If the investors can be convinced that capital invested in the railroads will be given proper consideration in ths solvipg of all problems, that . most pressing problem, the raising of the great amount of money needed for new construction and development, can be easily solved.” Mr. Muir rehearsed the conflict be- tween the railroad executives and em- ployes and the passage of the Adamson “We are glad that the federal wo-| Washington, Dee, l4—Informdtion man suffrage amendment has finally | regarded by some officials as confirm- been reported to the house,” said Miss |Ing the killing of Howard Gray, or aw, “The brotherhoods made a great mis- take,” he declared. “Thelr course will sol: stand the test.

It is expected that in the event of a resumption of zeneral confer- ences by the commission this informa- tion will be compared with the re- ports received by the Mexican com- missioners. Among reports received by the de- partuent today and forwarded to the commissioners was one .from Guana- Juato telling of the heavy death ratc among the poor. Others told of a se- rious economic situation in many other parts of Mex!co. Ofliciais here remained igncrant to- night of the action: taken by General Carranza relative 10 ~the protocol signed at Aaltntic City. It was not believed that he had instructed his spokesmen to make any determincd ef- fori to amead that part referring to conditions for the withdrawal of the American_troops, but it was thousht more probable -that he had, sent by Alberto J.

Since this declaration was made at an offi- clal session of the commission, it is regarded as probable that General Carranza has considered it as no less official than the protocol itself.
