.THICKEST FOG OF
YEARS OVER LONDON

London, Dec. 27.-One of the thick
est fogs Of recent years enveloped
London today, disorgani2ing traffic
and causing great inconvenience
Owing to the restrictions with regard
to the lighting of the city, the SOM
Der pail at nightfall brought surface
traffic to a complete standstill. The
omnibuses stopped running, taXicabs
disappeared from the streets and the
people moved about with the aid Of
torchlights aud electric flashlights.
Tho underground railways were not
affected and were the only means OF
transportation. They. however, were
soon choked by the enormous crowds,
with the result that numerous sta
.tions had to be closed until the crush
was relieved in order to prevent ac-
cidents. Steam railway traffic to and
from London was halted from points
as far away as Birmingham, which
was also enveloped by the fog. The
fog here at frequent intervals was dull
gray, murky purple and black.

ADAMSON LAW IS TO

Concessions Are to Be
Made Pending Decision of

tUtionaIity of Measure,

New York, Dec 2I-Representa-
tivcs Of the national conference com
mttee of railways and the four broth
erhoods of railway employees Will re-
sumo their meetings here tomorrow
for the announced purpose of arriving
at some agreement as to the appllca-
ton Of the Adamson law in the event
it is held to be constitutional by the
United States supreme court The
meetings had been adjourned to wait
the handing down Of the award in the
case of the switchmens arbitration,
which, it was expected, might have
some bearing on the eventual inter
probation of the Adamson act The
railroad managers held a preliminary
meeting today.
TO Fight Arbitration Law.
1t was intimatcd in railroad circles
tonight that, among other things
which would be considered, was an
agreement that would bring the two
forces together in "a concerted effort
to fight the presidents proposed COM
pulsoyy arbitration legislation. the
railroads, however, are not altogether
opposed to the principle of compuls"
ory arbitration, it was indicated, pro-
viding suitable plan can be evolved
looking toward the selection of the
arbitrators.
Both sides were reported confident
tonight that a mutual understanding
will be reached as to the practical IN
depreciation OF the Adumsou act
which, it Is pointed out, specifies tho
hours of labor but does not make pro-
vision for the enforcement or contin-
uation Of certain privileges and rates
Of compensation which the men now
enjoy and which, they believe, are
threatened with extinction by the
Adamson act
Would Refer To Arbitration.
Rather than make separate appeals
to the courts for decision of the
many points that could be brought to
issue in this regard It was reported
that both sides after agreeing on as
many points as possible, would con-
sent to bring their differences for
final adjudication to the Goethals
commission appointed by the presi-
dent to observe the operation of the
Adamson act
A representative Of Elisha Lee,
chairman of the conference, authoriZ-
ed the statement, however, that under
no circumstances will the railroads
seek to vitiate the Adamson act by
any other means than those already
