Mr.. Brownlow on Saturday with Mrs.
Florence Kelly, secretary OF the Ma
tional Consumers Leasue. and Miss
Constance Leupp. president OF the

The Consumers League has played

with Corporation Counsel Syme-
Health officer Woodward. in direct
charge Of the inspectors under the
law, also has been consulted recently.
"Many questions in regard to the
enforcement of the law have been
held In allegiance because of the pend
ing case attacking the constitution
ality of the law" said Commissioner
BrOWnlow last night. These ques'
tions have now been cleared up by
the action OF the court and the rigid
enforcement of the law will be taken
up. Similarly, prosecutions have not
been pushed out of courtesy to the
court, but there Will be no further
delay"
Corporation Counsel Syme said that
though an appeal OF the case had
been noted by the complainant, the
favorable action of the Supreme
Court sufficiently established the pre-

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Justice
Mccoy, OF the District Supreme Court,
upholds the constitutionality OF the
recently-enacted eight-hour law
which prohibits the employment in
certain places and certain work In Ihe
district of females for more than
eight hours a day and six days
week
The decision was handed down In
the case of the injunction proceedings
begun by Basil B. Earnshaw, stock
holder in the Congress Hall Hotel cor
poration, to prevent the district from
compelling the management Of the
hotel to comply with the law in en-
ploying female help. The action, also
designed to test the validity OF the
act, was brought through Attorney
A. S. Worthington.
Justice Mccoy points out In his
opinion that with the exception OF the
words "or more than six days a
week." the district eight-hour law
is the same as that In force In Cali
fornia, which was held constitutional
by the United States Supreme Court
in an opinion handed down February
%. 1915, by Justice Hughes, OF that
tribunal Justice McCov quoted at
length from that opinion.
Corporation Counsel Syme at once
made a motion to dismiss the petit
ton in the case and later began ac-
tive preparations for the enforcement
of the law.
AS the district courts ruling is
based largely on the ruling Of the
United States Supreme Court, 1t Is
not believed that the test will be car
ried further.

ase Of State VS.. Walter Schultz
ssProbabiy no decision affecting the
ise OF highways in recent years Will
ave such an important bearing upon

1T has been the custom OF the

4Under the decision rendered by

The lane is a blind one with trees

see If all was clear. He is understood
to have seen the car but believed 1t

on slow gear on account of the heavy
load.

the trolley car coming at fast rate

full speed ahead, but when his for
ward wheels cleared the track the
trolley struck the car, smashing it
into kindling wood and dragging it
about Sc feet down the track before

knee. Mr.. F'rohock also escaped Sc
we're injury. A wrenched arm and a
slight cut on his chin being the ex-
tent Of his injuries. The men In the
