From Billy Sundays headquarters
today came information that the IA
nous evangelist soon will begin a
vigorous drive on patriotic Washing
tonian's pocketbooks. After convers-
ing with, Secretary OF the Treasury
McAhoo' on war revenues, savings
stamps and kindred projects, Billy
came 10 the conclusion that he must
'Iet 'er go" for humanity and the war.
"The tabernacle is yours" virtual.
ly said Mr.. Sunday TO Secretary Nc
Adoo. "I'm in this thing to q finish.
Bring all the representatives you
want to the tabernacle today to sell
war savings stamps, and I'll preach
the gospel of losnIng to America the
funds wherewith TO win this gigan-
tic fight against militsrism and des-
potism."
Beginning this afternoon agents of
the Treasury are expected to have
prominent booth space in the huge
shed for selling their precious wares
They are assured all the help that
Billy's oratory can afford them.

ADAMSONL LAW
FAILS TO BRING
8-HOUR WORKDAY

The report Of the Eight-Hour Com
fnittee, headed by General George W.
Goethals, named to study the opera
ton OF the Adamson law, has been
submitted to President Wilson. The
commission finds. as 4 result Of its
study of the first year Of the opera
ton Of the law. that 1t has not
brought a generally eight-hour day
into railroad operation. and that it
has increased the pay of the 100000
trainmen OF the country about $780,
O0O.00o a year. This substantiates
in large measures the statements Of
the railroad presidents as to what
would be the result Of an eight-hour
law.
When the demands OF the four
brotherhoods were before President
Wilson in 1916. the railroad execu-
tives estimated from carefully pre-
pared statistics that the cost would
be about 100000 600 a year. and stated
that IT would not be feasible to
change railroad operation to provide
for the actual yeight-hour day named
in the Adamson Law. 1t was the con-
tention of the brotherhoods that the
eight-hour day would not cost so
much as half Of the railroads esti-
mate. and that 1t would be possible
to speed up trains so that railroad
trainmen could work on an actual
