Enrolled Copy Of Bill
Signed Without Delay

The enrolled copy of the Adamson bill
was signed by Speaker Clark. OF the
House, at $40 o'clock. Six minutes later
President Pro Tenn Clarke, of the Sem
ate, affixed his signature.
A special messenger hurried to the
White House, where Executive Clerk
Forster was waiting to receive the docu-
ment.
1t was said there that the measure
would be signed as soon as the Presi-
dent returned from Shadow Lawn this
morning.
The Department OF Justice decided that
there was no legal prohibition against
signing the bill on Sunday.
The Senate had not labored under such
tenseness and suppressed excitement
since President Wilson drove through
Congress legislation to repeal toll ex-
emptions in the Panama Canal act
Throughout the day there were frequent
outbreaks OF passion, bitterness and poll
tics. The galleries were filled with
spectators, who sat patiently during the
long discussion.
While certain of the Republican Sena-
tors were opposing the bill and at times
denouncing the attitude of the brother
hoods as a hold-up, Elisha Lee, chair
man of the national conference commit
tee OF railroad managers. smiled his
approval

back to the Senate. where the Acting
PRESIDENT pro ,tempore put his name to
IL, and 1t was sent on its way to the
white House, to await the disposition OF
the President.
IT was the original intention to send
the Dill to Shadow Lawn had It been
passed sufficientiy early. 1t was found,
however. that the messenger could not
reach there In time. A telephone con
ference with the White House offscials
showed that President Wilson would ar
rive In Washington early this morning.
The decision then was reached to keep
1t here and let the President sign It this
morning.
