EASTERN ROADS WARY f
OF 8-H0UR LAW FIGHT
No
Drastic Action Planned
Board of Managers in
Now York
by
There Is 1 ttle probability that the rail
roads of the East will take tho stand
adopted by the Santa Fe and other western
railroads, which have announced that they
would defy the eight-hour law recently
passed by Congress.
Although the olght-hour law Is being
threshed out today at a meeting of the
boardH of managers of the eastern roads. It
Is understood that no drastic action Is con
templated. In a statement expressing his defiance of
,the eight-hour law. President Itlpley, of the
Santa Fo road. Bald: "We do not question
the right of Congress to fix an eight-hour
day, but we do question Its right to take
our money and give It to some ono else.
That Is what tho Adamson bill amounted
to when the clause awarding ten hours'
pay for eight hours' work was Included."
The board of directors of the Pennsyl
vania Ilallroad will meet next Wednesday,
but there ls every Indication that It will
proceed conservatively regarding the eight
hour law. It Is known that some of the
Pennsylvania officials regard the Western
men as being somewhat "hot-headed."
It Is pointed out by those who oppose
drastic action that the Adamson hill carries
Its own punishment for violation of It
provisions.
VILLA REPORTS ALARM
RBEDIATI0N CONFEREES
News That Bandit Has Taken
y Offensive Causes Delay in
Deliberations
NEW LONDON, Conn., Sept. 8. Facing
news complications caused by the reported
presence of Villa ln the State ot Chihuahua,
the American-Mexican Commissioners to
day got down to consideration of the first
of the problems confronting them the with
drawal of the Pershing expedition.
The commission gave some credence to
the report of the renewed activities of Villa.
This fact, with the reputed newk orders to
General Pershing to ''get Vlllo," caused
no little concern and pointed to a delay
In settling the question of withdrawal.
There has bee.n no rescinding of the orders
Issued by General Carranxa to attack the
American column It It moves In any di
rection save toward the border, it was ad
mitted. Until the present concern over Villa Is
relieved there Is little likelihood of a de
cisive recommendation for withdrawing the
Pershing column.
This unforeseen development forced the
commissioners to spend moat of their time
today ln discussion of the general situation.
It was hinted that an agreement In tenta
tive form might be reached shortly for sub
mission to the Mexico City and Washington
Governments solely on the troops nuestfon.
Ratification by the American Government
under the circumstances would, of course,
be withheld until it was deemed altogether
advisable to bring back the punitive expedi
tion with VillBj dead or alive, or with tho
assurance that his capture was Impossible.

of Dllworth on his fatal ride Into the park,
was summoned to the District' Attorney's
office. She was again questioned 4y Assise

turned to the newly discovered witnesses.
These witnesses ore a young man and
young woman, who told Qulgley they were
In the park, near the Bcene of the shooting
wheivDllworth was killed. An anonymous
letter from another woman gave the police
their first clue. This letter told of the
woman having heard the witness, who was
questioned, say she saw the shooting. Tho
writer of the letter was first found and
questioned. Then the young woman she
