losses were very heavy.
In Champagne, a Russian contin

adopt the eight hour bill by six
o'clock tonight It Is not believed
the senate will amend the boose

in Washington enrouto to Hodge

spent a few minutes this after
noon In the interstate commerce
committee room. An forenoon
Garretson remained hidden. He
looked worn and unstrung.
The thirteen remaining district
llrothorhooi chairmen met this
afternoon. They derided to ean
eel the strike order only when
the eight hour bill becomes a

ruled that the bill becomes a law
after Wilson signs It. Another
