AT. OIL. TOFIGHT
FOR S-HOUR LAW
Gompers Predicts Rail
roads Will Fail to Break
Measure
~ relnsrsph 70 ne Trihun,


Baltimore, Nov. 1e.-Delegates TO the
council OF the American Federation OF
Labor devoted most of to-day TO discus
sion Of the Adamson eight-hour law.
An opportunity will be offered organ
lied labor of America to take an Of
fetal stand on the law, and the pros
pect is that the federation will be a
unit in backing the government in up
holding the measures constitutionality.
President Samuel Gompers declared
this afternoon that the law would go
into effect and would be enforced de-
spite any attempt on the part of the
railroads to block its operstion-SSy in
functions.
Gompers said: Whatever steps the
railroads may take, or contemplate
taking, TO kill the Adsmson law, that
law is going into effect on January l.
II is going into effect and IT will be en-
forced"
The case Of the railroad brotherhoods
will be laid before the convention Mon
day or Tuesday by Warren S. Stone. of
the locomotive engineers; A. b. Garrett
son. Of the conductors; W. G. Lee, of
the trainmen, and w. S. Carter, of the
firemen. the respective heads of the
Big Four" of the railroad employees.
While some difference of opinion is
expressed by federation leaders as to
whether a great railroad strike would
be warranted under any circumstances,
tho majority of the delegates would
undoubtedly back the big Four" IL
almost any stand.
President Gompers talked in the
forenoon over the telephone 70 Secre-
tary Tumulty, who announced that
President Wilson would receive the
labor delegates in the White House at
s O'Clock Saturday. The delegates,
about 400 strong, will leave here at
1885 o'clock on special train over
the Pennsylvania Railroad for Wash
ington.
A resolution adopted by the conven-
ton says arbitration has limited
value in that "it can be effective only
in the adjustment of differences" and
is mot suited to adjust difficulties
most likely to threaten peace"
The council advocates a world tribu-
nal, as an adjunct to which, it is sug-
gested, there might be established a
mediation commission. The council
urges the formation of league for
peace, with the worlds nations as mem
bers, to administer the machinery of in
ternationsl law, and says that Joint
use of both economic and military
forces Of signatory nations could be
directed against an offending nation"
There was much interest in a resolu
ton, introduced by Harry W. Raisse, Of
the Ohio Federation, looking to the
organization Of Southern negroes, ito
the end that they may be instructed
and educated along the lines of the
trades union movement"

Life Allotment of Three
score Years and Ten All
Wrong, He Says
LED MANY TO DIE
BEFORE THEIR TIME
No Old Men or Women
Now, He Says-Urges Ser
vice to Retain Youth

Chauncey NJ. Depew, who IS eighty
two years young and getting younger
every day, paid his respects TO David
the boy rioter Of Palestine, who put
the giant Goliath out with one rock
hurled from his trusty slung-shot, IN
an address last night before the Acad-
envy of Medicine on "The Art OF Grow-
ing Older and the Value Of an Interest
in Public Life" Mr.. Depew did not
take issue with David over the ques-
ton of whether it would not have Deen
better to have hit Goliath with a ham,
mer. but he did take considerable issue
with David over the Ninetieth fsaim'
wherein David wrote this:
"The days Of our years are three
score years and ten; and If by reason
Of strength they be fourscore years
yet is their strength labor and sorrow,
for it is soon cut off and We fly away.
This Mr.. Depew conceded TO be hrst
class literature and very fine in Ian
guage, but he made 1t very plain tnat
he considered it distressingly poor so
far as facts were concerned. David, Mr..
Depew intimated, might have been
aided in reaching his conclusion that
seventy years was enough for any man
by the fact that his life was very full,
in so far as wine. women and song, to
say nothing Of battle, murder and sud
den death, could fill it.
Lays Many Deaths to David
"That verse of the goth Psalm has
made the biggest impression on hu-
mainly of any literature ever written
said Mr.. Depew. at has had a tremen-
dous effect for two thousand years.
There is no telling how many men
and women have died because they be-
lieved David.
"He has probably caused ten times
as many deaths as will be caused by
the war in Europe; the deaths of peo-
pie who have died because they have
had it drilled into them that they can
not live beyond a certain time. Any
man can die any time he wants TO die
If he will only believe he is going TO
die. lust as any man can get any dis
ease he wants to get If he'll only be
lieve hard enough and long enough that
he is going TO. get 1t.
"For two thousand years preachers
have been preaching Davids' 90th
Psalm, and the pious have been reading

