BIG RAILWAY SHE
CALLED OFF SUNDAY
President Wilson (lot Krotner
hoods and Marnier Together
EluHT-HOUR DY IUSIS IS BOND
Conformity la ProvUlon ot the Adam
son Liw wis Basin ol Settlement
The threatened railway strike
has been settled and the wheels
of commerce will move right
along. The managers went into
conference Sunday, after Presi
dent Wilson had met with a tri
une, consisting of the govern
ment, the managers, and the
officiate of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen, Engineers,
Trainmen and Conductors, and
by midnight Sunday they sent
word to the President that they
would accept the eight-hour idea,
us embodied in the Adamson luw,
and paralysis of rail lines all
over the country has been
averted.
The President has been told
that his commission can settle
the trouble -and it is settled.
The eight-hour law has been
accepted, no matter what the
Supreme Court does.
Railway companies had sent to
their Hgetits instructions to ac
cept freight only subject to con
ditions, and with release of in
demnity in case freight was not
moved.
Local offices here received
these orders, and it looked very
black for amicable settlement.
No one really knows just what
happened at the conference engi
npprpd hv the oresident. but it
is presumed that he told the op-;
posing forces that he would
declare a military necessity and.
take over the roads in case the
strike order was issued. This!
was happily set aside by the
companies accepting the eight-
hour idea, arter a month s iruit
less hard work.

Judge Nagley lust week held
that Frank Hess, who worked
for the Third Street mill, was
not entitled to compensation
from the State Industrial Acci
dent Commission. The Court
held that the abscess on which

was tiled, and the court held that
the appeal of Hess was not well
taken.

ing of the unprofitable ones.
The good work of this associa
tion has become so successful
that many other farmers wish to
join, and have the dairyman's
opportunity of learning which
are his good and bad cows; also

ing. There is a movement a foot
