Precautions for Strike Cost
Millions of Dollars, Say
Officials.
AWAIT DEVELOPMENT
Some Lines Will Not Re-
woke Embargo Orders
Until Strike Is Off.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Accepting
~ passage of the Ada mson bill by
the senate tonight as complete assur-
ance that the threatened railway
strike peril had passed. heads OF
western railroads announced they
would take no precipitate court ac-
tion against the Adamson law, but
would wait until the measure had
been thoroughly investigated.
At tho same time railway execu-
tives declared that the period of time
during which a strike seemed immi-
nent necessitated extraordinary ex-
penses on the part Of the railroads
u at will total perhaps into the mil
lions.
Informed by the Associated Press
that the senate had passed the bill.
Hale Holden, president Of the Chi
cago. Burlington s. Quincy, declared
the railways would not discommode
the public by any precipitate action.
VIII Wait Awhile.
1T is my belief" he said that we
will wait for the government investi-
cation provided by the bill before TAX
ing any action against It.
The cost to the railroads of the
threatened strike has already run
very high. We have been under ex-
traor6inary expense. The loss to the
public can not be est mated at this
time, but shippers and travellers have
suffered Inconvenience and monetary
loss. I understand that the west ern
parks have been practically deserted
as q result of the strike threat and
that many resort hotels have closed
down"
Mr.. Holden declared the present
legislation by congress- n jirect result
OF previous bills which had made la
hor exempt from the Sherman anti
trust act
The railroads, according to the OIL
GERS of the general managers associ-
ton here. are practically unanimous
In taking the view that no court ac-
ton will be taken against the Adam
son act without thorough investiga-
ton.
Apparent passages OF the strike
peril came at a time when railway
hands were ready for 4 test, they de-
clared. Many railroad managers said
they had been assured that a large
percentage Of their trainmen would
not go out in event a strike was called.
The brotherhood heads had denied
this.
Although passage Of the bill by the
senate was accepted as assurance
there would be no strike. many of the
1 railroads were waiting cancellation of
the strike order by the brotherh oods
before revoking the orders they had
Issued IT. eevent Of strike.
We are sitting on the lid and are
not going to take any chances In call
ing off our preparations until the
strike is actually called off," said an
operating official Of the Rock Island.

Corporation Commission
Will Permit Roads to
Increase Rates.
ENDS A LONG FIGHT
Is Not Known How Much
This Will Increase the
Present Schedule.

Special to The World.
NKLAHOMA CITY. Sept. 2.-In-
~ crease of per cent in freight
and passenger rates will be allowed
Immediately the bill providing for
the eight hour law for railroad train
men passed in congress today II
signed by President Wilson, by the
Oklahoma corporation commission to
railroads doing business in the state.
This information was authorized this
evening, though no formal statement
was made. This offer is prepared
to meet any demand that might be
made by the railroads.
one of the members Of the cor
poration commission has been in
vestigating what might be the prob
able added cost to the railroads in
the event they adopted the eight
hour law as embraced in the bill
passed by congress, and he estimated
that an increase of per cent would
cover such added cost When it be-
came apparent here today that the
bill would undoubtedly become a law
before many hours the commission n
prepared to make the offer mem
toned.
Wm Not Break Roads.
Figures prepared in the offices of
the commission here show that the
added increase in cost of operating
trains under the new eight hour law
would not amount to more than
S45, 100000 over the entire country.
while the railroads contend it will
amount to s100,000,000. On the
basis worked out by the Oklahoma
commission II is estimated that an
Increase of per cent in Oklahoma
on freight and passenger rates would
cover this states portion Of the
added expense.
What effect this offer of the COM
mission will have on the litigation
of the freight and passenger rates
In Oklahoma which has cost the
state thousands of dollars already,
and which is now undergoing the
final process OF securing a court de-
cision, is not known. Just how much
the 2 per cent would increase the
passenger rate has not been figured
out Under the circumstances it Is
to be presumed that there will be no
difficulty in an agreement of what
the rate should be- either passenger
or freight.
Embargoes Lifted.
Another feature of the strike sit
uation here this afternoon was the
lifting of embargoes by all the roads
which had previously announced that
freight shipments would not be ac-
cepted. The Fort Smith e. West
ern and the Rock Island were the
only two roads in the state that had
not placed embargoes on freight. All
roads anticipating that the contro-
versy would be settled by the passage
of the bill announced they would
proceed with the acceptance Of
freight shipments, and preparations
were made to do So
1t is believed the offer Of the COM
mission announced here today is the
first Of such action to be made by
any commission or tribunal in the
United States The action may have
the effect of preventing the railroads
making a demand for a larger in
crease in rates, which may involve
another trial Of the freight and pas
senger rate problem.
