Eight-Hour Bill Passed House.
Washington, Sept. 1.—The
house late Friday passed the
eight-hour bill, which was urged
by President Wilson, to prevent
the threatened railway strike by
a vote of 239 to 56, The senate
began considering the measure
at 8 o’clock Friday night and
planned, with the exception of a
brief recess, to remain in session
until definite action should be
taken.
As passed by the house the
bill is acceptable to the railway
brotherhood leaders. Unless it
is seriously altered in the senate,
the strike order, which was to
become effective next Monday
morning, will be recalled.
The bill provides that the eight-
hour day shall become effective
Jan. 1. 1917.
The present pay for the ten-
hour day shall apply to the
shorter day.
Overtime shall be paid pro
rata.
The railroads exempted in-
clude lines independently owned
and operated not exceeding 100
miles in length, electric street
railroads and electric interurban
roads. Railroads of less than
100 miies, whose principal busi-
ness is furnishing terminal or
transfer facilities, are not ex-
empt.
It is certain that a determined
effort will be made in the senate
to amend the house bill so as to
empower the interstate com-
mission to adjust wages and fix
the number of hours that shall
constitute a workday. Strong
sentiment prevailed in the senate
that the Adamson bill affords no
protection to the shipper and
the public in general.
The amendment is favored by
the railway executives but op-
posed by the brotherhood chiefs.
A. B. Garretson, -spokesman
for the conductors, refused to
make any comment when asked
to state the attitude of the broth-
erhoods.
‘T do not want to set myself
up in judgment while the senate
has the matter under considera-
tion,” he said.
Garretson and W. S. Stone of
the locomotive engineers spent
the greater part of the day in the
house gallery listening to the de-
bater
President Wilson left Wash-
ington for Shadow Lawn in the
afternoon after having informed
the members of his cabinet that
he considered all danger of a
strike had passed. He will re-
turn to Washington tomorrow
night after the notification cere-
mony with the expectation of
finding the eight-hour bill ready
for his signature.
The iast of the executives left
Washington during the after-
noon after expressing the opin-
ion that the strike crisis had
passed. They announced that
plans were already under way to
test the constitutionality of the
eight-hour law on the ground
that it is class legislation and
confiscatory. They want the en-
tire legislative program proposed
by President Wilson.
Rev. J. M. Brooks spent the
greater part of this week in Cole-
man with his daughter. He was
accompanied home by his grand-
daughter, Miss Eioise Stovall.
