Washington. Sept. 5.-An order re-
voking the call for countrywide
railroad strike set for Monday was
sent out by labor union officials Sat
urday night after Congress had passed
the Adamson eight-hour day bill and
sent it to the President for his sigma
ture.
The bill was passed by the Senate
Saturday without any change from the
form in which it passed the House.
The vote in the Senate was 43 to %.
Senators Hardwick OF Georgia and
Clarke of Arkansas were the only
Democrats voting against the bill and
Senator La Toilette the only Republi-
can voting for it. The House passed
the bill Friday by vote of 239 to Sc.
Senator Hughes, acting president
pro TEN of the Senate, and Speaker
Clark signed the bill a few minutes
after it was passed, and it was sent to
the White House, where it was signed
by President Wilson Sunday.
Passage of the bill followed a day Of
debate which was conducted under
circumstances singularly dramatic. 1t
concluded two weeks of suspense dur
ing which the nation had been con-
fronted with a strike order that, had
it become operative, would have Grip
pied the entire nation and caused a
loss of millions of dollars.
The bill incorporated only two of
the six measures suggested by Presi-
dent Wilson to Congress. 1t provides:
% An eight-hour day for all en-
ployes in operating trains on interstate
railroads with the same pay as now
given for ten hours work and pro rata
for overtime.
(2) A commission to be appointed
by President Wilson to investigate
and report on the effect of the eight
hour day as applied to railroads, in not
less than six nor more than nine
months.

program has been abandoned by this
session of Congress at least Efforts
