NEAR STRIKE REVIVES
U. S. OWNERSHIP IDEA
Unless Settlement Is Speedy Move
ment Will Be Given Impetus,
Is Belief at Capitol.

The threatened railroad strike has
again brought to the fore discussion of
possible government ownership of the
railroads in this country. At the Capt.
tol today II was said that unless some
settlement of the difficulties Is speedily
reached by the roads and their em-
ployes government ownership move
ment will be given considerable i'm
petus.
There was speculation. also. regard
ing the action Of the Supreme Court IN
the Adamson eight-hour law. An i'm
preston has gained ground. it was said.
among railroad lawyers that the court
would sustain the law. so far as the
basic eight-hour-day principle is con-
cerned, but that the feature of the law
which specifies that the men shall re-
ceive the compensation which they
have received for ten hours' work In
the past for an eighI-hour day in the
future would be turned down by the
court.
Under such an opinion, while the men
would win in the matter of the eight
hour day. the question of wages would
still be open and would have to be set
tied by the roads and the men.
