Presidents Bill, If Enacted
Before Midnight Saturday,
Will Save Situation.
SENATE MUST ACT
IN 48 HOURS
IF Not House Leaders Pro-
pose to Pass Eight
Hour Bill.
& ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 30
All the influence of the adj
ministration was brought to
bear today. in the effort to
persuade the railroad Broth
erhood leaders to cancel, or
postpone the order calling
for a nationwide strike Mon
day.
In the meanwhile the Lead
ers in congress began paving
the way for legislation de-
signed to prevent or stop the
strike. Little progress was
made in either direction, but
confidence prevailed in off
cial quarters tonight that the
walkout will be averted in
some way.
AS a last resort, President Wilson
is considering a public appeal to the
men themselves to have the strike
order rescinded.
All the Brotherhood leaders were
obviously pleased tonight after q
careful study of President Wilson'S
proposed bill to fix an eight-houI
work day for trainmen in interstate
commerce at the present wages and
for an investigation of results by a
commission. The enactment of such
a law, according to w. G.. Lee, head
of the Trainmen's Brotherhood, woulc
avert the strike, if enacted by mid.
night Saturday.
The senate interstate commerce
committee will begin the hearings to-
morrow morning at 8 o'clock. Eacl
side will be given three hours. The
committee then will draft recommen
dations for Legislation affecting TIL
, strike situation.
Housef'leaders are determined tina
if deoslsive action is not taken by tn,
SENATE within forty-eight hours, tn
= house win take initiative action. I'm
less the senate has acted by Frida,
afternoon, house leaders propose t
bring the eight-hour bill into tn
house and have it passed under spe
cial rule.

CONTRACT NOT
LET BY BOARD
Proposition to Lease Con-
victs and Equipment
Withdrawn.

The board of county commission
ers last night withdrew their pro-
posal made to the Gulf Beach High
way Committee, by which the con-
victs and equipment Of the county
would have been used in the construc-
ton of the road to the lagoon. The
action was taken when the final ap~
prevail of the contract was under con-
sideration, and resulted from the fact
that the board was unwilling for the
convicts to be used on the road for
more than month. The committee
then made several counter proposals,
all of which were refused.
Action Unexpected.
The withdrawal Of the proposal
was unexpected by the highway com
mittee, which had made all arrange
ments for the work to commence to-
morrow. J. S. CASTOR, a highway en-.
gineer of wide experience, has al

ger, supervisor of registration, con
forming with the courts order, at
once ordered the recount to stop, and
the matter viii &c taken before Judge
Simmons fer further direction.
The Eighth Ward was counted be-
fore the interruption occurred, and
the recount showed net gain of one
vote for s. J. Cats.
When the matter came up in the
circuit court an amended answer of
the clerk and inspectors in the eight
precincts refusing to recount, it was
agreed by counsel to waive any argu-
ments when the order for a recount
was sustained, and Judge Simmons
appointed F, NJ. Ironmonger, supervi-
sor of registration; A. R. Doran, ex-
supervisor, and C. R. Thebaut, as
sistant to Mr.. Ironmonger, a commit
tee to recount the ballots. The com
1ittee Immediately proceeded tt
