ROADS TO FIGHT
EIGHT-HOUR DAY
Asserted Law Sought Will
Postpone Trouble, but Won't 1
Settle It
Chicago, 111., Sept. 1. While rail
road officials of the country generally
agreed to-day that passage by Con
gress of the proposed eight-hour bill
would avert.the strike set by the four!
brotherhoods of trainmen for next j
Monday, many were of the opinion!
that the railroads would decline to'
accept the law without a contest in,
the United States Supreme Court.
The plan to-day, as the result of
conferences last night among presi
dents of a number of the leading
roads was that no claim of unconsti
tutionality will be interposed, but
should the measure be enacted it will!
be studied by the railroad lawyers, and
if they deem it davisable they will:
make a test case in the courts.
Prepare For Strike
"If the men accept the measure it'
will probably mean the postponement;
of the strike, was the statement of E.
P. Ripley, president of the Atcheson,
Topeka and Santa Fe. Such action,
however, will mean but a temporary
settlement of present difficulties.
Preparations of the railroads for
operation of trains in the event of a
strike continued to-day notwithstand
ing the proposed legislation at Wash
ington.
Town Council Would
Put Ban on Spooning
Brownsville, Pa.. Sept. I.—The un
romantic council of South Browns
ville has taken action to discourage
"spooning" on the Brownsville bridge.
A request for a policeman to patrol
the bridge has been presented to the
Washington County and Fayette
County Commissioners.
It is complained -by council that
nightly during pleasant weather the
bridge near the center is the mecca
for so many couples that pedestrians
have difficulty in getting passageway.
Dim lights and the ripple of water
from a nearby dam create an atmos
phere of romance, but council doesn't
oare.

"WON'T ADOPT JITNEY
CHANGE WITH MY VOTE"
[Continued From First Page]
voters had affixed their signatures.
City Clerk Charles A. Miller must now
examine the entire petition and be
satisfied that at least 1751 of the
names are legal and regular.
The Procedure
If Council refuses to heed the prayer
of the petitioners, the matter must
then be referred to the people who
must decide the problem at the
polls. Should this procedure, be fol
lowed it will be the first initiative ac
tion attempted in Pennsylvania.
Council, by the provisions of the
Clark act, cannot act on the petition
until ten days after the expiration of
the time limit for signing. City Clerk
Miller said he will have the petition
ready for the commissioners by Tues
day, September 12.
Just what the individual views of
the commissioners are on the subject
to-day could not be learned
because all of them but Mayor
Meals were out of the city. They are
expected home this afternoon or early
evening from Johnstown, however. It
is understood in municipal circles that
the commissioners will decline to
adopt the amendment but will let the
question go before the people.
The Mayor's Position
Mayor Meals discussed his position
freely. , .
'•To my mind 2.925 people do not
represent a majority of the people of
the city and I think this is a matter
for the people to decide. For it should
be borne in mind that the Clark act
provides that if such action is once au
thorized. either by Council in response
to a petition, or by the voice of the
people by their vote—the ordinance
cannot again be changed for two years.
"So it is a matter for the consider
ation of the whole people; if the peo
ple want the change, the people will
say so by their vote and authorize the
change accordingly.
