find man and his wife dwelling, stop
and make inquiry as to who IL the boss.

man. 69a alt
So the wife was called, and she af.

Warrington, Jan. 2s.-The constftu-
tionality Of the act Of congress Of
june /. 1885. prohibiting railroad com.
paniss engaged IN interstate com.
nerce from discrimmating asainst
~of,labor .orsanisations in the
matter Of employment, was called
into question by the case OF Williams
Adair W. The United States, which
was decided by the supreme court Of
the United States yesterday favor
able to Adair. The opinion was by
Justice Harlan and held the law to be
repugnant to the constitution.
Has Right TO Fire Man.
The court held that Adair, as mas.
ter mechanic of the Louisville 4
Nashville Railroad company, had
right to discharge an employe because
he was member of a labor organiza-
ton. just as it was the employees
right to quit such employment be.
cause Of his membership in snch or
ganization. Such a course the decir
sion added, might be unwise, but re-
garded as mere matter Of right
there could be no doubt. Congress
could not under the constitution au
thorize violation of contracts under
the guise Of protecting interstate CON-
merce.
Justice McKenna delivered dis.
senting opinion favorable to the law.
In which he said the courts decision
proceeds along very narrow lines.
Lower Court overruled.
The case came up to the supreme
court on q writ OF error from the
United States district court for the
Eastern district Of Kentucky, where
Adair had been fined 800 for threat
ening to discharge from the employ
OF the company locomotive engineer
named Coppage because the latter
was q member OF labor union.
In his decision Justice Harlan held
it was Adair's right to serve his en-
ployer as best he could, 80 long as
he did nothing forbidden by law as
contrary to public welfare.
Justice Holmes also expressed the
opinion that the law should be con
strued as constitutional He thought
that the right to make contracts had
been stretched to the limit by the
courts decision in this case. That
congress had a right to so legislate az
to encourage labor organizations was
another suggestion Of Justice Holmes.
