SHORTER RAILWAY HOURS
I.aFolIette's Statement Regarding the
Bill He Wants Passed.


Washington, Jan. 10.-In view of the
fact that the senate has agreed to vote
at 3 a. m. today on the bin limiting
the hours of service Of railway en-
pioyes considerable time was devoted
in the senate to that measure. The
discussion was opened by LaFollette,
who declared that the measure had
received the Endorsement of the nation
al organizations of all classes of rail-
way employees, and that the opposition
now being manifested was from EN-
ployes who had been coerced by the
railroads to present protests.
A long record of accidents was read
by LaFollette, showing that in all the
trainmen involved had been on duty
from seventeen to forty three hours
continuously. When the forty-three-
hours record was given Beverage
wanted to know the road on which the
accident had occurred. LaFoIlette said
that for obvious reasons he would not
give the name of the road, and ex-
planned that it developed that in many
cases the men themselves were respon-
slble for the long hours.
