fixed, bony substance welding the
bones together. He never learned to
talk He was fed all these years
through a tube passed with difficulty
between the rigid jaws.
Doctor BRbcock worked on tho man
for two and one-half hours scEaping
tho Joints free OF tho bony substance
and then with fat taken from the mans
leg. building up cushions Of fat TO
hold the jaw bones apart and mako a
basis through which healthy joint
could be formed. which will allow the
man to talk and eat like normal per-
sons. The operation was one of a
type made notable by the late Dr. John

thesla was given. The man fell into a

Indiana Engineer Says the
Measure Will Cut His Sal
airy in Half.


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Oct. 2S.-The
Adamson law. purporting TO raise the
wages OF interstate train operating
employees and 10 establish standard
eighShour workday" is a gold brick
according TO an Interpretation OF its
provisions in an opinion rendered by
Milton l. Clawson. the leading attor-
ney for organized labor in Indiana.
Attorney Clawson's opinion holds
That the Adamson law assures the
railway employees ten hours pay for
eight hours work and pro rata pay
for overtime only from January /.
1917, until thirty days after the inves-
tigating committee submits its report
next summer
That under the Adamson law a rail-
way employee who completes his 100
mile run IN five hours. for example. is
entitled to receive only five-eights OF
his present pay.
That under the Adamson law rail-
way employe must work al least eight
hours to obtain his present pay
That after the expiration OF the in.
vestigation period the wages Of rail-
way employees will be subject 10 ad-
Iustment by negotiation between the
railway companies and the unions.
In view Of the relations OF Attorney
Clawson, TO the unions, which he has
represented In many notable wage and
other industrial disputes his opinion
has proved bomhshell in the ranks OF
organized labor In Indiana and adjoin-
ing states and in the camp OF the
10 l. ~ ,
by the Locomotive Engineers and Con-
ductors' Mutual Benefit Association, OF
Detroit for the information OF its mem
bers.
on the question OF how long the em-
ployes arc to receive ten hours pay
for eight hours work the Clawson
opinion says.
THE wage provided for in section
three shall continue for a period not
to exceed eleven months after the pres
ident has appointed his commission
for Investigation. and for a no longer
period.
After the expiration of the thirty
days beyond the report of the com
mission there is no standard rate OF
wage mentioned either in section one
or section three of the act, and this
law does not govern IT,"
No Rate Proyid d,
Railway employees making runs OF
100 miles in less than ten hours are
now paid on the mileage basis. Many
passenger runs of 100 miles 6fe made
in five hours and the employees now
receive ten hours nav for five hours
work, on the effect OF the Adamson
law upon the wages OF such employees
the Ciawson opinion saws:
IF trainman shall run 100 miles in
five hours, and eight hours is the basis
for reckoning his compensation, we are
of the opinion that under the Adamson
act after the maximum time OF eleven
months has expired there is no rate
of wage provided and It is wholly a
matter of negotiation between the rail-
ways and their employees; and we are
Of the opinion that within the eleven
months as a maximum period the train
man who travels 100 miles in five hours
will receive his proportionate part Of
the eight hour standard pay.
at is true that section three pro-
vides that the compensation for the
standard eight-hour day shall not be
reduced below the present standard
