Heads of the railroad employes' brotherhoods, who are determined that the Adamson law shall not be broken down, con ferred here today with President Wil son, Attorney-General Gregory and their legislative representatives; de clared th'slr purpose to aid the Govern ment In every way In fighting Injunc tion suits against -the law, and made further plans -for perfecting a working agreement with their allies, the rail road men of the- American Federation of Labor.

Topeka & Santa Fe suits against the Adamson law, they will be flanked by representatives of the brotherhoods. . -, . Labor Forces Join Hands. Significance is attached to the fact that the brotherhood heads will ad dress the American Federation of La bor convention In Baltimore tomorrow. Never before in the history of the two organizations have any' of their mem bers met in Joint session, but their meeting at Baltimore will be the result of a carefully worked out agreement that the two forces shall Join hands In working for the general betterment of the organized railway employes'. After receiving the brotherhood heatis and Chairman Adamson, author of the Adamson law. President Wilson virtually finished his message to Con gress, in which he will recommend completion of the railway legislative programme outlined by him at the last session. These recommendations in clude provisions for the enlargement of the Interstate Commerce Commission and for compulsory Investigation of proposed strikes. The latter Is 'bitterly opposed by the brotherhood leaders. Strike Prospect Unsettled. Railroad executives figured only In conspicuously In today's activities here. Their representatives appeared before the Senate Interstate commerce com mittee and learned that their spokes man would be heard first on the rail road problem generally on next Thurs day. After their 15-mlnute conference with the President, the brotherhoods would admit only that they had con: gratulated Mr. Wilson on his re-election. W. S. Stone, head of the engineers, declared that he could not tell now whether a strike would be, called If-the law was not put into effect January 1. Representative Adamson went over plans for railroad legislation fully with the President. Afterward he said that he had no doubt that the eight-hour, law would be upheld by the court3 ea constitutional, adding that the measure was carefully framed by lawyers fully familiar with the situation and with the Constitution. "I have a bill prepared for addi tional legislation to meet the situation which I probably will Introduce as soon as Congress convenes," he said. Adamson Discounts Strike Talk. He added that he believed the Inter state Commerce Commission under ex isting laws already Lad the power to take wages into consideration in fixing freight rates. "I do not think there is anything In the talk that the ralload men will call a strike if the eight-hour law is pend ing in the courts," said Mr. Adamson. The brotherhood heads, still quite as uncommunicative and mysterious as they were at the time of the confer ences which resulted In enactment of the Adamson law, appeared well pleased with the situation tonisrht. They were particularly elated over their talk with the President and the prospects of addressing members of the federation in Baltimore tomorrow. N'o agreement exists between the brotherhoods and the federation lead ers that -an effort will be made to bring all railroad workers under an eight-hour law, Mr. Lee declared. ; ,,3 v. - - " y, f r fa - ' - - I - J- i-;.

