The railroads deferred court action gainst the Adamson law until after ection so that no political signifi- lance would be given to the railroad ttorneys’ condemnation of the act. ailroad presidents who were demo- rats believe that sharp criticism of 8 act would have hurt President Vilson, and their republican col- pagues agreed with them that it rould be better to wait until after fov. 7. Again, the rallroads wished p avoid all allegations that their ght against the Adamson law had Iy political motive and was not ed entirely on the merits of the High railroad officials said yes- prday that the fact that the first of e sults was filed while the result of e election was in doubt showed that ere was mo politics in the situation. In the two months since the law as passed many of the highest-pald wyers in the United States have pen studying the law in a search pr something unconstitutional in it. jhe plea of confiscation, it was sald, ould not be effective In a suit ought before the law was put into peration, and so the injunction suits ill be largely based upon the allega- on that the law violates the fifth endment to the constitution in that affects the making of contracts for bor between the railroads and their | ployes, and that it is not a proper gulation of interstate commerce. If e injunction actions fail, suits of an- her nature may be brought after e Adamson law goes into effect on hn. 1. No Arguments for Three Weeks. In most cases it will take about ree weeks for the injunction suits to me up for argument, it is said. is will bring the matter to an issue pout the time of the opening of the ort session of congress. If at that e the democratic leaders show a epositian to modify the law, or ange it in a manner to block the ar- ments of the railroads, it is con- dered probable in some quarters at the injunction suits may be opped. There Temains to be enacted that hrt of the president’s strike settle- ent program favorable to the rail- ads. President Wilson issued a atement at the adjournment of con- ‘ess in which he said that the short ssion would take up the enactment the rest of the program, which in- judes compulsory investigation of sputes and a Tesolution stating that is the consensus of congress that if e operation of the Adamson law im- bses a. hardship on the rallroads e Interstate Commerce Commission ould allow an increase in freight tes. Tt was said by railroad officials psterday that the passage of the rest | the program would have no effect el railroads’ determination to ¢ eight-hour law to the finish, long as it stands 'In its present rm. The Newlands joint congressional pmmittee will begin its work of in- stigating rallroad operation on ov. 20, but it Is sald that the eight- bur fight will be kept independent the inquiry of the Newlands com- littee, before which the railroads i1l make a plea for exclusive federal gulation to replace dual federal and ate regulation. The work of fighting the Adamson w is being directed by the railway ecutives’ advisory committee, which hs offices at 61 Broadway, and of jhich President E. P. Ripley of the nte Fe, which brought suit yester- ¥y, is a member. In the meanwhile the managers’ immittee is going ahead with its brk of planning the operation of the ght-haur law and fixing the changes schedule which the installation of e law will bring about. Should the lvv be declared unconstitutional the brlz of the committee would be tem- arily lald aside, and the dispute @tvcon the four brotherhoods and ¢ railroads would be just where it lhs when President Wilson stepped to the situation last August, icansas City, Mo., Nov. 10.—A pe- jon enjoining the United States di ict attorney and “labor leade: om putting the Adamson eight-hour w into cffect was filed In the United ates district court of Kansas City, late yesterday in the name of Bs., e Atchison, Topelka & Santa Fe rail- | o' % a2t con act if capable of appli- | ad.

Says Inside-bathing makes any- one look and feel clean, sweet and refreshed. Wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- ties into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do. i For every ounce of food and drink | taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be car- ried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts' which should suck only nourishment | to sustain the body. | A splendid health measure is to ! drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of real hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and howels; thus cleansing, sweetening 2nd freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little.at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone 2n enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men wake up with a dull, aching head or have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty constipation are assured of pro- nounced improvement in both heaith and appearance shortly. e e fore; that those wages vary greatly as to different classes of employes and a5 to emploves in the same class, and that the rates of wages on one rail road are different in a great many on other railroads; that Section 3 of cation is a mere arbitrary increase in wages without reference to the ques- tion whether existing wages are high or low, and operates with respect to any class of train service to give the sreatest increase to the employe who new enjoys the highest wages and the lowest increase to the employe who row has the lowest wages.
