WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 Attorney Cieneral Gregory has decided that snltH by railroads against the enforce anont of the Adamson eight-hour lnw vill be defended by the department of justice. The defense to he presented in each case will be worked out be tween Solicitor General Davis' and other department officials with Unit ed States attorneys in various juris dictions. The department was unable to de termine whether It would be neces sary to defend each of the niany suits already begun or whether the rail roads would consent to make a test case of one suit. No word has reached the attorney general from the rail roads suggesting such course and If such a proposal Is not made, em suit will be defended. ; Ask Suspension. Reports that railroad and brother hood officials had considered a sug gestion that Mr. Gregory be asked to 1 suspend operation of tho Adamson law lor 30 days were met with the statement that the attorney general has no such authority and that his only course is to defend the suits or let them go by default.. Department officials In charge of the defense stated today that no of fers had been made by the attorney general for making a tost case of any particular suit. ' It was pointed out that the granting or refusal of o temporary restraining order by one federal judge would have no binding effect in law upon any other judge of equal rank nnd that at best, Us force would be only argumentative. It was said also that the department had no reason to believe that each railroad may not prefer to fight its suit In the hope that It, at least, will be successful. Hill Constitution!!!. When first hearings have been set - In widely separated jurisdiction for the same day, the department has jO asked and probably will continue to ask postponements. Under the pres ent plan, Assistant Attorney General Underwood will bo In charge of the rases In which thoy come up and will endeavor to appear In every case. So far as tho department has knowledge, the railroad suits are much alike, be ing requests for temporary restrain ing ordors to be mado permanent by the courts if showing Is made to jus tify it. on the ground that the Adam son law is unconstitutional and Im possible of performance. The principal defense will be that it is constitutional and that congress did not exceed its powers in enacting it. More Suits Filed. The New York Central railroad to 'Vjy filed suit In the federal district court to test the constitutionality of the Adamson eight-hour law. The suit is directed against the three federal district attorneys of New York state and the chairmen of each of tho four brotherhoods in the state. The road's principal contention Ih, according to Albert H. Harris, gen ii eral counsel, that the Adamson law "Is in no sense a regulator of com merce, but a temporary and arbitrary increase in wages for the brother hood men."

Tilden hail a popular ma jority or more than Tin, nun over Ruth-! erford II. Hayes. He had a claimed majority of one in the electoral col lege on the face of the returns. When congress got through with the case.1 Tilden was in the discard and Hayes was given the presidency. Duplicate returns were sent hi from veral states. That was the basis of the contest. There were two certifi cates ol election for two sets of elec tors from the slutes of Florida. Ore gon, Louisiana and South Curollnii. Fraud was charged on both sides, but the republicans used the army In the southern states, together with repub lican election commissioners to du plicate the certificates of election. In Louisiana the condition was almost anarchy. There were two governors, two returning boards, two sets of re turns showing different results and two electoral colleges. In Oregon the democratic governor adjudged one of the republican electors Ineligible and gave a certificate to the highest can didate on the democratic 'list. The re publican electors, having no certifi cate from the governor, nevertheless met and. voted for Hayes. In Flurhhi one set of credentials was furnished by the election commissioners and the other by u court decision. i Appoint Special Commission. j When the returns came before con gress to canvass as provided hy the constitution, the depulleate returns were rejected, and a special commis sion was appointed, to deride the is sues involved. The commission acted along partisan lines and counted the republican votes in all four slates, giving the election to Hayes. In the present election it has been suggested that a contest In California might result in one set of returns eer Hfieil by the governor and another Hot certified by some court nctlon bas ed on charges of miscount or fraud. This might also happen in others of the close states. With duplicate returns before Ihnm congress, as the revising board, might deride to reject the returns from the doubtful stales, In which case the election would bo thrown Into the house of reproscnta- 1 1 Vt'S, Republican .Majority.
