Correspondence OF the Assoclat-

spouslble positions. the work Is prin-
cipally done by women, In oven

arc dressed In the uniform Of their
male colleagues but with skirt or

But the main work Of women is
IN the factories. The skilled work
has now more and moro passed into
their hands. as well as the carrying
OF heavy loads. AZ the turning
bench at the furnaces, everywhere
they are met with. Their wages at

The results Of women's work In
the mining industry are termed very
satisfactory. The sorting OF sweep

loading of freight cars, Is performed
by woman's hands and arms. and a

dorous chemicals. Nor does it explain
the detention of the men in transit for
seven days on end. There is hardly any
journey in the country which needs so
much time even for trains of moderate
speed. The failure either to have trans
ports ready or to make arrangements
for camping at the terminal point is up
to the war department. Some failure
in coordination is clearly indicated
We urge a rigid inquiry not in any
captious spirit of fault finding, but with
a view to instant and radical reform.
Moving of troops is to be one of the con-
slant occupations of the army officials
and the railroads for months to come.
Surely there is enough practical ability
in the country to perform this compare
lively simple task without hitch or flaw.
Now is the time to detect and coryect

Hardship to Troops on the Rail.

Currency is being given to a story
that troops being moved from the in
terror to the seaboard en- route for Eu-
rope are subjected TO considerable hard
ship through negligence or bad manage
ment on the part OF the war department
or the railroads, or both. According to
published version the men have been
cooped up on trains, bound for some I'M
specified coast city, as long as seven days
without opportunity for exercise or re-
taxation. Only day coaches and tourist
cars have been provided, so that they
have been deprived of refreshing sleep;
their food has been limited to travel ra-
tions, against which the stomach revolts
after week or SO; ice water has not
been supplied. Upon arrival at their
destination there was some hitch, so
that the men We're held in the cars on
siding for three days more without re-
lief from the unhealthy and wearing con-
dltions of their journey.
If all the things alleged are literally
true they would seem like a bad be-
ginning in the departmental handling of
the soldiers. Perhaps there is some ex-
aggeration in detail, but it is to be
feared that there is considerable founda-
ton for the complaints made. Perhaps
the degree of hardship was not specially
great; but the public win not easily see
the need for any hardship at all when
the number of men under arms and in
motion is relatively trifiing and the
problem OF their transportation ought
not to be supremacy difficult The ques-
ton naturally suggests itself as to what
will happen when million or so of men
are modified
The incident calls for searching in
yestigation and radical cure of whatever
has gone wrong The railroads will no
doubt plead shortage Of rolling stock due
TO lack OF money. Very likely the de- |
tense is good, but it does not explain the |
