LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
AZ MpoRTANT CASE.

The re hearing OF the case of the
State Of Nevada vs.. Peter Kair took
place in the State Supreme Court at
Carson this week aud a decision will
be rendered 10 the near future. This
IS one Of the most important cases
ever tried in this or any other state,
the point at issue being the consti
nationality Of the eight hour law as
passed by the Legislature. Peter
Kair was accused Of having worked
aver eight hours in one day and was
convicted after a hard fought trial.
He appealed to the State Supreme
Court and that tribunal sustained
the eonstitutiouality of the law. His
attorney recently petitioned for a
re-hearing on the ground that JUS.
tice Harlan Of the United States
Supreme Court, had decided a few
weeks ago that the New York eight
hour law which was similar to ours,
was unconstitutional The State
Supreme Court granted the petition
and the re hearing this week was the
result Testimony was taken last
Monday, Kair's witnesses testifying
that work IN a quartz mill or cyanide
plant, was healthy and the witnesses
for the state testifying that they
worked in quartz mills and were en-
ioying poor health in consequence
The decision Of the court is awaited
with q good deal Of interest, rs
pecially by the labor unions.
