Former Secretary Of Agri-

tion on Adamson Bill.

New York, Sept. es5That rho
farmer pays the bill" for increased cost
of railway operation due TO the Adam
son bill. forced through congress by
President Wilson at the demand of the
railway brotherhoods, Is the contention
of James Wilson, former secretary of
agriculture. Secretary Wilson says:
Much is being said these days regard
ing increased pay for railway men.
Four of the railway brotherhoods went
to the chief executive and demanded 10
hours pay for eight hours work, fixing
day in the immediate future when
they would strike and tie up the busi-
ness of the country II their demands
were not compiled with. This is the
question that is now being discussed
throughout the length and breadth OF
the land. We hear from some sources
that the movement was to fix eight
hours for n days work on the rail-
ways. But others worthy of credence
assure us that the proposal was mere-
ly one to get more pay for fewer hours
The farmer pays his help generously
and. IL it is ascertained after careful
and full inquiry that labor on railways
is underpaid, he would consent to pay
his share of increase, or, II the mea-
sures agitating the country for the pur-
pose of equalizing salaries and aEalng

of this disturbing question. II is the

of hours be comfortable in all occupa-
tions. the farm included. the prices Of
food would rise still higher than those
current at the present time. Where
will the money come from to pay these
increases? The railways get money
from the shippers. The large major
ity of shippers are farmers. The board
having authority TO raise or lower
rates gave authority not long ago to
make increases, stating to the country
that certain roads did not have suffi-

Another negro, a Chauffeur, was
used to find Mrs. Hood by trick
After the two had arrived in Salt
Lake City and registered at a hotel
Dodds saw in a newspaper an ac-
count of their elopement. He went
at once and gave himself up to the
police to deny the story that he had
forced Mrs Hood TO leave home and
accompany him. The negro begged
that his white paramour be found,
fearing that she might kill herself
and he would be charged with muir
der. The police told the negro chauf-
feur to watch out for the woman.
