Appeals to Road Heads.

In his order yesterday Mr.. McAdoo
asked railroads considering extensions
to be guided by the war time necessity
for conserving capital, labor and mate
rial, and by the idea that enterprises
which might be meritorious from the
standpoint of an individual railway,
may not be desirable now that the rail-
way systems have been unified under
government control. He specified that
construction of new lines, of branches
and purchase of locomotives or cars

Mr., M'ADOO cuts
RAILROADS Powers
Extensions of Lines, Capital
or Equipment Must Have
His Sanction.

Immediately after President Wilson
signed the railroad bill Director Cen
eral McAdoo ordered that construction
of new lines or branches or extensions
of existing lines should not be started
locomotives or cars should be ordered
without his sanction
The director general directed that no
work involving a charge to capital &C
count of more than $4,000 should be
contracted for or begun unless author
lied. Authorization will be given only
when the work is absolutely necessary
for the protection and development Of
wartime transportation facilities.
The signing of the bill opens the way
for the railroad administration to pro-
coed with necessary extensions. with
the negotiation of agreements on COM
financitl assistance to- the companies.
Aid for New Haven Road.
One of the first results probably will
be the conclusion of an arrangement
by which the government will partici-
pate to some degree in the meeting
of S43.00o,6O0 notes of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railway, due
April IL. An announcement on this
subject may be made this week.
Without waiting for the railroad bill
to pass the final stage of the Presi
dents approval, Mr.. McAdoo had
created in the railroad administration
n division of capital expenditures, head
ed by Robert S. Lovett former director
of priorities for the War Industries
Board. to supervise the regulation of
additions and bettermentS.
This division will scan all requests
for the building of new terminals, ex-
tension of lines. purchase of locomo-
tives, cars and other equipment. and
all other enterprises requiring expendi-
ture of capital. Engineers of the rail-
road administration will report on the
physical necessity of proposed better
ments before these are considered by
higher officials. After being approved
by Mr.. Lovett and the director gen.
eral proposals involving capital ex-
penditures will go to the division of
finance and purchases, headed by John
Shelton Williams. for execution

CR|MP'
|Nb0RLAND'S MOVE
Strikes Eight-Hour Amend
ment From Agricultural Ap-
preparation Bill.
MEMBERS REVERSE STAND

The opponents of the Borland eight
hour amendment, by which a. minimum
work day of eight hours, without over
time pay, is required of government
employees, hit the amendment II blow
between the eyes late yesterday after
noon, from which it may never recover
BY vote of 40 to % the Senate
adopted a motion of Senator sheppard
of Texas to strike from the agricul-
ture appropriation bill the Borland
amendment. A little later the bill was
finally passed by the Senate free of
the eight-hour amendment 1t now
goes to conference. and the differences
between the two houses must be fought
out there.
The Borland amendment has been
attached also to the Legislative appro-
priation bill, in connection with the
proposed increase in salaries for the
government employees, and the Senate
will be called upon to deal with ii on
that measure.
But this does not dismay the op-
moments of the minimum clght-hour
day They believe that the Senate will
take the same action when the leSis-
Iatiye bill comes before il.
Senate Sentiment.
There is considerable sentiment in the
Senate in favor of establishing maxi
mum eight-hour day, with time and
half pay for overtime Should provision
be made for the overtime pay. ii is likely
the Senate would approve the eight
hour day.
Such a proposition is not the Bor-
land amendment 1t can scarcely be
said to have any relation to the Bor-
land amendment
An amendment was made in the Sen
ate yesterday afternoon, before the
amendment was stricken from the bill,
to suspend the rules so as to make in
order an amendment offered by Senator
Shafroth of Colorado, for overtime pay
for the clerks. Such motion requires
a tvo-thirds' vote to pass, however. and
the roll call showed 33 senators voting
for it and "a against it, not sufficient
majority to put through the motion for
suspension of the rules, but clearly in
dicating the sentiment in the Senate

are to have an eight-hour working day

AS received by wireless. the note is

tIat the Berlin government is no long

solved on peace at any price and, if
necessary are prepared to get rid of

men, said last night, I'VE gladly clos
ed our theatres at the suggestion of
the health authorities and would will
ingly keep them closed so long as pub
lie welfare may require. But, mas

seems to have been removed, Ne trust
that the ban on amuSements will be

any suggestions or regulations which
the health service may make, as it is
our purpose to cooperate fully with

Drs Mossman and Sharp, represent
ing the Public Health Service, conSi0-
cred the advisability of permitting the
theatres to open early this week, but
decided that they should remain clos
ed until all danger is passed 1t is
understood that their present decision
will be determined by the late reports
on the epidemic.
The theatre men said that they wish
ed it made clear that they are not en-
deavoring to harrass the health au-
thoritieS IN any way and stand ready
to keep their houses closed if it Is
shown that public safety demands such
action.
