The widespread effect upon the industries of the

Public Investigation Urged

The questions involved are in respectful judg-
ment, emnently suitable for the calm investigation
and decision by the public through the agency OF ar
arbitration and cannot be disposed Of to the public
satisfaction in any other manner.
The decision of a Commission or Board Of Arbt-
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 upon them it would involve
many in early financial embarrassment and bank
ruptcy and mperil 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 keep
abreast Of the demands of the country for efficient
transportation service.

 NEW YORK, Oct 30-C Colonel F. l.. Price. ex-chairman of the democratic state committee of New Jersey an- nounced today that he intends to vote and work for the election of Charles F.. Hughes 10 the presidency and will ex- ert all his influence to defeat Mir. Will son. Colonel Price was for fourteen years head of the Essex county demo cratic committee and is one of the best known democrats of New Jersey. He described himself as true democrat. whose grandfather fought in the revo- lution."
 He says that since his youth he has followed the democratic flag in victory and in defeat. He supported Wilson for the governorship of New Jersey six years ago and for the presidency in 1912. But a vote for his reelection means an endorsement of his foreign policy" Says Colonel Price And be- lieve that the course has pursued is d national disgrace When we consider that hundreds of American citizens have been butchered, American women outraged, American children slaught- cred American habitations on Ameri- can soil burned and destroyed to say nothing of millions of dollars worth of American property wrecked or stolen. all while President Wilson pursued his declared policy of watchfu waiting. How shall we apologize in behalf of the | honor of the American nation? Out rages committed by MeXicans on Amer ! ican citizens are still going on and SC l Is the presidents policy of 'watchful | waiting while he is giving the Ameri- | can people words words, words and l adroit and facilo elocution.'
