Make Adamson Law Real 8-Hour Affair. EXCESS TIME TO BE CUT Schedule Will ' Be Rearranged and Doable Tracks Built, Division Points Changed, In Order to Make Faster Time. The Adamson law is to bo made a real eight-hoar law. Railroad managers in Portland and throughout the country are laying their plans to place all their trains freight as well as passenger on an eight-hour schedule and to maintain that standard as nearly as possible. This process will be particularly dif ficult on most of the Western lines, where grades are steep and double track sections are few and far be tween. But the rail managers have made up ' their minds to work out the eight-hour schedule wherever they can. This will require some substantial expenditures " . in many particulars, even to the extent ' f Ot providing double tracks in some places, building additional passing ' tracks, speeding up the trains and per- haps, in some instances, changing the . division points. .- Operating officials in the Northwest i '.have been in casual communication . . with heads of lines in the Middle West .and the East, and find an almost uni r ' versal agreement to apply the eight- I hour day that the Adamson law pro . ' "ivides, in fact as well as In theory. Some Max Be Disappointed. ' True, this may be disappointing to ' eome trainmen who had hoped to profit - by the overtime service at the rate of V.V. time and a half. While a great many y J employes really prefer to work more V. i ' , than eight hours in order to get the x excess pay, many others, without ques - , . . vtlon. were in perfect good faith in their ' . "y i " demands for the eight-hour day. . Now that the law has been declared -. .v constitutional and is wholly in effect , :, the railroads propose to take advantage : V .'-of every privilege permissible under ; j"'. its provisions. ' Indicative of the policy to bo par- .rued by the railroad managers Is a leading editorial in the current issue , ot the Railway Age-Garette, which is a ' -sort of a quasi-official organ for the . ' . principal railroads. Excess Time to Be Ovt. "While it ta impracticable to put all . 'freight trains on an eight-hour basis," "eaya this editorial, "it is, however. f practicable to adopt at once the policy of applying all reasonable measures which will tend to reduce the number of hours in excess of eight which em ployes in train service are kept on duty. "This policy, although not required by the Adamson law, should be adopted. "The great objection made, first to the demands of the men, and then to the Adamson law, was that their sole purpose seemed to Increase wages un der the guise of reducing hours of work. Many persons who have vigor ously opposed the demands of the men and denounced the passage of the Adamson law have conceded that If a bona fide change in the hours of work Jiad been under consideration the em ployes' movement would have been a much more difficult one fairly and hon estly to oppose."

I told them that we wouldn't stand for talk of that sort, and he heard me say It. I am a Bohemian by birth, but I am an American citizen, and proud of it." Mr. Colenaty declared that Jones had been asked to vacate the booth because he had sought, to sow discord among Frye & Co.'s employes, had hired a butcher away from them, and had writ ten derogatory letters to the head of fices of the company attacking Cole naty.

It was maintained by the defense that the flag was placed above Jones' booth some time after the request to vacate had been made, and that the action of Frye " Co. had no origin In the alleged incident of the flag. Mr. Jones' attitude was branded as an attempt to "hide behind the flag in furthering his own ends." "Was your nose broken?" the court asked the complaining witness.
