Oppose»8trike Measure.

Action was delayed in the face of news from Washington indicating more cheerful prospects in the railroad situation. Congressional leaders have In their possession today messages forwarded by three prominent New York organizations opposing "hasty action" to prevent a strike.

RAILROADS TO FIGHT LAW.

Officials Say Measure Will Merely Postpone Settlement, CHICAGO, Sept. 1.—While railroad officials of the country generally agreed today that passage by congress of the proposed eight-hour bill would avert the strike set by the four brotherhoods of trainmen for next Monday many were of the opinion that the railroads would decline to accept the law without a contest in the United States supreme court.

The plan today, as a result of conferences last night among presidents of a number of the leading railroads, was that no claim of unconstitutionality will be interposed, but should the measure be enacted it will be studied by the railroad lawyers, and if they deem it advisable, they will make a test case in the courts. "Our lawyers," said E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, "informally and Individually have expressed the opinion that the Adamson bill, if passed, will crumble at the first legal blast. If the bill passes the president our counsel will confer formally as to legal procedure. It is illogical to assume that the railroads will abandon their principles merely because they are attacked through congress instead of directly by the brotherhoods."

R. H. Aishton, president of the Chicago .and Northwestern, said the railroads Would obey,the law, but that he did not believe it would stand the test of the courts.

The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad was notified today that the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors on the section of that system between Chicago and the Missouri river had voted not to strike.

Prepare for Operations.

Preparations of the railroads for operation of trains in the event of a strike went on today, notwithstanding the proposed legislation at Washington. Employment agencies are busy hiring men for the railroad companies, and advertisements, appeared in newspapers in many cities soliciting applications from experienced engineers, conductors, brakemen, firemen and switchmen.

The embargo on freight announced yesterday by every trunk line in the country was not materially changed today with the exception of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, which modified the embargo on perishable fruit. Instructions went put from the general offices at Topeka, Kas., last night, to accept shipments of perishable merchandise to arrive at its destination later than Sunday. Live stock shipments are expected from the new order.

Food prices in this city, with few exceptions, have not been materially affected as a result of the threatened tieup of the transportation facilities of the countryl

of delays in trips that would run over Monday. Almost at the same time local offices of all railroads were instructed to refuse explosives, inflammables and live stock that could not reach destination prior to September 2 or 3. The Southeastern line ...instructions were clear that no freight would be accepted for transportation over their line after 7 p. m. Saturday.

Passengers Warned.

Thursday, the local Vandalia office received ttye following telegram from Pittsburgh and similar instructions from St. Louis: "Please instruct all passenger and ticket agents by wire at once to notify passengers that unless they can reach their destination by Sunday night, September 3, they may be unable to complete their journey. Similar information ihould be given to all purchasers of Pullman tickets. It is possible that regular schedules may be disarranged and future schedules will be posted from time to time."

At the conclusion of the joint meetings of committees of trainmen, Thijrsdtty, C. M'. Gray, president of the local fireman's brotherhood^ was designated to make public announcements. Mr. Gray said plans had been arranged for conducting the strike with "designated officers" to see that strike orders are enforced. Every mile of the 1,200 miles of yandalia Railroad company track will be covered with an officer and every effort will be made to make the strike a success. The committees which were in session Thursday represented 1,500 men in various classes of train service. There are 500 trainmen alone on the Southeastern line.
