CERTAIN To he FOUGHT
BY LABOR IN CONGREs

The principal arguments against the
idea Of aSpcrmanent commission for
the prevention or settlement OF strikes
were that ii would almost certainly he
fought by labor in Congress. and that
while President Wilson might be
tirely willing now to back such legis-
lation he might not be In a position
10 do so when ii was proposed Rep
yesentativcs OF the hrothcrhoods who
heard of this phase of the plan to- day
were plainly against il y counter
suggestion was heard among the presi-
dents that strike questions should be
left TO the Interstate Commerce Com
mission with power to investigate and
make public report of their findings,
with a strike held in abeyance pending
the Investigations
The special committees plan has been
tcntatively accepted by the committee
of eight, and il was the subject Of to-
DAYS conference at the White House.
It's substance was communicated to the
labor representatives through Judge
william L. Chambers, OF the Board of
Media ton and Cancellation.
The railroad presidents arc under
stood not to be insistent upon the com
mission idea for settlement of future
disputes, and the main difficulty has
been the working out of operating plans
undcr an eiSht-hour day and of giving
assurances to the presidents and man
ayers that they can count upon
freight-rate increase.
OPERATING PROBLEM
MOST COMPLICATED
Presidents and managers agree that
the operating problem presented is one
OF the most complicated they ever have
undertaken. There seems to be an
opinion that the eisht-hour day must

are operating on only n narrow margin
of profit, or on which the physical diff
culties are unusual, present serious
problems to be overcome. The effort
has been to include in tho cight-hour-

the other questions, such as overtime

New Jersey and PENNSYLVANIA. Among
these are included nicces and nephews
OF Commissioner Williams himself.
Adults are not affected. DR.. Royster
In his resolution, pointed out that in
fantile paralysis among persons be-
yond sixteen years OF age is rare
enough TO justify the feeling that. from
quarantine standpoint. it is ncgligi-
BILE. Members OF the board agreed that
no direct evidence has yet been adduccd
to show that such persons are Il mem
ace TO the public health. even when
coming from infected areas.
EXCLUSION ORDER Is
N EFFECT At ONCE
Commissioner Williams gave out this
statement following the action of the
board
"rhc enforcement Of this quarantine
Will begin at once. Under the rcSolu-
tions. the railroad or other carrier and
any individual transporting any one
into Virginia is Jointly liable with the
individual fer the enforcement Of the
quarantine This will he fully covered
in tho formal text Of the regulations
which will be issued as soon as they
can be drawn in legal form.
Notice Of the quarantine regulations
have been sent all health officers to-
day, and tho full text will be issued
tonight or early tomorrow morning.
Tho board to-day adopted new rcgula
tions, effective tomorrow, regarding
the intrastate control Of infantile
paralysis
IL want to emphasize the fact that
thus far Virginia has escaped such AN
outbreak OF infantile paralysis as has
appeared in New York. We have fewer
cases than we had last year. But tho
widening circle Of infantilc paralysis
renders il imperative that we take such
precautions as our knowledge of the
disease warrants hope the public
will support us IN our earnest effort to
mako these precautions effective. and
shall use the fullest publicity in ex-
planning exactly what the situation is
and how We arc working to protect the
State.
