Roads Satisfied and See
End of General Strike
in New Statute
Unions Disown Law
Rail Union Chiefs Declare
They Want to Deal Di-
rect with Lines

After twenty-four hours considera-
tion of the Adamson law decision the
railroads were satisfied yesterday, but
the brotherhood chiefs were more or
less disconsolate. In the decision the
managers of the roads saw an end to
general strikes. The brotherhood
chiefs, while not conceding that this
view is exact, wero declaring that they
never wanted the Adamson law any
way.
Walker u. Hines. who as chairman
Of the committee of counsel directed
the fight against the Adamson act,
spoke for the railroads, when he said
that the court had ruled that the
rights Of labor, as well as those Of
property, are subordinate TO the
rights of society as a whole.
"The profoundly significant feature
of the decision" said he, lis its dec
laration that Congress has power TO
compel the brotherhoods to submit to
arbitration and put limitations on
their leaving the service. The decision
appears to be a complete answer to
the idea that the trainmen have an
unrestricted constitutional right to
demand whatever wages and condi-
tions they desire and tie mp the trans
portation service of the country when
ever their demands are not granted.
W. G.. Lee, spokesman Tor the
brotherhoods, reiterated his declara-
ton Yesterday that the Adamson law
was not sought by the brotherhoods:
"The records will show" said he,
chat we never asked 1t or wanted IT..
We prefer the right TO deal with the
railroads direct"
Others of the brotherhood men were
inclined to refuse TO take the opinion
Of the court as law. In Chicago, Tim
othy Shea, assistant president OF the
engineers, declared it merely the per-
sonal view of the Chief Justice.
"The right 10 strike cannot be taken
away excens by constitutional amend
ment," he said.
The brotherhood leaders and a COM
mittee Of managers were busy yester-
dav arranging a working basis for the
making Of contracts between the in
dividual roads and the brotherhoods.
The railroads concede that the mem
hers Of the International Switchmen's
Union. which arbitrated its demands
and received an award Of ten hours
nav for nine hours work, are included
nv the Adamson law. They Will be so
notified to-day. II the brotherhoods
had their way they would be compelled

Full Crew Law Amended
New Jersey Legislature Grants
Relief to Railroads

Trenton. y. j.. March 20.-The New
Jersey Legislature to-day passed bill
designed to amend the full crew rail
road law by permitting the railroads
TO file complaints with the Board OF
Public Utility Commissioners to show
that trains are overmanned.
The measure accepted by the Sem
ate and House is different from the
original bill, which called for the re-
peal Of the full crew law with power
vested in the Utility Commission to
say how many workmen should be on a
train. The amended bill would place
upon the railroads the burden of show
ing that the trains are overmanned.
The Senate passed a bill providing
for physical training in the public
schools, supplemented by an optional
course in military training for high
schools
Governor Edge to-day signed bill
for cities to buy and sell food in emer-
gencies.

LoveH Fapors Compulsory
Railroad Strike Arbitration

Washington. March 20.-Robert s.
Lovctt. chairman Of the Union Pacific
board. before the joint Congressional
railroad committee to-day advocated
compulsory arbitration of all disputes
between railroads and employees direct
ly connected with the operation Of
trains. These are the only disputes in
which the public is interested. he said,
adding that public interest was all
that had impelled railroads to submit
to the demands of employees.
Railroads have come 70 believe" he
said. chat they can whip these strikes.
My own opinion is that If the public
WAS not interested we could whip them,
but as railroads are subject to public
opinion they have submitted 70 de-
mands Of the men"
Brotherhood members. Mr.. Lovett
said. had shown they had no regard
for "the public, Congress or the Su-
preme Court" Their leaders. he added.

