AVEUTS STRIKE
Wilson Signs Adamson Bill and VIII
Again Approve Measure Tuesday
TO Make Legality Of Bill
a Certain.

Washington, September - The
Adamson eight-hour day bill, exacted
from Congress last week by the rail-
road brotherhoods as the price OF call
ing of the nationwide strike ordered
for tomorrow, was signed by Presi-
dent Wilson today in his private car
at the Union Station where he stop
ped on his way from Shadow Lawn,
N. j., to Hodgenville, Ky. That there
may be no question as to the legality
OF the measure as a result Of It hav-
ing been signed on Sunday, the Presi-
dent will affix his signature again
upon his return to Washington next
Tuesday.
How long peace shall reign as a
result of the bill apparently is de-
pendent upon developments in the
proposed move to test the constitu-
tionality of the act. Should the rail-
roads take no action, but await the
beginning Of the eight-hour day by the
special commission for which the
measure provides, the brotherhoods
will remain inactive. The employees
leaders declare however, that should
the law be held unconstitutional and
the railroads attempt to restore the
ten-hour day on their lines, strike
will follow promptly.
Brotherhood heads in a circular let
ter to their members today made no
comment on the measure passed. They
merely pointed out that 1t would not
become effective until next January l.,
and that many things might occur be-
tween now and then which would
change materially any suggestions or
comment they might make.
Labor Leaders Absent
None of the brotherhood leaders
witnessed the signing of the bill
They had expected according to ten
tative arrangements made by Secre-
tary Wilson last night, to be present,
but the president decided to attend
to the business at the RAILROAD sta
ton and newspaper correspondents
gave them their first information
about it. The four pens used by the
President in signing the bill one for
each syllable of his name-wlll be
presented to the four brotherhood
heads, A. B. Garretson, w. @. Lee
W. II. Carter and w. S. Stone, after
being used for resigning the bill on
Tuesday.
No ceremony attended the signing
today. 1t originally had been plan
ned that the President should go to
the White House, but this was
changed and instead, Rudolph For
ster, assistant secretary to the Presi-
dent, took the bill to the train. Near
the car window group of trainmen
in their overall paused in their work
long enough to watch the President
write his name. An engineer passing
on yardl engine celebrated the oc-
casion with several prolonged blasts
of his whistle.
