Blli STRIKE IS AVERTED.
_
EIGHT-HOUR LAW EXACTED BY
fi CONGRESS.
(II0V
Upon Insistence of President Wilson,
Congress Takes Action to Prevent
Tie-up of Railroads.
_____
1
Washington, Sept. 2.?The threat
of a general railroad strike, which
has been hanging like a pall over the
country for nearly a month, was
lifted tonight.
Three hours after the senate had
passed without amendment the
I Adamson eight hour day bill, passed
by the house yesterday, the heads of
the four great railroad employes'
brotherhoods telegraphed 600 odd
code messages to their general chairmen
in all parts of the country cancelling
the strike order issued a
?V week ago to take effect next Monday
morning at 7 o'clock.
The legislative expedient to avert
the strike was passed in the senate
by a vote of 43 to 28?almost a
strict party vote?amid stirring
fk ' scenes, after many senators, Democrats
and Republicans, had fought
desperately to amend the measure by
j||: ; > * provisions designed to prevent industrial
disasters in the future.
I Some senators, thoroughly aroused,
declared congress was being coerced
into enactment of legislation that it
did not desire and that it knew
would return to plague it in the future.
In both houses the measure was
signed within a few minutes after
the final vote in the senate and it was
sent at once to the white house,
where President Wilson will sign it
at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning after
S . his return from Shadow Lawn. Officials
of the brotherhoods who witnessed
the final passage of the bill
had announced early in the night
that cancellation of the strike would
fe.-. not be ordered until the bill had been
signed by the president and actually
. had become law. But later they con^
ferred, changed their minds and
flashed the code messages signaling
to the waiting trainmen of the country
through their chairmen the mesfe
- sage that a satisfactory settlement
> had been secured.
S. y The bill that stopped the strike
provides that after January 1, 1917.
p; \ . eight hours shall be regarded as a
V * basis of reckoning for a day's pay
for men engaged in the operation oi
railroad trains in inter-State commarfta
(ovnontinor rnaHo Iocq than 1 Of]

miles long and electric lines), thai
they shall receive pro rata pay foi
work in excess of eight hours and
that their rate of compensation shall
not be changed pending an investigation
for from six to nine months oJ
the effect of the eight hour day railroads
by a commission to be appointed
by the president.
Underwood Fight Fails.
Efforts to amend the bill in the
senate were futile, the supreme efforl
to alter it having been led by Senator
Underwood, who sought to provide
that the inter-State commerce
* commission should have power to fix
raiiroaa wages ana nours or service
in the future. This amendment was
defeated by a vote of 57 to 14.
Only two Democratic senators
Hardwick, of Georgia, and Clarke, oi
Arkansas, voted against the bill, and
one Republican?La Follette, of Wisconsin?for
it.
^
Blue Jay Stopped Scrap.
* A black hen, a game rooster and a
guinea hen on the farm of Samuel
Dodd, near the Passaic county line,
* discovered
and fought for nearly an
hour yesterday over a good sized rat
which had been crippled by the rooster.
Each bird asserted its claim to the
prize in the best way it could. When
the fight was tiring the combatants
along came a blue jay, which settled
the ownership by picking up the rat
and flying into a corn crib.
The farm hands and others who
had watched the battle asserted that
the blue jay's trick entitled the bird
to all the honors that have been
S&r
heaped upon the species.?Brookdale

CROP OF 11,800,000 BALES.
!
Condition of Plant on August 25th 1
61.2.
Washington, August 31.?Further
, deterioration of the growing cotton ?
i z
crop during August has reduced the) j.
estimated final production to 11,800,- '
000 bales. That forecast of produc- t
; tion was made today by the depart- j
ment of agriculture, basing its cali
culations on the condition of the
i crop on August 25.
That compares with 12,916,000 j
bales forecast from July 25 condition t
reports, and 14,266,000 bales fore-j..
cast from conditions existing June | ^
25. Last year's production was 11,191,820
bales, two years ago
16,134,930, three years ago 14,156,- ^
486, and four years ago 13,703,421. .
During July heavy storms caused f
damage to the crop, causing a loss *
in production calculated at 1,350,000
bales. f
Weather conditions during August t
were not the best for cotton. In par's t
of the belt there was too much rain j.
and in others the weather was too t
hot and dry, and there was a lack of ^
rainfall. Toward the end of the pe- y
riod there was some improvement in
and nnrthwMtpm districts.

