This prophesy was given 4e7
years before Ch,is.. And proved
to be fulfilled in Christ at his
death IN this language.
Then Judas which had betray.
ed him when he saw that he was
condemned repented himself,
and brought again the thirty
pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders. Saying l

trayed the innocent blood. And
they said; What is that to US?
see thou to that. And he cast
down the pieces o. silver in the
temple and departed and went
and hanged himself. And the
chief priests took the silver
pieces and said 1t is not lawful
for to put them into the treasury
because it is the price o; blood.
And they took counsel, and
bought with them the potter's
field to bury strangers in.
Wherefore that field was called.
The field OF blood unto this day.
Then was fulfilled that which
was spoken by Jeremy the pro,
phet saying, And they took the
thirty pieces OF silver the price
of him that was valued whom

Railroad Legislation desired by Presi-

without waiting for action by the Sen
ate. After conference with the
President to-day, and while the Senate
committee was continuing its hearings
on the subject, Representative Adam

committee. announced that within a
few davs he would introduce and seek
the passage of bills designed TO pre-

Mr.. Adamson also will press his

nous consent for consideration OF the

Vigorous opposition to the proposed
compulsory notice measure from or
ganiZed labor generally is anticipated.
1t was to fight such proposals that the
four railway brotherhOods and the
American Federation Of Labor repre-
sentatiyes recently allied themselves
unottlcally. They oppose all meas
ures forcing men to labor.
brotherhood officials are expected
here within the next few days to tes-
tify before the Senate committee, and
it is expected that they then will in
augurate a fight ON the Adamson pro-
posals.
House leaders pointed out tonight
that passage of the Adamson bills by
the House would not interfere with
the Senate procedure. The Senate
has before it a bill passed by the
House at the last session. to enlarge
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
and any House measures easily could
be attached to it as amendments. Ac-
ton on the entire bill in conference
then would be prompt, it is argued.
