Strike Ends After Eight Hour Bill Passes Congress
The strike by railroad workers ended three hours after the Senate approved the eight hour bill. President Wilson signed the measure as he travelled to Kentucky. The act sets eight hours as a standard with pay adjustments and a six to nine month commission study. Only two Democrats and one Republican opposed. Railroad costs rise, and legality questions linger as mediation continues.

Wilson Opens Campaign With Attack On Republicans
President Wilson spoke at his Long Branch summer home to about 8,600 people, denouncing the Republican party as a practical and moral failure while praising his own record. He argued for a big America, defended Mexico policy, and pledged continued Democratic control, noting his priority for oppressed men and needy women over property interests. The address framed a stark contrast between Democratic achievements and Republican opposition, signaling the year’s campaign document.
