Hughes in srecent Speeches that
the basis on which the recently
threatened railroad strike Was a.
verted was merely an increase OF
wages for the emp'oves

while the railroad legislation pas :
ed by Congress to meet the sitn
alton will give the employees a.
least a temporary increase in paw
the most important point is that
it establishes the eignt-hnue da
as the basis of work for railroad
wor1m en-.
The Preside-t will make known
his views either in speech al
Shadow Lane. or in a letter.
Democratic leaders expect the Re
publicans to continue their efforts
to make the strike settlement ar
issue, and it was said today that
Mr.. Wilson will welcome such an
argument.
Mr.. Wilson expects to make
clear that he will not be satisfied
until Congress enacts into the
law the rest of the railroad legis-
lation he recommended when the
strike was threatened, including
an increase in the Interstate Com
MERGE Com mission and measure
for an investigation of controver
sizes between railroads and their
employers before strikes or lock-
outs result.
The President already has be-
gun the work of selecting tne
board to investigate the operation
of the eight-hour day on railroads,
although the new arrangement
will not 60 into effect for several
months. He will seek, it was
said to day, to appoint a board
which will have the full conf
