THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1916.

TRAINMEN ALL SAY
THEY HAVE ORDERS
Know They Are to Strike Even
if Leaden Are Not Allowed
to Notify Them.
OBEY BULES OF THE ORDER
' . Union Pacific brotherhood official!
now maintaining headquartera in
Omaha, ay they feel ure the injunc
tion order of Judge Seara, restraining
the officials of the railway conductors
of the Union Pacific from promulgat
mg or circulating the strike order for
Monday, will be set aside Saturday
morning, when the hearing is to be
held in district court
Th officials of the conductors art
si km on the matter, as the injunc
tinfi orders them to be.
"How do you do; sorry, I can't
talk," said Charles H. Friday of Chey-
' enne, and he sat back in his chair ana
read the morning papers, obeying the
injunction order strictly, not to
"promulgate" in any way. He ia
chairman of the conductors, and the
injunction is talking directly to him,
Smith More Talkative.
D. VI. Smith of Council Bluffs,
central chairman of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen & Engineers
of the Union Pacific, was more talka-
tice. There is no court restraint on
his tongue.
"I am satisfied there will be no dif.
ficulty in getting that injunction set
aside tomorrow morning," he said,
"when the chance is offered the con
ductors to be heard and to show that
they have complied with the rules of
the order strictly.
"All the restraining order does any
way ia to tie the hands of the chair
man and committee to prevent them
from getting information to the men
officially as to a strike order. It in
no wav restrains the men from quit
ting their jobs. And the men have
known all about the strike order for
some time, anyway.
Drawn by Railroad.
Commenting further on the injunc
tion feature, Mr. Smith said: "This
petition of the conductor, Hamilton,
asking for the injunction did not
originate with him. I have informa
tion that it was drawn up by the rail
road. Of course, he was asked to
sign it and he did. There are always
a few fellows at time like this who
will do a thing of this kind to curry
favor. -i . ',. ',
"I know, too, that another railroad
here prepared a petition of this kind
and asked some of the men to sign it,
seeking to get out an injunction also,
1 know the men who were asked to
sign it."
Charles Bogue , of North Platte,
general chairman of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, said:
"You can depend on it that the men
are all notified now, and unless the
order is changed they are to go out
at 6 O'clock Monday morning.
' All Have Orders.
In reply td the statement that many
of the railway men, engineers, brake-,
men and conductors interviewed by
The Bee Thursday, claimed to. have
received no personal order to strike,
Mr. Smith said: "Well, yoif under
stand there are a lot of men, and it
is always conceivable that some of
them had not yet received the order
personally."
Chairman Bogue of the Union Pa
cific trainmen said he felt confident
that the house and senate would stand
behind the president in the passage
of the eight-hour law now pending.
Digressing a little and dipping into
the arguments in this case, Mr. Bogue
aid, "At first the railroads declared
it would cost them $100,000,000 to
put the eight-hour day into effect,
when the railroad officials got to
Washington, however, where they
knew the records of cost of operation
could be found in the files of the In
terstate Commerce commission, they
cut it down $50,000,000. Later, Ripley
in Chicago has raised it $10,000,000
again, and puts it at $60,000,000."
Here Smith of the firemen and en
gineers broke in aeain:
"There are eighteen .oads in the
United States now operating under
an eight-hour day. Not one of those
vroads ia in the hands if a receiver.
i There are a number of other roads,
however, operating under a ten-hour
- day that are in the hands of a receiver.
i And it'a not on account of the num-
S ber of hours the men work, but due
I to th financial manipulations of the
owner in Wall atreet."

designated by the government to act
for all British publications in that
area. Nevertheless, his dispatches
are subject not only to the Greek cen
sorship, but to the French military
censorship, which controls all lines
of communication from Athens. The
fact that both censorships, as well as
the British . censorship in London,
have permitted this dispatch to come
through is significant.
On Tuesday Mr, Price sent from
Saloniki a report that King Constan
tine had fled from Athens to Larissa. I

