RAILROAD HOURS
IA rOLLETrE BILL PASSES IN
 SENATE.

 Votes No.

washineton, Jan. 10.-By a vote of seventy to one the Senate today passed . bill providing that railway employees engaged in the handlingsof trains shall not work more than sixteen consecutive hours which period is to be followed by ten hours off duty.
 The one negative vote cast was by Senator Pettus.
 The bill which was finally passed was a substitute offered today by Senator amended in several respects by the Sem ate.
 The bill provides that under certain contingencies and in the case of acci- dent, the time fixed may be exceeded. The enforcement of the law is placed in the hands of the Interstate Com merce Commission and the federal courts; the penalty provided Is fine of not less than $100 nor more than S1,000. The act is to apply to trains doing an interstate or foreign conn merce business.
 The original bill and the substitute heretofore reported by the committee Many amendments were accepted and many rejected and when this had been accomplished, Senator Brandigee offered an entire substitute which muddled the parliamentary situation to such an ex- tent that half an hour of explanation was necessary before 1t was finally de- cided that it could be voted on. This vote resulted in the rejection of the substitute, 23 to 45.
 Senator La Toilette then presented his substitute. which, on roll call. was accepted, 36 to g. It was then in or der to offer amendments to this sub- stitute and many were presented. Roll call followed roll call as these amend nnents came forward but three of them were adopted, one by Senator McCum- Der making an exception to the time limit in the case of trains delayed be- cause of unexpected delays in making train connections; another by Senator Mallory modifying the penalty. and the third by Senator Gallinger substituting the words .soff duty" for the words flor rest" in the provision regarding the rest period.
 Among the amendments rejected was one by Senator Bacon excepting from the operation of the laws railroads wholly within State. This was de- feated upon roll call, the vote being Is to s6. Senator LaFollette failed In his endeavor to add new section to his substitute fixing the liability of the roads in case of accident.
 The final vote was then taken on the bill,
