Neither docs the means of postpone

leading to eventual settlement, adopted
by the president, constitute a "dan-

Among the critics of the president IS
handling of crisis that was far more
alarming than these most intimate with
the facts cared to confess. there ap-
pears to be profound ignorance of the
merits of the case. IL is an easy mat
ter to question motives; il is an easy
matter to question the motives of the
president in seeming to yield rather
toward the men than toward the man
ayers in his conduct of the negotia-
tions, and in his formulated plan of
congressional action. The whole coun-
try was loolting to him for the ac-
complshmcnt primarily of one thing.
He was expected to prevent nation
wide strike Just Ns he has been expect
cd during the last -four years to avert q
war In accomplishing what the peo-
pie expected of him, whether they
know it or not, he has proved himself
as good a friend OF the railroads as he
has of their employees.
The prevention of nationwide
strike has insured practically salts
factory adjustment of the differences
between the corporations and the
brothcrhoods. The railroads should
realize. if they do not, that President
Wilson s intervention has given them
a longer lease upon the privileges they
enjoy than il the strike had occurred.
Instead Of instigating or encouraging
the rencerous abuse that is now being
heapcd upon the president by their
representatives and some newspapers,
they should employ the further respite
granted them in an effort TO Justify
the continuance OF private ownership.
There may well be an honest diff
foroncc Of opinion with regard to the
wisdom of the step finally taken to
avert strike that would have been
disastrous to the railroads and to the
trainmen and calamitous to the public,
but wa ail to discover in any of the
criticism before us an alternative to
that step worthy Of serious consider

(Christian Science Monitor, Sept. ~
A great deal of nonsense, some of il
cf mischicvous nature, has been writ
ten and TALKED in connection with the
demand of the trainmen for an eight
hour day, and especially in relation to
the means employed by President vii
son for avcrting what practically the
whole nation was desrous of averting
at any reasonable cost, ticup of the
transportation lines. Had the president
failed to avert this disturbance. il is
unnecessary. to say he would have been
as severely criticised in certain quar-.
sers as he is now for the methods to
which he resorted in order to compel
a truce. The trainmen refused to arbi-
fratc the eighthour demand on the
logical ground that an economic ques-
tion already settled should not be re-
opened and again subjected to arbitral
adjudication. The eight-hour question
has long been settled, practically by a
majority of the states. by the federal
government, and by thousands of pri-
Vate concerns. Eight hours as day 5
work holds good not only in states TO
che union but in possession of the ma
ton. A day work for all laborcrs,
workmcn and mechanics who may be
employed by the United States, OF
by any contractor upon any of the
public works of the United States, is
limited to eight hours.
President Wilson, from the first, held
10 the point that there was no need of
arbitrating the cight.hour claim. The
managers demand that it he submitted
TO arbitration had as little force MS
would q contention on their part that
the scale of wages obtaining before the
great railway strike of 1877 should be
restored In almost every instance
where the demand for days wages
for eight hours labor has been made
In the last twenty-five wears the con.
eessions has been granted. An eight.
hour day does not mean, and never has
meant, that an employc may throw
down his working tools, leave his ear
or abandon his engine at the end of
eight hours, but, rather, that, having
served for eight hours, one day is com
p1eted and another has bcgun. There
is nothing more revolutionary in the
establishment of an cight.hour day
for the railroads than there was for
the establishment of the ten.hour day
10 which the managers haNe recently
been so much attached.

Few Changes Were Made
In Football Rules This Year

The football rules for the 1916 sea
son have undergone few changes. AMI
those that have been made are not
radical.
! The rule governing the delay of the
| game at the intermission between the
halves makes clear that the offended
side, in addition to gaining the dis
tance penalty of % yards, shall also
have the choice of goals.
For years the football rule book has
carried section in the rule covering
a safety, to the effect that a player
carrying the ball being forced back
over his own goal line was guilty of
making a safety. AS rule covering
the forward progress of the ball has
been made clear to the effect that the
referee shall blow his whistle when the
forward point of progress is reached, in
all cases it will be impossible to score
safety by this method, and the clause
in regard to forcing player back has
been stricken from the rules.
All fouls committed by players be-
hind the goal line have been ruled up
on specifically in order to make the
point clear that foul of this kind,
which would deprive an opponent OF
an opportunity to recover the ball and
make touchdown, will give touch
down to the offended side.
Last year, under the rules, if a play
er was not one yard back, and still
was not on the line of scrimmage, it
produced an illegal formation. This
rule this year makes such a formation
legal, but states specifically that the
quarterback, so called, is not eligible
to receive forward pass unless he is
at least one yard back.
1t is also made clear this year that
a guard or tackle dropping back from
the line must 90 at least five yards in
order to be eligible to recover a for
ward pass, to run with the ball or to
act as intcrferer.
The rule covering n puntout has
been made clear, to the effect that
players defending the goal may not
run into the player catching the punt
out except in bona fide attempt to
catch or bat the ball. This last permis-
sion, namely, to bat the ball, is an adj
dition, for players defending the goal
on puntout may bat the ball in any
direction.
The rule covering the restrictions of
linemen breaking through and striking
with locked hands has been changed
to cover any player breaking through.
A set of approved ground rules has
been added to cover the conduct of
championship games. The ground rules
may be changed, however, by consent
of the two competing teams and of
ficials previous to the start of a game.