Question to Be Made Paramount In All. Future Political Activities. - pictum That Labor Is Prop erty Is Resented. BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 20. The or ganised, labor forces of the. country to day "aytowed extreme hostility to the wrltof injunction as a means of stop ping a strike. First a reso.iitlon was adopted, unanimously, at the morning session-of the convention, of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, urging or ganized labor everywhere to make the injunction Question "the paramount is sue In all of their future political ac- tlvities." A more radical step was taken at the afternoon session, when the com mittee on the executive council's re port -took "up that feature of the re-port'-'dealrng with the decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Court classify ing labor as property. The committee submitted and the convention unanimously adopted a recommendation that "any injunction dealing with the relationship of em ployer and employe, and based on the dictum that labor is property, be dis regarded, let the consequences be what they may." The committee's report follows: "It seems' to be a settled purpose of interests antagonistic to the freedom of men and women who labor tj per suade and then use the judiciary and misconstrue constitutions', guarant -s and thereby nullify legislative enact ments, so as to leave but one enemy, and we. therefore, recommend that any injunctions dealing with the relation ship of employer and employe and h(, oh n tii rlirjum. 'labor is property. be wholly and absolutely regarded as usurpation and disregarded, let the con sequences be what they may. "Such decisions as the one rendered by the Supreme Court of the state of Massachusetts has its roots In class interests; it is usurpation and tyranny. Freedom came to man Decause " re lieved that resistance to tyranny Is obedience- to 5od. As it came, so it must be maintained. Kings could be. and .were, disobeyed and sometimes deposed. In cases of this kind judges must be""disobeyed and should be i-a-peacheds' ... The executive council s report, tne adoption of which the committee rec ommended, the convention concurring, dealt at length with the Massachusetts case, attacking '.he courts, and saying that there seemed to be no remedy. The council asked to be empowered to continue its aid to the Massachusetts C . VaHorfltinn in the fight. A resolution was adopted today reg istering the federation's "unrelenting opposition to any scheme or system which denies freedom, of speech, press tor the showing of motion pictures when they are based on facts." adamsonLaw vexation (Continued From Flrt F.) unreasonably deprives the company of its liberty- of contract and property without due' process of law; that it Is unworkable and uncertain: and that It unjustly excludes certain railroads and certain employes from its operation, and also -on account of the enormous and unjus' penalties It imposes. The roads complain that the Adam son law substitutes a time Dasts lor payment,-' whereas present contracts are on the- trip basis and are measured, generally speaking, by mileage. If tno trip is made within schedule time or at the agreed rate of speed, there Is no payment except for the mileage made. Payment on-.the hour basis is a suppre mentary "form of -payment where tne schedule is exceeded or the agreed, rate of speed is BOt-'maintained. - The Santa ' Fe indicates that It is wlll lng.r pending the i final decision of the case, to . keep special account of what its trainmen, would receive under the Adamson taw, and give bond to Insure its 7200 employes that they will suffer no loss if the decision finally is against the- road's -contention. LABOR i TORCES MAY I'XITK Alriiiation of '. Brotherhoods W ith Fed- .-- eration Is Proposed. BALTIMORE.- Nov. 20. Affiliation of the four railroad brotherhoods with the American Federation of Labor as a separate body was regarded as more than a possibility tonight by Influen tial federation, leaders. It was report ed on reliable authority mat repre sentatives of the railways department of the federation Jiad been In confer ence with officials of -the brotherhoods looking to an affiliation ef all railway men with the federation. Two sepa rate organizations of railway employes, with membership In the federation that would give them the support of the organized labor forces of the country In any effort to advance the Interests of all organized railway workers,, was the plan, according to information ob tained tonight. It has been arranged that the presi dents of the four brotherhoods shall place their cause before the federation convention at tomorrow morning's ses sion. The federation executive coun cil already has reported to the conven tion that the brotherhoods -were "as sured of the support and co-operation of the American Federation of Labor in their struggle" for the eight-hour day. "There can be no temporary amal gamation of organizations affiliated with the federation and unaffiliated bodies, however," a federation official declared. He pointed out that the constitution- of the American Federation of Labor did not permit such amal gamation. AMERICAN GOURTMODEL DR. BCTLEIl SUGGESTS PATTERS FOR PEACE TRIBUSAI. Ill President of Columbia Outlines Idea of International Method of Settling Disputes. NEW YORK. Nov. 20. The United States Supreme Court was suggested by President Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, today as a model for an international court of justice. ut. tsuiier j idea was outlined In an address at a luncheon given by the World Court League. "What we mean by a court in the American sense is absolutely unknowr in Europe," said Dr. Butler. "This has been the great obstacle in our efforts to bring about the establishment of a world tribunal. Unless such a court is modeled on our Supreme Court we can hardly hope fer its successful estab lishment. "In German administrative circles the idea of a body of judges sitting free from all administrative Influences and giving their judgments against the government, as our judges again and again have done, is inconceivable."
