ADAMSON LAW VALID.
r. r. STRIKE SETTLED.

Tie railroad strike has been a.
verified.
Yielding to the appeal of Presi-
dent " ilson and facing the prob
ability OF this country entering
into the world war, the railroads
granted the demands of the four
employees brotherhoods fer the
basic eight hour day. The deci-
sion is regarded as "a complete
surrender TO the brotherhoods
brought about, however, after the
patriotism of the railroad mana
gers had been put to the test.
The President S mediators were
not successful in their mission
until after more than fifty hours
anxious Conferences all of which
pointed until a short time before
the decision was announced TO d
deadlock.
That the crisis resulting from
the sinking of three American
ships by German submarines was
big factor in clearing the stu
alton and restoring to normal the
country S transportation facilities
was conceded by all.
A decision uphOlding as con
stitutional all features of the
AdamsOn act entalled:
Permanent establishment of a
work-day of s hours as a meas
ure or standard of calculating
wages and service of train opera
tives.
Temporary but immediate in
crease of about % per cent in
wages, during not less than seven
nor more than eleven months be-
ginning January last, of about
400, 900 trainmen, mostly of the
=" Big Four" brotherhoods of en-
gineers, firemen, conductors and
brakemen and those Principally
in freight service. Comparative
| ly few passenger trainmen were
given immediate benefit by the
law.
Cost to the railroads of such
Temporary increase is from $4O,-
100000 to $50, 100000, as estimat-
ed by the railroads, or about $50,
100000 as estimated by the broth
erhoodS. Future additional cost
of a permanent S-hour day scale
was estimated by the railroads
at $100,O0O,O00 annually, with
prospective additional wage de
mands from 1 100000 other EN-
ployes not benefited by the Adam
son law.
Il In due time an adjustment o.
rates may be expected which viii
take the increased expense Out
of the pocket of old man, Public.
