President of American Shore Line Railroad Association Makes Some 5
 Pertinent Remarks.

Washington, June 3.-Demand that railroad employees submit to govern ment regulations as do the companies was made by President Birde M. Rob- irson, today at the convention here of the American Short Line Railroad association.
 While government regulation Of the carriers is expanded to the most minute details" he said, the em- ployes are left to exercise their own sweet will, which they often do Tn a most autocratic way. Wage de- mands have absorbed already the $1,- OOO,OoO,00O rate increase which is being paid by the public"
 In view of the 'reckless extrava- gance'' of the government in all its business" MT. Robinson said, the demand for railroad economy was ri .l1 ulous" He denounced the claim of SIS, 100000 saved in the first year of government operation as un- Justified and charged that, in fact, government operation caused deficit of $1,OOO,OO0 every day in the first 16 months of government control.

HORRORS OF SIBERIA DESCRIBED BY A
 GIRL REPORTER
45O0OO People Crowded Into Omsk, City of 6O000; Refugees Dwell in Holes in the Snow - Epidemics Spread Like Wldfre-Corpses Found in Rooms Full of Sick Sufferers-Thousands Homeless With the Temperature at 60 Below Zero.
tBy Peggy Hull, N. E. A Staff Cor respondent Covering Russia
 and Siberia)

Omsk. Siberia--If Vladivostolz is the waste basket of humanity. then Omsk is a huge cauldron in which human life is being fried out' like pork fat in a packing plant.
 Survival here means nine parts luck and one part constitution for one may brave typhus, Siberian plague, smallpox and other deadly diseases only to be blown up in a Bol- shevik plot, shot in a street fight or run over by an autom obile.
 It has ceased to be a question with these people of where or how they i'll. They ask for life and that is all-and they pay an agonizing price in order to walk upon the earth and keep their spirits in this troubled world.
 Omsk, before the revolution, was a city of about 60,O0O. Refugees from Russia fled here in the hope of getting through to Vladivostok, Japan and even America. The major portion were caught in the jam of traffic.
 There was no transportation. and they were forced to remain, with the result that a city ordinarily capable of housing transient population of 25,000, finds about 450,OO0 people
 
 families.
 As there were no roofs to be had a most appalling state was created Fifteen and twenty people, men, WOm- en and children were forced to live in a room ten by twelve They slept on tables, on the flat brick stoves, the floor, boxes. or anything with an even surface.
 Many of the quarters were only dugouts-hoIes scouged out of the snow, with a few trunks as beams and clnders or ashes for the floor.
 Epidemics Spread.
 To think of one family living under these conditions is not so bad for they can be changed; but when thou sands are doing the same thing it secms almost hopeless.
 Epidemics spread like fire in a match factory.
 Sometimes the American Red Cross workers would find a whole roomful sick and unable to move, with three or four corpses in the crowd, dead no one could tell how long.
 And the people who had to sub init to this sort of an existence were for the most part women from
 
 of luxury before the revolution.
 An admiraFs wife and daughter arrived in Omsk in a box car They had only the clothing which they Wore-nothing to change with They had no soap, no tooth paste not an extra pair of stockings. and there wasn't a shop in Omsk where any of these articles could be pur- chased
 They could find no rooms, and thev lave had to live in that box car during the whole bitter winter. with the thermometer at 59 and 60 below l zero the greater part of the time. An American Red Cross worker found them. They were in pitia ble condition-ha lf-dead from ill-nourish- ment, hardships and lack of clothing. From her own small store of personal belongings she gave them the things they needed, and which the Red Cross did not supply.

 Killed By Bolshevil<s.
 Her father had been killed by the Bolsheviks. A stone was tied around his feet and he was dropped over board like a bag of sand.
 Yena Kramkoff pleads for Allied intervention.
 Russia's salvation can never come from within,' she explains Git is too late-the real Russians were, for the most part, killed during the first years of the German war. The Bolsheviks murdered the remnants and now there are only few-one or two here and there in this great country What can they hope to accomplish alone ?''
 Yena Kramkoff is a representative Russian woman. They are eager energetic, intelligent and ardent patriots. The same thing is true of all the classes. From the women who work side by side with their men in the fields on up through the various stratas they are spirited, industrious and full of the love of life.
 The Allied officers are inclined to believe the Russian women are superior to the men. They form their conclusions from their associa- tions with the Russian men. They the Russian coura geous than the men-that they have more character, more stamina But the Russian women deny this, and explain the broad difference in the ghastly losses during the war
