E Brotherhood Leaders Decide This as to The Adamson House Measure ROADS CALLING OFF WAR ORDERS Convinced That There Will Be No Strike Senate Will Reach Vote On Question by 6 O'clock This Afternoon. (By Associated Press.) Washington, D. C, September 2. The enactment into law of enough of President Wilson's . program to prevent the railroad strike seemed assured when the Senate reassembled this morning at 10 o'clock, with the prospect of a program which called for a vote not ater than 6 o'clock this evening. It was the belief of administration leaders that the Adamson bill, as it. passed the House late yesterday and as approved by President Wilson and formally accepted by the labor leaders as meeting their demands, would eventually be accepted by the Senate, thus obviating a delay in con ference to reconcile differences with the House. As soon as the bill is finally passed a special messenger will carry it to the summer White House, at Shadow Lawn, so the President may sign it at once and remove the men ace' of a general paralysis of the .country's transportation lines early Monday morning. "Just; as soon as the House bill, un amended, becomes a law' A . B . Gar retson said today, "the-strike order will be recalled." That. was all Mr.. Garretson would says regarding the probable time of calling off the strike. This was the first official statement showing that the House bill was wholly satisfac tory to the brotherhoods. From other sources came the per- 0;0tDnt , ronnrt that arrangements OiObVUV w " - might be perfected whereby the strike . . i would be-caUed off officially before the President actually affixed his sig nature to the bill . f At a meeting of the thirteen broth erhood officials today in Washington it was formally decided.. that cancella tion ot the strike order should not be sent -out, until President Wilson ac tually 4ias: signed the . eight-hour bill. The officials meet again tonight after the' Senate has acted and will decide then : Many amendments to the House'bill - in the Senate would throw the negotia- tlons in the indefinite stage and with that in mind administra ton leaders is sued every effort, as the debate in the Senate progressed, toassure pas sage "of the' House bill in its original form'.
