NO TRAIN ORDERS
BY TELEPHONE
Madison, Jan. 2

JAN.
Two years ago the legislature en-
acted a law establishing an S-hour
day for all railway telegraphers. This
action promptly drove the companies,
in the interest of economy, to substl-
tute the telephone for the telegraph
in train dispatching. Yesterday IN
the assembly. Frank Hammell OF
Spooner introduced two bills calculat-
ed to counteract the consequences of
that law. Neither mentions the tele-
phone, but one absolutely requires
that train orders OF every descrip-
ton be given by telegraph, while the
other, sort of supplementary, specific
ally forbids the movement of trains
except by telegraphic direction.
Lawyers affirm that a regulation OF
this kind probably will be construed
by the courts as unconstitutional be-
cause in the nature of an unreaSon-
able invocation of the police power.
