Railroads Seek Extension to Nine Hour Law Timetable
The Interstate Commerce Commission faces a petition from the Washington Railroad Company and others seeking more time before the nine hour law applies to railway operators. The filing argues a shortage of telegraph operators will hinder compliance and risks widespread station closures if not granted relief. Other railroads echo the claim, warning of severe service disruption across many small stations nationwide. The commission aims to craft a satisfactory resolution before the statute takes effect.

Russia Plans a Big Navy to Be Completed in 1917
Representatives of the Russian admiralty outlined a naval program to be finished by 1917 including battleships with duplicate gun crews and hydrographic work. The plan budgets 107,008,000 rubles, with an alternative minor program for four battleships and a lighter fleet costing 25,000,000 rubles. The commission did not act, and a US Foreign Office representative noted Turkish military buildup near Russia is not aimed at Russia but reflects regional instability. The Sultan reportedly desires no quarrel with Russia, and the broader general staff effort is framed as not threatening to Turkey.
