The statement goes on 10 give the
figures relating to all other roads in
the state and demonstrates, for illus

is assessed less than the Scaboard OF
the NirEinian railways. In conclu-
sion, Judge WinGiield writes:
1T is evident that the theory OF as
scssmcnt Of these roads on the same
level OF value as standard yoads IS
not tcuablc. Ii works discrimination

Based on as careful study as could

the great railroads Of the state ar. not

ADNMSON GOES OVER PLANS
For RAILROAD Legislation

Representative AdamScu went over
plans for railroad legislation fully with
the President. Afterwards he said that
he had no doubt tina, The eipht-hour
law would he upheld by the courts as
constitutional. adding that TN" measure
was very carefully framed by lawyers
fully familiar with the situation and
with tho Constitution.
IL have a bill prepared for additional
legislation to meet The situation. which
probably Will Introduce as soon as
Congress Couv-ncS.' he said He added
that he believed the Interstate Com
merce Commission under existing laws
already had III" power TO take wages
into consideration in liking freight
rates.
President Wilson embodied a recon-
Inendation for legislation giving this
mower when addressing Congress on
the threatened strike but the Gcorc IN
Representative said he believed the
President would agree with him in
tho end.
II do not think thcr" is anything in
The talk that the raiirc>d men viii call
n strike II tho cirht-hour law is pend
ing in the courts" said Mr.. Adamson.
In doing SO they would be running
directly contrary to public opinion. and
that no man or body Of men can afford
to do
Mr. Adamson also declared il was his
personal opinion that the suits TO test
the constitutionality of the eiEht-hour
laW were brought in a further effort TO
secure advances in freight rates. and
that If any definite assurances Of in
creased rates were given. the cases
would not be pressed.
The brotherhood heads. still quite rs
uncommuncative as at the time 81 the
conferences which resulted in enact
mcnt OF the Adamson law. appeared
well pleased with the situation to-
night. They were par; larly clated
over their talk with the President. and
the prospects of addressing members
of the federation in Baltimore to-mor
row.

reelection" w q. Lee. head of the

urally. coming from Ohio as do, had
some things to say about how Ohio
came to go Democratic as largely as
il did"
No agreement exists between the
brotherhUods and the federation lead
.rs that an effort will be made TO
bring all railroad workers under an
cight-hour law. Mr.. Lee declared lie
said the conferences which led to AN
alliance between The organizations
we're productive only OF an agreement
to work for the general bettermcnt OF
