RAILROADS. TO
FIGHT 8-HOUR LAW
Predict Supreme Court viii De-
clare II Unconstitutional.
UNIONS CALL OFF STRIKE
Order to Brotherhoods Revoked by
Leaders Without Waiting for Mr.
Wilson to Approve Bill.

WILSON 10 HPpToVe Diii.
President Wilson signed the eight
hour bill passed by congress to avert
the threatened strike of railroad en-
ployes.
He affixed his signature to the meas
ure while seated in his private car at
the Union Station in Washington.
The order to take from their posts
100000 men of the railroad brother
hoods and paralyzing the traffic of the
country, which was to have GONE into
effect at 7 o'clock Monday morning,
was rescinded following the passage
by congress of the bill providing that
eight hours shall be a days work Tor
the 100000 members of the four great
labor brotherhoods.
The presidents of the brotherhoods
withdrew the strike order without
waiting for President Wilson to put
his signature to the bill and thus make
it a law.
When Mr.. Wilson was told of the
passing of the bill by the senate, he
said: ut is the climax of a very
happy day."
He had just been formally notified
of his denomination to the presidency
and had heard the cheers and recelV-
ed the congratulations of hundreds OF
distinguished men of the Democratic
party, not only on the nomination but
also on the success of his long and
arduous effort to avert a strike which
would have meant disaster to business
and would have caused widespread suf-
fering.
At the same time presidents Of the
railroad systems of the country were
denouncing the eight-hour measure as
"a shameful thing" and predicting that
the United States supreme court would
speedily declare it unconstitutional.
It is expected a suit attacking the
law will be filed within a few days.
The senate passed the bill by vote
of 43 to %, after the measure had
been bitterly denounced by leaders on
both the Republican and Democratic
sides, many of whom said they were
"in a corner" and voted for the meas
ure because they could not help them
selves.
The passing of the bill through both
houses was like well rehearsed play.
The proceedings moved as ii by ma
chinery.
For an hour after Speaker Clark, OF
the house of representatives, and Sen
ator Clarke, of Arkansas, as temporary
president of the senate, had affixed
their signatures to the bill the presl-
dents of the brotherhoods debated"
as to whether they should withdraw
the strike order before President Will
son had actually signed the bill.
At length A. B. Garretson, the
spokesman for the union leaders, an
nounced that as the bill was really Mr..
Wilson's measure and there was no
doubt he would sign it it had been de-
cided to send out the telegram rescind.
ing the strike order.
Railroad men, who had been the
most interested observers of the ac-
ton of congress, said the increase OF
wages legislated by congress would
mean about twenty-five per cent and
that the increase in cost of operation
of the 225 railroad systems OF the
country would amount to $6O,0OO,OOO.
