General Bonaparte delivered the argu-
ment on behalf of the Government be.
fore the United States Supreme Court
In the case of William Adair against
the United States, which tests the
constitutionalty of the Erdman act of
1898.
Organized labor has in recent years
depended on the Erdman Law for pro.
lection in strikes and lockouts.
William Adair. who was master
mechanic for the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad Company af- Covfngton,
KY was indicted under the Erdman
act for discharging, or threatening to
discharge. from the employ OF the
! company Fireman o. B. Coppage be-
cause he was u member OF the Order
of Locomotive Firemen. Adair was
tried before Judge Cochran and was
convicted. On writ of error Adair
then brought the case to the Supreme
Court.
Attorney General Bonaparte con-
tended that the constitutionality of
the of the Erdman act and the deci-
sion of Judge Cochran should both
be upheld. Mr.. Bonaparte told the
| Court that If tho Erdman law is de-
clared unconstitutional the whole sys-
tenn of Government mediation will fail.
