FIGHT EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
Wisconsin Central to Test Statute Reg
ulating Operators.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 28.-It became
known here that the Wisconsin Cen
trail railroad is contemplating legal
fight to test the validity Of the Clever
eight-hour law applying to telegraph
operators of the railroads of the state
While the Northwestern and the ST.
Paul roads will, temporarily at least
obey the law the latter roads will at
tach telephone systems to block wires
and will try the telephone system.
Assemblyman Clever, the author of
the law, said he would personally see
that the first violation of the law
after it went into effect on Jan. 1,
would be followed by prosecution in
order to test the constitutionality of
the act as soon as possible.
The smaller roads of the state, it is
said. will obey the law until results of
the telephone experiments and the
legal fight over the law are made
known.
Assemblyman Clever says that the
law also applies to train dispatching
by telephone and therefore the roads
will gain nothing by putting in a tele-
phone system.
