If train connections can be made the hikers ?ere to leave Union station on either th? 7:20 or 9 o'clock Southern train for Warrenton. In the event that the itrike takes place, however, the walk lovers are to meet at the east end of the train concourse and decide by 9 o'clock as to the program for the day. i If the Warrenton trip is made the j group leaving on the earlier train will j rnake a tour of the town and vicinity, led by Capt.

AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY AND FENALTIES CARRIED; Commission Provided For tc. Report Results of Measure Within Nine Months. ' The compromise 1 >i 11 on which Con press will act today to avert the rail road strike called for Monday, which was agreed to after conferences be tween the President and the Senate and Mouse leaders yesterday, is given below. Brotherhood leaders have agreed to accept this as a basis for calling off the strike when it actually becomes a law. It makes violation of its provisions a misdemeanor, punishable by from $100 to $1,000 fine or not exceeding one year imprisonment or both. The labor lead ers insisted on having a penalty at- j tached. j It-provides for an eight-hour day at j the present ten-hour-day pay, effective - next January 1. Employes would be J given the pro rata rate for overtime. | A commission of three to be appoint- j ed by the President would report to i him and Congress in not less than six [ nor more than nine months, the effect j of the eight-hour day. Expenses would ! be paid by a federal appropriation of 1 $2a.000. The House measure was changed this . morning to conform more closely with the bill prepared for the Senate by fixing the date of operation of the eight-hour day for January 1, instead of December 1, as specified yesterday. The Senate measure carries a provision authorizing the interstate commerce com mission to fix schedules of wages on rail roads and appropriates $50,000 for com mission expenses, instead of the $25,000 carried in the Adamson bill. Provisions of Measure. Section 1. Beginning January 1, 1917, eight hours shall, in contracts for j labor and service, be deemed a day's | work and the measure or standard of J a day's work for the purpose of reck- | oning the compensation for services of all employes who are now or mat here after be employed by any common car rier by railroad which is subject to the provisions of the act of February 1, 1887. entitled "An act to regulate com merce." as amended, and who are now or may hereafter be actually engaged in any capacity in the operation of trains used for the transportation of persons or property on railroads from any state or territory of the United States or the Dis trict of Columbia to any other state or territory of the United States or the District of Columbia, or from one place in a territory to another place in the same territory, or from any place in the United States to an adjacent for eign country, or from any place in the United States through a foreign coun try to any other place in the United States.

MANY RAILWAY HEADS WORKED LONG HOURS - j Conditions Even Worse Than Those j Scored by Brotherhoods. It Is Claimed. Many of the railroad presidents now opposing the demands of the employes have themselves labored for long hours under conditions even worse than those which the brotherhood leaders inveigh against, according to soN&e sidelights thrown upon yester day's hearing before the interstate commerce committee of the Senate. President Underwood of the Erie system took copious notes during the hearing, some of which were designed to throw an X-ray on the statements of the brotherhood spokesman. After A. B. Garretson, president of the Order of Railway Conductors, had told of what he regarded as inhuman working conditions before the organization be came strong. Mr. Underwood wrote: "I was both a brakeman and a con ductor on the trip basis and I have been on duty as long as I could stand up. Sometimes it was seventy-two hours, but always it was the unwritten law that a man got rest when he asked for it." After several labor leaders had de clared . they were as ready to defend the flag as any one, Mr. Underwood made this notation: "There is not in the National (juard on the border a single engineer, fire man, conductor, or trainman. The lead ers would fire a man out of the broth erhoods if he joined the National Guard." Another note was: "The whole plan is to get more money than they get now and to make more jobs for more men, in order that the unions be kept up to full strength." 500,000 GERMANS LOST AT VERDUN, SAY FRENCH PARIS, September 1.?Competent au thorities estimate that about 500,000 Germans have figured in the casualties in the Verdun region alone since Feb ruary 21, the beginning of the great German offensive there.

