RAILWAY WORKERS
 TO GET 8 HOURS

London, Dec. 7.-The overnment's decision to give all the railway work CTS an eight hour day was surprise, because the public had not realized that any agitation was afoot. On the contrary, it had explained an attempt at general settlement at the Rail- ways programs which had been arran- ged.
 The news that the government had to decided nationalize the railways came only through a reply by Wins ton Spencer Churchill to a question of a sector during a electionary period. The railways are not in MT. Church ills department and no other member of the cabinet has confirmed his state- ment. Experts declare however, that even if Government canal had not been decided upon, the eight hour day would force it's adoption. For the gov- ernment to restore the railway to pri- vate competive ownership with the present wage scale they say, would be to hand over bankrupt properties be- cause the earning of dividends would be out of the question. ,
 The times estimates the countrys new railway wages bill at 127 million pounds sterling, the item of which are the pre-war wages of AZ million pounds sterling bonuses 55 million pounds sterling, and the cost of the eight hour day 25 million pounds sterling. There is a strong demand from the working classes and busl- ness men for reduction of charges to the pre-war level, since the work arc worn OntOriOuS1V l1N0erDald in comparison with American standards or other British authorities.
 The newspaper antOgonatlzed MT. Lloyd George are endeavoring to make political capital out of the way the concession which granted, saying the cpt in hurry and without coherent plan because it could not afford a strike on the eve of election.
