of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned posi-
tion in the public confidence.
The rates the railroads may charge the public for
transportation arc now largely fixed by this Govern-

Out of every dollar received by the railroads from
the public nearly one-half is paid directly to the em-
Federal Inquiry or
Railroad Strike? .
Are given the opportunities of their careers for dramatic, forceful, vivid work in this curious
drama founded on the popular novel of that name by William Hamilton Osborne.

THE CATSPAW
Mirian Nesbitt
* and
Marc Mac Dermott
Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen
that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of
$100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by
reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. J
With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads
have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such
a public body. ■ J
Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration
The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement o
the controversy is as follows:
™X«C°nfrTeS haVe de™nstra,ed4 that 'Ye ca"not harmonize our difference, of opinion and that eventually the
matters n controversy must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your
proposals and the proposition of the railways be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods: ?
Lenmnlltbdyinbfy ”<b.,?i88£n 1° th* In^rstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its
accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a posi-
necessarvm1 meetnth thctrlfht9 and ecFlt!es of al1 the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue
reasnn JhlP added c°str° operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and
thlt vveL mntlv’r the gent thc Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises,
oro nntlv dNnynspqnUfethCOngTS •takeJSU?1 actlon as ma? be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and
promptly dispose of the questions involved; or
2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law” (The Newlands Act).
Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote
Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New
une Ulb, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration
or federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether
authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike.
m- Inter1stat,e Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the
public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons:
ployes as wages; and thenaoney^opay increased wages
can come from no other source than the rates paid
by the public.
The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its con-
trol oyer rates, is in a position to make a complete
investigation and render such decision as would pro-
tect the interests of the railroad employes, the owners
of the railroads, and the public.
A Question For the Public to Decide
nMMnailr°ads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of
$10° 0°0,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting onh
one-ffith of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal thai
shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts.
The single issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by
impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.

Biliousness and Stomach Trouble.
‘ ‘Two years ago I suffered from fre-
quent attacks of stomach trouble and
biliousness,” writes Miss Emma Ver-

little food that agreed with me and I
became so dizzy and sick at my stom-
ach at times that I had to take hold
of something to keep from falling.
Seeing Chamberlain’s Tablets adver-
tised I decided to try them. I im-
proved rapidly. ” Obtainable every-