being made. Since there is such law
this institution will obey it. But If any
mother and child come 10 me hungry
shall feed them before | send them to
the charities organization"
Joseph II. Kenehan, official god
father, had no opinions as to the new
ruling, but admitted that it was try
ing job playing fate to all the babies
who come TO the foundlings' ward at
Bellevue. He gives them their names
and their religions, sees that they are
baptized properly, and after their three
days at Bellevue sends them on their
respective ways. He does all that reg
ular godfather does, except promise 10
keep an eye upon them forever after.
Names for foundlings are chosen
from two long typewriter lists, one
made out by the New York Foundlings
Home and the other by the New York
Nursery and Child's Hospital, Prot
estant institution. II is turn and turn
about If the last child brought into
the ward was made Catholic the next
will be a Protestant, and will get the
top name on the list. Mr.. Kenehan
never allows himself TO be swayed by
the question Of fitness. If the name
written down is Lillian White, that is
the name given the next mite, no mat
ter how black she may be.
Negroes Get Fancy Names
"The negro children seem to draw all
the fancy ones" the official godfather
said. "The last one was Maurice Kane
There are enough names now waiting
TO accommodate foundlings for many
months at the usual rate.
Religion is also a matter of chance
except when the mother has left note
stating her preference. Then the baby
goes on the books as "Catholic by re-
quest" or Catholic by crucifix" if the
child is wearing one. If the youngster
is found on a church doorsteps he is
brought up in the religion of that
church
There is always a note with the baby
the official godfather said. 1t inyari-
ably asks the world TO be kind to the
abandoned infant, and often goes on 70
mention what hours it ought 10 be fed
and that it mustn't be permitted to kick
the covers Off at night, as it takes cold
easily. The child is almost always
comfortably dressed. The baby who
was left in the dispensary on Monday
had a dainty little outfit left with IT,
including handmade silk dresses.
Patrolman John Lehman is another
busy man. II is his duty to trace the
parents Of as many as possible OF the
abandoned babies. Sometimes a mere
tag on the child's clothing enables him
to trace the mother to the hospital
where the baby was born, and so on to
find out who she was. A mother who
left her baby on the doorstep Of a
Polish church one day this week was
identified by small boy, who had seen
her there when he went in TO vespers
after the tag had led to the hospital.
Four-ffths of the outcast babies are
abandoned in the Thirty-frst precinct
or silk stocking" precinct, where the
mothers seem to hope that their babies
may be adopted into wealthy homes.

training service until September 9TH.
The men for this state will go to the
cantonment camp now building at Lit
tie Rock, known as Camp Pike, and 1t
will not be ready for occupancy be-
fore September first, if not a few
days later.
The same draft numbers apply to
registrants in all the counties OF the
state, as well as to all states of the
United States. For instance, 258
called for men of that number in ev-
cry county and draft district in the
United States, and as there were APP
proximately $500 districts, this one
number called for $500 men.
Through the courtesy of the Fay
etteville Democrat, and some manual
labor on the part of the editor of this
paper, as we'll as the Fayetteville pa
per, the draft numbers were posted
in Springdale as fast as they came ov-
er the wires The bulletin board in
front of Ownbey's drug store was a
scene of feverish anxiety and antici-
patton for quite crowd all during
the afternoon and evening,
If you have the red serial" num-
Der of any relative of friend, it will
be an easy matter to find out whether
they are drafted. as the numbers that
apply in Washington county, apply
all over the Nation. The same in
Benton, Madison, Carol and Boone
counties. Some districts and counties,
however, run higher in numbers than
Washington, and some lower, those
below Washington county will
shown on the Washington county list
those above will not be shown.
Any registered man, called IN the
draft, absent from his home district
need not return to his home district
for personal exemption or examina-
ton, but may be ordered by his home
board to be examined elsewhere. This
clears up a question that has been
given The News. Some of the boys
in this section now visiting relatives,
4he registered Idaho, and other
states, and who are called on the first
draft may report to their home board,
and be ordered by them to take the
examination or claim exemptions in
this section. This will relieve them of
the burden Of trip to Idaho, or other
places.
