COLONEL WE|SSlS
 GIVEN DISCHARGE War Department Finally Decides Popular Officer
 Can No Longer Serve

Montgomery, September 2-(SpeciaL) Sincerest regrets have followed the final announcement that Col. w. F. Weiss of Montgomery will be deprived of the com mand of the Second infantry regiment because of physical disqualifications. He was turned down Sometime ago by fed eral examiners. but it had been hoped that Congressman Dent could secure re- instatement. However, 1t seems that the war department would not take any other course, and Colonel Weiss will re- main private citizen unless something unforeseen occurs.
 Colonel Weiss has been one of the most enthusiastic military men in Alabama His tactical efficiency has been undis- puted. He started out many years ago as private in the Montgomery Blues and had worked his way up to the top when he was suddenly excluded because he did not measure up to the physical requirements.
 Colonel Allen Crenshaw of Andalusia is in command of the regiment, and ir is believed he will be appointed perma- nently to the place.

that it, therefore. would be impossible to pass the bill if amended in any par ticular length of time to avert the strike on Monday, and that Congress would be blamed for the disaster if it were not stayed in accordance with the plan designed by House leaders.
 This line of argument won the day and not only prevented the adoption of the Underwood amendment, but also served to defeat an amendment by Sem ator Newlands to make interference with operation of railroad trains a misdemeano punishable by fine and Imprisonment and an amendment by Senator LaFollette- which would make certain that the. new law should not be construed to repeal or modify tho railroad hours of service law which prohibits railroad men from working continuously more than Is hours.
 FEARED CHANGES
 The majority of the senators ad- mitted that they were afraid to change the dottipg of an 'i" or the crossing of "t" in the House bill for fear that it might serve to forestall what all desired--a prevention of the strike.
 The Senate galleries were crowded to capacity when the vote was taken. -sa.

COST ROADS SIXTY MILLIONS

Railroad officials have declared that the action of Congress will cost them ESQ., 100000 a year In increased wages to the trainmen. Brotherhood officials say the enactment will mean not more than an annual increase of s2o,0O0,OOo. In Congress and among the railroad officials there has existed doubt as to the constitution ality of the law, but what steps, if any, may be taken to test this has not been indicated.
 Quick action by the brotherhood heads followed the action in the Senate. No doubt existed in their minds that Presi- dent Wilson would sign the bill as soon as it was handed to him. The measure embraces virtually all of the President S original proposals to the employees and the railroad heads, although it is only part of the legislative programme he took to Congress last Tuesday, when his negOtia lions had faiIed

ANTITRUST LAWS
 AND CHILD LABOR
 CITED BY HUGHES
Attacks Democratic Claims on These Two Measures and Assails Mexican
 Policy of Wilson

St. Louis, September 2-Charles E. Hughes faced an audience in the Coliseum here tonight that cheered him 21 minutes, and his talk referred repeatedly to points made by President Wilson in his accept ance speech. T protest Mr. Hughes said against the extravagant claim that the antitrust act was clarified by definition by our opponents. They folded them selves up in vague phrase and presented that as the solution.
 From the claims of our opponents with respect to child labor legislation, you would suppose they had discovered the children said Mir Hughes. T am for the protection of children. I was fol it before the present administration was heard of.
 T want to read to you,' said the nom inee what a governor of state sai6 to a legislature nine years ago. He said in 1907, I recommend to your careful consideration the important subject oi child labor laws for the protection oi children in securing for them their rights through an elementary education, and ir surrounding them with appropriate safe guards, making an especial appeal to hut man sentiment and that nothing should be left undone to give them full effect
 That I said in the state of New York nine years ago.
 MT. Hughes referred to child labor leg islation enacted during his term as gov- ernor of New York.
 WOULD GO FURTHER
 T think I know something of child labor and the importance of protecting it,' he said 'The recent bill passed in Congress affects a very small number of children in this country and there remains g. large amount of necessary work to be done by our states before child labor shall be prohibited to a degree which will safeguard this important asset. l am for the protection of our children"
 The nominee declared that the business man had a right to know what he could and could not do.
 Here we are again met with extraor- dinary claims" he said T suppose al fusion is made to the federal trade com mission law. I have no quarrel with the composition of the trade commission law, but I cannot accept the crude state nent of suggestion that the antitrust law has been clarified by definition"