HOUSE PASSES 8
HOUR DAY BILL;
BEFORE SENATE
fenMBM4 trim rt Oee.)
onment not exceeding one year,
both.
Senator Reed declared that if the
provision to give authority to the In
terstate Commerce commission to fix
wages and hours of service were not
abandoned, the bill could not be pass
ed in time to avert the strike. To
pass the nroviiion. he said, would.
stead of stopping the strike, absolutely
force it.
Under a special rule providing for
a vote not later than 4:JU this after
noon, the house took up the Adamson
eight-hour day bill approved by Pres
ident Wilson and accepted by broth
erhood leaders as a "satisfactory set
tlement." -
The senate interestate commerce
committee reported a similar bill,
which, however, contains an impor
tant provision empowering the Inter
state Commerce commission to fix
schedules of wages on interstate
railways. It provides that the eight
hour day shall become effective Jan
uary 1, 1917; that the present pay for
the ten-hour day shall apply to the
shorter day; that overtime shall be
jfaid pro rata, but adds that within not
less than six and not more than
twelve months after its passage the
Interstate . Commerce commission
shall assume jurisdiction of the ques
tion or hours and wages and that they
shall be subject to petition for change
trom either tne employers, ine em
ployes and the public.
Text of New Section.
The text of that provision follows:
"That the Interstate Commerce
commission shall have the power to
fix the hours of labor and prescribe
just and reasonable wages for all
employes of the railroads. The rate
of wages and the hours of labor pro
vided for in this 'act shall remain
fixed for service and pay until
changed by the decision of the In
terstate Commerce commission, which
within a period of not less than six
or more than twelve montha from
the passage of this act shall deter
mine what are just and reasonable
wages and what; snail be the hours
of labor for employes of the railroads
above mentioned.. '
"The Interstate Commerce commis
sion shall have the power from time
to time to change the hours of labor
and the rate of wages for all em
ployes of the railroads
either in whole or in part, prescribed
by it on its own initiative on the pe
tition of the employes, the managers
of the railroads or the public."
The possibility for a hitch seemed
to be in this added provision which
is being studied by the brotherhood
leaders.
Freight Raise Eliminated.
The committee eliminated the pro
posal that on the report of the eight
hour day Commission the Interstate
Commerce commission shall consider
an increase of freight rates to meet
such additional expenditures by tne
railroads affected as mav have been
rendered necssary by the adoption of
Neither ot the two pending bills
contain the Canadian commission plan
which the labor leadera oppose, and
neither contains the government oper
ation provision, President Wilson is
willing to let those feasures wait until
after enough legislation to avert the
strike has been enacted. Republicans
decided today to frame a bill of their
own and offer it as a substitute for
the administration plan. A commit
tee was appointed to draft it. No
serious opposition to the administra
tion plan was expected, however.
President Wilson told members of
his cabinet at today's meeting that
there was every prospect that the leg
islation would be passed by both
houses of congress before tomorrow
night.
Bill Reported to House.
The Adamson bill was favorably
reported by the house interstate com
merce committee, which amended it
tn make the eieht-hour provisions er
fective January 1, next, instead of
December 1, and so as to exempt elec
tric railways.
The bill was immediately reported
to the house, which met at 11 o clock.
Meantime the rules committee held a
meeting and, wlthou; any changes,
favorably reported the Kitchin rule

Democratic Leader Kitchin called
up the Adamson bill soon after the

"I ask unanimous consent for its
immediate consideration," said he.
"I object,' said Republican Leader
Mann.
' Debate on Rule Begins.
Representative Harrison, democrat,

Representative Cooner of Ohio, re
publican, denied that labor was hold

charged.
Representatives Caldwell of New

California, democrats, urged a strong
vote in favor of the bill.

"When any body of men holds up
congress ana threatens a net
amity, he said, "it is time for us to
fix the responsibility for the act on
those men rather than virlrl tn them
under duress." .
Representative Cooper, republican,
of Ohio told the house that for
twenty years he had worked in the
engine cab and knew from personal
experience what railroad conditions
were.
"The men are justified," he said, "in
asking their employers for better
hours. The proposed legislation pro
vides the only way to avert the strike
set for Monday."
"When you say the employes have
held up congress and conspired for
this legislation vou sav what is ab

Taggart, democrat, of Kansas.

Warnich has had trouble with his
family and his wife sued for divorce,
which was granted. Warnich and his
wife have been remarried and at this
