RAILROADS GEORGE
AND OVERWORK
THEIR EMPLOYEES

Washington, Jan. 1O-In view Of the
fact that the senate has agreed 10 vote at
o'clock today on the bill limiting the
hours OF service OF railway employees, con-
siderable time was devoted yesterday TO
that measure.
The discussion was opened by Mr.. La
Toilette, who declared that the measure
had received the Endorsement OF the ma
tional organizations OF all classes of rail-
way employees, and that the opposition
now being manifested was from employees
who had been coerced by the railroads to
present protests.
The discussion became general, being
participated in by Senators Bacon, War
rem. Dolliver, Patterson, Hepburn, CALM
ger and Beverdge.
Senators Dolliver and Brandegee have
offered substitutes and nearly every sen
ator who has spoken on the measure has
suggested amendments TO the measures
so that there are large number pending
Tho vote on these amendments Will be
taken before the vote on the bill, but
there will be no voting until o'clock to-
day.
In support OF his contention that the
railroads had been very busy since the
the bill, Mr.. La Toilette yesterday read
a set of resolutions condemning the BILL
presented 10 a lodge OF railway employees,
the name of which he withheld by Il. I,
Lamb, division superintendent of the
Southern railway. The lodge applied for
information on the subject TO ii. II. Full
Ter, legislative representative OF the rail-
way employees national organization, and
had not Endorsed the resolutions

Mr. La Toilette showing I'm all the train
men involved had been on duty from II
to 43 hours, continuously.
When the 43-hour record was given Sen
Beveridge wanted TO Know the road on
which the accident had occurred. He said
he was shocked, as he believed every
other senator was. that any road would
keep a man on duty AZ hours.
Senator La Toilette said for obvious
reasons he would not give the name OF
the road and explained that IT developed
that in many cases the men themselves
were responsible for the long hours.
tentative understanding was reached
yesterday justifying the expectation that
a vote on the general service pension bill
will be taken next Friday. The measure
was debated at some length during yes
terday's session, and received no vital
criticism. but many Communications.

swings which for the most part were
wild. Corbett was knocked TO his knees
with a rlght-hander on the point of the
jaw Corbett was groggy and reeling

Murphy was still the aggressor. He
rushed in with left-handers in the face
and some hard right-hand swings, one of

Murphy LANDED more blows on the head
and body. but they did no harm. Corbett
was anxious now and began swinging

II was the same old story. Murphy pep
pered his man with sharp left handlers on
the mouth. eyes and nose, alternating
with body blows that did no damage. Cor
bett tried In vain TO land a knockout
punch. but he could not reach the mark.
Murphy was in far better condition at
the end OF the mill, which was all in his
favor.
