Washington, Sept. 1.-Pravention of the threatened railroad strike through an act of congress seemed assured to- night, after the house by an over whelming vote had passed the Adam son eight hour day law and the sen ate had agreed to take a final vote on the measure not later than six o'clock tomorrow evening.
 Conferences May Be Necessary.
 Although it is possible that senate amendment may make conferences necessary, it is generally believed on both sides of the capitol that when the test comes the house bill as it stands will be accepted and rush. ed to Shadow L9ne N. J., for PreSi- dent Wilson's signature. And. while no formal announcements were forth coming from the employees brother hoods tonight, it is authoritatively stated that this will result in immed- fate dispatch of code messages call ing off the general strike ordered for Monday morning.
 Passed House by Vote of 23e to 56.
 The Adamson bill as passed in the house by a vote of 239 to 56, with minor amendments, is the same measure which the brotherhoods' leaders officially declared yesterday would constitute a satisfactory settle- ment" and prevent the strike. The amendments. added to conform to a draft framed by the senate interstate commerce committee, would fix the ef- fective date January 1 instead of De- cember 1, 1916. and exempt railroads less than 100 miles long and electric street and interurban lines. Briefly, 1t provides:
 Eight Hours a Days Work.
 That eight hours shall be deemed a days work and the standard for reckoning compensation of railroad employees operating trains in inter- state commerce after January 1, 1917; and
 Commission of Three
 That a commission of three ap- pointed by President Wilson shall in vestigate the effects of the eight hour standard from six to nine months and then report to congress, present wages not to be reduced during the investi- gation or for thirty days Thereafter and overtime to be paid at pro rata rate"

scattered over the field to watch the rivals clash while the kids are in town making a little noise.
 It is the final appearance of the Ellam clan in Birmingham this season. Roy, former Baron and exceedingly well liked in Birming- ham. has his club at the top of the ladder and with the Barons going at a great clip great series is expected. Thus far this season the Ellamites have been especially er- fective against the Moley clan and the local crew will have to shake that jinx before any old ball game can be won.
 The Barons have met the Vols in four series this season and not once has the Baronial crew gained a de- cision. Their last stand against the Vols gave the local fandom a slight impression in the right line but Ellam and his bunch of hustlers ruined everything when they copped a double header The Vols, especially, have been hogish when 1t comes to winning ball games from the Barons and it would pay Moley to pay his former pupil d EAo4e' NAdype d conference Would do some good

 By this time the Barons ought to De anchored somewhere near the top or the ladder at the rate they are traveling at the present, and the rate that the Barons are usually around the middle of July Moley has repeat edly stated recently that he is out for blood, and the Barons must pull out of the disgraceful second division. It's entirely too lowly to suit Moley, and the team is fast coming out of the rut.
 Little Rock papers were regarding the coming of the Barons for four games as a good method or means for the heavy sluggers of the Travelerr to fatten their batting averages. Well, Charley Starr and Bob Allen ought to be little seasick following the ter rible trouncing that Moley and his men gave the Starrlings.
 True, the Travellers have bad bunch of hitters, and are feared over the entire league, but when it comes to hitting, that crew of c. Molesworth doesn't bar any of them. The Barons outhit the Travellers in almost every game they battled with the Starr az gregation, and yet Moley has hitters stationed up around the $50 mark like Starr has. Give a few of those hitters to Moley and he would sweep up the league.
 The big fight in Washington Friday was brought to a climax yesterday, when President Ban Johnson of the American league notified Manager Clark Griffith of the Senators, Man ager Bill Carrigan of the Red Sox, Captain Mcbride of the Senators, Catcher Sam Agnew of the Red Sox of their indefinite suspension as the result of the free-for-all on the grounds of the Senators. Ban seems to be in the same canoe with Pres ident Baugh-strong against fights. And the league presidents are about right at that. Fighting hurts the game more than any other thing that could occur at the ball park.
