BROTHERHOODS TO AID GOVERNMENT IN FIGHT FOR THE 8-HOUR LAW (Continued from Page One.) that no man or body of men can afford to do.'- Mr. Adamson also declared it was his personal opinion that the suits to test the constitutionality of the eight hour law were brought in a further effort to secure advances in, freight rates and that if any definite assur ances of increased rates were given, the cases would not be pressed. - The brotherhood heads, still quite as uncommunicative as at the time of the conference which resulted in enactment of the Adamson law .appeared well pleased with the situation tonight. They- were' "particularly elated over their talk with the President and the prospects of addressing members of the Federation in Baltimore tomorrow. "Of course, .we said nothing to the Presi dent but a few words about his re election," W. G Lee, head of the Train men, said with a laugh. "Naturally, coming from Ohio as I do, I had some thing to say about how Ohio came to go Democratic as largely as it did." No Agreement With Federation No agreement exists between the brotherhoods and the Federation lead ers that an effort will be made to bring all railroad workers . under, an eight hour law, Mr. Lee declares. He said the-- conferences which led to an al liance between the organizations were productive only of an agreement to work for the general betterment of con ditions among all organized railroad workers. V The conference at the Department of Justice today followed issuance of or ders from the brotherhood lieads to their officers In every city where' a stilt has been filed, to be of all possible assistance to: the government attor neys. It was understood - that the brotherhood leaders explained many in tricate features of their present wage scale system, being particularly anxious that the government attorneys under stood their mileage payment system, which is to play such an Important part in the suits. FOUR BROTHERHOODS MAY JOIN AMERICAN FEDERATION Baltimore, Nov. 20. Affiliation of the four railroad brotherhoods with the American Federation of Labor as a separate body was regarded as more than a possibility tonight by Influen tial Federation leaders. It was report ed on reliable authority .that represen tatives of the railways department of the Federation had been in conference with officials of the brotherhoods look ing to an affiliation of all railway men with the Federation. Two separate organizations of rail way employes with membership In the Federation that would give them the support of the organized labor forces, of the country was the plan, according to information obtained tonight. It has been arranged that the presidents of the four brotherhoods shall place their cause before the Federation con vention at tomorrows session. The Federation executive council already has reported to the convention that the brotherhoods were "assured of the support and co-operation of the Amer ican Federation of Labor in their struggle" for the 8-hour day. There can be no temporary amalgamation of organizations affiliated with the Feder ation and unaffiliated bodies, however, a Federation official declared, as the constitution of the American Federa tion of Labor does not permit stich amalgamation. ., Gompers Makes Reference. The only reference to the possibility of affiliation of the brotherhoods vlth the Federation coming from President Gompers was made late today at the close of a three-hour debate over what seemed to be an unimportant matter. President Gompers said there was in volved, however, the -principle of com pulsory association as against .volun tary association in the Federation. On the principle of ..voluntary association, he said, the Federation naa grown and thrived. Then he added: "Do you think that if we go back to compulsion it will induce the railroad brotherhoods to become affiliated? Is it not more likely. io; drive them away from us?" ,-. , ; Several resolutions in favor of a unl versal 8 -hour day are being, consider ed by the Federation committee on resolutions and Vice President Duncan. chairman of the 'committee, expects to report one of them tomorrow.
