membership and broaden its scope
The governor promised to cooperate in
every way with l-le commercial organ

In discussing the question of an in
dustrial court, Governor Gillett said:
IF things do not improve something
will have to be done. L have not
reached definite conclusions on the sub
ject. but have given some thought to a
state court of arbitration, which would
have power to intervene in industrial
controversies. Such a court could be
composed, for instance, of one justice
from each OF the three appellate courts.
In cases of arbitration, as matters now
stand, all depends on one man. Each
side usually selects a representative
faVora BILE TO its own. cause and it falls
to the third member of the board to
settle the dispute. Such a permanent
court as 1 have suggested would be
without bias and would be in a position
to intervene in any industrial contro-
yersy that might arise.
How the decisions of such a court
would be enforced am not prepared to
say, as 1 have not given the subject
sufficient thought The matter might
be reduced to a basis similar to that
which obtains in other courts. Com
plants could be filed, testimony pre-
sented, arguments made and decisions
rendered"

Washington. Jan 10.-The Senate, by vote Of
seventy to one. passed the Railway Hours bill
to-day The bill passed was a substitute for
the one originally introduced by Senator La
Toilette. who availed himself of the suggestions
Of various Senators who had pointed out the un-
constitutionaty well the loosely drafted
character of the original bill. and who to-day
offered carefully drawn substitute embodying
the various suggestions made.
The bill as passed prohibits railways engaged
in interstate and foreign commerce from re-
quiring or permitting those of their employees
who have to do with the movement of trains to
work more than sixteen hours consecutively,
nor an aggregate Of more than sixteen in each
twenty-four hours. end requires that when an
employe shall have worked for sixteen hours
there shall follow period Of rest of not less
than ten hours before the employe shall resume
his duties. Certain exceptions are made to pro-
vide for accidents the failure of trains to make
their regular schedules, connections. etc. Viola

the Interstate Commerce Commission is charged
with the duty Of enforcing the law, and all au-
thority necessary to do is given 1t.
The bill as passed provides for substantially
the same reform that the original measure was IN
tended TO produce. but IN It's present form is a
model of concise legal phraseology, and Will. 1t
is believed, stand the test Of the courts. The

conviction that such enactments are violation

Washington. Jan. 10.-The line officers Of the
navy who are in Washington are making a
concerted effort to have enacted at the present
session of Congress the Personnel bill which
was submitted by the Navy Deps rtment as a
result Of the deliberations of n special board
and which WAS indorsed by the President IN a
special message to Congress.
The opposition of the staff corps and marina
corps has served to block the progress Of the
bill. and IT is historical that any sign OF oppo-
sition 70 the measure in short session Of Con-
gress is usually sufficient to destroy It's chances
of enactment. Under the most favorable con-
ditions the proposition Of radical changes in the
interest of promotion and contemplating an ir-
crease in the personnel would have hard
time getting through Congress. The President
is specially interested IN the measure. however.
and has caused the critics OF the bill within
risk of being court martialed if they Interfere
IN any way with the favorable consideration Of
the measure.
The provisions Of the bill arouse no opposi-
tion outside Of the fact that 1t does not 90 far
enough TO suit the staff officers Their claims
might yet be placed In tho committee amend
