Railroads Apparently Not Per-
mitted to Pay Any Employee a
Days Wage for Less Than
Eight Hours Work

Mackinac Island. Mich. Sept 13-
Samuel o. Dunn Of Chicago. editor Of
a railway magazine. who acted in an
advisory capacity to the railroad preS-
idents in the negotiations which pre-
ceded the passage Of the Adamson law,
suggested in a speech here tonight that
the eight-hour law may prove a boom
erang to the brotherhoods He assert
ed that the law fixes an eight-hour
pay day and not an eight-hour work
day. =
limit the number Of hours that rail-
way employees may work in a day. 1t
merely limits the number of hours
that the railway may require them to
work before 1t pays them a days
wages. In other words, it fixes an
eight-hour pay day and not an eight
hour work day.
'It is certain under this law If it
should be upheld. the railways would
have to pay a days wages for eight
hours work. but it is not equally OBJ
vious that the law prohibits them from
paying any employee in the train ser
vice days wages before he has done
at least eight hours work. 1t says that
eight hours, no more, no less. shall be
standard. 1t would appear, therefore,
that under this provision, if the rail-
ways should pay any employee a days
wage for less than eight hours work
they would violate the law and sub
Ject themselves to its pains and PEN
alties.'
Many trainmen in passenger service,
1t is said, receive full pay for less than
eight hours work.

Ambassador Gerard Is
Again Under German Fire

Berlin, Sept. 15.-(via London).-
The American ambassador, James w
Gerard, is again under fire in a sec
ton Of the German press, this time for
a remark attributed to him regarding
"a speech made recently by DR.. Gustav
Stresemann. National Liberal member

other things resumption Of the sub
marine warfare.
Ambassador Gerard Is quoted as
saying that he did not understand
how the representatives OF districts
for which export to America was a
vital question could advocate ruth
less submarine warfare. The National
Liberal press agency. in a communi-
cation to the newspapers, takes the
ambassador to task for what It termed
"unwarranted intervention in q pure

authorized the president to confer
with Health Commissioner Emerson
as to whether children who have been
out Of the city shall be asked to pre-

Commercial Club To
Ask Council For Sewer

A recommendation from the CONNER
cial club regarding the sewer to be ex-
tended on Thirteenth street will be pre-
sented to the city council this evening.
The communication recommends that a
sewer be constructed on Thirteenth
street to extend to Tweutyfifth street
to what is known as the slaughter house
district. The distance is about one mile
and half and the cost of construction
estimated to be about $4,000.
Should this sewer be constructed
Steusloff Bros. agree to build an abat-
toir at cost of not less than $4,000.
A modern abattoir would make Salem
an independent market for hogs and
cattle raised in the Willamette valley.
Albany has Just completed an abat-
tor at a cost of $l6,500 and several 9th
er cities expect to build. An abattoir
of the size proposed for Salem, would
employ at all times 10 skilled men. The
will probably be refer
red to the committee on sewers, Alder
man Hudelson, Unruh and Millett, and
be disposed of at another meeting. The
communication is signed by A. Huckesi
tein, S. B. Elliott, c. NJ. Eppley, W. A.

ENGLAND WARNED
BY KING Of SWEDEN
AT Opening Of Parliament To-
day Swedish King Attacks
British Policy

Stockholm, Jan. H. In a speech
from the throne at the opening of par
lament today, King Gustav delivered
what many regarded as u warning to
England against further acts against
Swedish commerce.
The king called attention to the al
legged "usurpation of power" by the
belligerents. While he did not detail
any of the usurpations, the remark was
regarded as significant in view of re-
ports that England is about to blockade
Germany and cut off the trade between
Germany and Sweden.
"Belligerents," he said, "have neg
lected in an ever increasing decree the
written international laws for the pro-
lection for neutrals and for limiting
violence in war. Sweden more than
once has been obliged to intervene
against the attempts to put her indus
trial and commercial life under the
usurped control of another power"
His announcement was greeted with
cheers.
c. P. Stewart, United Press staff cor
respondent, recently declared that
Sweden would Join Germany if she
were convinced that the allies might
otherwise win.
