PLACES ALL FUTURE
 LABOR RATE MAKING
 WITH COMMISSION
Junior Senator Stated He Favored Eight-Hour Bill and With This
 Section All Troubles of This i; Kind Would Be Eliminated
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, September 1-(SpeciaD Unions which. with watch in hand have demanded, with threat of destruc- tion, the passage within a certain and brief time limit Legislation entirely fa- vorable to them, scored this afternoon when the House enacted the Atkinson eight-hour bill,
 According to prearrangement, the Adamson bill will be substituted in the Senate for the Newlands bill and. in all probability, will be passed to- morrow afternoon and then Congress, having responded to only one of six proposals of the President, will have obviated the threatened trainmen strike. There is nothing to indicate that the other proposals will be con sidered before December.
 UNDERWOOD SPEAKS
 In the Senate this afternoon Senator Underwood spoke in defense of sec- tion 6 of the Newlands bill That sec tion, it is now known, was prepared by Senator Underwood and before it's incorporation had had no considera- ton by the President. The section provides that following the report of the commission to be named to study the application of the eight-hour law. rate-making of the future shall be. in the event of disagreement between em- ployer and employe, a function of the interstate commerce commission.
 Very vigorous was the defense of the section by its author. He declared that to pass a bill requiring railroads to pay trainmen the wages of 10 hours for eight hours work and to ignore at the same time the great American public which deserves protection from future possible industrial catastrophes would be to purchase peace at the price of principle.
 FAYORS EIGHT-HOUR DAY
 He declared that he would support the eight-hour bill because, in the first place, he had always favored the eight-hour day; and in the sncond place because it's passage would avert a nationwide strike. He added, how ever, that the other proposals of the President should be enacted, a meas ure requiring the commerce commits sion to consider the increase of freight rates and measure making strikes of the future practically impossible, the one in behalf of the railroads and the other in behalf of the long suf- fering public.
 UNDERWOOD'S ARGUMENT
 It was his argument that a refer ence to the commerce commission of future rate controversies would give the man who labors court of equity and that in the future it would not be necessary for him in an effort to se- cure justice either to bend a servile knee or resort to anarchy"
 "The passage of the bill containing this section" continued Senator Un- derwood, would carry out the Presi- dents proposal that means be insti- tuted which would prevent recur- renee of the present situation. The ac- tion of the commerce Commission

Washington, September 1.-When galleries were thronged to capacity, many railroad officials and represen- tatives of the brotherhoods being i'm the audience. The House was repre- scented by score of members, includ- ing Speaker Clark, who occupied a seat on the Senate floor near Senator Un- derwoOd.
 In asking unanimous consent to lay aside the Senate bill and take up the one sent over from the House. Senator Newlands criticized Congress for not re- spending to the Presidents demand for legislation which would serve as a pro- lection against future labor crisis, and declared members feared to face the issue because of the political campaign
 'The fact is,' he said, "that Congress Is not prepared to meet the issues that Woodrow Wilson is prepared to meet. and legislation which is necessary must go over until another day.''
 UNDERWOOD AMENDMENT
 When the Senate bill was out of the way, Senator Underwood, in order to get the main issue up, offered as an amend ment to the House bill the provision of the discarded measure which would give thority to fix wages and hours of labor within six months or a year after the passage of the bill. This provision, Sena- tors Newlands and Underwood contend ed, would protect the interests of the railroads and the public and at the same time provide the railroad workers with a governmental arbitral court ever free- ing them from the necessity of resorting to the mailed fist to secure their rights.
 POSTPONING FATAL DAY
 Senator Thomas also said that Congress and not the President was evading the responsibility of meeting a great emer- gency without fear and in way 10 make its action permanent In character.
 T am afraid" said he. "that If we yield this time we are only postponing the day of final wrath to come''
 Senator Cummins made long speech against the House bill He said the coun- try was COnlTOnlcu Wltn dppdHlH6 QlS- aster and he was not prepared to say that senators should not yield some of their convictions to avert 1t. though It was impossible for him to believe the problem should be solved in the way pro- posed. He declared in his opinion the amendment of Senator Underwood would absolutely destroy the object of the bill. and he doubted if it would be satisfac- tory to the brotherhood leaders.
 The Iowa senator said lie believed the four brotherhood chiefs were intelligent and patriotic men. who would do only what they considered their duty. IT ac- quit them he said. ''of any motive of coercing Congress in the slightest pos sible degree"

THE SPEED OF SHIPS.
influence of the Depth of Water and
the "Wave of TransIationU

influence of the Depth of Water and
the "Wave of Translation"
On first thought the seas depth
seems of little Importance If the ship
finds depth enough to give her an easy
draft. If she can run free apparently
it makes little difference whether she
has six feet or 600 feet between her
keel and the bottom. Such an infer
ence is, however, erroneous, for the
depth exercises an important influence.
The British cruisers Blake and Blen-
helm were expected to run twenty one
knots, but actually ran two knots less
in shallow water. They ran again un-
der the same power, but the depth
was between 135 and 165 feet, and
their speed was twenty-five knots, one
knot in excess of the maximum cal
culation.
The difference in speed is attributed
to the influence of the wave of trans
lation" displaced by the ship as she
moves forward, which acts as a brake.
The nearer the ships keel to the bot
tom the stronger the friction. A ship
uld w wv city -SCf Gil LCCL VI WdIOI-
say a ship of 10000 tonnage-feels
that friction over a depth of 250 feet
According to some calculations, the
dragging influence ceases to be felt
at a depth equal to ten and one-half
times the draft if the ship stands high
out of the water.
A curious feature of the matter is
that the speed of the ship is as impor
tant an element as the depth of the
water-that is to say, the influence of
the depth on the ships speed is more
or less powerful in proportion as the
speed is great. A ship increases her
speed more readily over deep water;
but, on the other hand, the faster q
ship runs the more depth of water she
requires to prevent the hindrance
caused by the dragging influence of
the friction which is always felt when
the ships keel senses bottom
Running ten knots an hour, a ship
must have between tWenty-six and
twenty-seven feet Of depth or she is
dragged from below. If running
twenty knots she needs depth of 104
to 1O5 feet, and when running thirty
knots she feels the drag over a depth
of nearly 324 feet.-EXchange
