EIGHT HOUR Query
WHAT RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
ACTUALLY OPERATE TRAINS?
Official Interpretation Anxiously
Awaited by Nearly 100000 EN-
P1oyees- Eight-Hour Law
Raises Puzzling Question.

What persons employed by the rail-
roads are actually engaged in the OPP
GRAFTON Of trains?
An official Interpretation of this
question is a~nxiously awaited by near
ly 100000 railroad employees. But
just who is the proper federal official
to make this Interpretation, no enc
seems to know at this time. Officials
Of the interstate commerce commission
say they have no authority in the mat
ter.
The whole trouble is due to the pas
sage of the eight-hour law. This law
contains a provision which says that
the eight-hour day shall apply to all
persons actually engaged in any ca
pacity in the operation Of trains used
for the transportation of persons or
property on railroads" But it is very
vague as to how to ascertain just what
employees are actually engaged
A. B. Garretson. chief Of the con-
ductors' brotherhood, says that the
new law applies to telegraphers and
yard switchmen. That is his personal
opinion Of the matter. Some of the
railroad officials here say they are not
so sure that it applies to the telegra-
piers.
A member of the interstate commits
sion sized UP the matter in the follow
ing statement:
THE whole question centers around
an Interpretation of the words 'actu-
ally engaged in any capacity in the
operation Of trains Just who will
make that Interpretation / do not
know. / do not believe the Interstate
commission has the power to do it.
The whole trouble is due to the hasty
preparation Of the law. Some branch
Of the government should have been
given power under the law and then
there would have been no trouble.
According to the way | read the
law, / do not believe the commission
to be appointed by the president has
the authority to interpret it. But
some official Of the government has
got to decide who are actually en-
gagged in the operation Of trains, or
else there will be more trouble be-
tween the railroads and their en-
%ployees."

THREE PROJECTS IN PANAMA
Part of Scheme for Defense Of Canal
Under Cons;deration-First Is
Military Railroad.

Three important railroad projects as
part Of q defense scheme for the Pa
mama canal have been under consider
alton for some time and present condi-
tons are likely to hasten their compile
ton. First Of these is the building OF
a military railroad connecting Punta
de Toro with the ruined fort of San
Lorenzo at the mouth Of the Chagres
river. The latter point, which figured
prominently in the history Of the 18TH
mus under Spanish rule, commands the
entrance of the Chagres river which
admits of Easy approach by water to
the Gatun locks. AS a fortified posi-
ton it would also have to be reckoned
with by any military expedition direct
ed at the cities OF Colon or Panama.
The primary object in the construction
Of the road is the rapid transportation
Of troops and military equipment from
Fort Sherman to San Lorenzo in case
hostilities were attempted by way of
the Chasres. The road will be six
to eight miles long and will be of five
foot gauge, the standard in use on the
Panama railroad. The road will be
part of an elaborate defense scheme
and will cost from $4,000 to $780,
900.
Two other roads are projected which
are not primarily of military character.
but would be useful in case Of hostili-
ties. The Panama national assembly
has I bill under consideration proyia-
ing for the construction Of q railroad
in the province of ChiriGui extending
from he town of La Conception
through Divala TO Il point in the bay
known as Charco AZul to be deter.
mined on later. The line will be a
branch Of the Chiriqui railroad now in
operation. 1t is expected to add great
~ in the industrial development of
chiriqui, one of the richest and most
fertile sections of the country. The
assembly is also considering the con
struction by the United States and Pa
mama jointly of a series Of railroads
and highways connecting the cities Of
Panama and Colon with points in the
interior. Such roads, it is believed,
would help the growth OF the cities az
we'll as the development of the interi-
or. Under the provisions Of a pro-
posed bill Panama is to pay 50 per cent
Of the cost of construction and the
executive is authorized to treat with
the United States government through
a special mission.

Liberty and Pedro were now some

Soon after they left the camp Pedro

sued. He pointed out the figures Of
the approaching Mexicans to Liberty,
who was able to distinguish their out
lines against the skyline.

checked somehow. Finally, as she
