OPINION OF TRA|NhEA
Failure of the Rail Heads and

Agreement
UNITED Press Dispatch.]

From Fridays Daily.
New York. December 29.-Refusal
on the part of the railroads to put
into effect the Adamson eight-hour
law and thus add approximately five
million dollars to the monthly pay
roll of the trainment, on the first day
of the new year, as the law itself
provides, may precipitate sporadic
railroad strikes in different parts OF
the country, according to the ex-
pressed belief in railroad circles
here today. The employees have in
sisted that the law must be put into
effect on that day, and the railroads
are equally determined that no such
action shall be taken, pending the
decision on the constitutionality OF
the law by the federal supreme court.
Attempts to make some sort OF an
agreement, as was done in the case o.
the switchmen, have failed.
New York, December 29.-The
brotherhood leaders announced that
100000 employees affiliated with the
trainmen's brotherhoods will decide

mittee handling the Adamson Act

standpoint, in regard to the Adam
son eight hour law. 1t is understood
that the leaders are intending to sub

morphine.

Fell Into Bad Habits.
With plenty of money in his pock-
cts, he soon fell into bad habits. He
had already acquired taste for
morphine, for he once had running
sore on one hand, and had to have
several operations. He suffered a
great deal from that and would use
morphine to ease the pain. He soon
grew fond of the drug.
At times he worked as a solicitor
for advertising for various newspa-
pers. He claimed to be an expert at
that.
He said he came to Mankato last
week from Kansas City. He thought
he arrived on Wednesday. He had $40
with him, the last of his money. He
picked up an acquaintance with a
stranger at the Saulpaugh hotel, and
the man gave him some morphine for
So. The man took charge of his grip,
saying he would take care of it for
him. Fry said Sunday that he did not
know where either man or grip were.
Fry said he did not know just how
it happened, but, his mind clouded
with whiskey and morphine, he got
into the office of local doctor and
was sent to the hospital. He said he
stayed there as long as his cash held
out.
Fry said he never before had been
arrested on a serious charge. He
said that he was once arrested in
Kansas City for fighting.
He said he was forty three years
old and had never been married

Cunningham, thirty -four, the lance
corporal who killed his wife in fit
of grief over her betrayal while he
was in the trenches today began a
sentence of one year under man.
slaughter charge. The. stern English
jury frankly tempered Justice with
mercy in Cunningham's case in
which the unwritten law played a
deciding part.
Cunningham, taking his turn in the
trenches was tormented by his wife's
silence. He seldom heard from her
during his first few months with, the
colors and later her letters ceased
altogether. Friends wrote MIN men
tioning a mysterious caller at his
home in London The soldier wrote
to local authorities in an effort to
learn what had become of his, little

sonal wording and red tape.
At the first opportunity Cunning
ham obtained leave from France and
returned home. A few days later the
police found him ying~~unconscious
across the dead form of his wife. She
had been strangled.
An officer said Cunningham was a
high type of soldier without a single
black mark against his name in the
army records. His former employer
gave him similar good character.
In passing the minimum sentence
the jury recommended that the con-
victed soldier ought not to be COM
PEELED to serve his term among com
