin
 Farnum is offered at the Strand. Dus- tin Farnum is the premier matinee idor' Of the screen, and he appears to have been made for the part of gentleman of the days when duelling and powdered wigs were quite fashionable. The sup porting cast is all that could be desired, and the production, under the Pallas management, ranks high.
 Dustin Farnum has appeared on screens in Birmingham often, but David Garrick' is by far the most pretentous production he has starred in, and it is well worth seeing.
