DOUBLE SHIFT
LAW IS UPHELD
Supreme Court of Nebraska Takes
Favorable Action in Suit to
Test Validity.
SHIPPING INSTRUCTION TEST
(From a staff Correspondent.) }


LINCOLN. Sept. Especial 1.-The SUI
preme court handed down its first
opinion today following its summer vaca-
ton. The opinion declaring Lincoln fire
men entitled to double shift may be
of considerable interest as It involves the
constitutionality of law passed by the
last legislature.
Double shift for LiDcolu.
The law passed by the last legislature
for double shift for firemen has been
upheld by the supreme court.
Lincoln city officials refused to put
the law in force and an appeal was taken
TO the supreme court. The city officials
made the fight against the constitu-
tlonality Of the law claiming It was class
legislation"
Chief Justice Morrissey, who wrote the
opinion, holds otherwise and the law will
stand giving Lincoln firemen a double
shift system.
shippers Instructions Void,
"a common carrier is not bound TO
comply with every arbitrary request
made by a shipper of live stock as to the
place where such stock shall be uuloaded

obliged to comply with such requisites

Whether a particular request or instruc-
ton of the shipper is reasonable or I'M
