CAUSES DEMOCRATS
TO GET VERY BUSY

LONG BRANCH, n. j., Sept. 13.-
President Wilson returned here today
from the bedside of his sister, Mrs.
Anne e. Howe, critically i'll at New
London. Conn.
The president found requests for en-
gagementS from many political leaders
but he arranged for none. He has
been informed that Mrs. Howe can
hardly live another week. and is hold
ing himself ready to return to New
London.
Plans for the president to speak
in ST.. Louis, September 20 and in
Baltimore, September "a, and to go to
Albuquerque, n. NJ. to open a dam
early in October. are being held in
abeyance pending the outcome Of Mrs.
Howe'S illness. Homer Cummings,
chairman of the speakers bureau OF
the national committee, probably Will
see Mr.. Wilson Monday to discuss
these and other invitations.
There were evidences here today
that the Republican victory in Maine
has led Democratic leaders to work
more diligently in other parts OF the
country. Administration officials here
said they expected no other result but
it is plain they realize they have work
ahead Of them. Encouraging reports
from Oregon, Washington and Califor-
MIA reached the executive offices to-
day. Further optimism came with the
receipt of a report from tho finance
committee of the natiinal committee
that from $4,000 to $4,000 a day is
being received in small contributions.
The president is to visit the e1ecu-
tive offices at Asbury Park for the
first time tomorrow TO attend to an
accumulation Of official business.
Commissions and other papers await
his signature.

EIGHT HOUR LAW MAY
PROVE A BOOMERANG
TO THE BROTHERHOODS

MACKINAC ISLAND. Mish. Sept. 13
Samuel o. Dunn. OF Chicago, Editor
Of a Railroad Magazine and who acted
in an advisory capacity to the railroad
presidents in the negotiations which
preceded the passage of the Adamson
law, suggested in a speech here to-
night that the eight hour law may
prove a boomerang TO the brother
hoods. He asserted that the law fixes
an eight hour pay day and not an eight
hour work day.
Mr.. Dunn'S remarks were addressed
to delegates to the railway signal con-
vention.
This law" said Mr.. Dunn, does not
limit the number Of hours that rail-
way employees may work in a day. 1t
merely limits the number Of hours
that the railway may require them 10
work before it pays them a days
wages. In other words, it fixes an
hour work day.
1T is certain that under this law, if
It should be upheld the railroads
would have to pay days wage for an
eight hours work but it is not equally
obvious that the law prohibits them
from paying any enploye In the train
service a days wage before he has
done at least eight hours work, 1t says
eight hours, no more and no less, shall
be the standard. 1t would appear, there
fore, that under this provision. il the
railways should pay any employe a
days wage for less than eight hours
work. they would violate the law and
subject themselves to its pains and
penalties.
Many trainmen in passenger service
1t is said. receive full pay for less
than eight hours work.
