Women were first employed in any
numbers by the railroads about a year
ago. Miss Goldmark said, at the in
stance of the railroad war board. They
were put on the clerical positions ex
perimentally, but their use has been
extended until now they are In the
freight yards, section gangs, shops and
roundhouses.
While much of the work Is suitable
to them, manr occupations Involve
heavy physical strain and other haz
ards. Miss Goldmark doubted the ad
visability of employing women on sec
tion gangs for work out of doors In all
conditions of weather and without
proper attention to their physical wel
fare.

Chamber of Commerce of United
States Declares That Teuton
Militarism Must Yield.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 28. An over
whelming vote in tavor of a resolution
warning German ousiness men that an
economic combination will be formed
against Germany arcer the war unless
the danger of excessive armament is
removed by making the German gov
ernment a responsible Instrument con
trolled by tho people, was announced
tonight by the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States at the conclusion
of a preliminary canvass of its organ
izatlon members.
The rote aa recorded to date is 1204
to 154.
A referendum on the resolution was
ordered on January 12 and copies were
sent to each of the 1000 local commer
cial and industrial organizations com
prising the National Chamber. Each
organization has from one to 10 votes,
according to its membership.
Following la the resolution:
"Whereas, The size of Germany'
present armament and her militaristi
attitude have been due to the fact tha
her government Is a military autocracy
not responsible to the German people
and.
Whereas, The size of the German
armament after the war will be the
measure of the greatness of the arma
ment forced on all nations; and.
"Whereaa, Careful analysis of eco
nomic conditions shows that the size of
Germany's future armament will funda
mentally depend on her after-war re
ceipts of raw materials and profits
from her foreign trade; and.
Whereas, In our opinion, the Ameri
can people for the purpose of prevent
ing an excessive armament, will as
auredly enter an economic combination
against Germany, If governmental con
dltions In Germany make it necessary
for self-defense; and.
"Whereaa, We believe the American
people will not join in discrimination
against German goods after the war If
the danger of excessive armament has
been removed by the fact that the Ger
man government has in reality become
a responsible instrument controlled by
the German people; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States of
America earnestly calls the attention of
the business men of Germany to these
conditions and urges them also to study
this situation and to co-operate to the
end that a disastrous economic war
may be averted and that a lasting
peace nisy be made more certain.

SITUATION NOW CRITICA
If U. S. and Allies Do Not Join I
With Japan, That Nation Is Like
ly to Be Impelled to Proceed
on lis Own Account.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. An early
decision probably will be reached
the momentous question as to whethe
America and the entente allies shall
join Japan in a campaign in Eastern
Siberia to counteract possible German
activities in that quarter and save th
great supply of military stores accu
mulated at Vladivostok and interior
points on the Siberian railway.
It has been understood that this de
cislon might await the arrival in Wash
ington of Viscount Ishil, the newly ap
pointed Japanese Ambassador to the
United States, but it was said tonight
that recent developments, including
creasing pressure from entente sources,
very likely would cause a more speedy
determination of the question.
Supreme Council to Art Later.
It is learned that this is not regarded
as a problem for the consideration, at
the present stage at least, of the su
preme war council in France, which, if
t treats the subject at all, will dea
with it only as a military matter after
the question of policy has been decided
by the governments of the entente
allies and America.
It is freely admitted in official circles
that this is a very great question In
deed. A radical departure from estab
lished rules of international law non'd
be Involved in the forcible entry Into a
neutral country, and consideration must
be given to the possible effect upon the
Russian people of such a course in their
relations to the present war.
Russian Action Feared.
Already there has been some appre
hension that great numbers of Rus
slan soldiers, rather than return to
their farms and shops, would volun
tarily join the central armies, and
some evidence of a foundation for this
fear Is found in Berlin dispatches
announcing the entry Into the Ger
man army of several regiments of
Esthonlans.
On the other hand growing indica
tions that Japan cannot much longer)
be restrained from taking some action
n Siberia are causing serious conslder-
tion of the Japanese invitation to the
ntente allies and America to partici
pate.
One Alternative Left.
The alternative would be to withhold
from Japan the co-operation she holds

MEN ASSERT CONSPIRACY
Resolutions condemning United States
Senator Chamberlain's war-cabinet bill
were adopted by tha Central Labor ! ional -Itht.
Louiietl last night. Objections to the
measure were based on the grounds
that It undertook to usurp govern
mental functions properly belonging to
the President, and that in the appoint

members, labor probably would be ex
cluded from representation.
The council indorsed the plan, similar
to that originated by the people of
Great Britain, proposing a National
conference to be called by the Presi
dent of representatives of labor
throughout the United States for the
urpose of working out. a solution of
the various economic problems that

ST. PAUL, Feb. 28. (Special.) A. C.
Townley. president of the National Non

day ou a warrant charging him with
conspiring to discourage enlistments
and to obstruct the draft.
The charges were based on a section
of a pamphlet issued last June in which
the "war issues" of the league were put
forth among other features included in
its propaganda. Joseph Gilbert, secre
tary of the league, was arrested on a
similar warrant.
Pamphlet Is Defended.
In a statement issued by Mr. Townley,
the pamphlet is said to have "set forth
