Labor May Drop Demand
1t is believed that labor delegates
generally do not contemplate the pos

hour day or forty-e ght hour week
although it was learned tonight that
some of those most interested IN con

have been made ware Of 'hc manner

covered and adm tied thnt labor might
be comre led to rccedn with reluctance

for'v- four hour week proposal.
"What we will do, however" this
man said, of we ere blocked in this
way will be to fight for adoption of y
recommendation to the next conference
in favor Of the forty hour week. This
will place the question in that form on
the agenda for the next conference. |

straight eight hour day versus the
forty-cight hour week, and the eXcep-
tions to the rule outlined in various
schedules contained in the draft con

RAILROADS MADE
 S11,OOO,OOO PROFIT DURING OCTOBER
By A,.ceIat,d Prs,

Washington, December 1.--Railroads under federal control made a net profit of s11. o0o. 900 in October, although es- timated figures showed only s2.0oo, 900. the railroad administration announced today in a preliminary report.
 This sS.ooo.0oO discrepancy, the ad- ministration explained. was due to the reinstatement of per diem charges on freight cars and the coal strike, which caused coal traffic to be held in transit. and earnings from these sources will be included in the November totals.
 The net operating income for the month was about ss6,ooO.OOo. but due to the causes mentioned in the report. the income amounted to only s77,000. 900. Operating expenses were abnormally large because of the extraordinary shifting of open-top equipment in or der to furnish the maximum number of coal cars and to large expenditures for maintenance of equipment which was in need of repair on account of the strikes of shopmen.
 For the 10 months of this year the railroads have shown a net loss of $269,76S.15S, but since July net gains have been reported.
 Both freight and passenger traffic showed an increase over October. 1918.
