The senate convened today after a prolonged session last night which ended in an agreement to vote at D. m this evening or before. Debate continued over the amendment pro- passed by Senator Underwood to give the interstate commerce commission authority to determine wages of in terstate railway employees
 Its opponents urged that it's adop- t1on might render the bill unsatisfac- tory to the brotherhoods and that consequently the strike order would be allowed to stand. They con- tended also that 1t was necessary as an emergency measure.
 The Adamson bill provides that be- ginning January 1, 1917, the standard " ork day for employees on steam rail ways more than one hundred miles long engaged in interstate commerce shall be eight hours; that a presi- dential commission of three shall in vestigate conditions under the eight hour basis for a period of between six and nine months; that daily wages shall not be reduced below the pres ent amount for a longer day during the investigation, and overtime pay shall be pro rata.
 The bill was passed In the house by a vote of 239 to 56, and sent to the senate, where at the night session it was substituted for a similar measure prepared by the interstate commerce committee. In both houses tho measure was debated hotly

If we do not do this, for one will feel that we have made a sorry trade as well es a sorry spectacle of ourselves"
 Senator Thomas also proposed an ] amendment to make 1t a misdemeanOr for any person to delay or obstruct the operations of trains, punishable by fine of not more than $500 or inn prisonment for not more than one year or both.

VeniZelOs ChafeS at Delay

London, Sept. 2, 1:3O D. m.-For- n,er Premier Venizelos of Greece, leader of the party which favors par ticipation in the war with the en- tente allies, is quoted in a despatch tc the Star from Athens as hsTing said to friends that the situation was becoming more and more grave for Greece. M. Venizelos blamed those who had advance knowledge of Ru- manla's intentions for not bringing about the intervention of Greece, at least simultaneously with Rumanla. The Stars correspondent quotes him further, as follows:
 With the Bulgarian troops be- tween the Rumanians and the armies of the entente allies and with the Russians advancing through DObruja, who can doubt that Bulgaria will seek to sign a separate peace with the en- tente? If this should happen before Greece goes in on the side of the en- tente it would mean the burial of Greece
 The correspondent adds that the idea of a separate peace for Bulgaria is opposed by many of the belligerent states
