awaiting action by the Senate; in or
der that the commission may be en-
abled to deal with the many great and
various duties now devolving upon it
with a promptness and thoroughness
which are, with it's present constitu-
tion and means of action, practically
impossible.
Second, the establishment of an
eight-hour day as the legal basis alike
of work and of wages in the employ
ment of all railway employees who are
actually engaged in the work of oper-
ating trains in interstate transporta-
ton.
Third, the authorization of the ap-
pointment by the president of small
body of men to observe the actual re-
suits in experience of the adoption of
the eight-hour day in railway trans
portation alike for the men and for
the railroads.
Fourth, explicit approval by the con-
gress of the consideration by the In
terstate Commerce Commission of an
increase of freight rates to meet such
additional expenditures by the rail-
roads as may have been rendered nee
essary by the adoption of the eight
hour day and which have not been
Offset by administrative readjustnients
and economies, should the facts dis
closed justify the increase.
Fifth, an amendment of the existing
federal statute which provides for the
mediation, concilation, and arbitration
of such controversies as the present by
adding to it a provision that, in case
the methods of accommodation now
provided for should fail, a full public
investigation of the merits of every
such dispute shall be instituted and
completed before strike or lockout
may lawfully be attempted.
Sixth, the Judgement in the hands
of the executive of the power, in case
cf military necessity, to take control
of such portions and such rolling stock
of the railways of the country as may
be required for military use and to
operate them for military purposes
with authority to draft into the mill
tary service Of the United States such
train crews and administrative officials
as the circumstances require for their
| safe and efficient use.
| The second and third of these
recommendations the congress imme-
idiately acted on: it established the
eight-hour day as the legal basis of
work and wages in train service and
it authorized the appointment of a
commission to. observe and report upon
the practical results, deeming these
the measures most Immediately need
ed; but it postponed action upon the
other suggestions until an opportuni-
ty should be offered for more delib-
crate consideration of them. The
fourth recommendation | do not deem
it necessary to renew. The power of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to grant an increase of rates on the
ground referred to is indisputably
clear and a recommendation by the
congress with regard to such matter

Battering Their Way Onward
Toward Bucharest
TEUTONS SEEM CERTAIN IN A FEW HOURS MORE To TAKE
RUMANIHS CAPITAL TOWN
ASSOCIATED Press)

The fate of Bucharest is apparently
sealed. The Russian official state
ment admitted the Rumanian attempts
to stop the Teutonic advance on Bu-
charest and Polesoi have failed. Pol
esoi is thirty-five miles north of
Bucharest, and the threat against it
seemingly means the speedy evacua-
tion of Bucharest if the Rumanians
hope to make an effective retreat by
railroad toward Moldavia.
The Teutons were reported twelve
miles south of Bucharest yesterday.
Berlin said the Rumanian first army
had been decisively defeated on the
Argechu, and declared the Ruman-
ians in front of Bucharest were still
retreating and that the Teutons had
crossed the railroad from Bucharest to
Tergovistea.
Berlin said Russian attacks in the
wooded Carpathians and along Trans
ylvanian frontier failed yesterday, the
Teutons recapturing lost positions. In
the Danube lowlands the Russian at
tacks were declared to have been re-
pulsed with heavy losses. The Teu-
tons claim to have taken twelve thous-
and five hundred prisoners during
campaign.
The British attempted advance east
of the Albert Warlencourt road, on the
Western front, was without success,
said Berlin.
