EIeHT-HoUR LAW VALID.

TIE DECISION Of the United States
supreme court in the case Of At
ldns against the state Of Kansas settles
FOR am time every doubt as to the con-
shutionality OF law which prescribes
eight hours ga "a days labor on public
ard private work. In similar case
one taker up from Utah, the supreme
court had held that whore private in
teres;s were involved the eight-hour law
was constitutional. Now if is held that
the Kansas law, which covers. public
IS well as private work, is also consti-
tutional
It may be true, as cOntended by the
attorneys for Atkins. that the ahirma-
tion of the law means that men who
want t0 work more than eight hours
viii be deprived Of their right to do so.
but the opinion of the court covers this
point very thoroughly. Speaking for
the court. Justice Harlan said:
$50. ALSO II 10 be said that a statute
like the one before as is mischievous in
3ts tendencies, the answer is that the
responsibility therefor rests upon the
legislators. not upon the courts No
evils arising from such legislation could
be more far-reaching than those that
might come to our system Of govern
ment il the judiciary, abandoning the
. sphere assigned to it by the funda-
mental law. should enter the domain
Of legislation and upon grounds merely
OF justice or reason or wisdom annul
statutes that had received the sane
tion of the peoples Representative"
Continuing. Justice Harlan says that
while it is true that il is the duty Of
the courts TO see 60 81 that no man is
deprived of his constitutional rights.
st Is equally true that legislative enact
ments be recognized and enforced by
the courts because they express the will
OF the people Exceptions may be made.
OF course. when laws are clearly Uncon-
stltuuonal. but the Kansas instance is
not one of them The fines assessed
against Atkins must be paid or he must
serve them out I'm jail
The decision win undoubtedly cause
great joy in labor circles and among
friends of organized labor generally.
Nor need 30 interfere seriously with
public on private work. IN no state that
has adopted the eight-hour law has
progress been impaded. Undertaking.
Eave gone forward with at least as
much speed as under the ten and
twelve-hour days and the men who
work with their hands have been inn
mecsurobly benefited.
III sudden crises, where il is absolute
. j. necessary for men TO labor more than
the allotted eight hours. provision is
made by the statutes. But in fair
weather and under ordinary conditions
eight hours Of diligent manual labor is
enough for any man to perform.
