WHY PUBLISH IN GERMANY
Writer Makes Plea for Dissemination
of Scientific Literature in the
English Language.

1t has been the habit of most of
our English and American scientists,
as well as those in other countries,
to publish their discoveries first in
German and then (if they get to it)
to publish in their own language,
writes Frank A. Spragg in Science.
A few years ago, when desiring an
English translation of a German
four-volume work on the breeding of
field crops, the present writer To-
Gated translators, took up the mat
ter with the publisher and looked
for an English publisher. The
American publishing houses agreed
that the data should be in English,
but considered that they would not
sell enough copies to pay for the I'M
dertaking.
Is it not about time that the Eng
disappearing people see to it that
the scientific literature be published
in English? Germany has furnished
public funds when the publisher Of
technical data was not able to sell
enough copies to make q profit.
Can't the English-speaking people
do as well?

Sharing Advocated.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Establish-
ment of system of protit-sharing by
employees is only one of the far
reaching provisions of the bill for the
restoration of the country's railroads
to private ownership, favorably re-
ported to the senate by Senator Cum
minis, Republican. Of Iowa, as chair
man of the senate interstate COM
merce committee.
The measure provides for repeal
of the federal control act Of March
81, 1918, and return of the railroads
on the last day Of the calendar month
in which it becomes a law.
Rates In force when the repeal
takes effect are to remain in force
until changed by competent author
ity."
In many respects the bill IS extraor-
binary for the revolutionary changes
and the sweeping changes in railroad
ownership, management and opera
ton incorporated In 1t.
The bill is also designed to prohib-
1t strikes and lockouts of railroad en-
ployees under penalties Of fine and
Imprisonment. 1t would create q
committee on wages and working con-
ditiOns, which would pass upon dis
putes. Any carrier refusing to carry
out the decision of the committee,
upon conviction, would be fined not
more than $500, or Imprisonment for
not more than six months, or both.
The same punishment would be ap-
piled to 'two or more persons enter
ing into any combination with the in
tent substantially to hinder the move
ment of commodities, or persons in
interstate commerce"
