eral railroad officials at the custom
house TODAY. Methods of conducting

Although the commission 10 going

Injunction proceedings may act as
a stay to prevent the law going into

been a suggestion that the railroads
might put the law Professionally into
effect pending a final decision. They
might separate the amounts paid to
the men under the present schedules

LORD DERBY'S PEACE
TALK COMMENTED ON

Washington Nov. 23.-Oficial and
diplomatic Washington was taken
agreeably by surprise today by tho
peace dictum OF the Earl of Derby.
British undersecretary Of war. His
declaration that "any peace proposals
from Germany will receive the con-
alteration they deserve" was said to
be the nrst utteranoe OF the kind.
holding out a promise, Of possible
peace. emanating from a responsible
member OF the British government.
Diplomats especially viewed the
declaration a. a hint from Great
Britain that reason and discussion
may prevail where force has failed.
The earls assertion that "the allies
cannot entertain an idea OF peace
which does not give them what they
are lighting for" was interpreted by
diplomats to mean that there is no
clearly defined purpose on the part
of any Of the belligerents at the pres
ent moment to overcome the enemy,
which has proved impossible OF ac-
compllshrnent.

SANTA FE CASE TO
BE DECISIVE ONE

Washington. Nov. 23.--An inpor-
tant move looking toward an early
decision by the Supreme Court on the
validity of the eight-hour law was
taken today. when the railroads.
through their legal representatives.
signed an agreement with the attor-
ney-generars Office to cooperate with
the government in rushing the case
to the highest court
Indications are that the Santa Re
case will be selected by tho railway
lawyers as the test case. The case
decided by Judge Hook yesterday Is
unsatisfactory to the railroads for the
reason that It does not represent the
full strength OF their objections to the
law. The attorneys for the railroads
have advised the attorney general
that the Santa Fe case more nearly
typifles all the points In dispute and
would be more satisfactory from their
point Of view. It Is understood that
tho attorney generals Office has made
no objection to this selection.

Uncertainty as to Securities

Washington. Nov. 23.-The rail-
roads of the country accept govern
ment regulation as an understood
principle. But they wish this regu-
lation to be founded on constructive
lines. and not on the lines of oppres-
sion. This is their idea as expressed
today to the Joint congressional COM
mittee by Alfred P. Thorn, general
counsel to the advisory board Of the
railway executives.
Mr.. Thorn also made the point that
failure to extend the railroads within
thu last year contributed to the high
struct more than 1000 miles OF new
track in this country during the past
year. he said. was because confidence
in railway securities had been de-
stroyed. and he presented seven rea-
sons, one of these reasons was, the
railroads business Is largely controlled
by politics instead of business con-
siderations' And in this connection,
Mr.. Thorn said:
Wants Non-PoIiticai Judgment
THE railroads are business enter
prises. They must not be subjected
If they are to survive--to political
considerations any more than any
other business. The American people
have declared the railroads must
stay out OF politics. and the railroads

It should be seen that those on the
other side do. plead for a nom

The counsel to the executives made

OF the committees work. Mr.. Thom's
speech continued for two and one
half hours and will be resumed to-

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 23.-Arnouncing
that the Southern Railway system
lines are asking the courts to inter
pref the Adamson law. pending an
attempt to enforce it's provision. Mr..
Fairfax Harrison said today:
There Is such an !rreconcilable
difference between the Interpretation
of the law upon which the lawyers
agree and that the men want that 1t
1s apparent that judicial interpre-
tation and clarifcation of the law is
necessary in the interest OF all con-
cerned. Quite frankly, we are now
unable to apply the law because we
do not know what It means, We
know what the men want. but the
lawyers say the law does not give
them that, but gives them something
else. which every railroad manager
knows they DO not want. The men
are naturally disappointed that the
question Ia not settled. and so are
the managers but we must all have
patience and good temper and try to
avoid passion while we grope our way
