INT|MATION THAT LABOR IS
HOLDING UP CONGRESS IS
DENIED BY BOTH BRANCHES

ference decided to draft legislation
OF their own to offer as substitute
for the bill proposed by the Demo
Gratis.
Bills to avert a strike we're put on
their way to passage in both Houses
of Congress today. Under the special
rule providing for a vote this after
noon the House considered the Adam
son eight hour bill, approved by the
president and accepted by the broth
erhood leaders as a satisfactory set
tlement"
The Senate interstate commerce
committee reported similar bill con
tanning. however. an important pro
vision empowering the Interstate
Commerce commission to fix the
schedule of wages on interstate rail-
roads. The prospects of hitch seem
to lie in the added provision. which
is being studied by brotherhood lead
ers.
The committee eliminated the pro
posal that on the report of the eight
hour day commission the Interstate
Comerce commission shall consider
an increase in freight rates to meet
the additional expenditures of the
railroads as may be rendered neces-
sary by the adoption of an eight hour
day"
Neither bill contains the Canadian
commission plan which labor leaders
oppose.
Indications are that brotherhood
leaders would fight any proposal tc
empower the Interstate Commerce
commission to govern wages as the
Senate bill proposes, but would prob
ably accept 1t if the Senate deter
mined to include it in the bill.
In both the Senate and House the
allegation made that labor is holding
up Congress is vehemently denied.
The Senate Republicans informed
the majority which plans to rusl
through the bills framed immediatel!
will stay in session all night. The!
gave over the effort to frame bill
of their own.
The House, after considerable dis
cussion. adopted amendments by Pag
and Kitchin exempting from the eigh
hour law small Independent roads
electric and interurban railways pre-
viding the exemption does not appl
TO terminal or transfer companies.
The amendment applying eigh
hours to shopmen, trackmen, static
agents and all other employees n
mentioned in the bill was rejecte
by 80 to 120.

reiterated his statement that he

The department of weights and

Fear was expressed that embargoes

might seriously affect the situation,
even should the strike be called off.