but the crop was in a very unsatisfactory
condition in practically all s
of the gulf States. Excessive heat j
was making rapid progress difficult a
' in pfcking in Arkansas, although this r
work was making satisfactory prog- s
ress in the remainder of the cotton a
i States. % j

"Much of the crop in southern Mississippi

* rain and weevil damage, will require
- from ten to 20 acres of land to pro
duce a bale of cotton. In the Caro
linas and Georgia hot sunshine fol
lowing the July rain on the sappy

' "Lack of fertilizer, which was
5 leached from the soil by the July

THIS SNAKE IS TALENTED.
t Can I>o Grapevine Twists and Blow
Itself Up.
Keeper Charley Snyder, of the
nake house up at the Bronx Park
oo, got a new bunch yesterday for
lis old scheme of crossing the hoop
nake with the puff adder, and there>y
turning out a constant supply of
iving tires for automobiles.
For the first time in the experience
of even the noted snake expert
the Bronx Park reptile house, Dr.
taymond Ditmars, a snake came to
he park yesterday which can blow
tself up like a Wall street bull mar:et.
The snake was sent to the zoo by
, party of naturalists now in South
imerica looking up specimens for

our feet long and normally not fater
than a broom handle.
The minute that sightseers stop in
ront of its glass house it first seems
0 become obsessed with the notion
hat it is another Charlotte of the
lippodrome ice ballet and begins to
hrow itself into grapevine twists,
igure eights and capital S's. There
/ere hopes that it could also write
ts name with itself, but this feat
eemed beyond it.
When it takes a deep breath or
omething, however, is the time that
ts great mental and physical gifts
ire displayed at their best. One monent
the crowd yesterday saw a
make an inch or less in diameter
tnd the next moment it was a Zep>elin.
All four feet of snake begin to
iwell until the body measures from
hree to four inches in diameter from
lead to steering gear. The snake
vill remain inflated for some time
;hen, or until it reaches a decision
hat enough is enough. Thereupon
t collapses with the suddenness and
general hullabaloon of an automo)ile

Mexico's New Army.
The Mexican army of today is as
lifferent from that of the time when
Porfirio Diaz thought he had 32,000
soldiers and woke to find barely 14,)00,
as is the German army that
wept through Belgium different from
)ur handful of 50,000 down in Texas,
vri+oa itnrrv it. Dunn in Cartoons
Magazine. Six years ago the Mexican
irmy was composed of the riffraff of
Mexico, convicts, political prisoners,
Irab slaves, who served because they
>wed money to some friend of the
government, or wretches who had
lad the misfortune to marry women
vhose beauty attracted the eye of
>ome other friend of those in power.
[Jnlike the "rurales," who having
peen bandits and highwaymen, still
preserved their air of freedom and
ndependence because they had been
>ought and not enslaved, the regular
irmy of the Diaz administration was
lerded to its work as the Russians
vere driven into battle at Port Ar:hur,
or bound, as Guatemalan solliers
are chained to their barracks
est they flee. ,
Today the Mexican army is composed
of free men, most of them banlits,
it is true, many of them murlerers,
few of them to be trusted out
)f sight of their commanding officers,
put all fighting because they want to
ight, not because they have to fight.
\.nd those who judge the coming opposition
of the Mexican army of 1916
)y that which the forces of Santa
\nna put up nearly seventy years
igo are as mistaken as those who
vould attempt to compare the Arnada
with the British North sea fleet.
Where His Faith Broke Down.
"The late Bishop Hare," said a
Sioux Falls physician, according to
;he Living Church, "used, very reasonably,
to impute scepticism to mismderstanding.
"He once told me about a Philalelphia
business man of sceptical
;endencies, who said to him:
" 'My dear Mr. Hare, I do not refuse
to believe in the story of the
irk. I can accept the ark's enornous
size, its. odd shape, and the
fast number of animals it contained,
but when I am asked, my dear doc;or,
to believe that the children of
[srael carried this unwieldly thing
for fortj* years in the wilderness?
well, there I'm bound to say, my
faith breaks down.' "
