All women worship physical

as strong, capable beings, afraid of

LAW HELD REPUGNANT
Employees May Be Discharged for
Belonging to Labor Unions.
OPINION BY JUDGE HARLAN
Federal Supreme Court Decides Rail-
roads Have Right to Dismiss
Union Men as Such.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The constitu-
tionality of the act Of congress OF June
/, 1898, prohibiting railroad companies
engaged in interstate commerce from
discriminating against members OF
labor organizations in the matter OF
employment, was called into question
by the case Of William Adair VS.. the
United States, which was decided by
the supreme court of the United
States favorable to Adair. The opin-
ion was by Justice Harlan and held
the law to be repugnant to the Con-
stitution.
The court held that Adair, as mas
ter mechanic of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad company. had a
right to discharge an employee be-
cause he was a member OF labor or
ganization just as it was the en-
ployes right to quit such employment
because of his membership Ia such
organization Such course, the de-
cision added, might be unwise. but,
regarded as a mere matter of right,
there could be no doubt Congress
could not, under the Constitution, au.
thoriYe violation of contracts under
the guise OF protecting interstate
commerce.
Justice McKenna delivered dis.
senting opinion favorable to the law,
in which he said the courts decision
proceeds along very narrow lines
