Eight Hour
Day
Threatened Railroad Strike
Averted BY Action OF
Congress.

4 Washington, Sept. 1.-The
& threat of general railroad
y strike, which has been hanging
b like pail over the country for
q month, was lifted tonight.
& Three hours after the Senate
4 passed, without amendment, the
d Adamson eight hour day bill,
passed by the House yesterday
the heads of the four great rail-
roads employees brotherhoods
telegraphed GOO odd code mes
sages to their general chai.men
in all parts of the country, can
ceiling the strike order issued
week ago to take effect next
Monday morning at Z o clock.
The Legislative expedient to
avert the strike was passed in
the Senate by a vote of AZ TO 2S
almost strict party vote
amid stirring scenes, after many
Senator's, Democrats and Re
publicans, had fought des.
perately to amend the measure
by provisions designed to pre-
vent industrial disasters in the
future. Some Senato tors,
thoroughly aroused, declared
Congress was being coerced in
to enactment of legislation that
ii did not want, and that it
knew would return to plague in
the future.
In both Houses the measure
was signed within Il few min
utes after the final vote in Sen
ate and it was sent at once to
the White House, where Presi-
dent Wilson will sign it at 1880
o'clock tomorrow morning, uf-
ter his return from Shadow
Lawn, Officials of the brother.
hoods who witnessed the final
passage of the bill, had an
nounced early in the night that
cancellation of the strike order
would not be ordered until the
bill had been signed by the
President and actually had be-
come law. But later they con-
ierred, changed their minds and
flashed the code messages sig.
mailing to the waiting trainmen
OF the country through their
chairmen the message that sat
isfactory settlement had been
secured.
The bill that stopped the
strike provides that after Jan
uary |, 1917, eight hours shall

ing for Il days pay of men en-,
gagged in the operation of rail
road trains in interstate com
merce excepting roads less
than 100 miles long and electric
al lines), and they shall receive
pro rata pay for work in excess
OF eight hours, and that their
rate of compensation shall not
be changed, pending an investi-
CATION for from six to nine
months of the effect of the
eight-hour day upon the raj!
roads by a commission to be
appointed by the President.

Fears Advance
OF Plague.
New York Epidemic Not Re-
sarded as Being as Ser
lone to Virginia as
Cases Nearer
Home.

hlchmond. Va, Aug. 81
With the railroads cooperating
actively in the enforcement of
Virginia's quarantine against
children from New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. the
State Board of Health is watch
ing with concern the southwark
progress of the infantile paraly-
sis epidemic. In this the
board thinks, lies Virgin;a's
chef danger, nor is the board
inclined to regard the decrease
OF the epidemic in New York as
guaranteeing that states to the
south of New York will escape.
The general situation, said
Health Commissioner Williams
today, resembles that in which
a fire is spreading from the
sparks of the original conilaga.

we of course viewed it with
profound sympathy but without
grave apprehension. 1t was
reasonable to suppose that the
fire would burn ittelf out
pathetic though its conse.
quences were.
"ln recent weeks, as the out.
break has begun to decline in
New York, it has spread north
and south, just as the sparks
are carried from fire. These
sparks, in turn, have started
new fires Of epidemics, some
of which are close to Virginia.
1t is these we are watching and
1T is from these that we expect
trouble, if any comes. The
fire is getting close to our
block and it is time to take
precautions that were relatively
unnecessary as long as the fire.
was confined to New York City
Another factor in the situa,
ton which makes this the most
important time for precautions
is that Virginia children who
have been summering in the
north are beginning to return
home. We had no statistics as
to the number of these children
when we declared quarantine
but we can see from the re.
quests and appeals made to the
board during the last few DAYS
that the number is large. The
Schools are soon to open; the
vacation period is at an end.
For one child that came south
during the first week in August
there will probably be ten who
come during the first week in
September. AS some of these
have doubtless been exposed tc
the disease, the State must be
protected against them. This
is peculiarly the time for doing
so.
Gin addition, we must reckon
on the large number of children
who come to Virginia to attend
schools. Knowing nothing OF
the movements of these chill.

not fair to subject other chill.
