WILSON WORRIED
Over the Remarks of Charles E.
Hughes Regarding the
AdamSon Bill.
sur ASSOCIATED pRras,

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Sept. Is
President Wilson decided Friday to
take advantage of the earliest possible
opportunity to challenge the statement
made by Charles Z. Hughes in recent
speeches that the basis on which the
recently threatened railroad strike was
averted was merely an increase OF
wages for the employees.
The president, his political advisers
said Friday, considers the principle Of
the eight-hour day vitality affected by
the strike settlement and Will seek to
show that while the railroad legislation
passed by Congress to meet the situa-
ton win give the employees at least a
temporary increase in pay, the more
important point is that it established
the eight-hour day as the basis of work
for railroad workmen.
