only because it was hazardous. but also
because 1t appealed to his humanitarian

the Bill Presiding.
By the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 81
Leading representatives of the railways
of the country and of the trainmen's or
CARNATIONS spoke here tonight before the
American Academy of Political and Social
Science and reviewed the situations lead
ing up to and subsequent to the passage
by Congress of the Adamson eight-hour
law. William C. Adamson, chairman of
the House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce. author of the law,
presided.
Frank Trumbull, chairman of the rail-
way executives advisory committee. and
Elisha Lee of New York discussed the
problem from the viewpoint of the rail-
roads, and w. G. Lee, president Of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and
Warren S. Stone Of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, presented the sub
the 400. 900 railway workers who are MEM
bers of the big Four" brotherhoods.
cambridge Colby of New York also spoke.
s'Crux Of the Problem"
Asserting that the crux of the railway
labor problem is the public interest in it,
Mr.. Trumbull said that "any adjudication
of the present controversy which leaves
out the public interest is bound to prove
unsatisfactory.
.'It is not unnatural" he said. "for the
railway employees to desire higher wages
at a time when wages are being increased
all around them and the cost of living is
increasing Some method must sooner or
later be devised which will safeguard their
as we'll as the interest Of in
vestors and the public"
Observing the possibility that the
Supreme Court may declare the Adam
SON law a valid exercise of the COM
merce power, Elisha Lee said that
with such a precedent established
new era would be opened in the public
control of the transportation industry.
and that the way would then be cleared
for a broad public oversight of rail-
road wages and working conditions.
If the eight-hour law is found uncon-
etitutional, and the brotherhoods
threaten strikes to enforce their
original demands. the country will face
the situation confronting it last
August"
