Railroads To Fight.

The interrupted conferences be-
tween representative of the nations
railways and their 100000 brother
hood employees, looking toward an
ad justment of their newly formulat-
of the Adamson eight-hour law, were
not resumed here yesterday. In
stead of meeting, the railway mana
gers announced their purpose of
fighting the law to the end in the
courts, while the brotherhood chiefs
who remained in the city left for
their homes protesting to believe
that they may safely rest their case
with President Wilson.
Both sides said they could not
foretell the probable outcome of the
new controversy. The railroad man
ayers are certain they can establish
the unconstitutionality OF the t>dam-
son law, while the brotherhood lead
ers are equally sure that the law will
be upheld by the courts and enforced
in letter and spirit.
The attitude of the railways was
summarized in a statement issued
by Elisha Lee at the close of an all
day meeting of the railroad repre-
sentatives. The statement reads:
I'VE are all agreed to fight to the
end. The means to be employed
were fully discussed and the concen,
sus of opinion was that it was neces
sary to file suits. questioning the
constitutionality of the law in ever.

SKIRTS TO Be FULL
PARTISAN MooIsTEs HAVE MADE
THEIR DECISION.
Change Is Not Likely TO Be Enthusi
astically Welcomed by the Ma
jorlty of Women, But 1t Seems
to Be Certainty.

Women are insisting that their stree
skirts be made without exaggeratinl
fullness, and this is probably as far al
anyone will get. If the dressmakeri
are determined to spread six yards
material around our ankles, the ma
jority of women will probably submit
and in so doing, they will add years t.
their age as well as inches to thei
hens.
The long, full skirt is peculiarl!
awkward in the evening. 1t canno
obtain dignity, and yet, it looks al
though we will have to face this fash
ion. There are advanced gowns il
which the trimmed skirts flow on tn,
floor, front, sides and back. So far
we have held our own quite wei
against the inroad of ugly ideas ant
transformed original awkwardness in
to marked degree of grace. The bes
wish is that we continue to do it.
Ii the farthingale or distended hiI
line becomes universal some of th'
awkwardness will be lifted. If thii
ldea becomes exaggerated tnrougi

of troublesome costumery, but if it il
merely used as means of keeping

it will redeem the extra full skirt.
