NO STRIKE ON MON DAY
EIGHT HOUR BILL PASSES SENATE
STRIKE ORDER TO BE CANCELLED
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—In the
event of the eight hour bill being
passed by the senate today, there will
be no strike on Monday.
Through A. B. Garretson, president
o fthe conductor's organization, the
railroad brotherhoods announced this
afternoon that the order to strike Mon
day will be immediately cancelled in
the event of the senate passing favor
ably on the Adamson bill.
Although the measure is being at
tacked with considerable severity by
some of the opposing senators its pas
sage is considered as absolutely cer
tain. During the course of his argu
ment on the bill this morning Sena
tor Sherman, of Illinois, charged that
the railway brotherhoods had coerced
congress into the passage of legisla
tion favorable to their own side of
the controversy. The Illinois senator
declared that the Adamson bill was
inspired by nothing else than fear of
the action that might be taken by the
brotherhoods. Several others also de
nounced the attitude of congress but
despite all the bitter raking that it
received from the railroad support
ers, the measure is never the less ex
pected to pass by a large majority.
Before his departure with Mrs. Wil
son for Shadow Lawn, yesterday, the,
president stated to the newspapermen
that he was confident the bill will se
cure the approval of the senate.
In the event of passage by the up
per house, the measure will be deliv
ered to the president at his country
residence by special messenger and he
will sign it immdiately.
It is announced that Ollie James,
the noted Kentucky statesman, has
been selected to deliver the official
notification of his nomination to Wil
son at Shadow Lawn today.

GAME SEASON NOW OPEN.
As the restrictions on game shooting
were lifted yesterday, tomorrow will
probably see a general exodus of the
shot gun experts to the bills.
l’i*fsons arriving from the east Coast
sections report that the game is very
plentiful in the section between here
and Solomon. It is remarked, however,
that the ptarmigan are scarcer in the
hills than at any time for years. A
number of tnushers from the interior
state that hardly a ptarmigan was seen
J during lho course of a long journey.
No one seems to possess an under
standing as to the reason for the
scarcity, beyond that the birds seem
to disappear every few years only to
return again the following season in
great numbers.
