EIGHT-HOUR LAW MEANS WHAT IT SAYS
Declares President Wilson, and He Is Ready to Meet Hughes On Issue.
LONG BRANCH, N. J., Sept. 15.President Wilson decided today to take advantage of the earliest possible opportunity to challenge the statement made by Charles E. Hughes in recent speeches that the basis on which the recently threatened railroad strike was averted was merely an increase ot wages for the employes.
The president, his political advisers said today, considers the principle of the eight-hour day vitally affected by the strike settlement and will show that while the railroad legislation, passed by congress to meet the situation will give the employes at least a temporary increase in pay, the most important point is that it establishes the eight-hour day as the basis of work for railroad workmen.
The president will make known his views either in a speech at Shadow Lawn or in a letter. Democratic leaders expect the republicans to continue their efforts to make the strike settlement an issue, and it was said today that Mr. Wilson will welcome such an argument.
Mr. Wilson expects to make clear that he will not be satisfied until congress enacts into the law the rest of the railroad legislation he recommended when the strike was threatened, including an increase in interstate commerce commission and a measure for an investigation of controversies between railways and their employes before strikes or lockouts are called.
The president has already begun the work of selecting the board to investigate the operation of the eight-hour day on railroads. He will seek, it was said, to appoint a board which will have the fullest confidence of the railways, the employes, and the public.
BURGLARS LOOT TROUSERS.
Get Money and Watch in Raids on Two Homes. The absence of their trousers wnen they arose Friday morning revealed to W. H. Norris, 208 South JNlnth Ftreet, and W. H. Daugherty and Edward B. Laughead, 621 Cherry street, that their homes had been entered Thursday night. With the trousers of Norris went $1.60 and an Elgin gold watch, while Daugherty's trousers contained $20 and some papers.
After policemen had gone to the homes for investigation the missing trousers were found in each home, stuffed behind a radiator, but minus the valuables they had contained. The police believe the robberies to be the work of the same man.
At the same time, C. H. Locke, of the Greenwood Coal and Supply company, reported that the company's bairn, at Second and Voorhees streets, had been entered and a set of harness stolen.

familiar with the border situation that r.o solution can be found that Is not based upon the establishment and a maintenance of a stable government in Mexico.
There is no doubt that one of the purposes of the Washington administration is to arouse Mexico to the moral obligation that it is felt rests upon her to protect American interests along the international line from depredations of Mexican bandits. For this reason it seems unlikely that any plan for policing the border will prove acceptable that seems to relieve her of that responsibility.
BOTH SIDES MARK TIME.
Miners and Operators Wait Result df Strike Order. Both the miners and mine operators appeared to be in the position Friday morning of awaiting overtures from the other side which would avert the strike of all coal miners in the Vandalia Coal company mines ordered for Saturday.
The strike order calling out 3,000 men on all properties of the Vandalia company and those leased from the Monon company was issued Tuesday by President Edward Stewart of District No. 11, United Mine Workers. The strike order resulted from a failure to adjust with the operators a controversy over the use of an electric safety lamp in Dugger, Ind., mine No. 10.
The Dugger miners are standing pat on their refusal to use the lamp, and the officidls of the Vandalia Coal company say the mine will not be operated unless the lamp is used.
