New York, March 19.—With the na- tion-wide railroad strike averted and the . Adamson law declared constitu- tional, the bitter controversy which has raged between th& railroads and their employes for nearly a year over the question of hours and wages to- day passed into history. Appealed to by the president’s me- diators to yield on the grounds of patriotism to the demands of the em- ployes, the railroads just before da; break today consented to an asree- ment whereby the employes receive the eight hour basic worn day and pro rata pay for overtime, the same as that provided by the Adamson law. Several hours later the United States supreme court upheld the <onstitu- tionality of the Adamson act and what the brotherhoods had already obtained by their threat to call a nation-wide strike at seven ofclock tomight, the supreme court legally assured to them by its decree. All that remains is to decide how much back pay the employes are en- titled to, inasmuch as the agreement signed by both sides and the Adam- son law provides that the operation of the new wage and hour schedule, shall be retroactive beginning January 1. The brotherhoods and the railroad managers will get tozether on this matter tomorrow to decide how it will be computed. It is roughly estimated that between $12,090,000 and $13,000,- 000 is due the employes. - The brotherhood chiefs were happy today as they dispatched their code telegrams calling off the strike. They had not won all they had asked from the railroads when they first presented their demands on March 30, 1916, hav- ing the time and a half for overtime feature, but they had obtained what they agreed to take last August when they accepted the Adamson law’s pro- visions and which the railroads fought in_the courts. W. G. Lee, spokesman for the broth- erhoods, made it plain today that he looked for peace in the railroad world for a long time. Asked whether there was any intention to bring up in the conferences tomorrow the question of punitive overtimes, Mr. Lee said: “That will not be broughnt up now. We believe that overtime can largely be done away with by speeding up the schedules.” Franklin K. Lane, seeretary of the interior, William B. Wilson, secretary of labor; Daniel Willard and Samuel Gompers, the mediators of the council of nation defense, who brought the controversy to an end after forty- eight hours of almost incessant effort, returned to Washington this after- noon. Mr. Lane, in a statement ex- pressing the satisfaction of his com- mittee over the outcome, praised the railroad managers “for their high sense of obligation and their unwilling- ness to permit any embarrassment to the country at this time of extreme strain.” GERARD SAYS UNITED STATES ISIN AN “UNPLEASANT POSITION" Ore Great Problem Enemy Popu'c New York, March Gerard, former ambassador to Ger- many, in én address before the Now York chamber of commerce today, urged his hearers to go forth as mis- sioraries of preparedne:s. He said he favored preparedness wvecause he be- lieved that usniversal mlitary eerv. as practiced in Germany, was the best training and_discipline for a nation. The United States, he said, was just now in "an uapleasant position and un- prepared for what might come.” “It is only when the military are given abundart contra " he continued, “that there is any daiger from mili- tarism, and there is no need to fear militariem where equa: opportunity is afforded. This opporfunity can be found only in a civilian government.” Mr. Gerard predicted that if war should come, the Uni*:d States would be faced with a great problem in deal- ilg with “our alien eremy popula- tion.” “The question is,” re said, “shall we intern them, as wis done in Ger- many, or shall we allow thenf to roam at large, des‘roying bridges or any- thirg else they can? HOME FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF B. & O. EMPLOYES Is Provided For in Will of Former ° President Oscar G. Murray. Baltimore, March 19.—The bulk of the fortune of nearly a.million dolars left by the late Oscar G. Murray, a former president and chairman of the board of directors of the Baltimore Ib Ohio railroad, is to be set aside to found a home for widows and orphans of employes of that road.

At the close of 1916, 245,072 boys and men were registered as scouts .and scout officials, as compared with 181,- 522, on December 31, 1915. CZ these 54,345 were adalts. TO ENSURE GOVERNMENT EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION Telephone and Telegraph Men Conference With Federal Officials ‘Washington, March 19.—Telephone and telegraph officials had a confer- ence today with various government cfficials to perfect plans to insure the government efficient communications in event of war. Secretary Baker thanked the wire company heads for what they already had done toward assuring the gov- ernment service in war time. Theodore N. Vail of the American Telephone and Telegraph company told the nationa] defence council that the country now is equipped with wire facilities necessary to meet any emer- gency. “We are co-operating with the coun- cil of national defense to the best of our ability,” he said, “and stand ready to do anything and evervthing that the army and navy or other govern- ment departments may require of us to aid in the national defense.” Hartford.—State Attorney Hugh M Alcorn, at Hartford, believes that the police have given out too much infor- mation in the Taft murder case and has ordered that no more information be given out concernin the investiga- tion.
