HOURS OF SERVICE
LAW HELD VALID
Supreme Court in Decision UphoIds
the Railroad EmpIoye Act
Passed in 1907
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Washington, D. c., May 29. = The
hours of service law, for railroad en-
ployees, passed by congress in 1907,
was upheld as constitutional today by
the United States supreme court. The
decision was announced by Justice
Hughes, in the test case, brought by
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
The act made it unlawful for any
common carrier engaged in interstate
commerce to permit any trainman sub
ject to the act to remain on duty for
a longer period than sixteen consecu-
tive hours, or any telegraph operator
more than nine or thirteen hours, ac-
cording to the time the telegraph sta
tion was opened for business. The
act also created periods of rest for the
employees.
fhe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
company attacked the law as unconsti
tutional on the ground that it applied
to intra-state as we'll as to interstate
railroads and employees. The order
by which the interstate commerce com
mission placed the law into operation
was attacked also. The railroad claim
ed that congress could not and did no
attempt to delegate to the commission
the power to require reports OF viola
tion of the law; that the labor and eS
pense necessary to make the report
constituted a. taking of the railroad
property without due process OF lay
and therefore in violation of the cor
stitution; and that it compelled sci
incrimination by officers and en-
ployees of the railroad, also in viol;
tion of the constitution.
The objections to the law were nae
with denials blythe government. Bot
: the law itself and the order, drafte
by the interstate commerce commi
sion, were upheld as constitutional b
the circuit court of the United State
for the district of Maryland, whel
the case originated.

WEALTH OF MATERIAL IN
MOUNTAINS OF OKLAHOMA

It seems that as time goes on, the
natural resources of Oklahoma be-
come more and more apparent. Every
few months something new develops
in the way of natural wealth and COM
mercial possibilities. Chester A.
Reeds, former Oklahoman, now of
Bryn Mawr college (Pennsylvania) is
the author of bulletin dealing with
the geological and mineral resources
of the Arbuckle mountains.
Besides dealing with the physio-
graphy, stratigraphy and structure of
the Arbuckle mountains, DR.. Reeds
goes thoroughly into the matter of the
mineral resources of the region. He
finds that the minerals in that region
which occur in paying quantities are
non-metallic; those of most CONNER
cial importance being asphalt, glass
sand, cement materials and building
stone.
Although only a few of the asphalt
quarries are being worked at the pres
ent time, owing to the varying de
mand for the product, there are mex
haustible deposits of this material ly
ing dormant in this region. The de
posits of material for cement manu-
facture are also practically inexhaus
tible, for as quoted in this bulletin
'In order to justify the erection o
cement plant, there should be il
sight at least 3,S00,O0O cubic feet 0
limestone, and 100000 cubic feet 0
: clay or shale for each kiln" Although
| these figures seem large, there are i
r the Arbuckle mountains hundreds Q
f times as much material available.
