The dread of railway strike which
had hung over the country for many
weeks was lifted Saturday night as
result of the prompt action of Con
gress in passing the eight hour bill
recommended by President Wilson
and fathered by the Hon. w. C. Ad-
amson, of Georgia.
The House passed the bill Friday
the Senate passed it Saturday, and
three hours thereafter the brother
hood leaders who had called the strike
sent the code messages all over the
country annulling it. President viii
son signed the bill Sunday morning
while on his way to Kentucky.
The bill provides that after Janu-
ary 1, 1917, eight hours shall be re-
garded as a basis of reckoning for a
days pay of men engaged in the op-
Grafton of railway trains in inter
state commerce excepting roads less
than 100 miles long and electric
lines), that they shall receive pro
rata pay for work in excess of eight
hours, and that their rate of compen-
satlon shall not be changed pending
an investigation for from six to nine
months of the effect of the eight-hour
day upon the railroads by a commits
sion to be appointed by the President.
