WANTS 5TORESIST
ADAMSON STATUTE

New York, Oct. 2.-Edward p. Rip
ley, president Of the Atchison. Tope-
ka & Santa Fe railway sent yesterday
to stockholders of the company an
appeal to work for the passage Of
remedial legislation to meet the situa-
ton created by the passage by con-
gress Of the eight-hour law.
This company believes that tho act
which congress has passed is uncon-
stitutional and that steps should be
taken to resist it in every lawful man
ner." he says in his Communication.
After reviewing the negotiations at
Washington leading up to the passage
Of the eight-hour law Mr.. Ripley calls
attention to the fact that the presi-
dent recomme ended that congress ex-
plicity approve Of consideration by
the interstate commerce commission
Of an increase in freight rates to meet
the wage increase charge resulting
and also prohibit strikes until after
the investigation. The brotherhoods
he said. have made it clear they will
resist such legislation. It appears, he
says. that until some remedial legis-
lation shall be adopted the only way
to avert tie-ups Is for congress to
grant by special legislation whatever
demands labor combinations may in
sist upon as their price for permitting
the people to continue to enjoy rail-
way transportation

Senator Clarke had been president
pro tempore of the senate since the
1913. He was chosen by the party
caucus to succeed the late Senator
Frye of Maine after spirited contest
and was reelected to the place in the
Sixty-fourth congress despite determ-
ined opposition based on his sensa-
tional revolt against the administra-
ton ship purchase bill in the previous
congress.
The railroad eight-hour bill was
passed with Senator Clarke in the
chair. but he was one of two Demo-
cratic senators to vote against the
measure and he refused to sign It. He
appointed Senator Hughes as acting
president pro tempore when the bill
was presented at the presiding off,
GERS chair for signature.
Senator Clarke's revolt against the
eight-hour bill was a typical mani
festation Of stern independence
throughout the thirteen years of his
senatorial career.' He was many
times the leader in opposition to
measures proposed by his party. The
climax to his independence was
reached when he led the Democratic
revolt against the ship purchase bill
which gave new life to the Republican
fll1buster against the measure and
made its passage impossible. When
the bill was re-introduced during the
last session, however. with the gov
ernment ownership and operation fea-

istratton endorsed the amendment

house. however, refused to accept It.
Senator Clarke acted for several
years as chairman of the important