Migs Jeannette Rankin Nominated for Congress in Montana. HELENA, Mont., September 1.?Miss Jeannette Rankin of Missoula, suffrage | worker, who ran for the republican j nomination for representative-at-large in Montana, appears to have led the state ticket on scattering returns re- j reived since Tuesday's primary from I thirty of the forty counties. Miss Rankin was the only <^andidate who came out on a "dry" platform and the tremendous? vote given her may fore cast.. it is said, the result of -the liquor referendum next November. George M. Farr of Miles City also was nominated for Congress by the republicans. The democrats apparent ly have named Representative John M. Evans and Harry li. Mitchell of Great Falls as their ?andidates. The progressive wing of the- repub lican party has won a victory in the naming of former Representative Charles N. Pray of Great Falls for United States senator and Frank J. Edwards of Helena" for governor. The latter will be opposed in November by Gov. S. V. Stewart, who was renom inated by the democrats. United States Senator Henry L. Myers, democrat, who was unopposed, received a large com- j plimentary vote. i Mexican Commissioner Lands. KEY WEST, Fla., September 1.?Luis Cabrera, head of the Mexican de facto government commission, which will meet an American commission at Ports mouth, N. H., in an effort to settle inter national questions, arrived here today from Mexico on the .United States trans port Dixie, accompanied by James Linn Rodgors, American special representa tive to Mexico. Secretaries and inter preters accompanied Cabrera and Rogers, who will leave late today for Washington. Commander Warren Jay Terhune of the naval station here plan ned to give a reception in honor of the party shortly before its departure. STRIKE POSSIBILITIES ADVANCE FOODSTUFFS Market Men, However, Expect That Normal Prices Will Follow Settlement. Conditions in the wholesale produce market on P. street and along Louisiana j avenue between 9th and 10th streets i this morning were very unsettled. Al- | though it was generally felt there | would be no railroad strike, retail deal ers were endeavoring to lay i" good stocks to be ready for emergencies. Sharp Price Advances. On many commodities sharp advances have tak^n place since yesterday morn ing. Eggs have advanced a cent on the dozen; live hens have gone up from 1 to 2 cents, and the advance on dressed hens has been 3 cents a pound; chickens are 2 to 3 cents a pound higher alive and from 3 to 4 cents dressed; Cali fornia oranges have jumped 50 cents on the box, and cantaloupes from the west and home-grown peaches are each 25 cents higher on the crate. Irish potatoes are today quoted at from $4.25 to $4.50 a barrel, an ad vance of about $2 a barrel since Tues day. This advance on potatoes is due mainly to a shortage in the crop, al though the dealers say the strike situ ation caused them to go higher than they would otherwise have done. Housekeepers Lay in Supply. Then, too, . housekeepers yesterday, fearing they would be unable to buy potatoes if they put it off, began iaving in supplies much larger than usual. This caused- a run on the po tato market and at once boosted the prices to the high level they are today. In the livestock market live sheep, which have been unchanged in price for a month or longer* are today quoted at 5 to 6 cents a pound, an advance of 1 cent. Lambs and calves have each advanced a half cent, choice grades of calf selling on the hoof at 13 cents a pound. The general opinion among dealers seems to be that if the strike is avert ed the market prie'es will return to normal as quickly as they went up. In response to the prolonged agita tion regarding the hardships suffered by government 9UI age pensioners by reason of the increase in the price of necessaries, the British government has decided in special cases to make an additional allowance not exceeding half a crown per week.

Any Desired Alterations Made at Cost TROOPS MOVING NORTH; TO CAMP IF TIED UP STRIKE ORDER EFFECTIVE AT SAME HOUR ALL OVER I Approximately SO.OOO troops are under orders to move to or from the Mexican border. Many of them will be en route Monday morning, the time set for the strike. Army officials indicated today that if the troop trains were caught in a tie up, the men would detrain and make camp at whatever point they are, to wait Instructions. If Congress does not authorize the drafting:*of train crews for military purposes, soldiers might bo used to run the trains. Every regimental commander has the names of the men under him who could drive an engine or do trainman's serv ice if any emergency arose. As long as tin regiments ordered north remain in the federal service they Hr* not subject t<> the call of the governors of their states. Their par ticipation in strike duty wouid have to be on the same basis as regular fed eral troops. EifTerence in Time Considered When Forms Were Handed to Trainmen. Denies Breaking Faiths in* with the President and ordering a strike while negotiations "were pro gressing very well." The statement denied the charge of breaking faith, and said that a strike never was ordered until It was learned that the railroads were preparing against a walkout by equipping quar ters for strikebreakers and takinu other similar precautions. Cleveland. Ohio, will have tr:al exposition in Septembe in i::dus Railroad brotherhood leaders, in re sponse to many queries as to the hour set for the nation-wide strike, have explained that the strike order, if not rescinded, would be simultaneously ef I fective throughout the country Mon da-y morning at 7 o'clock, eastern time, s The hour named in the orders dis tributed among the trainmen in the ! eastern time belt is 7 o'clock, while i different forms went to those iri other ; belts designating 6 o'clock for th~fc man in central time, 5 o'clock in mountain ' time and 4 o'clock in Pacific time.
