RAILWAY STRIKE COMING SOON
 HUNDRED
Representatives Think Court Decision on 8-Hour Law Is Too Long Delayed-Will Meet at Capital Thursday.
NRv Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Talk of a railroad strike was general among local labor union officials from the southeast gathered here tonight, but national officers of the four big broth erhoods declined to confirm rumors that definite strike plans actually were unedr consideration.
 The local leaders come for con ference tomorrow preliminary to the meeting of brotherhood and railway officials to be held in New York next Thursday. Section conferences will b held in other cities. and the brother hood heads insist that they can not forecast their course until the locals from all parts of the country have re- ported the result of their delibera- tions.
 Situation Serious.
 There were distinct indications, however, that there might be more truth in strike reports than appeared on the surface.
 The impression prevailed among some of the local officials that a gen eral waldout probably would follow quickly if the roads refused to accede to union demands al Thursdays con ference. Saturday was the day most consistently mentioned as likely to see climax of the long controversy be- tween the roads and their men.
 Await Mems Sanction.
 To all questions the brotherhood heads replied that there was nothing to be said as yet: that sentiment among the men the country over would have to be sounded out before a general strike could be ordered; and that many locals still were to be heard from. Neither from them nor from any other authoritative source coulj be gained any confirmation of the stories that the definite strike plans had been made.
 It was pointed out. however. that very little time would be required to put a strike order into operation if a decision were reached to take that course. All the machinery used to prepare for the big strike narrowly averted last fall could be put into ser vice quickly now if the need came.
 Resent Delay.
 The present controversy. like that of which it is the outgrowth. revolves around the eight hour day, and more than one of the local leaders here to- night declared the brotherhoods had waited too long already while the su- preme court deliberated on the con stitutionality of the shorter basic day. They argued that if the roads decline at Thursdays conference to put an eight hour day into effect forthwith. the unions would have full Justification for 3 strike

PEKING, Sunday. Mar. II. - The senate today approved the severance of relations with Germany by a vote of 152 to. 37. It is expected that the government will take action to this end tomorrow (Monday).
 After the house had approved the severance of relations Saturday. the German minister presented note to the foreign office offering to nego- tiate for the protection of Chinese lives and property in the submarine zone In official circles it is believed the legation hoped through the note to postpone the severance of diplo- matic relations.

The money will be received in a short time, and in the meantime preliminary work will be rushed as rapidly as possible, in order that actual construction may be undertaken by April L
 Surveyors and engineers will start to work on the road next Tuesday, Feb ruary $, it being planned to begin the work at Ktllen and push as far eastward as possible by using the money that will be available. The 1917 appropriation un- der the Bankhead bill will be ready after July l, and it is possible that this county may be able to secure part of the $2O0, 900 which Alabama will receive at that time If this can be done, the entire road to Rogersville will be finished without de- lay.
 Preparations are being made to adver- tse the letting of contracts for carry ing on the authorized work on the Jack son highway, the Waterloo road, and the Cloverdale road in which it will be speci- fled that work is to begin on April 1, and be rushed to completion.
 On the highway the section between St. Florian and Florence will be completed. On the Waterloo road work will be ex- tended three or four miles between Oak land and Rhodesville, which will probably be carried far enough to give hard SUIT face road all the way to Waterloo, though it is expected to do a great deal more work on this road as soon as possible. On the Cloverdale road general repairs and improvements will be made.
