Measure is Favorably Reported in Senate and Although Opposition Will be Strong Republicans Promise Not to Filibuster to Delay Action on Legislation.
Internt tiotial News Service: WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. Passim nf the di;ht-luair bill designed to prevent a strike on the nation's railroads was considered certain this afternoon. The enate at 2:U) laid aside all other business and Sen. Neulands, a chairman ut the interstate commerce committee, called up the revised bill previously agreed upon by his committee. It was then the intention ot the senate io remain in continuous session until the measure came to a vote. The republican members had frankly disavowed any intention of filibustering on the measure, but because of the elästicitv of the rules of the senate, no one cared to forecast when a vote would be reached. The meas.ire, however, was certain to pass. Roll Call at 4:30. When the senate took up the bill the house ha J its measure well advanced and was scheduled to begin a roll call n tinal passage at 4 :H). The revised democratic strike bill provides for an eiht-Iiour day and a temporary wa'Nre commission and y;ives the interstate commerce commission complete authority over hours of work and pay.
(iocs to Capitol. Pres't Wilson went to tlie capitol at 1 : 1 ä to ronfer with the members of tho senate interstate commerce committee and the senate and house leaders to expedite? the passage of the ei;;ht-our law for r;iilroads which will re sult in the liiotherhood leaders calling off the proposed strike. The president ured the senate ami hose bailors to t together ;ind set the bill through both houses today, if possible. He u.us understood to be confident that the proposed measure will be a law by tomorrow ni;;ht. When the president reached the capitol he found that none of the IcadeiH were there so he went directly to the senate ollice building where most of the democratic, senators were. The president went to the room of Chairman Xevvlands of the interstate commerce committee; and took up with him and other members of that committee the draft of the bill which already has bee.ii introduced in the house and which is to po through that body under a special rule which calls for a vote commencinir at 4:.'h p. m. Two Measures Identical. It is the desire of the president, officials say, th.it the lanuuae of the two meiLsures shall be identical so that if one house ats ahead of the otho the measure as parsed can be substituted for that under consideration thus expediting matters. The president was with Sen. Newlands an 1 the other committee inem1 er.s for 0 minutes and then returned 1o his otliee in the capitol proper to continue his. conferences with :-en. Kern and the other leaders. The l.einty of the morning led the president to dismiss his chauffeur and to stroll across the front of the eapitol erounds on lus way from the seriate- olhco building to the senate v in;; jf the rnrun structure. Pn route he was stopped by Mr. and Mrs J. I. Flamin;' ot Pouhbr. Polo., who tedd him that they we re distant "kin folk" of Mrs. Wilson. This seemed t please the president immensely and lie e hatted with them for a few minutes, telling them that Mrs. Wilson had just, ic.-ivt'd some bead werk from Colorado Indian.which traces Pack to purahontas.

tuip finrnR i mo fir I Lilly present, wauus -hall be puid unJ';r the shorter work day with pro rata compvMi-ation for overtime. The .supreme court, the railroads -av. hits in three decisions reee-ntly held that congress has no jtower to ti waives. However, it is unlikely that the rui!roads will uiia- tlieir objection at this time preferrincr to wait until fter t onm'ess comide tc. m-j program to see what, tlie outcome v ill ho. In any event, it i- pointed out that the d ate' to make- effective the proposed change- will be either Dec ember or- J. nuarv hist next and by tliat time .--oniire-ss will be back on the job. the campaign will be over ith. and it will have time to work ru; a , c-ral plan to prevent strike; or loekouts on public utilities. It is admitted by both democratic and republican congressional lea.lers that the experiences of t he l.usi few day; have brought home direetly to the American tieojd"k the elanpers whie li a Re-ne rttl r-iilroail strike present and that some plan will have to be evolved which will make Xi renewal e.f the present crisis impossible. It is expeoteei that eventually legislation whi be drafted which will prevent such a .situation and it is likely that betwe-en now and the opening the ne-xt s. s.-ion of congress in December the interstate e-ommerce e-oinmission will endeavor to evolve a plan which can be passed on to oonyresis.
