l. the senate yesterday passed a bill pro-
viding that railway employees engaged In
tho handling OF trains shall not work
more than l6 consecutive hours. which
period is 10 be followed by 10 hours on
duty. The one negative vote was cast
by Senator Pettus
The result was reached after an entire
day spent in consideration OF the sub
ject. The parliamentary situation was
confused during the entire time. caused
by the 10 pending amendments and the
three substitutes for the original bill.
The bill which was finally passed was a
substitute offered yesterday by Senator
La Toilette and not in print 1t was
amended in several respects. The bill
provides that under certain contingencies
and in case OF accident the time fixed
may be exceeded.
The enforcement OF the law In placed
I'm the hands OF the interstate commerce
commission and the federal courts. and
the penalty provided Is a fine or not less
than 500 nor more than $1,000 The act
Is TO apply to trains doing an interstate or
foreign commerce business.
The voting was begun at O'Clock, tne
time preceding having been given over
to discussion. The original bill and the
substitute for It reported by the commit
tee were first taken up; Many % amend
ments were accepted and many rejected,
and when this had been accomplished,
Senator Brandegee offered an entire sub
stitute which muddled the parliamentary
situation 10 such an extent that nalf-
hour OF explanation was necessary before
it was finally decided that IL could be
voted on. This vote resulted in the re-
lection OF the substitute. 2S TO 10. Senator
La Toilette then presented his substitute,
which on roll call was accepted, % TO s2
