HILL is AGAINST
AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY
Says the Adoption of the Proposed
Schedule Would Mean Receiver
ships for Railroads

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 81. = of
every other railroad in the country
should accept the eighthour principle,
we would stand ont alone against it,
declared Louis W. Hill, president of the
Great Northern Friday night.
But we will not have to stand
Alone he continued. "Our position
is the position of every other railroad
i'll the Northwest. As matter of fact,
it is the position of every big railroad
in the country
Mr.. Hill was asked if the adoption
of the eight-hour principle would mean
.receiverships for the big railroads.
THAT is just what it would mean. It
could mean nothing else. We are in no
position to adopt the cight-hour day 1t
would cripple our train service so that
we could not operate.
'There are . railroads in the South
that have been operating on the eight
hour basis. Every one Of them is in
the hands of receiver.
''Isn't it proposed, Mr.. Hill was
asked, $50 review the rate question
and possibly give the roads an increase
of freight rates so that they can af-
ford to adopt the eight hour day ~
I'VE shall get no increased freight
rates, he replied.
AT any rate, we think we know
more about running our RAILROADS than
the government does
. We cannot command capital for
wider expansion unless we can con
tinue to pay dividends. Railroads in re-
ceivers hands do not pay dividends.
And remember, l say that the eight
hour day inevitably means receiver
