ADAMSON MEASURE.
FOR FINAL ACTION

Washington, Sept. 2.-The Adamson
eight-hour day bill, which railroad
brotherhood officials have said
formally would avert the threatened
strike if finally enacted by Saturday
night, was passed late today by the
house and sent to the senate.
The vote was 239 to Sc, with five
members voting present.
Only Two Democrats Opposed.
Only two democrats, Steele of Penn
sylvania and Black of Texas, voted
against the bill. Sixty-eight republicans
and the one socialist voted for it.
Final vote was delayed in the house
by renewal of the Startling permanent
J mediation and arbitration proposal in
the form of a motion to recommit the
bill to the commerce committee. Il
was ruled as not garmane, after an ar
gument, and Representative Mann ap-
pealed from the decision Of the chair.

recommit the bill, the last motion per

night unless the senate accepts the
house measure unchanged.

WATSON CAUSE FOR
BRITAIN OPPOSITION
3scHooL HEAD ASSERTS EDITOR
e IS MENACE TO GEORGIA. HIS
CHARGES ARE UNFOUNDED.

Atlanta, Aug. 3O.-The attention be
ing drawn to the opposition put for
ward to M. L. Britain, state superin-
PENDANT of shoots, is forcing to the
surface some of the most interesting
facts in any of the races this year.
1t has been rather clearly demon
strated that the real substance behind
the opposition to Mr. Brittain-the rea-
son for that oppposition-is a personal
fight Thomas E. Watson is making on
him, because the superintendent OF
schools is the one state house officer
who has dared to say in plain, pointed
words that "Watson is menace to
Georgia" That, and because Mr.. Brit
tain flatly and Enthusiastically refused to
be dictated to from Hickory Hill, arous
ed the ire of the Watson person-and
finally he found somebody to run
against the man who wouldn't knuckle
under.
The race so far as the Watsonesque
feature of it is, is being run on the
single plank of religious prejudice, and
that prejudice fed by a threadbare
yarn-"state schools fund diverted to
sectarian schools.