terday celebrated the twentieth ami
versary Of the day they opened for

L.ssue OF Greater New York. Mr..
Creme insisted that the reduction be-

Mr.. Greene expressed the belief that
an actual appraisal Of the corporations
tropertv would result in the making of
speb estimates on the cost of produc-
lion which would make possible greater
reductions. He accused the Edison
company Of making the present offer
70 buy of. with q small cut in prices,
a bigger one that seemed inevitable.
Chairman Straus Replies
Oscar s. Straus, chairman OF the
public service body. said he thought
his unfair 10 both the Edison concern
and the commission. He added that
the present reduction was material
md that fully 95 per cent of the con-
'umers Of electricity in Manhattan and
The Bronx would profit by II.
Mr.. Straus estimated that the first
'eduetion would result in a saving. Of
'75O,0O0 a year to consumers and that

roud double that sum. A total OF
$50. 600 Is estimated as the saving OF

Power Company, making total OF
l,75o, 900.
Another who objected TO the pro-
eedings was Benjamin c. Marsh, rep
esenting the League for Municipal
ownership and Operation. he ad-
snced numerous reasons why, In his
,pinion, the Public Service Commission
hould have insisted upon much greater
educ;ions in price. 1t was pointed
nj BY Mr.. Straus. however. that the
tatute under which the commission
xisted did not make it possible for

our village we had old men and old
women. After they reached sixty tne
women put on a cap and shawl, the
men quit work and everybody hung
around the house waiting TO die. Ihere
aren't any like that now, at least NOV
IN this city. You don't see any OLD
women here wearing caps and shaw :.
II is all we can do nowadays TO tell
the mother from the daughter.
Science Aids the Aged
And Shakespeare's seven ages do
not EXIT to-day. Take his seventh
age, when n man is sans teeth. sans
eyes, sans taste, sans everything. Sans
teeth? The dentist to-day can make
him better set Of teeth than he ever
had. Sans eyes, The optician and the
oculist can give him eyes that are
more useful than his old ones ever
were! Sans taste? Every wife quickly
learns in these times that IN, had bet
ter look out when the old gentleman
finds something on the table that
doesn't taste just as he likes it,
The greatest mistake that can be
made by man who thinks he is getting
old, Mr.. Depew declared, is to give up
and retire.
1.-THE process used to be the same
he said. 1.-THE first year the old gen.
tleman retired TO his old home and sat
down 10 die. The first year he felt
fairly well because there was enough
novelty in il to keep him interested.
The second year he became irritable
and began TO take medicine. In the
third year he began to take patent
medicines. and in the fourth year we
usually read his obituary
Must Keep Up Interest
No man. Mr.. Depew declared. should
retire unless he can retire into some
thing which interested him as much as
he was interested in his business. This
may be sport, because for most men
sport is possible in some form or an
other
There is golf, for instance. Twenty
years ago, Mr.. Depew said. there were
very few golf courses and very few
golfers in this country; now he knows
no one who does not play golf and no
, one who does not say he likes il.
"But STILL" he remarked. there are
great many liars in the world"
"And," he continued, al have been
asked. what can a man do when he
can't play golf? Well. then, there q
only one thing, and that Is service
service to the state, service to the
church, service to humanity, service to
everybody. That is the one thing that
never dies. the one thing that lasts
forever-priyate interest in public
life"
