DRASTIC BILL
WOULD FORBID
RAIL STRIKES
New Adamson Measure Pro-
vides for Compulsory
Arbitration.
LOCKOUTS ARE TABOOED
Board of Inquiry Would Be Given
Three Months in Which to
Settle Trouble.

A new and drastic eight-houy railroad
law, DR. vidins compulsory bttraton.
was INTRODUCED IN the House just before
adJournment yesterday by Representa-
tive Adamson, Of Georgia, chairman OF
the House Committee on Interstate Com
meroe.
The bill incorporates features In two
bills framed by Senator Newlsnds. but
not yet introduced by him in the Senate,
and also amends the present Newlnnds
mediation law. It was introduced in the
House yesterday because Judge Adsmson
has become weary Of the slow progress
Of railroad legislation on Its way TO the
Senate.
The Adamson bill, while establishing a
general eight-hour law for railroad em-
ployes, provides that employees them
selves may work overtime with the spe-
cifc approval of the InterLstate Com
merce Commission, which Is to prescribe
all exceptions and tolerances under the
eight-hour requirements.
Board of Inquiry.
In event Of the, failure of mediation,
both sides must notify the President and
the board Of mediation A board OF IN
auiry shall then be created by the Pres
ident which shall ascertain all facts and
within three months report a recoEnmen-
dation for the settlement Of the\c con-
troversy.
Pending the final report Of this special
board of inquiry 1t will be unlawful for
anyone to institute a strike or lockout.
Il strengthens its general provisions by .
clause authorizing the President to COM
mandeer and operate the lines of COM
mon carriers in certain emergencies This
provision. according TO an explanation by
Judge Adamson, would prevent the block
ing of commerce and would give the
President the control OF the roads for
military necessity.
In other words, il the railroads and
employees and the mediation board and
board of inquii all failed to straighten
out differences that may arise, the gov
ernment would take over the operation
of any particular line itself.
Eisht-Hour Provision.
The provision for hours Of service fol-
lows:
That 1t shall be unlawful for any COM
mon carrier, it's officers or agents, sub
ject to this act, to require or permit any
employe. subject to this act, TO be or re-
main on duty for a longer period than
eight hours in any period Of twenty-four
hours. but such eight hours service need
not be consecutive; provided. that the
Interstate Commerce Commission may
after full hearing in a particular case
and for good cause shown extend the
period within which a common carrier
shall comply with the provisions OF this
proviso as to such case, and the Inter
state Commerce Commission Is author
lied in case OF disagreement or contro-
versy on the request Of either party or
OF any third person or on its own motion
to prescribe regulations of or allowances
and tolerances for necessary overtime to
be paid for at not exceeding the pro rata
of wage per day"

BACK TO PRISON
FOR THOUSANDS
Criminals at Liberty Under
Suspended Sentences May
BeReturned to Cells.

Thousands Of convicted criminals now
enjoying liberty under suspended SEN
tences may be locked In prisons and COM
PEELED to serve their terms, the Depart
ment Of Justice announced yesterday, In
conformity with decision of the Unitod
States Supreme Court which denies the
right Of Federal judges to suspend SEN
tences. stating that it is an executive
rather than judicial prerogative.
Those free under suspended sentsnce
imposed in the District Of Columbia arc
the only persons exempt from action by
the Department Of Justice, q special sta
tute authorizing local courts to suspend
sentences.
Every case Of suspended sentence In
the United States in the last ten years
therefore VIII be gone over, and many
convicted criminals who have been enjoy
ing their liberty will hastily be thrust be-
hind bars. to remain until their terms
expire.
Circulars yesterday were forwarded to
all United States District attorneys d.
recting them to report Immediately to the
Department Of Justice, lists Of all such
cases of suspended sentences occurring
In their jurisdiction during the last ten
years.
Attorney General Gregory said last
night that the Supreme Court mandate
would not issue until the close Of the
regular Supreme Court sessions in June.
BY that time, he stated, the Department
OF Justice would have information on all
these cases and would be prepared TO
formulate a policy.
One OF the remedies suggested by a
prominent attorney last night, was to
have the President pardon all of those
affected. the supposition being that the
court did not suspend sentence unless
there were extenuating circumstances.

SCHOOL NOTES.

The Sank Centre public schools
have taken another step forward. The
Board of Education, ever on the alert
to advance their standing, decided at
the opining of the fall term this
year, that if the young people were
to get full benefit from the advant-
ages offered them, a higher physical
standard must be established.
With that idea in mind, a school
nurse has been installed whose duty
it is to safeguard the health of the
children. She will also direct the
physical exercises in the, school,
grading it to suit the various ages.
Each child will have a complete
physical examination and individual
instruction in hygiene, correct pos
ture and diet. Where a physical de-
feet is found, the parent will be mott
fed and urged to consult the family
physician or dentist.
A note from the school nurse does
not mean that remedial measures are
imperative but it does mean that the
condition is so grave that the ad-
vice Of qualified physician or dentist
is essential.
Parents are urgently requested to
cooperate with the schools in this
matter and the nurse is ready at all
times to receiv visits from parents
and explain more fully the conditions
found.
Later in the year, supplementary
breakfasts will be given to the poorly
,nourished children in the schools and
also an afternoon lunch. This, in
combination with the shower baths,
graded exercise and proper clothing,
is going to raise the physical stand
ards in our school very much higher.
DR.. John Robinson, of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota Hospital Unit,
while awaiting his call to the colors,
very generously. offered to do the
dental inspection. Only a small per
cent of the children have been ex-
amined so far but the conditions are
SO deplorable that one If our dentists,
with the true spirit of service, has
offered to give one half a day
week to the schools as long as con-
ditions warrant it, provided the Board
of Eduction install dental chair and
equipment. Teeth are more valuable
to children from, three to nine years
of age than to adults because adults
are not only better able to chew with
poor teeth but their digestive organs
are better able to cope with i'm
properly chewed food.
The first permanent molar comes in
at the age of six and is the most i'm
portant tooth in the arch because it
is the keystone upon which rests the
structural development of the jaw, the
relation of the upper to the lower jaw
and the whole expression of the face.
It is the most often neglected be-
cause parents mistake it for a baby
tooth.
Upon the completion of the physisc-
al examination, in about two weeks,
the statistics will be published and
also the percentage of response on
the part of the parents which will be
most enlightening.
With the approach of cold weather
and because Of exceeding high prices,
it is feared that number of children
