Second, the esta ablishment of an
eight hour day as the legal basis

work of operating trains in interstate
transportation.
Third, the authorization of the

adoption of the eight hour day in
railway transportation alike for the
men and for the railroads.
Fourth, explicit approval by the

a magnitude unprecedented In our
experience. We have not the neces-
sary instrumentalities for it's prose-
cution; 1T is deemed to be doubtful
whether they could be created upon
an adequate scale under our present
laws. We should clear away all legal
obstacles and create basis of un.
doubted law for it which will give
freedom without permitting unreg-
ulated license. The thing must be

the adoption of the pending measure

exposed. and the incompetence Of its

Moreover. the attempt to erect this

suited In the discovery Of the chair
