Washington, May 29.-The supreme
court today decided drugs may be lab
elled as cures for man and yet be alb
solutely ineffective for that purpose
without violating the pure food ard
drugs act.
Johnson, the deTencant In the case in
trial, was indicted in the federal
courts of Missouri, in 1909, on a
charge of having violated the pure
food and drugs act of 1906. 1t was
alleged that Johnson, doing business
under the name of company, shipped
from one state to another certain ar
ticles designated as "Cancerine tab.
iets,' etc, the labels upon which were
false and misleading in that they i'm
piled that the articles would cure and
were effective in bringing about the

HARMLESS DRUGS LABELED CURES"
NOT TABOOED BY PURE FOOD LAW

Measurements about the ingredients

curative proportion of medicines.
The government appealed to the
supreme court. 1t was the first case
to come to the court under the drug
section of the act.
In the arguments before the su-
preme court, the government admit
ted that the construction it put upon
the law would prob10ly break up the
patent medicine business in this
country. On behalf of DR.. Johnson,
it was contended that if the govern
ment's view prevailed that every ply
sician would become a criminal if he
prescribed for a patient in another
state and made any suggestion az
to the efficiency of his prescription.
1t was stated also that the biggest
trust in the United States, the medical
trust dominated by the so-called regular
physicians, would be delighted If the
patent medicine concerns were put
out of business by this case.

Act Limiting Hours of
Employment for Rail
Men Passed On.
BY SUPREME COURT
Trainmen Must Not Be Kept on
Duty for More Than is
Consecutive Hours.

Washington, May 2s.-The hours
of service law for railroad employees
passed by congress in 1907, was UP
held today as constitutional by the
supreme court of the United States.
The decision was announced by JUS
tice Hughes in test suit instituted by
the Baltimore and Ohio.
DECISION UNANIMOUS.
The decision of the court was un-
animous. Justice Hughes said the
words of the statute were plain that
only persons engaged in interstate
commerce and interstate carriers
were affected by the statute. In this
particular, he said. il differed from
the employers Iiabiliay law of 1906.
Because interstate employees some
times engage in intrastate business
did not affect the law, he added.
AUTHORITY SETTLED.
AS to authority of the interstate
commerce commission to issue an
order putting the law into effect,
the justice said that the entire Ques-
tion of authority had been settled by
legislation in 1910. The justice
found no other objection to the or
der or to the law itself.
1s HOURS MAXIMUM.
The act made it unlawful for any
common carrier engaged in interstate
commerce to permit any trainman
subject TO the act 70 remain on duty
for a longer period than 16 consecu-
i've hours. or any telegraph operator
more than o to Is hours. according
10 the time the telegraph station was
opened for business. The act also
created periods of rest for the en-
ployes.
ID. & q. ATTACKED LAW.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
company attacked the law. as uncon-
stitutional on the ground that it ap-
piled tointra-state as we'll as 10 inter
state railroads and employees. The or
der by which the interstate commerce
commission placed the law in oper-
alton was attacked also. The rail
road claimed that congress could not
and did not attempt TO delegate to
the commission the power to require
reports of violation OF the law; that
the labor and expense necessary to
make the reports constituted a taking
Of the railroads property without due
process OF law and therefore in viola
ton OF the constitution: and that IL
compelled standardization by Off
GERS and employees OF the railroad, al
SO in violation OF the constitution.
The objections to the law were met
with denials by the government Both
the law itself and the order, draftCG
by the interstate commerce commits
sion, were upheld as constitutional
by the circuit court Of the United
States for the district of Maryland,
where the case originated.
